Hello from Malaysia

Maybe I missed it in another thread, but what brings you there?

I think I posted in the thread that was called something like what's your day job ... Or something like that.

I am a business analyst and right now I am part of a 6 man team implementing oracle software suite for our companies in Asia.

Cool! Please post pics from top of the towers !

I will if we can get up there. I don't think they are open all day? My buddy was saying something like that but I forgot the details on it. I will post whatever pics I do get to take from when we get there though.

Looks cool. I envy your abroad-ness. But don't get in trouble over there...I hear their prisons are less than hospitable...and they expect you to stay for a long time for minor offenses...after you're caned. So lay off the booze, dude. :unsure::D

Oh yes prisons here would be absolute nightmares for an American. They don't exactly hate us but they don't exactly like us either. It is a predominately Muslim country. They do have some interesting laws and really favor the death penalty here so don't worry I will stick with my sprite and live to see another day.

If you have the time, look into how the woodworkers there do their work, maybe even pick up an unusual tool! Eric's correct, be careful of the drinking!

Yes. I have been looking into this but so far no luck with anywhere I can get to for some tools or some woodworking. I will keep digging though and hopefully on one of these trips be able to grab something traditional from here.

Enjoy these places.. Many will never see them!

You are right. I got lucky with my dream job and am very blessed to be able to do this ... Especially for free (company dime)

Some more pictures from the day at the Petronis towers. They are only open for tours in the mornings and so we missed that. We are planning to eat at the 57th story restaurant sometime this week that over looks the tower so that should be pretty awesome. There is a really awesome picture of the towers where you can stand and get them in the background. I need to get that from my coworker today and post it too. It came out really neat!

I heard that area is prone to flooding on occasion. I think the article said the towers made it worse for an adjacent section of town.

Hmm I am not sure. I will ask our business user tomorrow about and see what she has to say.

Awesome pics BW!

Thanks!

Sitting outside for breakfast this morning. It's actually somewhat nice and cool with a breeze and low humidity in the mornings. Then about 11ish that all changes.

BW, if I recall from past posts, y'all, if married, boarded up the house and headed east for several months? Have a darn safe trip, and enjoy! And it looks like so far, you are!

Well I am married but did not board up the house and head east. As much fun as I would have in Asia and love every minute of it ... The wife would not sadly.

Thanks and so far it has been a blast.

I finally got some pics from my coworker as well.

Their take on cheese fries. Looks like a mess but actually kinda good. Just super rich though so you can't eat much of it.

Hmmmm, Don't see much work getting done, but it does look like it's summer time there so I wouldn't concentrate on it much either!

The peppers on the cheese fries look like jalapeños, are they hotter than ours?

Haha we only work on weekdays. Weekends we let loose and relax.

Yes they are jalapeños. Nope they are about the same hotness.

No option for a pillow warmer ?

Ya I know. We are slumming it

So our warehouse was interesting today.
