My daughter is four years old this year, the apple of my eye. Being a father is not easy but has been such a joy. I also understand my own parents better.

I enjoy bowling. I used to go bowling quite often when i was studying in Japan. Now that i am working, it is more difficult to find the time for it. My average score is now 140 and highest score was 204 (photo L). Only once did i break 200. Here's hoping for more >200 scores :)

My parents and my sister are still living in good, old Penang. They came for a visit. After starting my degree at University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, i have not really stayed in Penang. There were always reasons to be somewhere else; M.Sc at UM, work in Subang Jaya, Ph.D in Japan, lecturing in Kuala Terengganu and now KL. I find it harder to find opportunities to go back to Penang although Penang is always on my mind. Probably by now, i have spent more time outside Penang than in Penang. Lost touch with Penang Hokkien also :P You can take a Penangite out of Penang but you cannot take Penang out of a Penangite :)

We went to the Big Apple doughnut outlet at One Utama recently. I had seen lots of people queuing up at its Pavilion branch but the outlet at 1U was pretty small and sparsely furnished. There were many kinds of Big Apple doughnuts: some glazed with sugar, chocolate, nuts etc. It's soooooooo sweet! Maybe my daughter likes it?
