<p>Recently, I&#8217;ve been taking advantage of being 5 minutes away from Kuta beach with some really crazy fun powerwalking.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the most concise instruction video I&#8217;ve found online. 5 minutes later, I was bursting from Seminyak over to Pettitenget, which is about 4km back and forth under 30 minutes.</p>

<p>Give it a go! It&#8217;s not as silly as it looks especially if your starting to look fitter and feeling GREAT!</p>

<p>It&#8217;s not so much as a holiday. It&#8217;s more of a reformatting, defragmentation, debugging, and software update. This piece of software certainly feels like he deserves it.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.johnkuan.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/defrag.jpg" alt="defrag.jpg" border="0" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>In a few hours, Yasser and myself will be boarding the AirAsia flight over to Krabi. After we arrive, we&#8217;ll be heading straight over to the local bus station to see if we can rumble over to Surat before 4:30pm (We were told that it would be last chance we would have to get onto the ferry before they closed their services for the day)</p>
<h3>Seeing how the trip goes, we&#8217;ll be making as many updates as we can through the blog just to let you know how things are going. I&#8217;ve been so far booked to play at the Pirate Bar for the Moonset Party, but we&#8217;ll see how that goes.</h3>
<p>Really looking forward to the movement.</p>
<p>Software out.</p>

<p>These are my two cats. <strong>Gabriel and Loki</strong>.</p>

<p>Gabriel&#8217;s the orange tabby doberman-cross and Loki&#8217;s the white opera-singing baby.</p>
<p>I adopted Gabriel about a year and a half ago from this <a href="http://chibigab.exblog.jp/">blog</a> run by Miyuki and Rayna. Gabriel was their first foster case in Malaysia. </p>
<p><em>He was so small and extremely feisty. Still is.</em></p>
<p>Loki came from Dawn, who worked with me back in <a href="http://www.eurorscg.com/">EuroRSCG</a>. He meows very articulately with very precise pitch. </p>
<p>We think he knows the answers to every question, we just can&#8217;t understand him.</p>
<h3>My meow-meows keep me sane.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>This is my new blog. If you are here, you know what I do, you know how I tell it, you know how it will add value to your life.</h2>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know. Find out. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/John_Kuan/560474288">Facebook</a> is your friend. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/John_Kuan/560474288">Mine too</a>.</p>
<p>Manu and I are staring at the wall. Eventually I&#8217;ll be trying to prepare for more T. Harv Ecker tomorrow.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.johnkuan.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/t-harv-ecker.jpg" alt="t-harv-ecker.jpg" border="1" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s been on funky spin for the past 4 days since the Global Warming incident in KL. It&#8217;s apparently some creepy energies involving a corpse, but <em>I will not get into that tonight.</em> I think Yasser has already been through enough.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to need to be up at 7am. But that&#8217;s OK because telling you about my day today is just going to add social proof to what I&#8217;m aiming to accomplish; <strong>expertise</strong>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the difference that will make you pay me.</p>
<h2>Expertise with <em>character</em>.</h2>
<p>Special Thanks so Suff for making me jealous of his <a href="http://infoarchie.wordpress.com/">(dis)infoarchie</a> blog and Marilyn for helping me pick this fun shade of green <font color="#99CC00">#99cc00</font>. </p>
<p>To my internet marketer friends and contemporaries, help with page ranking would be lovely if you care to spare a link. And as how most blog endeavors go, this site and myself will be in a perpetual state of work-in-progress.</p>
<h3>Pop!</h3>
