[u]Penang[/u]
Ok, I've been in Penang for 3 days now. I drove down
from KL on Sunday and was greeted by the loveliest view of a rainy Penang afternoon where thick mists and clouds hung low above the hills. I've always loved this kind of weather, and as I reached the end of the Penang bridge, entering Penang, I felt an inkling of joy...its like I've left all my troubles and bad memories back there in KL and start anew in Penang. Forget all the bad stuff, at least for now.
[u]Accomodation[/u]
I'm staying at a hotel in Penang for this first week before shifting to a 3 bedroom service apartment which I'll be sharing with another 2 of my colleagues. Now the best thing about staying in a hotel is that you get fresh, clean towels everyday. My room provides me with 2 bath towels and 2 face towels daily, so I use a fresh one everytime I shower. What bliss. Back in KL where I had to do my own laundry, I sometimes get so lazy that I only change my towels like after a week.
[u]Food[/u]
Ok, I may soon face problem eating in Penang. I can't be eating all the Penang delights every night. They're really good, but they're also oily and fatty and full of cholesterol. I'm still scouting for a place where I can find good homecook meals at reasonable prices.
[u]Exercise[/u]
Vistana Hotel has a lousy swimming pool - its so small that after ten strokes I have to change direction again. I could drive down to a sports center nearby which has an Olympic size pool, or I could swim at JH's condo...gotta check out the pool size later.
[u]Work[/u]
Oh man, the only reason I'm taking on this project is the money. This is by far the most restrictive and uninteresting project I've ever been into. There are many things here which I'm not authorised to do and the fun thing about the BI implementation has 'robbed' from us by the in-house consultant. And my job here to guide and to assist...that means I am merely giving advice and recommendations and assistance to the end users. Today I had my first argument with the project team leader, who also happens to be the IT Manager of this company. I expect further arguments between us.
On a lighter note, I've decided to go to the Hoobastank The Reason concert next weekend. Disagree will open for Hoobastank so thats a bonus. :) Oh ya, I learned a new word today - 'mahungas'...tee hee hee....
