Happy mid-semester break to all you uni boys and girls enjoying your first day of *ahem* extended sleep! It's been a flurry of activities and i'm still stuck at work at this particular moment in time.

To Darren: so sorry you got screwed by the advert... waitamicrofishinminute.... you've got no choice so, fly FAX, they're great, they're the only thing you're ever gonna have.

Having a meeting in Limbang from the 9th - 12th of March, i decided to NOT BE ME and book my.. our flights early. The damage to my bank account are as follows:

Kuching - Miri - Kuching (by AirAsia) RM 335.52 (2 adults and 1 miniature typhoon David)

Miri - Limbang - Miri (by FAX) RM 135.52 (2 adults and 1 miniature typhoon David)

Both amounts quoted are inclusive of all the s**t they charge us with (taxes, fuel surcharge, etc.). I've also managed to book my Kuching - Penang - Kuching (by AirAsia) for RM 249.98 (solo).
Ecstatically, (i had to rub my tired, disbelieving eyes) i clicked the "YES! AM I STUPID OR WHAT!?!" button quickly before any other lucky sod could snatch the seat away from me.

Aside from all the other internet related stuff that we've been following, i found this great piece of news as i was browsing the Star Online site. It's about 52 years old Lim Oh Pah who blew the whistle on his pig farming colleagues using beta-agonists to make their pokers bigger, fatter and grunt-ier (?). He's been boycotted by the pig farming and selling community - they don't want to sell his products anymore- and had to go into 'direct sales' himself. Proved a point that when you cut out the middle-men, you get better profit margins. Well done to Mr. Lim who doesn't use all that artificial crap on his piggies.

It stopped raining for nearly a week but it started pouring this morning! Let's start thinking about saving water for the dry spell ahead... rain today, draught tomorrow.

Have a great weekend!

Welcome to the ripped-off club, dear cuz. Though I'm yet to be part of you poor souls. Sooner or later I will...when I need to travel by air. Yikes! And welcome to the beloking scene (blogging), if there's such a scene. See you soon.
