Seconds from Desaster...

You see the car behind him? He didn't...

Adopt a pet!

Nicole dashes out of the house at 8:30 this morning, telling me she is looking for an abandoned Rottweiler in Bangsar (part of KL). Turns out that some %^*### has bought a dog he could not handle and left him tied to a lamp-post. So she goes, drags the scared doggie into the car and deposits him in a friends place. A post on a blog (power of internet) resulted in a call from a dog lover that came and adopted this lovely pet. The picture above is one of six ads we (Launchpad) have donated to SPCA - www.spca.org.my

Ueber den Daechern der Stadt

Dieses Bild habe ich heute morgen um 8:40 aufgenommen. Ich stehe auf der Aussichtsplatform / Dachterasse des PNB Darby Park. Mittich im Hintergrund steht der "Menara KL". Die Fernsehantenne Malayisens.

Observations on Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day. Big thing in Asia.
So we head out to a restaurant, run by a classmate of Nicole's. Great thing about the restaurant is that you can bring your dog. Not to eat!!! As accepted part of the family...

Anyway,... It is "Couples Only" night and here is how they look:
She: Absolutely gorgeous, best clothes, new handbag, make up, happy, smiling.
He: Annoyed, sneakers, the oldest T-Shirt in the closet, Jeans and frustration all over his face

Down south this week

This week I will be in Singapore for a business trip.
At the same time I am tasked to bring home some Conditioner, stuff we cannot get here in KL.

Finally I am taking on Floyd to see who is fitter when it comes to running.
We are on for a sprint along the Eastcoast Parkway.

Up north for the weekend

This Year, Chinese New Year comes early. It is the year of the Ox, which is me.
We are leaving KL on Friday morning 3:30 am to head up north, trying to avoid the traffic. 10 million people working in the south will go north and another 10 million from the north will head south.

Since there is hardly any traffic, jogging is the flavour of the weekend. I am planning to put in some 100 KM over the 5 days there.

Numa - Numa YEEEAAAH

Endless surfing on the internet finally got me this one:

The author of this video has done an outstanding job.
I loooove the penguin knocking over the other one at about 1:26 min.

This is what I call evolutionary improvement of an already awesome song.
Someone has put an huge amount of effort into this. Watch it full. Starts strange, but gets better all along.
Kamlesh..?
