back from malaysia!

yosh! am back from a week-long course that was conducted near KL, Malaysia. Course was excellent and although we weren't exactly in KL (ie living in a hostel-like place in the wilderness), after a while i got used to that and looking back, i guess it helped us participants get to know each other better. but it was kinda funny, cos some people weren't expecting this sort of living conditions, so the first night was preetttyy unbearable... esp when some of them are high-ranking people, i suppose? some had ants in the toilet, others could hear the amplified sounds of water flowing down the pipes in their rooms... anyway, on my part the first night i had to deal with a resident cockroach who apparently left behind an heir to haunt me during my last night there XD

our malaysian hosts were great, though! and i liked how the participants interacted amongst ourselves as well as with the experts. at the end of the course, i was almost wishing we had one more week of lessons! ^^; but no... it's back to work, work, work, sigh...

well, there's at least 1 thing to look forward to this week! *beams* yup, don't forget, fellow muckers, to tune in to the live streaming of the 8 Jun live at mucc's yahoo page, 7pm SHARP!

sidenote: Tatsurou's latest blog post on the band's yahoo blog has proven his otaku-ness without a trace of doubt! XD XD XD

tech geek update: latest toy bought at PC show today: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ2. Looked at a number of models but decided on this in the end cos of the Leica wide-angle lens, 10x optical zoom and 3rd generation image stabilizer. excited excited excited... i just hope it delivers what it promises to on paper!!!

mental note for future PC show: do NOT go at the last hour, on the last day... even if there will be more freebies at that time... there were so many people, the BO was excruciating... could NOT breathe at some points o_O;
