Singapore Day Trip

I used to be wow’d when meeting famous Go characters for the first time. In 2008, it was Lee Chang Ho, world’s top player who I met during Korea AABC. In 2007, it was KGS Top Player, Fondle/Tartaric. Before that, there were Yuki Shigeno 2p, Cornel Burzo and Ondrej Silt. Heck, back during my double-digit [...]

Pictures of Kota Kinabalu

Perhaps I should develop a skill in photography since my work requires me being at highest altitudes all around Malaysia, recently in Kota Kinabalu of Sabah. The city is very nice. It has close proximity to the sea, not too busy unlike KL. Food is also cheap, and tasty. The only thing I dislike is [...]

Family Trip to Port Dickson

Went to Port Dickson with family today morning. Now that we are all located in Kuala Lumpur, organizing a family trip gets so much easier. Hopefully we will have more trips like this. Was I on steroid? Maybe I jumped here and there a lot, swam a lot, and went for jet-ski and banana boat [...]

More pics from WMSG

I am quite sick today. Perhaps recent Go tournament is finally taking its toll on me. Or perhaps the sudden change of weather.

Too long, and I had just had sucky breakfast just before boarding. I actually left my laptop, wallet, camera and car key in my bag [...]

A week in Johor.

Trip to Brunei 19th June – 22nd June

I arrived at the airport not too long after sunset, and Haidar was already there awaiting for me. He then drove me to Blue Eden Cafe. I initially was a bit eager to know what’s normally on Bruneian radio, but he played some Japanese CD music instead. Haha, why was I not suprised The appreciation [...]

4 days, too long or too short?

Yay… despite the very boring environment in the office, I got cheered up today when boss approved my leave request next Thursday and Friday. I’m going to Brunei for the two days and the accompanying weekends. 4 days in Brunei is pretty long time I think, considering the small size of the country and its [...]
