Quick note: This is the 5th post today. I think this is the most number of posts I've ever posted in a day before. By the way, other than these 5 posts, there's no new ones since February.
In a testament to my busyness with work, church, getting my place cleaned up and settling down, I have not been able to do much online. If Intel did not allow windows messenger, I would not have been online for 3 weeks. All my emails have new mails in them whenever I check. (Considering I have 2 that usually don't have email for weeks) The 2 which have emails nearly everyday always show 20+ new mails when I log in. I have not visited the Low Yat forum except to see pictures faster. And of course, I haven't blog in 2 months now (but that's not a record sadly enough).
Also, I have not been able to do any exercise/sport since I got here, I drove my car down to KL for the 1st time 2 weeks ago and before that trip, my last time down was mid March. Actually, it's kinda weird how whenever I start doing something after a long time, people only comment on it once I've done it more frequently. Hmm...

Latest update.
Ok people, I know you've suffered but bear with me for a little while longer.
I've moved to Springfield condo just before CNY, have gotten all necessary appliances and conveniences in the apartment, getting busier but growing more in work plus being more active in church. There's still some way to go before I would consider being settled down in Penang yet though.
Due to a couple of friends who came up to Penang, I now know more places to eat and places to go to. Also, more familiar with roads around Georgetown now. Give me 6 more months and I'll know Penang roads better than KL and PJ roads, heh. Quite settled with working life in Intel and my aparment is comfortable enough. Only thing left to do is to pack up the kitchen, unblock the bathroom, get a cleaner and newspaper delivery, buy a gas tank and I'll be all set for Penang. Phew!

Thank you visitors!
Here is a quick thank you shout out to all those who still visited my site though there was nothing new for 2 months. Your visits have spurred me on to post more frequently and habitually.
More updates, working life is very stressful. There's always some case to do or issue to tackle. The cliche to enjoy student life because it's the best time of your life is certainly true. You have more free time then too. Though there's no need to work outside 9 to 5 (in most cases), chances are you've spent so much time and energy at work, home is really more a place to relax and unwind. Let's put it this way, in the 7 months I've been here, I have not yet been able to be more active in outside activities. Also, I have not been able to properly clean up my apartment due to using weekends to recuperate from a hard week's work.

1st post using my own streamyx.
Well, 2nd post actually but the first doesn't count coz that's a roll up. Anyways, just to mark the occasion when I finally post something from my room in Penang!!! Wooohooo!!
Speaking about streamyx, actually TMNet was not very efficient. First of all, it took them more than a week to process our application. The best thing about the whole issue was... by the time we got back to them a week later, they still haven't done anything about it!
And then, when we finally got the internet (we decided to set it up ourselves), the internet stop working after 5 days! For reasons unknown to all except TMNet, we could not surf. It would not have been such an issue if we didn't have to bring our modem+router (we didn't buy TMNet's modem) back to the shop just for them to confirm that it's TMNet's problem. Sheesh...
On the plus side, the TM Point we went to at Krystal Point was quite empty so service was relatively fast and there was no problem at the counter. Also, their hotline works till very late and can usually reach them (though they have a separate number for technical support, go figure). Here's hoping to trouble free internet for the rest of my time here.

Quick update
Whooaaa.... 10 weeks since I last posted. Means I owe 10 posts up till now.
Alright, quick update on what's been going on since the end of February. I have bought a washing machine, water filter and subscribe to streamyx. Actually, it's due to streamyx that I've not blog for so long. Gave up going to cyber cafes to blog once I started applying for it. And after I got it, got busy in the office plus couldn't get back the blogging habit. But, that's all gonna change now!
So look out as I post more and more often (especially to catch up with the 10 posts!)
