Lame

I couldn’t verify the source myself, but thanks to reader kk for sending this in.

“My buddy in Shanghai recently sent me this poster he found at a posh Mexican restaurant/bar which I thought is really hilarious and a classic example of bad translation done by mainland cina. And I thought if the prostitutes can read the england, they won’t be prostituting liao leh as China is so in need of england speaking ppl. Anyway, hope you have a good laugh.
Cheers!

Man. I just got back from the Rainforest Music Festival and I am so totally spent. I shall leave the update till tomorrow. In the meantime, here’s my lame joke attempt for the day.
Do you like this building name?

Well. If you don’t like it, Fook Off.

Getting Back Into The Routine

… And he’s the proud owner of this T-shirt.

I finally arrived home safely after what can only be described as my most memorable trip to Singapore and KL. To say I’m dog tired is an understatement. All I need right now is my bed.

Normal blogging resumes tomorrow.<br /> I am privileged to be chosen as one of the finalists in the <em><strong><a href="http://www.petalingstreet.org/vote2005.html">PPS Blog Awards 2005</a></strong></em>, organised by the Malaysian blog portal <em>Project Petaling Street (PPS)</em>. Most people probably don&#8217;t care about this but it is quite a big thing to me. This award is unique because it is one that is organised by Malaysian bloggers, voted by Malaysian bloggers, for Malaysian bloggers.<br /> There three award categories are : <em>Blog of the Year (BOTY), Ping of the Year (POTY)</em> (aka Best Blog Entry) and <em>Neophyte Blog of the Year (NOTY)</em> (aka b3sT n00b b|0GG3rz!)<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="pps" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050616-1.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">I hope the winner gets some trophy like this.<br /> I am honoured to be in the running for the <em>Ping of the Year</em> award together with such worthy contendors as <a href="http://www.jeffooi.com/">Jeff Ooi</a> and <a href="http://www.petertan.com">Peter Tan</a>. *pauses for applause* I am also up for the prestigious <em>Blog of the Year</em> award alongside well-respected Malaysian bloggers such as <a href="http://www.brandmalaysia.com">Mack Zulkifli</a> and <a href="http://viewtru.blogspot.com">Viewtru</a> *pauses for another round of applause*<br /> There&#8217;s one day left till voting closes. If you&#8217;re a eligible, I urge that you cast your vote. You don&#8217;t have to vote for <strong>me</strong>, vote for the <strong>meaning behind it</strong>. In saying that, no matter who emerges as the winner, do remember than in our hearts&#8230; we are already winners.<br /> May the best man wins. *wipes tears*<br /> <strong style="font-size: xx-large;">:&#8217;)</strong><br /> AAAAHHHHHHHH Screw this diplomatic bullshit! Cannot tahan trying to act Mr Nice Guy already. Too boring!<br /> That&#8217;s the problem with us finalists. We are all too nice to each other. No one is writing anything passionate about this contest I&#8217;m starting to think we finalists probably forgotten all about the awards. What we need here is a little bit of <em>pretend rivalry</em> to spice up the awards. Which is what I&#8217;ll do.<br /> I&#8217;m unable to contain my excitement. Its <strong>true </strong>that I respect the other bloggers in the running for this award, and its <strong>true </strong>that I probably don&#8217;t deserve to win. But I cannot hide the fact that <strong>I want to win the PPS Blog Awards</strong>. There&#8217;s free T-shirt and free 1-year webhosting for the winner. And I want them. I want to win. Who doesn&#8217;t?<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="20050616-3.jpg" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050616-3.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">The prized T-shirt, as modelled by PPS Administrator <a href="http://www.aizuddindanian.com">Aizuddin Danian</a> on the catwalks of Milan last summer.</p> <p>The behind-the-scenes gossip at the PPS Blog Awards is already sensational on its own.<br /> Initially I was leading the nominations for both NOTY and POTY, narrowly losing out the BOTY finalist spot. Jeff Ooi&#8217;s BOTY finalist spot was a certainty and looking at the number of nominations, many predicted that I would win NOTY and Jeff Ooi would win BOTY by a landslide.<br /> Yet, when the voting booth opened many people was surprised to see that Jeff Ooi had relinquished his BOTY finalist spot. I was taken off NOTY and given Jeff Ooi&#8217;s finalist spot to run for <em>Blog of the Year</em>, eventhough I didn&#8217;t qualify in the first place.<br /> This could only mean one thing. <strong>I&#8217;m not a NOTY boy.</strong><br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="20050616-2.jpg" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050616-2.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">And the nominees are&#8230;<br /> Pardon the lame pun.<br /> To Singaporean readers who have no idea who Jeff Ooi is, allow me to introduce. <a href="http://www.jeffooi.com">Jeff Ooi</a> is one of the most respected bloggers in Malaysia. He is our very own moral crusader, our freedom fighter, our online ombudsman, Malaysia&#8217;s Most Influential Blogger, and the AH KONG of all Malaysian blogs! As an analogy, think Singapore&#8217;s <a href="http://www.mrbrown.com">mr brown</a>&#8230; but a lot more serious content and a lot less humour.<br /> I look at the people I&#8217;m contending with and I look at myself. A lot of people might disagree with me, but I&#8217;m the underdog here.

