Hiya doin People!
I know i have not kept my word, ok i am a lazy b@stard i agree. i have not written a single word since may 6 on the blog but i have to say i was working hard on finding a job!
its exactly 2 months later and i am very close to signing a contract, most of you already know where so i just wont say it :)
well what has been going on in the past 60 days? for once i have had two stories, back to back published on the front page of the national, u can check em dated 23rd and 24th of june.
Since then i had a few failed projects, eh eh eh trying to set up a comedy show amongst other things.
But today i am writing to yall from the beautiful south east asian country of Malaysia!
i have been here ten days now and will stay here for some time until my work papers are finalised.
My time in malaysia has been amazing due to the help of my good friend Sanjay Sathyan's brother Praadhip.
i arrived in Kuala Lumpur on the 25th of june, the eve of my birthday and it has been a roller coaster ride since. Partying like rock stars and doing the do!
Malaysia is a really interesting country and specially Kuala Lumpur or KL as the locals call it.
Its a country of a unique ethnic mix, the Malays, Chinese and Indians are the three blocks of the ethnic pot here.
The Malays represent the Muslim ideals of the country while the chinese represent the street market and production power and the indians represent the capitalistic power of this country.
sitting here writing at the Starbucks in Petaling Jaya i can see around me on every table Malay chinese and indians sitting together and laughing or chatting about every thing from the current riots in china to the iranian election results. We say Dubai is a melting pot but honestly, thats bull crap!
Bieng black my self i usually face discrimination in one way or another in different countries around the world, here i have not encountered it once. people are chilled, non expectant and laid back.
only down side to the country is...... ...... ......... still trying to find onme for now!
Honestly i would advice people in Dubai to consider KL as a great quick 4 day holiday destination.
You can come and stay at a six star hotel for only 500 dhs a night! i am staying at a governemtn owned hotel which is really nice and has big rooms with great service for only 112dhs a night, tell me where can you get a price like that any where in the gulf!
The nighlife here is amazing, stuff is so cheap u can spend 300 dhs and be the king of the bongo in KL, and thats going royal.
check out the flight offers in the malaysia arlines website and im sure you can find bargains.
In any case, will post some thing soon, but dont hold your breath!
