This is the day I discovered something new about myself. I am an entrepreneur material! Through self-denial I could not but help myself to see some truth when I met up with a few guys from a multi-branch company. Hmmmmmm......still in the thinking process.

Another discovery, and that was from the newspaper. The heatwave is gonna persevere, and too bad there won't be half-time until August this year. Whose fault? Let me say this; you can post your grudges at any Grudges Board you can find off the Web and state the subject as Whose Fault Causing The Heatwave in Malaysia? or bla bla bla you deem it is appropriate. Apparently, the source was from down southwest of the peninsular, and I guess you would have guessed it where and how. As a typical Malaysian will go like this: "No wonder-lah!" :)

The long heatwave continued to embrace the Klang Valley and perhaps the whole nation here. Only the air conditioner kept my room cool and away from the El Nino effect. As I wrote this, I thought there was rain a few days back but it was just a brief spell and the wet grounds around my neighbourhood were quickly dried up by the scorching sun. It wasn't that bad after all as this is the great time for kids to go out to the park or playground to play in the evening, or soccer or basketball for the youngsters, or a walk in the park for just about anyone, e.g. the lovely park some few minutes walking distance from my home. Like this evening as I followed my family for dinner with relatives, I could see like about 100 over people at that park! If this has been a wet season, things would be so different.

Today was supposed to be a new RIFTS session for my RPG group but the Game Master couldn't make it and thus was postponed to a later date. It would be a Japanese setting for the game, and a Sohei warrior monk and a Tengu are in the drawing board.

On Saturday 17 May, things went on as usual except that since my two cousins Shyu and Yuen stayed over at my place, I took them back en route to my weekly badminton game in KL. One different thing while on my way to badminton, I took a detour hoping to escape the jam at the end of Jalan Syed Putra. To my horror, I got stuck at Jalan Kuching and couldn't take my friends at the bus stop at Jalan Raja Laut to be at the badminton venue on time. Instead, they had to go on their own and I was late 20 minutes! Jalan Kuching was apparently closed for reconstruction work...darn. It was also the lowest turnout of players for badminton, only four of us. Probably due to the long holiday for the week or the long weekend for those who took Friday off where some of them went back home ala balik kampung.

Then the usual evening CS session came and another friend joined us. For more about our CS adventures, check out The POGT CS Gang Coner website. That internet cafe seemed to be doing well and they've just installed another 20 PCs to make their stronghold a total of 80 PCs! We took up the new PCs, not knowing that new area wasn't air-conded and we left the cafe blazing hot for some cold drinks.

The Matrix Reloaded was cool! That was what I could sum up after catching it at The Summit USJ with my sister and two cousins, Shyu and Yuen. Since it's only day 2 for the movie launched nationwide Malaysia, tickets were pretty much full and one could forget about booking via phone as I did. Lot more action and techno-jargons, and a lot more Virtual Adepts too, even an Akashic Brotherhood was in there. Not the whole lot, but the essence behind this superb movie.

My cousins stayed overnight and Yuen brought the Matrix Reloaded PS2 game. Quickly tried it on my PS2 and you can see more stories of Niobe and Ghost and their crew. It's a side-story from the main film and they are the same people. I got to play a round of C & C Generals with Yuen over direct cable. At just 4 Mbps, it was dead slow and that prompted me to get a switch next time.
