just read this about turning your lights off or leaving them on when you move about your home. so it seems it's better to flick em on and off often, use less electricity and all that. only thing is it will shorten your appliance's life-span, obviously.

doing my bit for the planet : )

definitely will make more long-term sense than the over-hyped "Earth Day" event which looked more like a money-making and publicity stunt than anything else.

so, for one hour, we will participate. then for the rest of our aimless lives, we throw rubbish out our cars, we spit wantonly, deposit chewing gum anywhere we want to (god some landed on my head just tonight! mo-fos! i will get you!), leave our soiled baby diapers by the pool (if you know where i live, do tread carefully...), and the list just goes on and on and on and on.

sadly, i'm no recycling angel either : ( i feel guilt every time i take out the trash. really i do.

speaking of which, whatever happened to those recycling bins that appeared for a while all over the place? hmmm... must ask the guy who started that business, you know, where companies place ads on the dustbins (correction, recycling bins). another observation is that malaysians just don't know how to separate their trash into plastic, paper, glass. trash is trash and will go anywhere we please, thank you.

oh me oh my, environmental issues do get me all boiled up....

hey i'm back!

where we been huh... well for one, we made a baby :) so for the past six months or so, it's been shopping, preparing, one doctor's appointment after another... it's like the MAIN EVENT for the year!

baby is on its final run now... in about a month or earlier (!) we shall see how our offspring will look like! am hoping it will be well-behaved lil gurl. hopefully. praying.

apart from that - life is pretty much the same. work, play, hang out, eat, sleep...

more progress reports as we get along! short of time and inspiration now, rushing to get out of the house.

cheers!

Dateline: Beaufort, Sabah


I've just found a lepak place in beaufort, it's called Mok Cafe and of course they've got wi-fi and decent drinks (bubble tea which is hot over here in sabah.)

yesterday was a busy day... drove to this place called Tenom which is famous for its coffee, of which i have year-round stock of. wanna try? give me a call : ) one reason for the trip was to visit the factory and see if they wanted to do business but they seem somewhat reluctant. ah well. i'm quite happy to have been able to get adequate supply of the superb 3-in-1 kopi sachets.

if you ask me, its quality blows away ALL the competition in the peninsular. i kid you not. Nescafe, Old Town, Kopi Cap Kapal, whatever, they all pale in comparison. who knows, you might be able to get it from the supermarkets later on in the year...

Tenom is nestled among mountains and getting there involves some driving up steep hills. it was first-gear going up, while going down was like playing Need for Speed, no brakes all the way heheheh. The view along the way is beautiful, with gentle valleys framed by majestic mountains in the background, and mist like cotton wool amongst it all. postcard-perfect, i tell you! Photos will be up in my facebook page later on...

now it's back to the PS2 for more havoc!
