Curry Rendang

Arrived in KL yesterday afternoon.  After a bit of a mix up with the pickup whereby the company forgot to inform the hotel of my change in plans, I finally got on the road back to the hotel.  Quite posh @ Le Meridien the newest member of the Starwood Hotel chains.  Racking up the loyalty [...]

Belated Happy New Year Greetings

Thanks FC for the always enjoyable year end recap. One of the things I look forward to now that I can’t do it in person. I’ve been traveling a lot, actually almost constantly for the past 6 months now. Currently back in the hometown, Ipoh Malaysia . B- and I have been running errands and [...]

Posting the FF Miles

Back in Kuala Lumpur today. Last night, spent some QT with friends over dinner and drinks, Choya Umeshu over a big block of ice. Great stuff ! This weekend, me and B- had an extra helping of sushi and sashima and it was all good. Taipei definitely was festive with X-mas with bus drivers, store [...]

Running around

Getting ready to head out for 2 meetings and then a close mad dash to KLIA for my mid afternoon flight. It’ll be a Mach 4 shave. Looking forward to coming back again. So much to do in Taipei once I get back. I heard another Typhoon is on the way. So you guys come [...]

More Malaysia

Ramadan celebrations and the 9-God Festival for Buddhists are all happening this past week. Just came back to KL from Ipoh. Got in a little late and luckily picked up a Chinese taxi-driver.

Training

I’m in Malaysia and the weather has just been fantastic. Flew in Saturday morning, day before the unfortunately named Typhoon Longwang. From KLIA went directly up to Ipoh to see my cousin who was on holiday from China. It was nice as my uncle’s family was all back and could spend time with them. Always [...]

En Route ….. still

I thought after thousands of miles of traveling I know pretty much most of the “finer print” stuff related to travel. I was mistaken. Apparently, under the code “G” for group, everyone under that code must travel together. So in my case, me and my wife with the plane tickets in that group needed to [...]

It’s summer doldrums

So global warming is the real deal….Scorching hot all around the world. This past few days in Ipoh, even the locals are complaining that it’s been really unbearable. And I thought it was just me. Lamenting about the lack of I-infrastructure here, making it difficult to get online without finding a nearby I-cafe. There are [...]

Ipoh and another year under the belt

Back in the clan hood this past week. Came over for a number of reasons. Mostly to attend a conference on IT Project Management. You can find out more about it from the Mastering IT Project Management: Best Practices in Asia Pacific brochure Met quite a number of important people associated with Malaysia’s Cyberjaya program [...]
