There are not a lot of singers who understand that it’s never about upstaging one another. Most of the time, those who understand how to elevate a song instead of competing are mostly the legends. You can hear it when Chester and Chris harmonized the chorus on timestamp 03:15.
Damn. I still freaking miss them.

Just recently, I went to Sapporo for a team meetup. As a company with distributed working/remote working Before It Was Cool™, Automattic understands the importance of meeting face-to-face. Yes, we do remote working, and yes, we also appreciate the opportunity to meet our co-workers in real life.
Anyway, the trip was mostly work-related trip as in, the week was filled with workshops and learnups. Nevertheless, it was fun.
“Otaru has been a major fishing and trading port since the 1800s. Many handsome turn-of-the-century western-style buildings, such as former warehouses, residences and offices, built by foreign shipping and trading companies, still dot the town. Together with its coastal location, this makes Otaru an architecturally interesting and aesthetically pleasing place to spend the day.”

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to see the leaves changing colors. Born and live in the tropics for my entire life, witnessing changing seasons is such a privilege. Thank you, Sapporo. Until next time.
We had our breakfast at Nasi Kandar Pelita (roti canai, Maggi goreng, tosai, and poori set) and took a walk on the KLCC Park while Wira and I tried our DSLR cameras after long time (he uses Nikon, I use FujiFilm.)
Roti canai is quintessentially Malaysian that shows the nation’s close ties with Indian’s culture and food — and no wonder, as Indian is one of the three major races here in Malaysia (Indian-Malaysian.) It’s based from Indian flatbread that repeatedly kneaded and folded and flattened (the whole process is called “canai”, hence the name.) It usually served with dal and curry, but you can expect the dish in sweet format, such as roti canai Milo and roti canai pisang (banana).
Tosai (or dosa) is a South Indian dish, a thin savory pancake made from fermented batter of ground black lentils and rice.
Poori is a deep-fried bread that looks like a ball with empty pockets. It’s light and surprisingly filling.
