everyone wants to be a pirate.
arrrrrrrrr.
i was having lunch with my father yesterday and i told him about my idea to record lectures and burn them onto cd to sell, since nobody is particularly bothered to do so. he then told me about his days in UM, where he'd make contacts and sell compilations of the lecturers' notes for (what was then) big money. he'd appoint his friends to be agents on his behalf, and they'd take some of the cut.
what if they took the books themselves to copy and to sell? well, apparently my dad was the only one who could copy them as he had friends in printing. as in proper printing presses. copying would've cost as much, if not more...and besides, in his own words, "people were more honest back then". they wouldn't take the con out of each other.
amazing. copyright infringement dates back to the 70s, courtesy of my respected, reputable and recalcitrant father.

the interview with the doctor could've been better. i've discovered my habit for jumping into a one-way conversation. i'm easily excitable. i don't really know if the contents of the interview are enough for the assignment, but on the bright side, getting the thing recorded beats making stuff up all the time and failing for it.

empty-ish. it's much bigger than this...there'd be at least 2 more areas further on the right.
it's a car on a hill. funky looking wall adornment.
the chee chong fun isn't as solid as we'd expect it to be.
i don't know what this is called.
eggplants and egg tarts.
more from the spread.

the lorenzo bed upstairs.
a concentrated heap of junk downstairs.
a bird's eye view of the junk. note the crumped, blue comforter. also note the lack of proper chairs.
a beautiful mess.
it protects me while i sleep. i think.

anyway, my father and i had lunch at the slightly dodgy wenworth hotel, in the heart of pudu. it was the closest place to eat from the doctor's. this was my second there time...RM 15 for all the dim sum you can eat. if you're bringing a girl out and you want to impress her to an extent, come to the wenworth and then get a room for a "day".
