man, it's crazy how there's always a lot to do just when you're about to go on leave. it's a conspiracy, i say. everything from tiresome client calling up with tiresome query when you really don't need it, and client giving instructions on a new matter a day before you leave (when the client had all of the past 2 months to send the instructions), to papercut from the darned Submission documents.
got home at midnight, had a snack, flipped through what had been (for a few minutes already then) yesterday's papers, and then decided to do something about the throbbing headache so whipped out the trusty bottle of medicated menthol oil. absent-mindedly dabbed at the oil with the finger on which the papercut was suffered just a few hours ago. ouch. the therapeutic effect of the halo of 'minyak angin' generated now slowly drifts the conscious mind away into the dominion of the sandman...

sites and songs
this is really quite nice - www.kualalumpur.gov.my. of course it's probably been there for ages before i happened to stumble upon it - an occupational hazard of spending most of your time each working day doing work which isn't exactly terribly IT-intensive (yet, anyway).
government websites have sure come a long way from the days when the website generally accepted as the website representing the country was in a sub-directory lost somewhere under the site of the nation's then only ISP, and was essentially a haphazard trade directory of sorts where the most advanced piece of code was "[table]". sites later became more well-planned and had better content, but began to reek of overkill of multimedia and graphics.. the website of a particular government department used to have its home page made entirely up of 58 relatively large images (some of these constituted crucial links and there was little or no alternate text!), 'twas quite a pain cos we didn't have very fast connections then..
meanwhile, check out the website of the department of lands and mines in selangor (a.k.a. the selangor land registry to some of us). did you know that the said land registry has its very own official SONG?
