PROFIT!!!

I am an awful, awful person for putting this up at work, and nobody will ever understand my clearly visionary sense of humor.

So today in a lucky draw I won a two nights' stay in a beachview room at the beautiful Shangri-La Tanjung Aru resort in, um, Kota Kinabalu. Two nights free. With breakfast. And you're spending it with Amirul B Ruslan. What could go wrong?

Oh, one minor glitch might be that I have the hotel stay, but not the air tickets! Those sneaky Shangri-La folks, secretly adding complications for me in what would have been a troublefree romantic trip for two!

On another note, I have absolutely nobody on the top of my head to take. Candidates may now officially nominate themselves beginning... now.

I feel tough! I've just completed three articles in the span of an hour. I think I shall do the same tomorrow. It is Thursday, August 13th 2009, and it is 2:34AM. I feel overworked, overstretched, and overstressed.

I think what I need is a vacation.

So I think I'll have one. Young Gordo(n) Smith:

is spending a week in KL where he's working at TELL! He's also staying at this most gorgeous place, a place a couple of minutes from Masjid Jamek called BackHome KL, and I went there to check it out (under the pretense of a story - which there is, really, brah!) and I fell in love instantly.

It's a two floor place that has like an open-air courtyard thingy. I realize I'm being a little too concise here with my descriptions, but the ground floor has some rooms, and the first floor also has some rooms. Actually, the first floor is just made of rooms (there is a bathroom annexe building that is connected by a gorgeous bridge), too. I took some photos in between bouts of me going, "BAM, I THINK I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE!" This time, it was a lodge. It's easily as nice - if not nicer - as Singgahsana in Kuching, my favorite place in the universe.

The beds are for only RM35 a night! Against quite possibly my better judgment I made the call to reserve two nights there, starting from tomorrow. God knows I need the rest.

Fruity Passions: Not Passionfruits

I've spent the last hour trying to dispossess the established Malaysian leading kiwifruit journalists with my indepth research into the kiwifruit sector. I did not, however, realize what sort of passionate outbursts that small fuzzy brown fruit could inspire.

Kiwifruit passions

Curse you, Italy, for stealing New Zealand's national product. Tasha Beg is not impressed.

In the minimized chat window to the left, the delightful-as-ever Justin André Privé tells me about some punk band during 'the good old days', and somehow that conversation has shifted into the nostalgic joys of preteenage masturbation.

No wonder I never get any work done around here with you folks harassing me like this and providing me with illicit workplace giggles. You fruity folks.

Came to work today after missing a day for being ill (had an infection in my throat or something - can't swallow for crap) and found this little gem. Someone's clearly out to cheer me up!
