I moved in to KL about 15 months ago. It’s been exciting - new stuff,
new cultures, new ways of doing things. Not all are good and at the

Is this good? If elected, will he…
I got a surprise from my wife today. She cooked general Tso’s chicken
for lunch. It’s been at least one and a half years since the last time
I had this dish. I love you, babe.
No, I’m not writing the recipe here.
General Tso’s chicken is the first…
So Beckham got a deal with LA Galaxy worth, potentially, US $ 250 million for
five years. That’s the total package if everything goes as planned — $50
million in salary, $50 million in club profits, $50 million in shirt sale

Heads up, MBAs!
