The Long Way Home


Hey guys, after three years in London I'm back on home soil and based in NYC!It's been awesome soaking in the vibrancy of this incredible city and after a week of tending to logistics I'm starting to settle into my new surroundings. The past month has been hectic saying goodbye to friends in the UK and packing up but I was rewarded with a nice getaway in Koh Racha (island 45 minutes off of Phuket).
And many thanks for the snaps of the StarHub bus/account statements! Always neat to see candids. Saw the Osim uSpace tvc and print whilst I was in HK and Thailand so you guys in Singapore might stumble upon it as well!

after half a dozen trips to asia in the past few months, i think i'm gonna stay close to home for a while. i say that now but of course you never know where work will take you next...

Zi Siong said...

actually, do u have assignments everyday?

so what do u do if ure not at work, at the gym, at the beach, and at the tennis court? :p

im actually quite envious of ur lifestyle, really

does it feel like retirement to u?

Richie said...

very rare to be working every day. there are stretches of that but in any case there's always plenty to do between jobs - castings of course, keeping in touch with friends and family, working out. i also tutor for standardized exams(SAT, GMAT, GRE), and that helps balance things out nicely.

Zi Siong said...

i see. tutoring. is it a very prevalent trend in the states/UK? in Singapore, many parents hire tutor because they believe tutors really give their child an edge in exams.

anyway thats a gd reply, because many people think that models have an easy life, like just hving to work a few days a month, get a high pay, slack off their time.
