The Tiger & Me

Amazing! This is all I can say. I will post the other photos later as I am now in Taiping.....dad's internet connection is still the most ancient method...dial up...

Kanchanaburi

This is the Felix Resort in Kanchanaburi.

It is next to the River Kwai.

Beautiful surroundings.

Stayed there with Janet, my mum, 2nd, 6th, and 7th aunties and uncles.

There are also some vineyard just outskirt of Kanchanaburi.

Not to be missed.

The Temple of Tigers @ Kanchanaburi

I am looking forward to seeing this at Kanchanaburi on Friday. I have seen the documentary on cable TV and now, being there will be an experience.

Life in KL

( picture contribution by Janet who in turn got it from a friend in KL )

Conversation Between a KL taxi driver and customer :

taxi driver : " Mana nak pergi encik ? "
customer : " Puki Mak U lah ! "
taxi driver : " Wah ! Sudah keluar bahasa kasar sebelum saya cakap taxi fare ! "

Flowers in Bloom....

It is such a pretty sight to have these flowers in bloom at

home. :-)

Terri is gone...

24th June...our beloved Terri died. Mum & Dad was really sad and they couldn't bring themselves to tell us. Hock found out only much later in the week. Terri was about 15 years old when she died, as I remembered her being really small when I first came back from Canada.

She now lies in the grounds across from the house...as dad says..."she is sleeping." A funny dog, as she would be totally fierce with people passing by the house but totally afraid of the garbage truck.

Rest in peace Terri.

While in Singapore

The Invasion ended in Sentosa.

Singapore Invasion

They came, saw, shop and left., pity they did not take Janet back along.

3 Cousins continuing their fun in KL Renaissance

These cousins are inseparable!

3 Cousins at the Taiping Coronation Stream

Having a good splash and lots of fun at a nearby stream (near Coronation Pool). It's Nick & Tim's first experience!

Now for the desserts...

After our Gu Bak Noodles and some shopping, it's time to have our desserts - ice cream! Obviously Doreen is taken by surprise by the photo shot & some one else thinks Tim's ice cream flavor is more tasty!

Our KL Monorail ride & "Gu Bak" dinner

My kids's first monorail ride in KL.... also first attempt at the (most delicious) Gu Bak Noodles located somewhere in Bukit Bintang Area. Looks like Daniel is asking for his third helping & Pat is explaining to us how Gu Bak is slaughtered in KL!!

The Star Wars Trilogy....how it is really is...

Far far away....in the galaxy....there is the Saw Clan....

***************

This is how it all began...

Jedi Peter :

June is here and so i tasted my first durian yesterday at Penang . An update for the durian lovers. Harvest has been slow this season, must be the bats losing th art of mating causing the problem of late flowers. I was at Taiping last weekend and a couple of new things are sprouting up. There is a Taiping Sentral hub coming up minus the LRT, just beside the new Tesco building under construction. Where is this located?.....where the old Istana is, on Swettenhem Road . If i can't locate my mom next time i call home, i will try Tesco! Cheok, have you been preparing your tour itenary to take kai kai the 5 ees who are going to Singapore ,...are they staying all at your place or Gee Ku's place? And,....I was at Jim Boy's house on Sunday picking up Daniel, and in his hall, and wow...Jim Boy has two glass cabinets full of Star Wars memorablia .....impressive ....May the force be with you!

Assam Laksa Anyone?

Back from Redang

I had a nice break on my favourite island and had some great dives. I have now clocked in 58 dives in my log and I am getting better at it.

It was also a good trip as there were only 3 of us divers. Thus, a small and cozy team! Plus, one of them was also an avid beginner in photography....so it was fun. Here are some of the photos and more in my web album.

Flower for you instead, Dan!

Since I just found out that you don't eat durians, here's a flower for you! Happy Belated 34th Birthday again!

Happy Birthday, Danny Boy!

Hope you like durians, Dan! Lost count on how old you are.... so hope 12 candles is a good number !
