Star Wars Collection
I recently started my Star Wars action figure collection after postponing it for so long. The desire to do it started when I was about 12 years old after my auntie took me to the Star Wars movie though she is no Sci-Fi fan but rather Hindustani. Due to financial reasons, that desire subsided but a small flame survived.
I managed to collect a few though, like AT-AT driver, Luke Skywalker, Biker Scout and another figurine (which I can't recall the name). Now I focus my Star Wars action figure collection on the Republic Army but only the standard ones. I have yet to decide whether to widen my collection scope to include other specific figurines in the Republic Army circle. Here are the ones in my collection.

A birthday gift
My wife gave me a birthday gift, a watch that she posted on her blog the other day. I saw the watch on her blog and now it is on my wrist. Alhamdulillah. I never dreamed of wearing an expensive (in my standard) watch. It came as a surprise as she had planned it discreetly. Thank you sayang and thanks to my kids too. I really love it.

Training in Sarawak
All trainers had to go to Kuching, Sarawak to train users on a new system to be implemented in August 2008. It was a 2-day training programme. We departed from the office at 6 pm (12 June, Thursday), flight from KLIA at 8.50 pm. Arrived at the Kuching airport around 10.45 pm and checked in into the Hilton hotel at 11.30 pm. This was my second visit to Kuching and not much has changed since my last trip, meaning I can still use whatever knowledge/info/whereabouts of this place I had to help me out in this trip. The next day was Friday the 13th. On the contrary to the popular belief, the training went smoothly in fact better than expected as all the future users of the new system, cooperated wonderfully. It was so smooth that we had the evening to ourselves. We took a stroll to the
museum of ethnology, the warrior monument (pardon me for missing the proper name for it), the cultural village and towards the famous Sarawak river.
At night, this riverside is comes alive with entertainment from the rows of cafes, local handicrafts on sale including the famous 'gambir' sarawak, tourists and onlookers.
We had dinner across the river at one Barok restaurant. It took about 5 minutes to cross the river by boat with 40 sen fare per head. The fare is RM 1 per head after 11 pm. We had dinner at this kampung-like restaurant. Splendid food.
