I leave Kuala Lumpur in about 5 days, for me that is. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone but I am nervous how I will feel once I am home. Been away for so long it seems that I am afraid I will not like where I will be. The feeling of needing to pack and leave again I think might come up. So many things are passing through my head. Tomorrow night, a bunch of us will make one last nite out, to get proper drunk. So all the other nites we were drunk, it wasn’t proper? ha. ok inside joke here. Anywho’s, meet so many wonderful people here. It’ll be sad to leave them all and go back to my pointless existence. Well hey, that’s how I feel.
If you would like to see what my morning commute was like to work, here is a small part of it. (home one, I’m working on it.)
I wish I had more time here, I would like to have gone to Bali and Thailand. Loads of awesome beaches here. And I didn’t get to go to not one of them. And Albany doesn’t have ocean beaches. Albany sucks honestly. Boring boring city. Compare to all the awesome places I have been too these past 6 months!
My 4th wonder of the world I have seen! I hope to only see many more while I am still young enough to climb and take the travel.
First off
Me at the great wall
It was very cold and windy. I did hike up most of it. Very steep. If it was wet, it would have been slippy. I did see the Ming Tombs, The Forbidden City, Jade Factory etc. You can view the first 100 photos as a slide show here
In a few days I’ll be flying to Beijing for a mini holiday. Taking 5 days to look at this very old city with a dear friend. It’s for her birhtday. I’ll take loads of photos.
Looks like my time here in Malaysia is shorten by many many months. Anything can happen in the next few weeks but I think I’ll be returning home for good on the 21st of December. The tax issues will be fun to sort out!
I haven’t been able to update much lately because I have no internet yet at my new place. So I am squeezing this in. I’m going to Beijing, China on the 29th of November till the 3rd of December. I am meeting a dear friend there. I just applied for my visa today, and I pick it up on Monday I will edit this post to share that experince!
Good news not only for myself for the whole world. I am excited and very thrilled that Mr. B. Obama is our next president. I look forward to seeing what things he will do for only us as American citizens but for the world. It was the second piece of good news for me today, first was I was approved to penertated a 1500mm diameter hole through a sheer wall! For those that don’t understand what that means, trust me, it’s makes things easier for me! Tonight me and some fellow Americans will be celebrating. Eat some yummy food and have some good laughs and discuss our hopes in Mr. Obama. For a man who’s grandmother just past, I am sure she is very proud of him.
Here is something that I just received, another great piece of news! Historic Victory for Farm Animals; Prop 2 Passes in California Congratulations to animal protection advocates throughout the country for getting the word and the vote out for farm animals! In a historic victory, California voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 2, a landmark measure that bans three of the cruelest factory farming confinement systems battery cages, veal crates and gestation crates — in the state by 2015. By a vote of more than 60 percent Californians sent a clear message to big agribusiness that
cruelty to animals is unacceptable. For further information on this please visit this link!!!!
Today, I move into my apartment. I’ll drop off my luggage first then off to IKEA. I do need to buy some towels, sheets n things. I do have a washing/dryer units there! Then I will need to buy some cleaning supplies and food! I’ll be making a grilled cheese first I do have satallite TV. It’s included in the rent. I’m getting the internet set up. I do not have a choice of cable here. So I have to have a phone line. Kinda odd to have to set up an apartment when I have one back home. So I suppose for the next 7 months. I’ll have two homes. At least the one here I do not have to pay for! Since I work so much, I don’t spend that much money. Once it’s completely set up, I’ll take some photos and post them.

I move into my apartment this weekend. I can give you the address upon request. Incase you want to mail me something nice I need to go shopping for the place. Some sheets and towels. It’s fully furnished, but just things like that are needed. I have what’s called a 1+1. It’s a master bedroom (queen size bed) and a half bedroom; there is a twin size bed in there. So people can visit! Anyone? Two baths as well. Kitchen, washer and dryer, dining area and living room. Included in my rent is satellite TV. I’ll be hooking up the internet this week. So hopefully it’ll be ready when I move in. There is a pool too Gym of course, and a dance studio! ha! I’ll be checking out the area for a Pilate’s class. I wish to trim down my handles. Even those, since I left the states back in July. I have lost 10 pounds. Due to diet change. I haven’t excised much; it’s just complete change of diet. German food is VERY good.
