A great game

It was an exciting match no doubt. New Zealand looked like they were going to overwhelm England in the early stages of the game but England gradually fought back. At one time, they even managed to lead by two points, 22-20 but New Zealand are made of sterner stuff. They immediately hit back, scoring another try that was duly converted. In the end, but it was a hard fought one. I like the way England organised their scrum when they are five yards from the New Zealand line. Its constantly turning, creating confusion to the opponents, not knowing where the ball is. Its a new thing, very creative.

My favourite Assam Pedas

Whenever I'm in Melaka, there's a restaurant that I will always go for my dinner. Its called Assam Pedas Power. It's open from 8pm onwards till the early hours of the morning after. Can't remember exactly how many times I have been to the restaurant but must be more than five or six times. The Assam Pedas is real hot. I can't take it but I like the taste nonetheless. That's why I keep coming back. The fishes are fresh too. The last time I was there was about a month ago. Now I'm thinking of going again.

Love it

Four days away from the office, I miss riding my motorbike. I enjoy riding the bike to work and going back home from work. Its something that never cross my mind before but I find its a pleasure riding the bike. Weaving through the traffic, beating the jam, riding at my own pace. Nothing could be more enjoyable. I just love riding my bike.

That's my routine

Back in KL after three nights in Bintulu. Nowadays, I don't fancy the food they give on the plane anymore. Perhaps its a case of taking them too many times. Since working again, I have been flying KL-Bintulu more than a dozen times already. Every time, the food is about the same. Although they have three choices, I have tried them all. Now I can't take them anymore. So, I try to sleep most of the time on the plane. Next week, I'II be flying to Bintulu again. That's my routine now.

Busy time

Tonight is the third night in Bintulu. Tomorrow I am going back to KL In sha Allah. Been a tiring two days, meeting from morning till night. Next week it will be traveling to Bakun again. There's a few things I have to do that needed me to be in Bakun. I also need to have a meeting in Kucing anytime next week. Then there's the work I need to do while in KL. Wah! Don't know how I can fit it all in. Looks like its going to be a busy few weeks ahead of me.....

When I was young

Its the year 1972. I was only 16 years old. Living and schooling in Taiping, Perak. My father rented a small house for me to stay with my mother in Taiping while he himself remained in Selama. They could hardly afford it but such was the sacrifice they made for me, to ensure that I have the best schooling. My mother would cook the meal, washed my clothes, make sure I have everything that I needed. As I have said many times, I didn't appreciate it then but now........
