Short Trip

This week we took off for Penang. I took 2 and a half days off from work to make the trip.

We wanted to meet with Siew's cousin about the parts deals.

That was interesting, I learned more about what they want so I can try to find more things and they were surprised that I know so much about circuit boards, plastics, and manufacturing processes.

We went to a private hospital here this week to have an ultra-sound scan done. According to the doctor the risk of the child having down-syndrome or other health problems, in our case, is about 1 in 6285. Those odds are not bad, but I would do with a 100%, but I'll have to accept what is as it is.

Here is a picture of the baby:


I have the picture in bmp to maintain loss-less image quality. Normally I use jpg, but in this case the image is scanned in and is already not clear because of the ultra-sound. Sorry about the large file.

I also obtained my Malaysian driver's license. I am now legal, without having to take a test at all, to drive in Malaysia. Scary isn't it?

On the way to Penang I drove for about 1.5 hours. I am not used to the lack of cruise control, nor to using those particular leg and foot muscles. My foot in particular began to cramp quite a lot. Siew drove the rest of the trip.

We'll be heading back to KL tomorrow. I have to go back to work on Monday. I hope that I can start getting some things arranged and make some trips to finalize things. I really want to work with Siew's cousin, I think that has a lot more potential than teaching, ultimately.
