I wish I have Hiro's power

It seems like the traffic in KL is getting worse. Its been a while since I had to drive to KL in the morning rush hour, and last wed it took me one one and a half hours to get to KLCC. Even on weekends and recent example on chinese new year, there were just so many people everywhere, dunno where they come from. KL-Seremban highway is just horrible..... the crawl now starts from bukit jalil exit.... I wonder if the SMART tunnel will be able to make any difference.

We had our annual zone 3 asiapac meeting in KL convention centre last wed. It is quite a remarkable occasion, with all staffs required to attend and most of the leadership team flying from all around the world to share the results of the last financial year. Our meeting is different from other companies I think, because the meeting itself is morelike a side show. Most of the day is spent doing all sorts of activities with pre-determined teams, and it usually leads up to the prize giving to the team that scored most points.

Yeah it is a bit weird cause its not really a meeting actually, more like a team building event of some sorts. Nevertheless I quite like it, any free food or time away from office is good. My favourite activity for this years meeting was the rock climbing race. They constructed a rock climbing wall in the KL convention centre, and that itself was quite awsome. I have never thought that I would like rock climbing, and it has also proven that all that time in the gym has at least produced some measurable result......

This month is going to be a hectic month. Im flying off to hometown Kuching next thurs, just in time to see my new-born nephew. Its just scary how time is beyond our control, and now my parents are grandparents, couldn't imagine them doing stuff that grandparents do. The week after Ill be off to London for a few days, alone, and the thought of that brings chills to my bone. There will be a lot of public speaking to do in front of big bosses at the BAT world hq, and I have no idea how will I get through that. There is no other better time to apply Nike's motto, JUST DO IT. Then the week after that I plan to go to Taman Negara.... really hopeful that that will happen.
