Aurora Borealis from Chena Hot Springs.
It was near to midnight and the sky was clear with subzero temperatures in fahrenheit, and this completed the "my day"

2011 Chapter 3: Back and about

Apologies for abandoning this blog for a long while (as usual).

As an update, now I'm back to the tropics, my home country of Malaysia. I've been back ever since graduating at Purdue back in May, and now am an employed citizen, of not only one job, but two jobs. A full-timer engineer and a part-timer photographer.

Be all that you can be! says the US Army ad once ages ago.

The world is surely different when you look at it on different time scales. When the MAS KL-bound flight from LA touched the soil of Malaysia, with the announcement of "Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, Selamat Datang ke Malaysia", I felt my patriot self awaken at the thought of my sojourn after my three years absent from Malaysia. Surely, there are countless tales I can spin of my experiences abroad, but now I'm interested in the things in front of me, in my homefront.

Things change. People change.

As I'm writing this, I'm listening to Yuna, who is now famous among the younger Malaysian crowd, one of which I'm just testing the waters to listen. Why am I even listening? Just because she'll have a performance in the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas come this 12 September, for the price of rm80. I went to a Zee Avi concert once, though I can't remember how much I've paid for it (USD35?) and I enjoyed it with my friends in Milwaukee, a land not Malaysian, to enjoy music by a Malaysian artist. So, I'm testing the possibility of spending and enjoying the rm80.

Anyway, I'll try and make it a habit of ACTUALLY updating this blog/diary/thoughts/whatever once a week, if not about my thoughts, at least by some of my writings, that I've never kept in the blogosphere.

Hey ho! Up, up and away! (The Feedjit engine is really cool..now I finally know that some people do actually visit this blog..haha..who knew? I didn't)
