Not so good, but not so bad!

Being in Canada has its charms, but its a bit difficult to see what's going on in Malaysia with the 13h time difference! In any case, talked to Ariff today about the progress of the installation. Said "not so good, not so bad" - so I suppose as with many installations, its going OK! They arrived to the site, with nothing much that had been done, but things quickly got moving after Ariff made a couple of calls. I was nervous all night thinking how things were going, but after talking to Ariff, my fears were allayed!

They're going off to dinner now.
1. The wall still has to go up, but Ariff is not worried bc the main part is to get the pictures all up.
2. The pictures hopefully will be all hung up today.
3. Ask about the sound system - ask yunus about it.
4. Zamry was impressed (according to Ariff) when he saw the installation, so I'm happy!
5. Lighting still has to be installed tomorrow.
6. Cheshire Home is good. Mr. Chin (who works there) was really nice - drove to pick up the team.
7. Weather is rainy. Ariff, Man, Dang, and Razif are huge troopers for going thru with all this!

Asked Razif to take pictures of the process, so hopefully when they get back to KL they'll be able to post things up. And of course, I'm posting up a picture here to jazz things up!
