We're the 5th friendliest

An article in Yahoo! Travel showed a research conducted by HSBC Bank indicating Malaysia as one of the top 5 friendliest nations in the world. The friendliest country went to Bahrain, however the article mentions that only 31 out of more than 450 expats took part in the Bahrain survey. The main criteria was generally based on the ease of the expats and their families in setting up their new lives in the said nation.

But we're number 5?.I didn't know we were that easy to get into..

The Return

It's been quite some time since my last post. I've been very busy with a truckload of stuff, mainly the business me and my fiance are in. Things are going good so far. A little update:

Just bought a new computer which is actually intended for office use but is currently parked and kept running (or is test-drive the better term for it?) in my room. I got tired of the old desktop (it kept acting up with one problem after another) and decided to take out the old hard disk (lot's of my goodies are still in there) and throw out the rest. It's pretty much outdated anyways so I figured there's no use to either repair or make it collect dust in my room. The new one however is obviously far superior and is keeping me occupied so far, i.e. experimenting with softwares which were way too heavy to use in the predecessor due to its inability to carry such load...A little note, once this PC is placed in the office, I'm planning on buying another for my permanent home use.

Too tired and sleepy to make any long or useful entry. More will come soon.

P/S: I recently found an old Seal album.The one which is self-titled, released in 1994. It was in a box of old CD's under my bed. I remembered it being bought by my dad by some mail order service back when we were in the states. Had a listen and realized that I actually like it!...Aside from the ever too familiar track "Kiss From A Rose"(Batman Forever soundtrack back when Nicole Kidman was still hot which did nothing whatsoever to improve the quality of the movie), other tracks were also quite awesome. I guess I just couldn't figure it out before because of my age...am I agreeing to the fact that I'm actually older now?...damn...

New Template

Yeah..will go with this one for now. Lovin' it.

Tremolo Arm(s)

Got rid of a whole bunch of old and useless stuff yesterday while cleaning out my room. Finally decided to throw out an old ripped off guitar gig bag. While I was checking the side pockets of the bag to see what was left inside before I chucked it, I found another guitar strap from my first electric guitar (the kind with bright colors similar to that of Carlos Santana's..the strap that is, not the guitar) and, what do you know, the missing tremolo arm from my Ibanez!..So that's where I left it. So now I have 2. Cool.






Was so excited that I posted the discovery on my Facebook status. Consequently this guy I know from the uni days asked if he could have the extra. I replied in the most subtle manner which indirectly implied-Not a chance-. That piece of metal is just too expensive to give away. And he's probably the last person on earth I'd give it to.Go buy your own sucka. Cheapskate..

Russell Curtis' Band

Here's a video of Russell and the band from a wedding gig not so long ago. I've played with the drummer (Cin) and bassist (Zaim) on a different show. You can watch these guys perform at Quattro Avenue K on Wednesdays and Fridays. Whenever I come to see them perform, I'm usually asked to jam a few songs with them. This is their version of 'My Girl". Cool stuff.
