The middle of nowhere in the lap of luxury

Tara here: Here is a little story about our travels of late and it goes like this. While planning the next leg of their journey to Borneo, an island off Malaysia, Tara reads Lonely Planet and it says "rather than trying to fly from Singapore to Borneo, make sure to fly from Johor Bahru, a town in Malaysia only one hour from Singapore - as it is much cheaper than flying from Singapore proper". Tara looks at the Air Asia web site and finds a cheap flight from Johor Bahru to Borneo - "Super" she...

Family get together and wedding celebration

... her children educated here, so she was equally keen to learn of our stories of earlier times here. What was really interesting was to know that they’d had reunions for pupils of 30, 20 and 10 years ago!! I told her that since many would be my age or younger, she should consider trying to suggest a reunion for those of 40 year ago!! She was extremely keen to learn all about our school exploits.

She told us a lot about what the kids do at the school. They all go ...

... their luggage. Flight attendants began to yell down the aisles "SIT DOWN, WE NEED YOU TO SIT DOWN!". Passengers looked at them like this was the first they heard of the news. Then the real fun began. Government employees dressed in surgical scrubs, masks, and what resembled shrimping boots came on board and started their scanning process. Masks were passed out to everyone to put on while the thermal cameraman came down the aisle to scan ...

Little India/Boat Quay/China Town

I woke up when I woke up. Leisurely. Not having to set a time always makes me feel more rested the next day. But of course, I don't really ever sleep in late. I think it was still only about 8 in the morning. I headed down to the common room for breakfast: tea, toast and fruit. Everything was fresh and well prepared. A wonderful place to stay with wonderful people and a wonderful free breakfast in the morning for only $18 a night in the most expensive city in Asia. Perfect for me! I ...

Desaru resort

... opened - it was just fantastic walking along the beach getting soaked and watching millions of small rain drops just bouncing off the waters surface, I love the heavy rain here - probably because it passes so quickly. Lara and I were swimming in the sea with the rain falling, lightening flashing and thunder the loudest I have ever heard, it was magical, and just a little bit scary too. So nearing the end now, a few nights here then back to Singapore before flying home.

Bunkering, MICE, and Henna

... people playing are super hardcore about participating in the immunities and winning. Running from one person and trying to kill one another is a little more manageable anyways. I reapplied my henna tonight after cultural preport which took the majority of the night. Each arm took the woman two hours to complete so you can imagine how long it took me to do both by myself. It was fun and it looks descent but I don't know if I am going to do it again. (Which ...

... you. Once finished, we headed off to the gate and our newly appointed tour guide, jumped into the little Suzuki 4WD and off we went to Wat Prasingha, Wat Suan Dok & Wat Chet Yot. Of course there was the obligatory handicraft (bought 2 bags, one of which I dearly love and use all the time) and then the silk factory (interesting to see the silk worms and the weaving process, but not tempting enough to buy anything). I was very firm with her ...

... of the journey. The last two days at the hospital have dragged on a bit. The days seem to take an age to finish, although Dr Tham gives us long lunch breaks which is handy. We're sick of the canteen food and I think if I eat another curry there it will actually take the inside of my mouth off its so hot, so we went to Pizza Hut yesterday lunchtime and today we went to City Square and I got some sushi. I was feeling adventurous and got some octopus as one of ...

Johor Bahru

... emang pusatnya kalee ya, sebab kan rata rata dvd bajakan yang beredar tukh dengan teks bahasa melayu. hehehehehe. Cuman mahal ya bow. sebiji 6 RM. wiidiiiihhh! di Glodok mah udah dapet 2 tukh! Enaknya, disini kita bisa dapetin barang yang sekwalitas di Singapore tapi dengan harga yang lebih miring sedikit! Mungkin Johor Bahru bisa dijadiin sampingan kalo masih ada waktu di Singapore dan nggak tau mau kemana lagi.

Oops...wrong day!

... We get on the flight at the very last minute and head to an uncertain future in Sandakan. Our diving is scheduled for the next day in Semporna and there's no way to know if we can get there. On the flight I met some interesting fellows from France. Sitting beside me was "Slim", a French guy getting his MBA in Singapore. He was so nice...definitely not your stereotypical French person. Of course maybe he thought the same of me! In ...