An anonymous blog whom some people say have the same brand of humour as mine. He&#8217;s been blogging since September 2003, which makes him the veteran blogger in this category. Compared to my blog, Viewtru&#8217;s style of writing is not as attention-grabbing. It is very casual and relaxed which probably appeals to the other bloggers who would cast their vote in his favour based on that.<br /> <a href="http://www.brandmalaysia.com">Mack Zulkifli</a> is a highly intellectual individual whose blog focus mostly on politics and current affairs. He&#8217;s often compared to Jeff Ooi, and I must say they are indeed quite similar&#8230; right down to their brush with the local police respectively. Some would say his blog is dry and reads like a PhD thesis. But unlike Viewtru or myself, Mack&#8217;s blog seek to empower not entertain. He&#8217;ll appeal to voters who want a serious and mature current-affairs-type blogger to take the <em>Blog of the Year</em> award because let&#8217;s face it, I find my coconuts more interesting than politics.<br /> <strong style="font-size:large;">Ping of the Year</strong><br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="20050616-4.jpg" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050616-4.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></p> <p class="caption">Or if you like&#8230; Stone Cold Jeff Ooi Vs Kenny Cena Vs Peter The Rock</p> <p><a href="http://www.jeffooi.com/archives/2004/10/screenshots_vil.php">Jeff Ooi&#8217;s blog</a> got him on front-page headlines and won him the Freedom Blog Awards.

