I finally caved in and got a hotmail account. No one can escape the reach of Microsoft (All hail Billy G!). Add hellomase@hotmail.com to your MSN contact list and send me your MSN name.

*Progress to KL

I have been chillin at the KL National Library every day trying to resuscitate my knowledge of basic financial principals that have been lost to academic bulimia. I do not want to be stumped in any interview on something stupid like EVA, CAPM TVOM or current commodity prices so it's back to the books. It comes back quick and I have had a chance to learn some interesting things about the region that I wouldn't have known otherwise.

I also have made a list of 80 firms that will be getting a nice shiny resume and cover letter from me in a very short time. How do you compete with a Harvard degree when seeking highly selective career? It's all about statistics and persistence and my list of 80 will either yield a job or get very sick of the name Fuller by the end of 6 weeks.

My week in Kuala Lumpur has been a very nice change of pace by not having to pack a bag every morning and look for a place to stay every night. I have sunk some shallow roots here with my athletic club card and library card in hand. I'm also a regular at the morning coffee shop on the corner.
