Blogging from Melaka

Yours truly here is in Melaka. Working, mind you, not on some holiday trip sponsored by the company (yeah, you wish). For the rest of my two or three, or even more years of my life, I will be here in this acclaimed Historical City. I wonder how they call it city although some parts of the town doesn't look a bit like a city. Anyway, here I am.

Living in a different city is not a problem to me. I've been living outside my home in Ampang for the last 10 years. So, no problemo. My only concern is the work. We are really independent here. So far, at least. No bosses to maki hamun you everyday, although they can still do that through the phone.

A lot have to be done. A lot have to be bought. Arghh...there goes my money for 'specific' purposes flowing like a river....What to do, the house is empty and it has to be filled. Oh, I forgot
to tell you that me and my colleague the photo man rented this three-bedroom single storey house in Bukit Katil for 300 bucks a month. Damn cheapo! So we decided to be civilised and buy ourselves mattresses, kitchen cabinets and what not. Just to make it 'homely' I guess. The place is just about 10 minutes away from the office. Food? Melaka food is like anywhere you can find in KL lah. Tom Yam and stuff plus the occasional asam pedas, which proves to be famous here in Melaka. I have yet to try that one.

Cycling and running? God knows where I can do that. I have to look around to find THE place.

Oh well, Melaka pun Melaka lah.
