Arrived in Johor today with my colleague, Chua. Will be here for the next 4 days for business. One of the perks of the job, that's for sure. Travel anywhere in Malaysia by plane, stay in the best hotels and get paid RM100 a day for "food expenses". Doesn't get much better than that...

Been giving some thought to latest round of PETRONAS' PRIMAX ads. Malaysia's national oil and gas company recently launched a new fuel with a "Friction Modifier (FM)" additive that is supposed to protect a car's engine by reducing friction. The new tagline to express this fuel is "Better performance, Better protection". Think about these phrases for a moment:
Friction Modifier => Maximum performance, maximum protection

Maximum performance, maximum protection?
Is it just me, or does this sound like a suitable selling line for a brand of condoms? :)
