System Upgrade @ Penang

So, after arriving in Penang last night, we started work today. If it wasn't for the jam at the Penang Bridge yesterday, we could have off-loaded all the equipment at our customer's Office and I would have slept better instead of worrying about car break-ins.

Anyway, the job is to upgrade the system to increase its capacity (and more phones). Unfortunately, halfway through the task, the cable guys who cut off the Credit Card lines forgot one tiny fact that no one knows which numbers are for the credit cards. This would mean we have to stay another night in Penang so that the girl (one of the staff who did not answer her modile phone) can help us out on Tuesday morning. Haih.

One more night in Penang.
One more night

Me: What is this? Look slike potatoes
MM: Its Sotong (bla bla bla) eggs
Me: Oh, Uh, OK I'll take this vege instead
MM: OK, I give you extra sauce (ladle all the sauce from every dish)
Me: ........... :-O

Our dinner, courtesy of the Customer
Very hot, spicy, sweet and well, curry-ish at the same time

Happy New Year!

OK, so I was a bit late in reaching Penang today as I woke up with a stupid neck sprain and a slight food poisoning. Suffice to say, I could not stand and everything was spinning like crazy.
By the time I got to Penang, it was almost five in the evening.


There was a heavy jam at the Penang Bridge entrance
We found out it was due to a fender bender up ahead


Happy New Year!
There was a small firework in front of our window














By the time I got everything focused, it was all over


Lots of ppl below and a nice heavy jam as well

And how did I managed to blog?
Cititel has a prepaid card for Boradband access
RM8 for 1 hour, RM15 for 3 hours and RM20 for 24 hours


Woo! Lookit the speed! Its fast!!!


A second opinion, I am now confused whether its still fast or just so-so


And on the New Year's Eve, Loctor Mayat and I had a wonderful BBQ+Steamboat dinner. Another AutoWorld Forummer, nick900 joined us briefly. Unfortunately, we had to pay for him as well although he did not stay for any food. (Should have hidden the his cup of water. He he he he he)
