I was going through my morning routine of Yahoo! news feeds and there are two news bits from Malaysia. It's rare enough finding anything on Malaysia but two in a morning? Cool :) though wished the news could be a little more inspiring.
Anyways, if you're curious, do read one on a jealous wife aka bobbit and this devastating news on the Langkawi Underwater World. Sigh... and I was just about to visit next month. Sigh sigh sigh...

Mooncakes and makans...
I had a good weekend filled with all things sweet... family came up and we had a pleasant time chatting, shopping, and eating. Big on the list is of course mooncakes! I loved the packaging of this one, especially the rabbit. Tastes pretty good too.
On Sunday evening, I had a break fast with an old friend and his family. It's always a pleasure meeting him up for our once yearly ritual! This time, we had dinner with his wife and 6 kids at Hartz Chicken Buffet at Summit. Food is how I remembered it though the Summit branch is a tad congested.
At the office, we are kept entertained with origami! As we prepare for a 'toy' filled school holidays, we are testing out various folds and patterns. Check out my rabbit and in the background, my stork!
Colleagues and I also had a picnic at the park on Friday. The view is amazing :)

12 months
One year! It's been a whole year of changes and eventful is has definitely been!
- 12 months ago I had my last CreativeKids class at my old place. We had an awesome farewell party. Gosh, I missed those kids and the classes.
- 12 months ago I left the college to join my new company. In that time, I've been fortunate in being able to travel to North America twice!
- 10 months ago I committed to my first house.
- 9 months ago Rick left for Australia. I've been living alone ever since.
- 9 months ago I also reinstated CreativeKids but only one class a week at a later hour. Am glad the loyalists stuck with it and came even though they were all bleary-eyed!
- 5 months ago I moved to my new place. Lots of legalese hurdles but am glad to be in my new home! Had 3 great housewarming sessions to celebrate!
- Last month I finally had my airconditioning installed. My home is now complete and comfortable!
- Next month I will realise one of my 'must-dos' in life which is to bring my whole family on holiday. Am thankful to be able to finally afford to do this.
Life has ups and downs but it's good to be thankful and remember the ups and find ways to work with the downs.

Merdeka morning
I slept in... woke up happy, and then did my laundry. I missed the parade on tv but I'm sure there'll be a repeat. Happy Merdeka!
I was watching Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends when Malaysia was mentioned. Apparently, Mac thinks Singapore is in Malaysia. Interesting :)
Have a good weekend!

Big Five-O!
It's Merdeka time! I just love this holiday for all the patriotism on parade. I love this country and amidst the whirlwind of work, I'll celebrate quietly at home being thankful for what we have.

Bangkok :)
Bangkok was fun though quite exhaustive! First up, there's so many types of alluring desserts! I must have ate a week's worth of food in 2 days. Not all food is good though like this weird looking toasted banana that tasted fine but has looks only a local could love!
Shopping is the theme for the trip as we went from mall to mall and spent almost a day at Jatujak. The famous market is huge and is deserving of all the amazing things you hear about it. It is huge... it does sell almost everything... and it's worth a trip!
The downside of such sheer scale is that you need to walk a lot and that means getting tired fairly quickly. Bus rides are a good time to snooze if you can find a seat :)
And you cannot go to Bangkok without having Tom Yam Kung! The one I had was good though it had the negative side effect of turning Kotak invisible.
There's also other-worldly snacks that I should leave to the locals to indulge in.
I didn't buy anything this time round as for me, this trip is all about friends and food! Yum!

Wanderlust no more!
I'm a Malaysian through and through. The moment I arrived in Canada I already wished I was home! I'm glad for the experience although the very eventful trip home could have been done without. I had flight delays, a cancellation, terrible turbulence and misrouted luggage, not to mention running out of cash. Ah, the memories... :)
Anyways, for a quick preview of my trip, let's begin in Ottawa (pronounced O-do-wah) where I attended a conference and spent an additional 2 days visiting really great museums. Here's a picture of the Parliement House at night at 930pm. Days are long in summer. I'm here to watch a sound and light show.
Ottawa is a really laidback capital with really good museums. Here's the National Gallery of Canada, an artsy fartsy place and I saw a collection from Renoir, the impressionist painter.
In Ottawa, I also visited the War Museum (amazing place, green bathrooms!), Museum of Civilisations (very cool), Currency Museum (yawns), Museum of Science & Technology (they have a steam train!), Museum of Nature (dinosaurs and polar bears!) and the Byward Market (the place wherre Ottawa grew from as it was originally called Byward Town).
Next stop though is Toronto which is a bustling metropolis which strikes more as a capital! Toronto has some amazing buildings though like the Royal Ontario Museum seen here. The funky extension is called the Christal and it links to the old very historical like building.
And this is their City Hall. I like!
I've seen so many dinosaurs in so many museums but this one being assembled in the Royal Ontario Museum my favourite. It has a certain classic pose and it's so cool! Too bad it's not complete yet so can't enter the gallery.
Next stop is New York before ending at Houston. New York really lives up to its reputation. There's such a buzz and it's really a great city to visit. And I found the cheapest fruits here sold on the street. I didn't have much time here but managed to check out Ground Zero, a few other landmarks and of course, the Statue of Liberty!
I was away for 2 weeks and saw lots and did lots. One of the highlights though is bumping into a wild bunny at a park. Made my day!

