Stevie Wonder is playing his 1st gig in China and the place is packed to the rafters. In a bid to break the ice he asks if anyone has a request. One chap jumps out of his seat in the 1st row and shouts at the top of his voice "Play a jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!" Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie's career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the whole place goes wild.
The chap jumps out of his seat again and shouts "No, no, play a jazz chord, play a jazz chord". A bit cheesed off by this, Stevie, being the professional he is, dives straight in to a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd go ballistic with this impromptu show of his musical expertise.
But, still the little Chinese man jumps up again and shouts"No, no. Play a jazz chord, play a jazz chord". Stevie is really cheesed off now that this chap doesn't seem to appreciate his playing ability and shouts to him from the stage" OK - smart alec, you get up here and do it". The little bloke climbs onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and starts to sing... " … a jazz chord to say, I ruv you..." (I just call to say, I love you..).

Going to Work
I won't have any problems of getting stuck in a traffic and therefore late for work. Neither could I be late sitting at my desk as my residence is only on the upper floor now.
When I'm in Kuala Lumpur, the journey from home to office on a non-working day takes me only 10-15 minutes but it will take me almost 1 hour on working days in the morning.

World AIDS Day, 1 December is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and AIDS. This year, it's up to you, me and us to stop the spread of HIV and end prejudice.
HIV/Aids is having a crippling effect on the workforce of many countries, a report by the International Labour Organization for World Aids Day says.The ILO said HIV/Aids killed almost 3.5 million people of working age in 2005.

Finally Settled Down!!
Hi, I'm back this time with more time on the internet.
On Wednesday, 3 guys’ personal belongings were packed into a pick-up truck to move over to our office cum house place about 5 minutes away. The house in the background was occupied by various staff since the beginning of the project in July 2004 till now. 
The upper floor is our residential area of 3 rooms 2 bathrooms. That is the nice satellite receiver where it serves our internet (very important for us). 24/7 internet connection since we are staying upstairs now.
A nice garden that was well taken care with a generator in placed too. Every house or office requires a generator set due to frequent power cuts in Sudan. Big business for generator sector. Powered by diesel.

Still Stucked!!!
What I feared most happened. The IT guys didn't get to connect/configure the office server and satellite within a day. 3 days gone and I can't smell the internet function I'm not submitting this at the comfort of my office or home but at a cybercafe about 5 mins from new home.
New home? A surprise came in somehow as I was requested to move house too on 28 Nov too. So, 4 guys moved to the 1st floor of the new office building. The office will only occupy the ground floor and 4 guys will be staying upstairs. What hectic days for moving office and home at the same time. More pictures will be posted to show the new office area when internet service resumes. This time round I will have internet access for 24 hours (provided I don't sleep of course) as a picture to be posted will show you how big is my satellite receiver.
Just when the thought of new environment sets in, news of war down south Sudan has to happen to give me some shivers. "At least 300 people were killed in clashes between Sudan's army and former rebels in the south earlier this week, aid workers say" - such statement won't bring you comfort. Clashes between a northern militia led by Maj Gen Gabriel Tang and the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) former rebels in parts of a town called Malakal. (source: BBC News/Africa)

The Joys of Receiving Emails
**Got this via email yesterday!!!**
I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your damn chain letters over the past few years.
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of what's left of my heart for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.
Because of your concern...
* I no longer drink Coca Cola ... because it can remove toilet stains.
* I no longer drink anything out of a can ... because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.
* I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave ... because it causes cancer.
* I no longer check the coin return on pay phones ... because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
* I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants ... even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day
* I no longer use margarine ... because it's one molecule away from being plastic.
* I no longer go to shopping malls ... because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
* I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx ... since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
* I no longer answer the phone ... because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which * I will get the phone bill from hell with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Zebekistan.
* I no longer eat KFC ... because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
* I no longer date the opposite sex ... because they will take my kidneys and leave me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
* I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus ... since I now have their recipe.
* I no longer worry about my soul ... because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
* Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes. (Geez, the BIBLE did not mention it works that way!)
* I no longer have any savings ... because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
* I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo much for looking out for me! I will now return the favor. If you don't send this e-mail to at least 1200 people in the next 60 seconds, a large bird with diarrhea will crap on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas of a thousand camels will infest your armpits.
I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's 8th husband's 2nd cousin's 3rd husband's ex-wife's mother's beautician!
Ain't spam great?!?!?
