Not Jedi. Just me going back to Malaysia. By the time this is posted, I would be on a plane back to Malaysia. I’ll also be returning to work on Monday. Its been long and swell trip, I wouldn’t have done it any other way. Hopefully the next stage of my plans will move along smoothly.

Update:Details have been added

Spent the last 2 days checking out these 3 places. Also learned a few things along the way.

What a fantastic Sunday morning (6th December 2009). Clear blue skies and warm sun, really wished I had brought a lighter coat.

I must admit, today seemed like a day of bonuses. A lot of unexpected good things happened today…..
