This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

lost in moscow ?? read my back

Once I got the opportunity to visit Moscow for a small database implementation in our newly set up office there. Prior leaving I wasn't quite sure what to expect; may be a run down, old city with traces of of the former communist ideology at every corner? Not at all. I got booked at a huge mega hotel, with three quarter of the floor filled with gambling machines and tables (a super casino). To enter everyone had to be scanned just like in airports. I don't remember. Surprisingly, I saw a number of Malaysian government officers (or could also be politicians) entering the premises. How did I know they are the government guys / politicians ... the little pin badge on the coat lah.. what lah! want to go to Casino hide lah the badge. Some more got malaysian flag on it.

With some free times after office hours and it was hot summer time, I got some opportunities to go around the city. This picture is a special one, of a girl with a map printed on the back of her blouse. Useful? Not sure. Sexy? Certainly :)
