| Introduction | I'm a bayou-born Cajun from Cut Off, Louisiana. I've been in Singapore and Malaysia since 1989. A 2 year move just kind of dragged on. Though I love nasi-lemak, it's still not as good as jambalaya (Here's my gumbo recipe). I love reading & writing. Problem with my reading is I don’t remember things too well. I’ve got multiple copies of books. It’s a costly problem. I like to walk too. I hate driving unless I’m the only one on the road. Driving in Kuala Lumpur is too much like playing Grand Theft Auto and I don’t like video games… not that walking is any less intense unless I’m walking in the jungle which is calming but I can’t buy milk or bread in the jungle. I'm a landscape architect working at WDI Design Sdn Bhd. I’m paid to tell people where to plant trees so that I can read more books. My sign is Cynic not Virgo. The charts are wrong… I should know. |
