Over the long weekend, a few of my readers informed me that some of my blog links were down. Links to popular posts, especially – all the Top 10s were down. These days, malware has been an issue on Bangsarbabe.com. I’ve lost count on the many times my web host…
Kuantan used to be a place I’d visit at least twice a year because back in his audit days, rif was stationed there for a month or two. When I went over for the weekend, we’d explore the area for good eats. Given our hectic schedules these days, I don’t…
