Its April!

Alpha at his best

1905hrs: Alpha is barely 3 months old and he is already weighing in at 11.1 Kgs. He has been on hyperactive mode lately and it has been a pain teaching him not to chew on everything he sees. He needs to be put under control before you notice me wearing torn clothes and shoes, damn, naughty bugger!

On another note, I was at one of the many government administrative buildings at Putrajaya to certify some documents yesterday, along with a friend, we toured around the city with the perfect excuse "since we're already here, why not?" So then we cheated ourselves by engaging with the impromptu tour around the city pretending to be tourist. One of the very first buildings we 'visited' was the Istana Kehakiman, the architecture was simply amazing. We entered the building using the back entrance, and to my surprise the security level of what you called the palace of justice was relatively low. We literally walked through metal detectors located at the back entrance with one auxiliary police officer guarding it, and he was obviously not interested of our intentions. The beeping alarm went off as we walked through the sophisticated metal detectors and without having to remove anything from our pockets only to be placed through the ever waiting x-ray machines if we were asked to, was just too easy. I bet the x-ray machines were a little disappointed too. The alarm from the metal detectors echoed through the empty hall was just not enough to bother the officer, not a bit. I am not asking to be frisk or to be stripped, but I'm expecting he'd ask what our intentions were. Anyways, the architecture inside the building was equally marvelous as it is from the outside, and it is nothing less than a 6-star hotel lobby with two grand flight of stairs leading to a upper level from both sides, like the ones Tony Montana has in his mansion on scarface, only bigger. We strolled up and down the hall, and finally exited the building through the main entrance and this one I cannot fail to notice -- their motto, proudly printed and hung on the wall, probably about 5 story in length stating 'buat kerja' riiiigggght, its about time.