Come interview me lah!&#8221;</em></strong><br /> Nabeh.<br /> Shortly after I posted <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/06/sarong_party_gi.php">that entry</a>, <em>heng-heng</em> two journalists from two different newspapers e-mailed me for an interview. One is by a Malaysian newspaper who wished to remain anonymous, and the other is by Singapore&#8217;s <em>Straits Times</em>.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="se" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050615-1.jpg" width="400" height="300" /><br /> The journalist from <em>The Straits Times</em> damn power. We talked on the telephone for almost an hour, international call no-less, until my ear also barbequed to medium-rare liaw. How much of what I said is recorded I don&#8217;t know lah. Singaporean readers please keep an eye out for an article on the <em>&#8216;Sarong Party Girl&#8217; fiasco</em> over the next few days ok?<br /> I was told that there&#8217;s a possiblity my <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050612-4.jpg">&#8216;red boxers pose&#8217;</a> <strong>might </strong>be published on the Singaporean national newspaper. Honestly I don&#8217;t know why they would want to do that. Singaporean people so skinny already they still want to make them vomit out their lunch some more. Later Jonathan &#8220;Talk&#8221; Kok sue me for breaking obscenity laws then I know ah.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="se" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050615-3.jpg" width="400" height="300" /><br /> If you&#8217;re wondering about the details of <em>The Straits Times</em> interview, I basically said what I wanted to say in my entry already. I don&#8217;t agree with Sarong Party Girl&#8217;s ideologies, but I do believe that the newspaper is making a big hoo-hah out of it, and I think Ng Heng Ghee&#8217;s remarks about her parents were out-of-place and insensitive.<br /> We talked about the repercussion of this and how the elder generation might become even more paranoid about the Internet and their children keeping blogs. She defended the newspaper&#8217;s decision to publish the story in the first place, whilst I argued such gossipy kopitiam talk shouldn&#8217;t even be worthy of a 6&#215;4 place on a reputable national newspaper.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="se" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050615-2.jpg" width="400" height="300" /><br /> I made some comments about bloggers sticking up for one another in times like this. Obviously I&#8217;m not the best person to represent the millions of bloggers out there, but I think the statements I made reflect the sentiments the blogging community in general have regarding this Sarong Party Girl situation. We shall see.<br /> All in all, it was a great chat I had with the journalist.<br /> Now, all that&#8217;s left to be done is for Sarong Party Girl to read that newspaper article when its published, and convince herself that my dick is in fact, bigger than a white man&#8217;s dick. 🙂</p> </div> <!-- /.entry-content --> <footer class="entry-meta"> </footer> <!-- /.entry-meta --> </article> <!-- /#post --> <article itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Article" id="post-135" class="post-135 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-life-documentary"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://www.kennysia.com/vote_me_vote_me/" title="Permalink to Vote me!

I&#8217;m shortlisted as a finalist in the <strong><a href="http://www.petalingstreet.org/vote2005.html">Project Petaling Street (PPS) Blog Awards</a></strong>! In two out of three prestigious categories no less!<br /> This could mean one of two things. Either I&#8217;m one bloody good blogger. Or people in the Malaysian blogging community have finally gone crazy liaw.<br /> But in all seriousness, I&#8217;m very flattered. Although I have my serious side from time to time, what I write here are usually very light-hearted and perhaps even <em>&#8216;infantile&#8217;</em> in nature. There are <em>&#8216;mature&#8217;</em> bloggers out there (both in terms of their <strong>content </strong>and their <strong>age</strong>) who fully deserves to be awarded <em>Blog of the Year</em>. I know I&#8217;m not one of them.<br /> Many people believe that <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/04/jeff_oois_littl.php">Jeff Ooi</a> deserves the <em>Blog of the Year</em> award, but yet he&#8217;s not one of the finalists. Well of course not. That man is obviously eyeing his <em><a href="http://www.jeffooi.com/archives/2005/04/vote_for_freedo.php">Freedom Blog Awards</a></em>. He&#8217;s not gonna take this PPS bullshit!<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="20050602-2.gif" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050602-2.gif" width="150" height="275" /><br /> In any case, I&#8217;m very surprised and I&#8217;m very flattered. Judging by the silly things I write, I never regard myself as one of the best bloggers Malaysia has to offer. It makes my balls grow bigger knowing that there are people who do, and I sincerely thank you for that.<br /> If I win these awards, somebody should buy me a new pair of underwear.</p> <blockquote><p> <strong>Blog of the Year</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://viewtru.blogspot.com/">Viewtru</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.brandmalaysia.com/">Brand New Malaysian</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.kennysia.com/"><strong>Kenny Sia</strong></a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Ping of the Year</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/04/my_aprils_fool.php"><strong>April Fool&#8217;s: Making Fun of Myself, by Kenny Sia</strong></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.jeffooi.com/archives/2004/10/screenshots_vil.php">Screenshots vilified on Berita frontpage, by Jeff Ooi</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.petertan.com/blog/archives/2005/03/bloggers_are_mo.html">Bloggers Are Morons, by Peter Tan</a></li> </ul> <p><a href="http://www.petalingstreet.org/vote2005.html"><strong>VOTE HERE.</strong></a> </p></blockquote> <p>Only Malaysian bloggers registered with <em>Project Petaling Street</em> can vote though.

