palm oil, anyone?

by the way, an update to the post on the new campus:

- it's quite nice, really. don't think they'll have swans in the lake yet (during my first trip there, the fountain spouted cafe latte), and not quite sure why linoleum flooring, but yup, it looks like a nice oasis in the oil palm desert.

- it IS also in the middle of nowhere! just like an oasis in a desert..

- don't know what the situation was like before, but the air-cond is working all too well now :-D

- there IS now a signboard before the gas-station-turning (and at least two more on the winding road thereafter to keep you informed that, 'yes, we know this is an amazing artefact of civil engineering - a long and winding road with no streetlamps - but there's light at the end of the tunnel')

- each trip costs RM4.80 in toll charges (RM6.30 if you're lazy and decide to use the kerinchi link to get to the federal highway)

- each trip to and fro takes about 1/5 off my gas tank.
