'Imagine. Create. Execute.' Rough notes on technology, media, travel, business, work, and my other interests.
As I bid adieu to 2025, annus horribilis, I wish to welcome 2026, Annus Mirabilis. What changed from Hello 2025? Fell in love with Pumpkin, Vanessa s dog. I only did 41 days of travel, 7 trips, 13 cities and 36,049 miles. This was basically covid 2020 ;) Ushered it in Kuala Lumpur 2025 and 2026. [ ]
I write, but just not here. Client sites, X, etc. so there is chronicling, but just not on the blog. What changed from Hello 2024? I got married. I moved into the flat. Companies have gone up and down, like life. 170 days on the road, 308,832km travelled, 38 cities, and 16 countries. I have never [ ]
At this rate, there is no real blogging here, regardless of the lofty plans to starting writing more. Stats update from Hello 2023: 219 days on the road (less than 2022! -37, over a month, shocking), 376,961km travelled, 44 cities, 17 countries. Can’t say why it was less, because it felt like I spent a long [ ]
I have long said Long Malaysians, Short Malaysia in conversation to many. Maybe it took me a while to tweet it, but this was the first example: Dec 29, 2021. I ve tweeted it a lot more since. Malaysia has a 10th Prime Minister, but in general, it is a very precarious partnership. Consider it, same [ ]
I did poorly blogging last year. Oops. I think to myself when I read, This Thing Still On?, I really have to do better in 2023. Maybe the catalyst is the fact that Twitter is becoming a shit show. I doubt people will leave the platform in droves, per se, but I think we are [ ]
Yes, the blog is still on. January 2004 I moved to WordPress, and it is still here January 2022. I didn t write much last year (neither here, not experimenting with the Hey blog). I didn t post anything to Instagram last year either from what I can tell, just a lot of stories. August 16 2021, [ ]
These lack of updates are also likely because I ve been quite caught up with stuff. Monday I had a steak from Bay Leaf Steakhouse for dinner. It was kind of weird eating it from packs, but then I m reminded you could do this in economy class. Tuesday I wanted to attempt to go vegetarian and [ ]
What an unplanned day. I woke up in time to do an MD workout, despite feeling a little sore. So maybe I was about 10 minutes late and I missed the first set, but his workouts are so long, and I think there were seven sets anyway. Had a good brunch shortly thereafter. Did a [ ]
Today is the first day that in the state of Pahang, we have to encounter what many Malaysians are referring to as the Movement Control Order 2.0 (MCO 2.0). I think everyone finally agrees with the terminology that this is a lockdown now, because I remember back in the day when I was calling it [ ]
Another year comes to a close, and this is the 4th year running I m in Kuala Lumpur 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020… Wow. Maybe the biggest difference is that I ve been in Malaysia for 306 days, thanks to the novel coronavirus. I have never spent this much time in Malaysia, in my entire life… [ ]