An unsolved mystery remains till today as to why our traditionally conservative leaders (including Badawi, Mahathir and his daughter Marina) so happily presented the award to HB, whilst conveniently overlooking the fact that the said article as well as the rest of the blog included references to the blogger&#8217;s <strong><em>&#8220;ALLEGED&#8221; </em></strong>pharmaceutical + illicit + recreational drug use. Hmmm&#8230;<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Inside BP Labs" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-2.jpg" width="400" height="300" /><br /> Like most people my age, I grew up overloaded with HIV/AIDS information. I know what they&#8217;re trying to achieve when they said they wanted to create awareness, but somehow listening to them constantly bombarding us with HIV awareness messages like that since PRIMARY SCHOOL kinda numbed its effect on me when I grow older and am actually ready for a sex life (not that I have any now anyway). I understand there&#8217;s a need for HIV awareness, but for fuck&#8217;s sake primary schools are not the place for it!<br /> Once I heard an enthusiastic anti-HIV campaigner/auntie on the radio. Interestingly, the radio DJ&#8217;s name is <strong>Rose</strong>, but the aunty kept calling her <strong>Roast</strong>. I thought why anyone would be so stupid as to name themselves Roast, until the DJ signed off by saying with a hint of sarcasm <em>&#8220;This is <strong>ROSALIND</strong>. Thanks for joining us.&#8221;</em><br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Roast Chicken" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-3.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">This is what I thought the scene was like at the studio</p> <p>The anti-HIV auntie lamented the fact that when she gave out pamphlets to people in shopping malls, people threw them in the bin instead of reading it. Well of course they threw it in the bin! Its always the same textbook shit: use condoms lah, don&#8217;t share needles lah, don&#8217;t sleep around lah. We&#8217;ve all heard it a thousand time before and we don&#8217;t need to hear it again. Besides most people like myself always bear that <em>&#8220;Its never gonna happen to me&#8221;</em> attitude.<br /> Its only after reading the aforementioned blog and watching a Japanese mini-series about AIDS (starring Kyoko Fukada and Takeshi Kanena) that I changed my attitude and realize <em>&#8220;Shit, this HIV thing is risky business!&#8221;</em><br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Tube" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-4.jpg" width="400" height="300" /><br /> Anyway I impulsively made a U-turn and proceeded right into the clinic asking for a HIV test. The lady at the counter gave me a form to fill out and asked for my identity card. Now here&#8217;s where I chose NOT to give out my personal information because if, <strong>IF</strong> I&#8217;m HIV-positive, my personal information will be entered into the government registry and I would be placed under constant scrutiny. Who know they might even <a href="http://www.tabulas.com/~lainie/823311.html#comment">cast me away on an isolated island</a> with other AIDS sufferers to avoid infecting others.<br /> I&#8217;m pretty confident I&#8217;m HIV-negative but I still asked to be anonymous so I wrote my name as <em>&#8216;Kent&#8217; </em>(in case I forgot what I&#8217;m supposed to be called) I gave the form back to her along with the RM25 fee, and that was that.<br /> The last blood test I took was eight years ago as part of my application for Australian permanent residency. Despite my enormous balls, I&#8217;m still chickenshit when it comes to needles. When I was younger I hated it when my mother tried to coax me into allowing the nurse to stick a needle into me by saying <em>&#8220;don&#8217;t worry it won&#8217;t hurt&#8221; </em>or <em>&#8220;its only gonna hurt just a little&#8221;</em> because GODAMMIT IT HURTS LIKE HELL ALRIGHT!?<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Needle" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-5.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">That&#8217;s not me but I put the picture in there just to satisfy you sick freaks out there</p> <p>Well the blood test was SOP. I felt stupid placing my arm on the padding because I actually paid RM25 to sit through this. Obviously I didn&#8217;t take any photos of the nurse drawing blood out of my veins because <s>I was shaking with fear and I didn&#8217;t dare to look at the shiny needle piercing into me</s> uhhh&#8230; the camera battery died on me.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Plaster" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-7.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">My camera battery miraculously went alive again when I took this shot!</p> <p>This is not related but there&#8217;s one incident back in Perth that still scares the living shit out of me when I think about it.<br /> There&#8217;s one sunny afternoon when Nicole and I were walking towards Hay St Mall minding our own business when we were approached by a stranger asking for money. I don&#8217;t remember much about him but he was short, slim, droopy-eyed, olive-skinned and sported some curly locks. Come to think about it he kinda look like MotoGP racer <em>Valentino Rossi</em>.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Rossi" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-6.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">Yes that&#8217;s the culprit! THAT&#8217;S HIM!</p> <p>People who&#8217;ve been to Perth would know that there&#8217;s ALWAYS people asking you for money. My policy is not to give any money to random beggars off the streets because when you have your arms and legs attached I don&#8217;t see why you can&#8217;t get a job. Instead of someone wandering the streets asking me <em>&#8220;Brudda&#8230; can I get dolla?&#8221;</em>, I&#8217;d rather give my money to those buskers in the city because at least they provide me with crappy entertainment.<br /> So I effectively told the stranger <em>&#8220;No I don&#8217;t wanna give you any money&#8221;</em>, which angered him. At that point he pulled out a syringe from his pocket, removed its orange cap to expose the needle and held it above his head repeatedly screaming <em>&#8220;DO YOU WANT AIDS?! DO YOU WANT AIDS!? I&#8217;LL GIVE YOU AIDS!!&#8221; </em>maniacally. Remember this all happened in matter for few seconds in broad daylight with busy shoppers walking around. I was terrified.<br /> I wished I could say I turned into Jacky Chan, gave him some vicious karate chops and ripped a new asshole for him so when he shits it comes out of both holes. But I didn&#8217;t.<br /> Instead I was busy <s>wetting my pants</s> handing him money from my wallet because I didn&#8217;t want Nicole or I to get into trouble. He demanded AUD$50 but I think I gave him a grand total of AUD$3 which was all the coins I had at the time.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Wound" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-8.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">Here&#8217;s where the needle poked, three days later.</p> <p>Sorry I digressed.<br /> Anyway, just earlier today I went to BP Labs and picked up my results.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Result" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050423-9.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">Anti-HIV I &#038; II Screening: Non Reactive.

