in a couple of days, i'll be heading towards my new destination. it's kinda mixed feelings. leaving family, friends and colleagues behind to a new, wild territory. my emotions are playing tricks on me...

dang, USD went up... so high. sigh... and i haven't changed a single dollar. hopefully the US government will kick in its reserves and Arab will output more oil these few days to lower the USD. Then i can change more.

have been meeting up with many family and friends. i'm sorry to have to turn some down and skip some. my schedule is too tight. so are my pants. my spare tyre is showing, due to too-good local delicacies.

i hope i'd be able to adapt to the culture and weather there. well, it's what i've always hoped for.
