First Appearance

Ok, after 2 years, not sure why I am back to blogging again. Actually I do respect some bloggers who could just churn out one blog after another day-in day-out (how did they get some much inspiration? don't they take a week vacation somewhere?). Some people use blogging to express their thoughts/views/feelings, or to share their expert knowledge, whilst some use it to generate passive income. As for me, I haven't really thought about what I want to achieve with this blog, what I now is I have promised myself to continue blogging for at least next 12 months. ;)

So what is interesting this week? I have not really got much update about KL ever since moved to this extremely peaceful and relaxing city known as Miri. Actually there are a lot of interesting things to write about life here but guess I'll just leave it for another day.

For a start, I think I will just quote what Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik said in the media (in relation to Dr.M's offer as witness in PKFZ case), "I would like to say thank you very much to him (Dr. M) because that is very generous of him because he was chairing the Cabinet meeting and I am being charged for cheating the whole Cabinet so all these witnesses are very important", and "If they bear witness that they were cheated then I am guilty. If they bear witness that I cheated then there is a case for trial," wow... either I am too sensitive or this guy was really speaking his mind by hiding some meanings in between the lines. Anyway, it is always interesting to listen to how local politicians talk after they retired from politics (you know whom I'm referring to)

On the other hand, it seemed some hot money has entered into local money / debt market to take advantage of strengthening MYR. For all of you who are bookworms/geeks , it is good time to buy books or whatever gadgets from Amazon and pay in USD, as you might be pleasantly surprised how this could translate to some saving compared to buying in MYR from local stores. A quick check shows hat since beginning of this year, MYR has strengthened by about 8.7% to-date and if it continues for another few percentage points, that will be really helpful as our government can declare that our per capita income in USD has risen and we're a step closer to high income league.