I’M TAGGED, THEREFORE…”
Chun has tagged me and by gawd knows what law, I will comply. This stuff can be so revealing though! Darn my honest bones...
Rules:
Repeat subject header “I’M TAGGED, THEREFORE…”Copy + paste these rules in your entry.Complete these 15 totally useless statements & questions.Mention who you were tagged by, followed by 8 people who you’ll be tagging (of which by now, it'll be no one!).
If I was an opposite gender, what would my party clothes be like?
Black, slinky and short. Plunging if there's stuff to plunge into.
At 10am this morning, I was…
In a cab driven by Rose, a talkative grandmother who insists on showing me her coin collection while she drives me to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. She insists on taking detours because tollways are congested (so she tells me) but I know she's just ripping me off on a few extra dollars.
At 10pm tonight, I will be…
Watching tv in my hotel room. Probably some house renovation show on HGTV or TLC. I've been watching lots of those lately.
Who should be the next Malaysian Prime Minister?
Someone who has driven in KL before during rush hour.
If my spouse told me to do without sex for a year, I would…
Be divorced.
If I was a piece of a car, I would be the…
Marquee. No work at all but I sure will look good!
If I was told one day that I would have to give up either 1) anything chocolate OR 2) ever seeing the beach again, for the rest of my life, which one will I give up?
The beach. I don't quite care for sand in my slippers and the ocean is full of stuff that's alive. I can see fishes at the aquarium but nothing beats eating chocolate!
Singapore is good for…
A supply of tourists to Malaysia. Come come, spend spend.
If I could only say 3 words before I die, what would those last words be?
Format my harddisk.
Who would I like to be left on a deserted island with?
Just one person? Rick.
Die by drowning or by fire?
Fire. At least if the flames are hot enough, it can be quick. Drowning will be interminably long.
What one single thing would you buy with your last RM9.95?
Cut slices of mango - RM2.00, Sweet & sour chicken rice - RM5.50, Pisang Goreng - RM1, Soya Cincau - RM1.50 (am sure I can bargain it for 5 cents less). This is by the way my typical weekend dinner which I am sorely missing now!
If I opened a night club, what would I call it?
I can't type it... way too suggestive.
Don’t cheat: what’s “bulbous”?
Having similarities or the properties of a bulb, e.g. round, bulging like...
I think my ass is…
None of your concern.
Done done done!

NY NY
I'm utterly exhausted but also glad for the opportunity to 'see the world'! I am currently blogging from my hotel in New Jersey, just across the river from New York and I'm a little frightened actually. After the peaceful pace of Ottawa and the exciting hustle and bustle of Toronto, New Jersey seems like a snapshot of one of those CSI episodes where you expect someone to get shot at anytime. It's scary...

Hi from Ottawa
I left my house at 630am on Monday the 16th and arrived in Ottawa 10pm Malaysian time the next day. 30 hours in 4 flights and 5 airports can get to you.
I started work right away but I was optimistic. Sneaked a nap during lunch and never woke up afterwards. I will have some explaining to do at the office back home!
Anyways, just a short blog to let you guys know I've arrived! :)

I'm it...
I am back from a whirlwind tour of Singapore. Spending barely 3 hours at humongotic places like the Bird Park, Zoo, Night Safari, Science Centre and the National Museum is terribly inadequate. It was like going to a screening of trailers... you get a glimpse of what's there but you are left with nothing substantial or tangible enough which is silly because the whole reason we're there was to learn.
It was a good visit though. I have never been one to jump to go to Singapore as I don't really have all that much fondness for the city state. And after visiting the horror that is the Discovery Centre, I am definitely happy to be in Malaysia. I don't think any other country in the world will be happy claiming that they are 'artificial but real'.
For tourists though, Singapore really has it all and with great service to boot.
Anyways, am back again only briefly as will be off and away on Monday to Canada and USA. And while I'm sorting through last minute demands and planning what to bring, Kalamari springs this on:
Another Tagging Thingy!
First up, the rules!
1) Each player must post these rules first.
2) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3) People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
So, here goes my 8 random facts or habits about myself:
ONE
I like rabbits.
TWO
I love Nandos.
THREE
I like being asked out to stuff like movies and etc. but I seldom take the offer up as I'm usually just lazy to go out. When I do though it's usually all good and when prodded, I usually will concede.
FOUR
I need sleep. Above all else, my nightly sleep is not to be sacrificed.
FIVE
Trust is important to me but once broken, usually it's never recovered.
SIX
I do not like driving, especially to someplace new.
SEVEN
I have no ability to save money.
EIGHT
I am opinionated and when I want to be, I can be quite annoying about it.
Now, the harder part, finding 8 people who have not already been tagged. Let me see:
- Jeremy!
- Meng!
- Jason!
- Jin!
- Clara!
- Alan!
- Zeke!
- Derek!
... and I think that's it...

