Came back from Switzerland and landed at Penang airport all tired on Sunday 6pm. Finally, the trip from Penang to Singapore to Zurich to Thun to Gunten and then back to Penang is over. Now I must get my act together and prepare myself for a coming exam on 8th June. It's only 2 weeks away. Wish me luck.

Wow... 2 weeks have passed since my 1st blog here. I just finished watching the Thomas Cup semi final match between Denmark and Indonesia. I have done many things in the past 2 weeks of absence here.

I travelled to Melaka, Segamat, Seremban, KL and Genting Highlands by car from Penang for my short excursion break. I like gambling so Genting had to be in the list when I visit KL. It was a wonderful trip. The last time I went to Melaka was like more than 15 years ago. That was a long time ago. Drove up to Genting and put up in Resort Hotel for a night. Won about RM300.00 for one day of gambling....I played the 'bird cage' game.

Just mid of this week, I was planning to go to Switzerland for a 3 day business trip. Supposed to leave tomorrow night (Sat) but the other party will only be available starting next Wed so I had to reschedule my flight. I will be leaving Penang for Zurich on Singapore Airlines transiting in Singapore on Tuesday night (18th May) and will leave Zurich on Sat (22nd May) afternoon. This is my 2nd trip to Switzerland.

I have been using the net for so long now and believe me this is my first blog.

Nickname: kstang (that's what ppl call me in office)
location: penang
profession: sales officer by day, freak by night

Ah yes...finally I am going to have my well earned one week holiday starting 1st may to 9th may. I have taken 4 days off from work to get out of town for awhile - to free my mind of all the stress i had to face at work. I spend most of my time hanging around a large textile manufacturing facility in Penang. I have a great job but sometimes shit happens like any other job in the world and I am trying to live with it...at least for now.

This morning...or should i say yesterday morning i went to bangunan tunku syed putra at downing street to meet with one puan saadah at the miti office on the 8th floor. my appointment was set at 8.30am and i got to her office at approx 5 before half past eight. Had to wait for 15 minutes for her to finish her breakfast before I get to speak to her on my issues concerning form d application for export of textiles to vietnam. Meeting with her was quite brief and so i decided to take a short walk to itd, to get my past year exam paper for strategic info system ...june 2003 to be exact. But no...they were still not open at 9am. those lucky bastards.

So I drove from Weld Quay back to office. Took a slow drive along JE expressway and got into office at half past nine. Read and replied some emails and it was already almost 12.30 when i turned and look at the clock. So I went out for lunch at inderawasih for a quick bite and headed back to office. Had some work done in office. Searched, cut and sent some samples to agents in south america and india and before i know it....it was almost five. Quickly I did try to finish up my monthly report for the big boss before he complain again.... email server was down a couple of times but finally managed to send out the report before I go missing for one week.
