Sin Chew Jit Poh and See Hua (local Chinese dailies) had graduation photos of me and my sister today. Anyway, about my future plans that I've meant to post about - I'll be based in Kuching starting February. I'll be pulling in a 2k salary, which was part of the reason behind the decision to move. There's also an EPF (KWSP) contribution and Kuching living expenses are much cheaper than KL which means I'll have more money to pay for the unholy excess bandwidth charges that sixthseal.com racks up. :p
My field is somewhat similar to what I was doing in KL, except I'll also spearhead their networking solution in addition to being a programmer. I'll be working a six day week (well, five and half days to be exact) - 8 am till 5 pm weekdays and 8 am till 12:30 pm Saturday. I'll be driving in Kuching so the earlier start time wouldn't be an issue. There you have it, I'll be flying back to KL on the 27th to pack up the remainder of my stuff and flying back to Sibu on the 30th and it's off to Kuching I go on the 31st of January.
Speaking of which, does anyone know of any rooms to rent in Kuching? I've heard of several, which are either too expensive or not suitable. I'll like a room in a house with a washing machine and air conditioning (optional), the ability to get a phone line installed and privacy (that means no barging into my room and I have the only set of keys to my room). I am not noisy (I always use headphones) and do not mind noisy environments (I have benzos ;)). Open minded and discreet fellow residents would be appreciated.