Weariness in my bones...
I'm back from 7 days in Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. The cities were beautiful and the leisure time there was well spent but gosh, I am exhausted. Worse still, come Monday I'm off again to Singapore until Thursday then off again the following Monday. I am going to wear myself to the bone...
I used to long for the 'jet-setting' lifestyle but I know better these days. One got to be careful what one wishes for!

Guilt-ridden
Retail therapy binge is over.
I had a chat with a student yesterday who had to stop studying due to financial problems. His family can't support him and he has 3 younger siblings. In their interest, he needs to work to be able to send money home so the family can eat and the kids can go to school.
With a huge chunk of earnings sent home, he can barely afford essential costs not to mention food. Dinner is forgone on most days, breakfast is bread and lunch is usually a packet of Maggi.
Times like this, I feel blessed, thankful and ever so guilty for having so many things taken for granted.
Needless to say, I no longer feel like shopping.

Retail therapy
It's good to be back after being away for a week in Langkawi and Penang. The island cities are such shopping havens that I've burnt my wallet and had a good time (outside of work that is!).
Back in KL the momentum didn't stop though. The megasale is back and as usual, I find myself in a shopping binge and frenzy! Someone needs to take away my credit cards everytime the sale starts...
These time, in less than 2 weeks I've bought:
- 10 pairs of underwear
- 6 pairs of socks
- 5 t-shirts
- 2 polo t's
- 2 shirts
- loads of chocolates
- a 3-piece luggage set
- a pair of shoes
I am a happy (but broke) boy. Meng and Chun, you need to rein me in when we're at Bangkok otherwise I'll buy everything.

Wanderlust...
Everyone who knows me knows I'm a homebody... I enjoy staying at home and an ideal day off is a day in front of the tv eating mangoes... Work however dictates otherwise. Come June and July, I will be off and away to quite a few places. So if my blog starts attracting cobwebs, you'll know why :)
So I'm packing bags and about ready to go to...
- Langkawi
- Penang
- Kota Kinabalu
- Kuching
- Singapore
- JB
- Ottawa
- Toronto
- New York
- Houston
and will be briefly transitting in Taipei, LA, Chicago and Denver, all in less than 2 months. Woohoo?
World... here I come!

Grr...
I love my life. It's not perfect but I really have little cause to complain. There are gripes however, and as petty as they may seem, it annoys me to heck! As work is a big part of my life, a lot of the things that rub me the wrong way are things that happen daily. So here's my top 10 list of things that makes Dan grumpy!
#10: The LRT stops at KLCC for a good amount of time as a lot of commuters stop here SO those at the back, you really don't need to push and shove your way out. Just move with the crowd otherwise I will step on your toes!
#9: Go take the free Sun paper but don't read it and walk. Having a barricade of slow-walking readers who can't move in a straight line tempts me to start pushing people. Don't tempt me.
#8: Mobile phones come in a silent mode. Use it. The only one who enjoys those annoying 3-minute long text alerts are you. Seriously.
#7: When parking cars, just go head in, especially when there are a line of cars behind you. I have better things to do then to spend 5 minutes watching you move in and out trying to straighten your car into the space backfirst.
#6: Gym equipments are not chairs. If you need to sit and rest, go home.
#5: Music in the office may soothe your soul but it aggravates mine. Use headphones.
#4: Don't smile at me and say hi when you are a backstabbing, incompetent ****. Colleagues with misplaced sense of purpose and authority should be torched, skewered and fed to ravenous birds.
#3: If you want something, just say so. I am not a mind reader.
#2: Where are all my pens!!!
#1: I don't care why the server is down. Get it up and working!

Let the good times roll...
I'm feeling very elated yet somewhat down both at the same time. It's confusing, brain-bending and it's culturing previously non-existent insomniac tendencies.
I've had a great (and final) housewarming makan with family last Saturday. Other than my immediate family, aunts, uncles, cousins and even my grandmother came for a really good time together. I am definitely thankful to be able to call these people my family (and thank goodness for that as you can't really choose your family!) and it was the easiest housewarming ever as everyone chipped in to do just about everything. I wished I could post some photos but I left my camera in my dad's car which is now in Melaka. Groan...
Anyways, when it's all over and done and everyone's gone home, it's utterly depressing to be alone in your house and missing the warmth and company of people you care about. I guess I'm still not quite used to living alone as I've always had people at home with me. Perhaps it was the rain that sparked the melancholy.
It's Monday now and I'm at work facing a deluge of things-to-do, courtesy of my five day weekend last week. Maybe jumping right into work will get me out of my doldrums... or maybe it's just a Monday thing.
Have a good week ahead!
I've had a great (and final) housewarming makan with family last Saturday. Other than my immediate family, aunts, uncles, cousins and even my grandmother came for a really good time together.
