Keeping To My Word

Anyway, I did say that I would attempt to blog at least once a month. So I've decided to go with this standard set of questions ala interview format to help myself along.

So what's been happening with you ?

Hmm... I was away almsot the whole of last week in Pahang/T'ganu on business so I had to do a fair bit of driving.

Which I suppose is alright because I find a zen like calmness in driving on long scenic highways. Just had to watch out for the occasional cows or kampung dwellers on their bicycles.

The stretch of high-way at Kerteh was especially interesting as I had a sense of awe as I was driving past these massive industrial refinery(?) structures along the road.

Anything new aside from work ?

I suppose not. Nothing I'd care to post publicly here anyway..Changing the subject, I've been trying to switch jobs but can't find any openings that interest me where I'm working. Maybe I'll hold out a little while longer then I'll have to start looking outside.

I've taken up swimming with limited success. Still trying to sort out the whole "breathing" underwater thingy. Anyway, the rate I'm going, I don't think I'll be doing the aqua man anytime soon. Special thanks though to my sister and girlfriend for being patient enough to coach me.

Found any good places to eat lately?

Found a place to avoid. Deustche Gausthaus place in TTDI. Pork overdose. Pork Knuckles + Sausages + Lack Of Vegetables = Pig Out Session = Indigestion.

Read any good books lately ?

Just finished Globalisation and it's Discontents by Joe Stiglitz. A bit dry but interesting in certain sections. Read it out of curiosity on what the book had to say about Dr.M and Malaysia's defiance against the IMF policies in the mid (late?) 1990s

Heard any good music / Bought any CDs lately ?

Been listening to the Guillemots. Am contemplating buying the album if they have it in the stores.

Also been listening to ADEM, this folk-tronica-ish music.

Listening to Sufjan Steven's Illinoise for the umpteenth time and surprise surprise, I still like it.

Watched anything good recently ?

Not this month. Been watching some new Bleach episodes but the quality is going to be Bleah soon if this "Bount" stuff doesn't wrap up soon.

Anything to add ?

Youtube is addictive. Been surfing it lots for music videos and such.
