Haze or just another cloudy day. I can't differentiate which is which anymore. It is making a lot of people fall sick. *cough* *cough* Take care! Picture taken from apartment. By the way this the view of Sri Hartamas and Bukit Damansara. There was a water cut in most regions here in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor which started last Saturday but it seems that most part of the region's water has been restored. Is it true?

It has been quite some time since I last wrote. I wonder why I bother writing in this homepage but it is good to keep a milestone in our lives. Some
day I may look back and laugh at the things I have written.

Masako went back to Japan for 3 weeks today. The apartment felt empty without her around.

I miss Japan. It is a beautiful place to be. Sometimes I wonder how a country so technologically advance is able to maintain such beauty.

A lot of my friends think that it is expensive to travel to Japan. Yes it is - some of it.

Flight ticket to Osaka by Northwestern Airlines - RM1639.00. It used to be RM1280 - I hope they dun hike it up further.
Food? - McDonalds is about 500 Yen a meal - that's about RM20.00 for a set Big Mac meal.
Accomodation? It is a killer unless you have some pals in Japan and can bunk with them. I do not know much about cheap accomodations but I know
living in a hotel can come up to RM500-RM1000 a night.

Well I am not very well versed about Japan's cost so I should be the last person to talk to but if you need help from Masako, she will gladly tell you
how much things cost in Japan.

The fall of Estrada, Indonesia unrest's political situation.... sometimes I wonder if there is any person these days who is honest?

My wife's favourite polictical leader - Alberto Fujimori - why I dunno...

My compilation of Fujimori can be found here. hahaha... I hope this doesn't turn out to be a political web site of I will be arrested by the ISA. *laughs*

Last night we watched the movie Billy Eliott. I wouldn't recommend it to a child as all the "fooks" words came out. But then again children these days
will hear it from someone else anyway. She cried at the ending. *sigh* OK'lah' movie.

After so many years of developing & consulting for other businesses' web site, I finally decided I should start on my own homepage.
Lately I feel burned out. After putting in so much energy and time into what I presumed to like doing, I finally feel that I do not have the
passion for it anymore.

My passion? It is my wife -- Masako. She brightens my day all the time and I adore her with all my heart. She is everything to me.
We live together in the heart of Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) in a comfortable 3 room condo called "Menara Hartamas".

From today onwards, I wish to write the events of my life that took place in this unknown homepage.
