Hello, World! It’s me here!

This is me, at the E & O Hotel

Hi, my name is Philip. I’m 47 years old, and have just started this blog, never too late, yes? I live in Penang, Malaysia. This is a beautiful country of about 26 million people. It’s just south of Thailand (we share a border) and north of Singapore.

I’ve been teaching piano privately for more than 25 years now, ever since graduating from the University of Arizona with a B. Music degree in the early 80’s. I’ve also become quite a computer geek since the early 90’s, starting with Windows 3.1 and now on to Vista. Building and servicing Intel-based PCs is another hobby of mine, which does bring in some good pocket money every now and then.

When I’m away from the computer keyboard, I play cocktail music at the E & O Hotel here, twice a week. A very nice and relaxing job, if I may say so (thanks, Mike!) Well, I’ve played cocktail piano for as long as I can remember, but I’ll save those for another post.

When I need some exercise, I head for the pool, which is almost every weekday. Swimming is another passion of mine. It really clears the head and I love the feel of water. Especially in a hot and humid country such as Malaysia.

Last but not least, I’m a staff member at BigBlueBall. If you want to know everything about Instant Messaging, this IS the place to go to. Besides, it has a ton of other cool stuff to check out, including Social Networking, the latest phones, a really nice BigBlueBall lounge, and on and on.

Alright, think I’ve just about completed the intro. I’ll be posting often, I hope! See you soon!

    Philip…I had no idea you were a music major and piano player/teacher. I play piano too! Well to be honest, I play more like your average 12 year old (thats when I official stopped taking lessons). You’ve been such a huge help to me at BigBlueBall and now I look forward to reading your blog and finding out more about who you are. Thanks for many, many months of patient help and guidance.

    Hi Philip

    Wow! I am impressed! This looks really good and the content is aces . . . of course I might be a bit biased as well, but who cares?!?!?

    Have bookmarked the blog so whenever I feel like seeing what you’re up to, one click and I can do just that.

    I look forward to seeing what else you put here.

    You play piano as an occupation? Very cool. :)

    I, myself, can spend hours upon hours in water.

    I love the “submerged” feeling you get in a cool pool on a hot day as well –nothing else like it!

    I’m looking forward to following along with you Philip! Looks like we both bit the Blog bug at the same time. I especially like the theme you are using too. Very nice, crisp and fresh.

    I also didn’t know you played Piano. Very nice. That is a lovely photo of you too. I guess we will be learning a lot about us and our writings here in our blogs.

    Take care,
    -Lisa
