I've really gotta learn to stop being so ambitious with these posts because I spend all of my time thinking about how I'm going to make the perfect post and then I end up not writing anything at all.
Well, last few days have been nice. Back from the rainforest in KL recuperating and truly appreciating what a luxury air conditioning is... My old friend from college, Julie, and her beau took me out to Putra Jaya (the government's administrative center future city north of KL).
After that, we went to go see Episode III (my second time at the theater). Man, I admit that the little boy in me was thoroughly satisfied by the movie and the underlying story was decent...but gawd...the dialogue had me squirming in my seat and groaning aloud...Am I the only one who was looking forward to Padme dying so I wouldn't have to be subjected to anymore of the terrible "romantic" dialogue between her and Vader? Basically, that movie would have been so much better if Anakin and Padme were not allowed to speak for uh...the entire movie.
Anyway, this afternoon, I catch a flight out to Sabah, a state on the Malaysian portion of Borneo. There, I'll take a basic open water scuba diving course, rest and get readjusted pressure wise for a couple of days, head out to climb Mt. Kinabalu (the tallest mountain in SE Asia), head out to the rainforest again to see Orang Utan and then...uh...haven't planned ahead that far.
If you're intersted in seeing pictures from the past few days, click on any of the photos from the blog entry below and it'll give you access to the photos I've uploaded to my flicker account. The most recent photos are in the Putra Jaya folder.
On a different note, I'm pretty sure that at least a few folks out there are reading this blog from time to time, but I'll say it again: Any and all comments are deeply appreciated. Doesn't have to be long. Even a single word or phrase like "Cool" or "Be careful" or "So what?" is fine. It helps me to know at least who's reading...or that people are reading at all (sniffle sniffle).
Okay. I'm off. Gotta take a shower and argue with taxi drivers to get me over to the train station. Someday, I'll write about how much I hate most taxi drivers here in KL.

Hi- thanks for sending me the link to your blog. for now i will have to content myself with following your adventures and living vicariously while i sit in my little office in Arlington, Virginia - trapped under florescent lighting day after day watching the planes take off from National airport outside my window. (sigh!) My favorite entry was the one with the photos of chicken rice. that chicken looks freakin' good. maybe i'll go to Boston Market during my lunch break today and eat an inferior chicken meal. have fun out there!
Thanks for taking the time to read my humble little blog and thanks for the message! Yo, that chicken rice was indeed SLAMMIN'. Better than the Boston Market, you really should come over and try some of the real stuff for yourself!
Nice blog Tatsu. Don't take any guff from them taxi drivers.
