Alvin’s Weblog

Phew, right after the Chinese New Year holidays, I had to shoot off somewhere on a business trip. This time round, it’s to Labuan. Now, some might ask, what is there to do here? Truth be told, nothing. I mean, Labuan is really just a very small island with only 92km square of land mass to spare.

There is of course cheap wine, cheap smoke and cheap flesh, if you get what I mean. Literally everywhere you go, you can see people drinking. Read this, Jaz beer is only RM10 for 7 cans. That’s freaking cheaper than Coke! A carton of Carlsberg is only RM40. 1 litre of Absolut Vodka is only Rm28! A carton of Dunhill cigarettes is only RM52! Winstons are even cheaper at Rm40.

Now, going to flesh, I wouldn’t know how much they cost, since I haven’t really bothered asking, otherwise, I might have to take up their services. I can see caucasians or even locals with girls curling their arms around their arms being nice and all. Forgive me but I don’t think those girls are their other half.

Anyway, for me it’s boring because there is technically nothing much to do here. So all I do everyday is work, eat, sleep and the routine starts all over again the next day. We technically toured the whole of Labuan in 2 days. By that, I mean, we went from East to North, then to the West and the South.

That’s all Labuan has to offer but their beaches are not too shabby. It’s nicer than the ones we get in Kuching. I mean, the beaches are so near that you can literally go to the beach side anytime you feel like just chilling out after  a long day of work, unlike in Kuching.

Anyway, it’s getting late now and it’s time for me to hit the bed. Till then, take care.

OK, I know I have not been blogging for a long, long time again. I think some of my readers might have thought that my blog is long dead. Anyway, I am back again and this time to wish you guys a Happy Chinese New Year 2009 and may the year of the Ox brings you all abundant good luck.

Personally, I am looking forward to this new year to bring drastic changes into my life. Good changes, that is. Good luck ye all and have a good new year. Enjoy your long breaks!

First of all, the internet connection sucks. I have a hard time loading my site. What took 10 seconds previously now takes about a minute. Anyway, 2008 hasn’t exactly been a good year for me but still, I am pretty grateful for what have been bestowed upon me. At least I am still surviving.

Anyway, I would like to wish all my readers a Happy New Year 2009. May all good things come and all bad things go. I am hoping 2009 will bring dramatic changes to my life, in a good way of course.

As I am writing this, people are letting off chai leis every minute or so. It’s a bit irritating but wad the heck right? It’s the new year after all. I am looking forward to Chinese New Year now. Good luck and have a happy year ahead, peeps. Cheers and see ya all.
