| Introduction | Born, bred in the north of England (Grimsby), venturing out only briefly for a couple of weeks a year, to the usual cluster of spanish holiday resorts. That changed in 2003, when I was sent on a 6 month secondment to Malaysia and, you guessed it, I've been there ever since (quite some culture change, believe me!). Rather than living the usual expat life in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, I live in a small town, in the South of the country, called Kluang (Malay for fruit bat, apparently), with a local population of around 200,000 and an expat poulation of 4! On the upside, this has given me a privelaged opportunity to get to know the true Malaysia and it's people (as you can see below!) Have a passion for photography and diving (which is were I found my other passion, my wife, who is local Chinese) and most importantly in this country, food, which almost everything seems to revolve around. |
| Interests | In no particular order...photography, scuba diving, food, squash, running, music, any gadget that doesn't make my like any easier but looks cool as hell. |
| Favorite movies | The Abyss, Leon, anything by Quentin Tarantino, Lock Stock...., Wierd Science, Goodfellas, Godfather I-III, most Serge Leone movies, old Laurel & Hardy movies, Collateral, Matrix, It's a Wonderful Life, One Flew over The Cuckoos Nest, Bladerunner, Training Day, The Deer Hunter, American Werewolf In London, Apocolypse Now, Se7en, Life Of Brian, Alien, Cool Hand Luke, Groundhog Day |
| Favorite music | Too many to mention all...anything from blues to gangster rap (no country though, thank you!). Some notables..., Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rory Gallagher, Walter Trout, Satriani, Robin Trower, Pink Floyd, Paul Weller, The Jam, Wu Tang Clan, Oasis, Stone Roses, Coldplay, Jimi Hendrix, Leftfield, Air, Beatles, Sex Pistols, the Specials, De La Soul |
