In the cab on the way to the client's office one morning, the cabbie asked whether there was a "M block" in the estate i live in. We do have odd names for the various blocks (eg. Poinsettia, Camellia...), but no block M. And then it hit me -- en bloc! As in, sell-your-house-and-then-have-to-move-somewhere-smaller-because-housing-prices-are-going-up-everywhere. I dunno. I kinda like where i'm living now, space-wise. It'll be next to impossible to get another place with the same floor space for a good price.

Went for the company paintball shootout yesterday. To sum it up, it was 1 hr 45min of waiting around wearing smelly helmets and 15min of adrenalin-heart-pumping-pulse-racing action. Would i do it again? Probably not. The equipment was really sub-par. My gun kept jamming, so half the time i was shooting blanks (ok, i know there's a penis joke in there, milk it if you must). The helmet kept fogging up so i couldn't see shit. The area is tiny, about the size of 2 small children's playgrounds. The whole experience wasn't by any means boring, but i'd say that the few minutes of fun aren't worth the rest of the hassle.
