Back to BOLEH-land

So it has been some time since i last posted something but given the fact that i just arrived Malaysia less than a week ago, you can guess how busy I have been. There just too many mamak sessions to attend to! That being said, however, I finally have time to be sitting here at home in front of the Pentium 4 desktop of my home, which recently got upgraded to a 768 MB ram (whoa!!!). Well, honestly, like that ever mattered to me. But, hey, you can't complain as it still serves its purpose as a PC! At least it performs better than my Pentium Mobile, recently upgraded 2GB ram, which takes only FOREVER to load to the Windows screen.

Anyway, that lappy of mine is being fixed back at the Acer HQ. Just in case those of you who do not know what happened, both hinges of my lappy gave way and decided the weight of the monitor is too much a burden. It has been some time since I have written, literally, so instead of the picture heavy entries that I usually post, here is a written one (or typed, if you may)!

Life is good back in BOLEH-land and I must say that contrary to popular perception, I am not falling sick for the first two weeks back here. If you really must know, I think I was more sick in Tasmania during winter than I am back here. Sure, the air here is polluted but at least I do not get nose bleeds due to overly dry clean air during winter (or anytime except for summer). My driving skills have not gotten too bad, nor is it still any good. But I must say that I am still a little overwhelmed by the "courtesy" of the Malaysian drivers. I believe too much system in Tazzie can be bad for a Malaysian who will perhaps, spend eternity back here. The "aunty" drivers who can only afford their BIG-NAMED cars thanks to richer husbands, do not help in the situation any better. But that being said, BOLEH-land is still very much the way it was before I left the country.

Only difference was that some of the people I used to hang out with. Everyone seems taller and older. Most, though, are still the same.

Anyway, this is as far as I will go for today. I will blog more and this time it will be a mix of pictures and written posts. Till then, enjoy your day!
