Return To The US

One of the reasons why I hardly blogged these few months is not just because my mind has been on other things but also because I didn't know how to write this next part.

So I'll just put it somewhat obliquely, matter-of-factly, wrapped up in another piece about a trip I made.

In July 2014, during a routine ultra-sound scan, it was detected that the cancer had spread to my liver. After a Radio-frequency Ablation to remove the nodule, we went to the States to discuss further options.

First up was a trip to the Cleveland Clinic, where I had treatment for my eye a year earlier.

Walked around at night in the open field near the First Energy Stadium. They were having some kind of celebration I think, perhaps in anticipation of the upcoming Gay Games, hence the laser beams.

After that, we headed to New York, where I tried to but failed to get an appointment with the Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Centre. I did get to go to Broadway though. The lights and energy were a lift to spirits, and perhaps hope.

Happier Days - NUS MBA Graduation

On 10 July 2014, I graduated with a Master's degree in Business Administration from NUS...

It feels not too long ago when I was pondering where to do it... That was a different world, a different lifetime, it seems....

Happier Days - Trip To Phuket

In June, on the invitation of the Asian Banker's Club, I went to Phuket to explore some real estate opportunities by the Thai developer Sansiri.

I didn't buy a unit, though I came close, because the proposition was good and because the Asian Banker's Club people were not pushy but extremely nice and helpful (Maybe next time).

Well, that was my first time to Phuket and of course the beaches were Ace.

And the night life....exciting....

But also a word about the hotels. For example, for a hundred bucks Sing, I stayed at the Hyatt Regency at Kamala Beach on a hill overlooking the sea in huge room with my own jacuzzi pool.... Very nice... And I have been around a bit in Hyatts....
