Notes On A Trip To Kota Kinabalu

2009-07-29T05:30:13Z

The first thing you need to do is to get a room at Laban Rata from Sutera Lodges. Book ahead because rooms are incredibly limited. We booked 8 months ahead and only managed to get a non-heated room at RM1,200. Try to get a heated room. You don't ...

Looking For Food

2009-07-17T14:43:05Z

As much as I like to taste the local scene wherever I travel, I wasn't going to spend another dinner squatting on the ground chewing on some awful piece of grilled chicken. So I decided long before we got back to the hotel that we were going to h...

Notes On A Trip To Yogyakarta

2009-06-30T13:13:50Z

I answered a few questions about my recent trip to Jogja and was astonished that it amounted to quite a few words. Here's a revised version of that exchange. We stayed at a hotel called Ibis. Expect a Holiday Inn type place, i.e. not 5 star but t...

The long road between high school and home meant that I had to take long bus rides across town everyday. Lucky for me I had a buddy along for the ride, and time of which we spent debating the merits of Juarassic Park, if Billy Jean was the grea...

We are breeding a culture of complainers. Nothing wrong with that. So go complain about politics, your music, the place you work. The world belongs to the people who say, "I can do better."

Puduraya

2009-02-24T13:32:13Z

There is a reason why people are surprised when I tell them I'm walking through this part of town. Once I get to the streets I smell the thick smog. My 15 minute walk will take me on asphalt through banks and various Indian owned shops. All cover...

About Sleep

2009-02-20T08:55:24Z

I have been having some trouble with sleep lately. Most nights I get to bed pretty easily and then I wake up at around 5 and can't get back to sleep anymore. My brain just turns on at the time and refuses to turn off. My mind goes on autopilot a...

Fortune Teller Chat

2009-02-04T14:45:54Z

I had a chat with an apprentice fortune teller once and she told me that the hardest thing she's had to learn was how to tell people the things that they didn't want to hear. I think the idea is that you can read a person's future by observing t...

I Wake Up

2008-10-29T15:08:56Z

I wake up. There's light coming through the curtains, which means it is a little pass 7 now. When I first moved in I got rid of all the clocks to see if it would help me sleep. I don't know whether the plan ever worked but I got pretty good at ga...
