Sunday Night/Monday Morning

It is 1:47 am and I can't sleep :-( Is anyone awake? I guess so, as it is Sunday afternoon back in Canada. Parents are taking their kids to soccer games, active people are riding bicycles on the bike pathways in and around Ottawa. Hey, you could even be travelling back from Algonquin park after a weekend of hiking and canoeing.

Here in Malaysia the family takes the car to the mall and shops and eats. I still have not figured what else they do but I know I do not see bicyclists (dangerous to your health), games on the outdoor playing fields (too hot and humid), people walking outside (just me usually and the odd Indonesian illegal worker).

They do like to skate on the ice rink, but that may be because it is in the mall so I am not sure. The malls also have large open areas where they stage entertainment of various kinds (talent shows, fashion shows, car shows, etc.)

I am thinking of going to langkawi this coming weekend as I am going a little stir crazy in my apartment in Subang Jaya. Not this coming weekend, but the following weekend I am visiting John McGrath in Bangkok. That should be fun as I have not seen John for 4 or 5 months and there is lots to get caught up on.

I am also trying to get back to Canada for a couple of weeks in July. I have been working on a new software project and it is time to demo it to the clients to make sure what I am building for them is what they want :-) It all depends on how many holidays I have coming to me.

I am trying to make the time go a little faster here in Malaysia by engaging in travel over the next 3 months.

TTYL,

Jim
