Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:07:35 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Haven't been blogging in a while, wish I had.  Also haven't been to the gym much, definitely wish I had. --- Just revisited Facebook properly for the first time in a while, and caught up on months of news from friends...  and realised how disconnected I feel from the life I once ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2009/08/07/disconnect/ It's been a pretty great stretch since Shanghai.  Weeks of intermittent work, an exceptionally fun weekend in Delhi, a really special and luxurious week in Hawaii, several marvellous sunny days in San Francisco... who wouldn't be happy? Plus I got to see my cousins, Malcolm and Forrest!  Time really does fly - in no ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2009/04/04/what-a-wonderful-life/ Taken 9 Nov 2008 --- I should probably also mention I'm back from Shanghai, having wrapped up last week on my nearly three month project there (which felt more like six).  The clients seem happy, they bought several more months of work.  I'm planning on a nice restful period of recreation and ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2009/03/03/puff-puff-in-the-morning/ After a couple of 18-hour days in a tight circuit between office desk, conference room and hotel room,  today was a revelation.  A 90 minute massage at a tasteful spa during office hours, followed by a lovely Teppanyaki buffet dinner with sake.  Wait, I get paid to do this?  As I ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2009/02/04/on-american-democracy-and-obama/ It's upon us!  Happy Chinese New Year.  I am grateful to be home with family and friends.  Our traditional Reunion Dinner was even more lively than usual this year with the addition of another family.  Instead of New Year's eve, we had brought the dinner forward a day to accommodate ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2009/01/25/year-of-the-ox-musings-on-the-state-of-fashion/ It's three hours to midnight, and 2009.  Today I'm in Beijing, yesterday it was Xi'an, and three days ago it was Shanghai, with a brief day in Singapore.  In just four days I will be back in Singapore and then almost immediately back on a plane to Shanghai.  What a ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2008/12/31/happy-new-year-2/ Now that I've gotten my typical treadmill run up to about 90+ minutes, I've been watching far more cable TV then I used to, given that I have either my iPod or the gym multi-screen TV system to keep me entertained/distracted.  All in all, this is probably net positive, since I ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2008/11/16/things-i-heard-on-cnn/ It's been a good couple of months since I last wrote, and who knows why, given that I've had a very relaxed couple of weeks lately.  Almost a month, in fact.  In summary, since the last time I wrote: - I visited the Dins of 2008 on tour in Bangkok, but ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2008/10/08/and-back/ Here in Nigeria again, for work.  Who would have thought I'd be back here so soon?  Certainly not me. Nigerian TV is surprisingly good, with top notch Hollywood films and the latest music videos playing seemingly non-stop.  To date, despite being fatigued every night, I have watched Meet Joe Black, The ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2008/07/13/live-from-lagos/ It's been a little too long, I know.  Hopefully it's a skill not easily blunted by disuse.  Randomly, at today's case kick-off meeting I noticed the date and realised it's been exactly one year since I started at this job.  One year ago today I was a fresh new intern, and ... http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/jasonyeo/2008/06/25/happy-anniversary/
