I AM STRONG: Malaysia!

I was in Malaysia from May 26 to June 1 for the first international training seminar of the newly configured, and newly combined I AM STRONG and IKLR program. Needless to say, despite my desperate battles against over-indulgence (a struggle I have fought, to date, only in Kuala Lumpur), the long, sleepless nights contemplating beds bereft of smiling kin, and the logistical difficulties normally associated with traveling in a foreign country, I really enjoyed the trip.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped training the wonderful, insightful, warm-hearted citizens of Kuala Lumpur, and adopted the slightly reverential, oftentimes jovial stance of a student who has much to learn about the simple truths of freedom, responsibility, and cultural diversity. And yes, half my weight is effectively chicken rice, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of Mr. Chris Lim and his sons Nathan, Nicholas, and Noah.

See you again soon!
