Of remote work, idiot drivers, and great landings

It has been quite a while since my last update - lack of time, and (more correctly) lack of inclination!

I am, even as I type this, in Singapore - as I have been given the opportunity to travel to and from SG with Husband on his trips, as long as I dont have any meetings in KL to attend with any clients. Isn't that just amazing? It is true that I can do my job from anywhere, as long as I have an Internet connection, but to actually be given that choice by my boss is great! So now I can come to SG with Husband, and work from here, and then when he goes back to KL I go back with him. I am a very lucky person! So I am in SG this week - arrived last night (flew in, as I had meetings to attend, and could only come down after the meetings, whereas Husband drove to SG yesterday morning), and will be returning to KL with Husband on Thursday afternoon, will be spending Friday in Penang for meetings, and then Sat to Mon we will be at Langkawi :-).

Now, about IDIOT DRIVERS - last week, driving to Berjaya Times Square, I went into the back car park which is on the upper floors. On TWO separate floors, I am driving IN, and I come across TWO MAJOR IDIOTIC YOUNG (happened to be Chinese) DRIVERS, who are GOING OUT via the IN!!! AND, to add insult to injury, they are smiling away at me, as if the whole thing is a big joke. If I had been going any faster, I would have slammed my car head first into theirs. And, of course, this is NOT the first time I have personally encountered people doing stupid things without thought. I mean, what does it take to make IDIOTS like this realise that THEY ARE ASKING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN? When do they stop doing these stupid things - after they cause an accident where people are hurt or killed, or after THEY die in an accident which they cause? Why are they so stupid? Don't they THINK about the consequences of what they are doing? Obviously not - as I keep telling my Husband, obviously all these idiots (I include idiotic Indian, Malay, Chinese, Others AND expat drivers in this list) have so little respect for their own lives, why would they have any respect for any other life?

A better topic - great landings. I know there will always be people out there who have a lot of negative things to say about our lovely national airlines (MAS). However, I am not talking about the experience at the airport per se (I know there are problems happening at this time), but I am talking about the experience once one is actually on the plane. In the last 10 years of flying almost exclusively on MAS (my preferred choice) I have to say that I have always had excellent experiences with the cabin crew and, almost without exception, the landings have been SMOOTH (the few times I flew SIA during the last 10 years, the landings have been almost uniformly BUMPY, and the cabin crew experience generally mediocre). So, kudos to the cabin crew, and kudos to the pilots!!!

Enough for this week.... have a great life everyone.
