We've paid for a week long cruise from Singapore later in the year. We're pretty excited about it and have been speaking to Singaporean friends to obtain insider knowledge about places to visit and best places to shop. We initially booked two days extra in Singapore after the cruise finished but are thinking about extending it to four. Everybody says that you can't see everything that you need to in only two days. So, we're looking into it.
Last night, around 8pm, the phone rang. The Boy answered it and someone told him that "Your cruise has been cancelled." By the time I got to the phone they had hung up. I rang Flight Centre's after hours service shortly afterwards and they informed me that they didn't have access to the tour operator's database and I'd have to wait until Monday.
I went to Travel Centre today and they were unable to tell me anything. As we have a public holiday on Monday I'll have to wait until Tuesday at the earliest. Not too sure what's happening and not too sure how upset I should be. If the cruise doesn't eventuate we still plan to visit Singapore and stay for a week.

Happy Chinese New Year
Today marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year. Has it ever occurred to you, as it has to me, that the Chinese appear to be a little confused? Is this some sort of plot by the Communist Party in China to keep the people of the republic in a state of confusion so that they can't get on the road to democracy? I think that the Communist Party may influence when the new year starts and change it every year so that people don't know what day it is.
I fear for the 2008 Olympic Games. All of the athletes from other nations will turn up and the Games won't start. The Chinese will still be in 2007. Only once the disillusioned athletes have returned home will the Communist Party declare it is 2008, start the Games, and Chinese athletes will win every event and therefore the Games. Clever plan, eh?
Maybe all this confusion comes about because of a translation mistake with Confucius. The Chinese believe that they must be confused instead of Confucionists.
Confused? Perhaps you are like 1.3 billion of the world's population.
