SO MUCH RAGE... 7.50 is a three course meal, the ONE time I order something western with a drink, and it comes to 5 times the cost of my usual local meal. I know it's only 4 pounds for a panini and ice lemon tea, but its 21.50 RINGITT, thats like half my day's pay...

QUESTION (20 Points): Name the main filling in my panini? 10 Points for correct primary filling, 10 points for the vegetable component of the filling.
Since the last blog post a lot has happened, we have moved office twice, once to a University here and now to our new company headquarters.

For those of you who want to know what kind of work I was doing at the university, here is a picture that shows exactly what Ryan and I were up to.
I got very good with this, developed quite a transport route for usb flash disks between our desks.

For those who are genuinely curious, we used the helicopters to practice our robotics programming, so we were automating helicopter flight using our computer, I'll try to attach a video of this sometime in the future.

This was taken on the route from home to work, and it proves any rumours you may have heard of Malaysian driving.

This is my first home cooked meal ever in Malaysia, I have been eating out everyday. I figured it is about time I started cooking for myself. This was about 3 weeks ago, I haven't cooked again since... It is a local dish called Bihun(Bee Hoon) Goreng, which is simply fried bee hoon noodles, with vegetables and chicken, bog standard malaysian meal.








This is our shiny new office where we will continue to play with robots!
This is the lovely view I have out of my office window... I think I might actually prefer it to the city view of KL.
Oh and finally, that is our car, I will try get a video of it in action, if you are lucky, maybe I can capture it while the engine is cutting out, or the brakes give way, hopefully something equally exciting.

Sorry, I've not posted in a while, robotics work has been kicking off and I've been sleeping every spare minute I have these days...

To kick off my blog again, I have a photo of something which really amused me. Please bare in mind that people park illegally EVERYWHERE here in Malaysia, and that road rules really don't exist, so this photo was a really refreshing sight, and I could feel Malaysian justice flowing through me, just at the sight of it.
The owner was not happy at all... I was not the only one to take a photo, people from all over town came to have their photo taken with the car.
