yeay..new apartment!!

hey ppl!!!!







(Damascus Old City: selectively stoning its occupants)









finally i could access my blog properly...i just moved today to a new apartment...that means now i have a kitchen at my disposal..yeay! and for the opening ceremony just now..i made some spaghetti and it was really nice after having to survive with bread and luncheon meat for more than 2 weeks..

and the cannot access blog thingy...i guess the hotel's network was on some government controlled adsl connection..going through some blogs..i found out that the internet connection here in syria is heavily controlled and there is a lot of sites that one cannot access...for example the rantings of a cocker buller about things that doesn't matter in life..

work have been progressing really slow here in syria and for that..the initial projection of 4 mths for this project might take longer than expected...oh well..only time can tell...and oh...so can my commissioning manager actually..hehe..








(Coffee: makes you see things differently)
















going through the lonely planet book for syria..i realized that there is actually a lot of things to see here in syria..lotsa travelling to do then..hehe...okie dokie loyal cocker bullers...catch ya later!!

home sweeet home...almost

hey there loyal cockers bullers..

after being away from home for so long...im finally heading home..i am now in dubai airport waiting for transit back to KL...of course with mixed feelings that is...happy that im finally being able to go home after a seemingly never ending run of 8 mths full with action and adventures...ups and downs....sad because the memories that i have stored in my laptop for this past 8 mths is all lost...nevermind the monetary losses...no amount of money can buy back the memories that i have stored in them hard drive...

all in all in these 8 mths i have managed to cover 5 countries...europe of course being the most exciting of all...the three week stint opened my eyes to lots of things and lots of memories..good and bad..

well enough of that for now...hope i can meet everyone when i get back..so much of friendship that requires rekindling...

if my boss's projection goes as it is..i'll be heading to vietnam in a weeks time for my next project...hopefully i will have more time..but at the moment thats what it is..so much to do so little time...
