English as main language and the importance of your appearance

Dear Blog, Recently I’ve found the love for writing and sharing again. I was in LCCT today for my departure flight to KK to visit Audrey and her family. Two funny observations today, seated right in front of me in the departure hall, was a pair of friends, locals/bumiputras/Malays, they are from Sarawak, thanks to my unintentional eavesdropping ability. The only reason why I overheard them was that, they were conversing in English the WHOLE TIME! This serves as a surprise to me, when the country/the government have been so strongly supportive of ensuring Malay stay as a primary language when Malays themselves, choose to converse in English and seek education aboard.

Spending time with friends and leg injury

Spend sometime with Cynthia and Yew Choe this morning and last night. I must say, though we haven't catch up for a long long time, we still had much to say to each other. It was a really good meetup catching up, getting to know how people have moved on in life etc. They are really really interesting, I must say !!!! Anyhow, I do not believe I spent 7 hours in total with those guys because it is just not in my nature that I spend time catching up :p I'll probably be doing something, which explains why some say I am either very driven or a workaholic :p Twisted my knee again slightly so I will be out of sports at least for 1.5 weeks so more time for pouch this, coming to university near you :)

Finally back in Malaysia after a full 24 months of UK and various European countries. Things have changed slightly here, more independent restaurants, a few new roads etc. Funnily enough, I feel that I've changed to. I think I'm more matured now etc. Friends are working so the afternoon is the perfect time for me to work on the venture since UK is only waking up. Am raring to get back into the stock market but haven't had much time yet. Week 1 highlights: 1) Went to Zouk first time, thanks to Jumi (BP intern visiting from UK) 2) Had Koon Kee, my favourite mixed/economy rice 3) Driving my Wira, except its 2 years older and makes loads of noise now 4) Actually spending more time at home than outside with friends 5) Picked up my racket to play with Andrew and his student again Week 1 surprises: 1) Have not visited ANY mall yet, yes-not even 1u !
