NHK Radio hits Bolehland

It is 4:00 pm on a Saturday afternoon, and I am banging on the keyboard...
The usual punishment for going on an overseas trip again...

Anyway, the NHK Radio of Japan just broadcasted as top news, the protest at KL just held by our brethens of Indian ancestry...
The news listed the viewpoints and rationale of the protest, saying that the government has been treating them unfairly and such...
Plus, a report on the upcoming election as well...

Personally, long before that word came up in the current huha in US, I hope and had always hoped that there will be 'change' in Malaysia...

The citizens have been chewing on cucumbers for too long...
We need to change the menu to, well, bitter-gourd or whatever as long as it is not the same slimy stuff...

The least Malaysians should do is to vote in a strong opposition so as to keep those slimy nutheads on their toes...

Anyway, had planned to blog on my trip in Chiangmai...
Perhaps in the next post? No?

Kansai International Ghost Town

Holy cow, am feeling sooo sleepy...
It is 2 minutes to midnight and I am waiting for my departure to Chiangmai via Bangkok...
Boarding time is 45 minutes away, and what is there to do except to hit the keyboard...


Kansai International at this moment is like, all mine...
I can stretch-open my knees one meter wide and there'd still be room enough for me to elbow around...
There is just so few souls around at this hour...


Anyway, am really looking forward to visiting Chiangmai again...
Was there for the first time last December but the trip was too short to get to know the city...
I shall be visiting my counterparts at Chiangmai University....


Plan to rent a motorbike to cruise around the vicinity... the Wats, Ping River, the elephant camp... doodooodoooo...
Language will be quite an issue but let's see...


Been really busy at my workplace...
So, this trip doubles as a break from my routine work environment...
Still, am bringing my PC and my workfiles with me... god, the PC cannot live without me or what...
Will have to slam on the keys to come up with a couple of reports which are already due...

Officially, I should and will certainly be doing some research at CMU on the so-called 'internationalization of higher education'...


Still, the situation back home in Malaysia worries me...
Body snatching, creeping Islamization, the abuse of funds to win the hearts of the people before the upcoming election... pretty disgusting, I'd say...

And, eeek! I banged the car bumper against a pillar some days ago... and it was not my car... oooh...
