Within seconds you are here. Thanks. We are at Kilometer 10 Titi Gajah near the new Alor Star airport and in term of long distance running I beat you 6 kilos ahead. Yes it is great to be able to find time putting things on the screen. BTW that pic of the coconut trees in the moonlight, is in KK Sabah? I was there on new year and enjoyed the food and the scenery plus the new hotels by the beaches outside KK. Have a wonderful day/ night ahead.KotaStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313216823302842300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368640396189320821.post-71188933029624166202008-10-12T12:47:00.000+08:002008-10-12T12:47:00.000+08:00Hi Kotastar, saya lupa tadi....gosh!

And terima kaseh seribu for your warm thoughts.<BR/>I enjoyed reading your this posting....as I was long time ago involved with projects all over, lari sini sana macham orang gila.<BR/>Chasing planes, staying in hotels more than my own home.....till one day I asked myself, "what the heck am I doing"? Ha ha.<BR/><BR/>This was one night, it was raining heavily, monsoon time about 1am...almost arriving home from Kota Baru in KL....<BR/>Also worked 7/24/360 days....so one day I gave up everything and decided to start a new life here.<BR/>If back in Malaysia I would be tempted to continue, ha ha.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I used to go to Alor Star, stayed at the Merlin very often...and there's a kedai kopi opposite road, a Malay lady selling nasi lemak. <BR/>To this day I will say it was the best nasi lemak I have ever eaten.<BR/><BR/>In the mornings it will be, one glass iced kopi and, "makcik, tolong bagi saya tiga bungkus". Only 50 cents (1980's).....I polish off all three packets too.<BR/>Even brought my, ahemmm girlfriends from Penang to eat that nasi lemak. They love it!<BR/><BR/>Kota Star....glad to see you still active. Me? Saya da sampai batu enam puluh lima, ha ha...so fool around with my computer and try make some loose change on the stock markets here and US.<BR/><BR/>Nasib baik saya suda chabut 6 months ago when US housing market started taking a plunge, kalu tidak, habis cherita, ha ha.<BR/><BR/>You keep well and have a nice day. Bila senang datang buka cherita, ya? Best regards, Lee. Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659078775260068702noreply@blogger.com
