Letters from the Equator

Since everyone’s been talking about photos and cameras lately, I decided to post up one of my favorite photos, taken before The Sleeping Beauty, last November. Lee Lian had wanted to watch the ballet as she had never seen a professional ballet on stage before, and it was a once in a lifetime kinda thing, [...]

austria Originally uploaded by manjade. My wife and I have a few things in common, and one of them is traveling. The last time we went somewhere, it was Bangkok. And before that we had 2 weeks in the UK, though that was partially a work trip. Next month, we’ll be going to Sipadan. I [...]

ES wrote a lengthy post about our Kuala Selangor outing the other day, so I won’t bother to regurgitate the contents. Instead I’ll just share from my heart that these guys have been with me for a really long time (since secondary school), and it’s just great to hang out with them over a meal [...]

superflash Originally uploaded by pbo31. I just got back from Singapore about 3 hours ago. The flight was okay. The trip was okay. The shopping wasn’t spectacular. Friends were really fun, but it’s been tiring. I underestimated the amount of ground I would cover over the two days that I was there, and I’m glad [...]

Singapore, here we come Originally uploaded by lullalli. I’ll be gone for about 3 days for a project that’s approaching a specific deadline. I’m there to fast track some of the work that’s going on, and it’s strange that I’m the one who’s initiating this work trip. I always wondered when I’d get to that [...]

And because I actually do have patience for traffic jams, I spend my time calculating which is the fastest way through rows [...]

bangkok tuktuk Originally uploaded by jaremfan. I’m finally back from Bangkok, and just in time for a busy work schedule. So much for that break I was longing for. All in all, I’m really happy how everything went. We were supposed to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday, so I suggested Bangkok because I thought it [...]

I’ll be gone for awhile, but I shall return in a few days. Meanwhile, the new dining room lamps have been fixed. There have been some problems with the plumbing and wiring. Streamyx has not been activated yet. And I’m off to shop for some interior decor on a light budget. Enjoy the weekend. Mine’s [...]

The Star has it: article Since MAS can’t do a proper job of it, they’re letting the cheap people fly out to UK on FAX airlines. KUALA LUMPUR: Fly Asian Express (FAX) will fly its long-haul operations using the brand Air Asia X, under franchise from AirAsia, starting July. The flights will have two classes [...]

Bombs Explode in Bangkok — Locations Originally uploaded by newleypurnell. Why do I end up going to places where bombings have taken or will be taking place? Firstly, I was at the World Trade Towers in New York in summer of 2001, and when I got back to Kansas, the catastrophe of 9-11 happened. Then, [...]