In a mad coincidence of events, my mother and my brother were both out of town for other equally important commitments, my sister has her own kids to take care of, so I ended up being the only person (apart from his siblings) able to care for him.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Survival" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050422-1.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">My survival kit for the next 40 hours. Yes I know its a little inappropriate but do I look like I care?</p> <p>Anyway, it turned out that the wound on my father&#8217;s forehead was superficial. The reason he had to stay at the hospital for two nights was because his haemoglobin level was running low, and the blood bank was lacking fresh supplies for transfusion.<br /> Well I was frustrated about the delay. Besides I think my father deserves only the best. So I flew to West Malaysia, slayed some young virgin girls and brought back some fresh blood for my father.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="20050422-7.jpg" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050422-7.jpg" width="400" height="600" /></p> <p class="caption">I&#8217;m sorry guys, but these annoying twats won&#8217;t be releasing any more albums next Chinese New Year!</p> <p>Without a WiFi-enabled laptop I had lots of fun chatting to the wall. But in my 40 hours, I&#8217;ve observed that the scene at the medical ward was interesting to say the least. Seriously, before this, I thought <em><strong>my bedroom</strong></em> was the only place in the world where people would eat, shit and sleep at the same location.<br /> One thing I find interesting was the doctors there.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Doctors" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050422-3.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">Its a requirement to know how to do split legs if you want to earn a Doctor&#8217;s degree</p> <p>I always had the stereotype that doctors are usually big fat balding middle-aged men with that sleazy look on their face, which was why I was quite surprised to see these slim-built good-looking 20-somethings wearing the sthetoscopes, complete with their <em>hao lien</em> Versace suits, Tag Heuer watches and overseas-educated accented English.

