Evening

Too tired to even find some comments to make today.

Tuesday February 27th 

Late afternoon

Nothing much to report, work, work, work. The hotel, contrary to their advert, does not have the services advertised. It is in fact brand new and still smells of fresh concrete.

It is in the middle of nowhere as well as far as facilities are concerned (restaurants, shops etc). The problem is that there is not much choice here really. At least it is clean enough, bording on the too clinical. Another 3 nights here.

Night time

It has been a long day at work. I shall not comment on the hotel this evening (and for the next 4 nights) as I shall probably crash into bed and fall straight to sleep. I have managed however to find an internet connection, probably an unsecured WIFI from one of the shops across the road. I do not know how long this will last for though. Anyway, arrived safely in Alor Setar. A short crazy ride in a taxi took me to the plant in no time at all (the office shuttle who was supposed to pick me up was actually at the airport but unfortunately had broken down).

6am

Difficult to wake up so early this morning but I made it to breakfast with some time to spare before the limo picked me up at 6am to take me to the airport (here are a couple of clips from outside and ) to catch the first flight to Alor Setar in the north. Short flight really, nothing special to report. Am having a short coffee / cigarette break at the office right now. It will be a long day. Here as usual, the sun is shining and it is boiling hot. Glad to be inside with the aircon blowing full blast.  

Sunday February 25th - pm

I guess I had quite a good rest day today. Unfortunately I have to get up early again tomorrow to get back to the airport to catch the first flight to Alor Setar where I shall be for the rest of the week. I call that place “no no land” as from past experience I have no possibiity to get in the internet from there  which nowdays is a major disability I guess. So I might be fairy quiet for the next few days.

Took the opportunity this afternoon to check some of the services Google has to offer. They sure have come along way. I have decided to post my “postcards” there and I am still experimenting with other things. For instance their association with YouTube and video sharing. So here it goes, a short video of the redecorated Uncle Chili’s bar in the Hilton and a short clip of the band practising tonight.

Sunday February 25th - am

It has been a while, but I just made it back in Malaysia. Landed in Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) a little while ago. The usual limo ride from the airport took me to the Hilton in PJ in just under the hour. What does one do at 6am? I guess shower, breakfast and hope that there is some sun for a change so that I can spend a couple of hours at the pool for a well deserved nap. I intend to take it easy today.

I had an SMS waiting for me when I landed with the results of yesterday football games. Thank you Frank. So Hannover 96 won again… They sure are having a good run at the moment. What a change compared to the beginning of the season.