Things only go bad at night because when you&#8217;re surrounded by sick people your mind starts playing tricks on you. Even normal things like an taking a lift becomes spooky.<br /> I had the misfortune of riding a lift at 4am in the morning. It stopped at Level 4 and when it opened its door and no one was around. Normally I&#8217;d just be pissed off but when it happened last night I was so scared I hugged my balls for protection.<br /> I like the picture of this corridor. It shows how quiet the ward was at night.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Corridor" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050422-4.gif" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">What?

But I&#8217;m not gonna whore for hits today. 🙂<br /> Instead I&#8217;m tuning back into reality for a while.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="20050412-2.jpg" src="http://www.kennysia.com/images/photos/20050412-2.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></p> <p class="caption">Home for 8 years, <s>for sale</s>&#8230; SOLD.</p> <p>For the benefit of those who just started following my blog and <s>too lazy</s>&#8230; doesn&#8217;t want to read through the archives, I&#8217;ll try to summarise what happened in one paragraph or less.<br /> I&#8217;ve spent the past eight years of my life in Perth Australia studying, and later <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/01/my_job_at_spect.html">working</a>. October last year, I learnt that my father was diagnosed with <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/01/the_day_i_knew.html">Stage IV kidney cancer</a>. So about six weeks ago, I <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/01/letter_of_resig.html">left my handsome job</a>, my <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/02/reflections_on.html">girlfriend</a> and <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/03/final_moments_i.html">returned to Kuching</a>, starting <a href="http://www.kennysia.com/archives/2005/03/a_change_in_pro.html">a new life</a>.<br /> So there.<br /> *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*</p> <blockquote style="background-color:#EEFFFF;"> <div style="padding: 15px;"> <strong>Dear Gary, Julie and the rest of the folks at Spectra,</strong><br /> How are y&#8217;all doing? Its been 6 weeks since I left Perth, so here&#8217;s just a quick note to let you know that things are still holding up at my end.<br /> Since the last time I wrote, my father&#8217;s health has improved somewhat. Gone were the eerie hallucinations he spoke of. Gone were his awkward tendencies to forget things and the dazed expressions. The glow on his face is restored. His weight has gone up slightly as his appetite improved. As a matter of fact, he just had dinner at KFC!<br /> All in all, my father behaves very much like a normal person except he still can&#8217;t move around too much and still require lots of rest. I can only hope that this is the beginning of a miracle. Once again I sincerely thank you for your well wishes.<br /> The <s>bad news</s> <s>good news</s> bad news is, I still honestly have no idea if or when I&#8217;ll be back in Perth.<br /> I&#8217;m not sure what is going to happen to the software that I wrote or if there&#8217;s someone new to look after them. But as always, I&#8217;m reachable by e-mail and if there&#8217;s any pressing bugs that needs to be squashed or portions of the code that wasn&#8217;t documented properly, just let me know and I&#8217;ll do my best. Hey, just because I&#8217;m not on the company payroll doesn&#8217;t mean I won&#8217;t be helping out! 🙂<br /> Hope things are going well over there. I miss you guys all dearly.<br /> Regards,<br /> <em>Kenny</em> </div> </blockquote> <p>*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*<br /> Having to hear my father state the terms of his will, is without a doubt, one of the most difficult things I&#8217;ve ever had to experience in my life.<br /> We don&#8217;t want your money, we just want you to <strong>LIVE</strong>.<br /> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" alt="Prayer"
