Thanks to CL’s mouthwatering post, I headed over to Maurizio’s spiffy new pad for lunch yesterday. It was great to catch up with Maurizio who was in KK for the last couple of years, running his Bella Italia eatery. I get the feeling Villa Mauri is gonna be a hit among the local foodie population, especially with the good-value lunch and dinner set menus, which makes a good Italian meal quite affordable.
This comment in the chatbox made my day:
HDM: Dear AB, just to let u know that ur website has helped me in numerous occasions, eg. tel nos, reviews, and for that i would like to say A VERY BIG THANK YOU! u r a lifesaver (or make- life- simpler)
Thank you very much indeed HDM for those kind words. Its heartening to note that this site is of some help to its regular readers. Its these sort of comments that motivate me to do what I do 
Public speaking is something that many people have a distinct fear of. The anxiety people feel when faced with the task of speaking in front of a group of strangers can be debilitating. I was very fortunate in this sense because I was exposed to public speaking from very early on in life. In school, I was often picked to represent the school in various oratory or debating competitions. This early start has helped immensely in overcoming any fear I have of speaking in public.
My deepest condolences go to the families of the victims of yesterday’s
unfortunate incident in town. AL-FATIHAH.
These days, most of my sunset shoots involve couples very much in love, about to be or newly married, and I needed a break from that so yesterday, on a spur of the moment, da fam and I headed to the Jerudong fish markets to catch the happenings there. It was a nice little outing and at the same time, we got some fresh fish as well!
I lived most of my early life next to the sea… sometimes I miss the smell of the ocean
Sunsets by the sea always bring out a sea of emotions…
The fam and I hadn’t been to Saffron in aaages so two nights ago, we trooped over to try out the all-you-can-eat promo. At first it was a bit confusing, but after some explanation, we finally got it. You get to order unlimited refills of whatever dish you order individually, but if you order dishes to share, you get to refill once only.
We decided to go with the latter strategy, i.e. ordering dishes to share. We ended up ordering quite a fair bit, and by the time we were done with the first round, we were too full for seconds heheh! So I reckon the trick is to order just a few dishes so that you have room for the refills after that. We’ve yet to try this strategy… perhaps during the coming weekend

These pics were taken by Nia who was also in town yesterday as part of her school’s contingent. Cool pics taken by a young lady who is developing quite an eye for photography. I likes
Pics taken during a family dinner at the new Nasi Kandar joint in Beribi, Kayu Nasi Kandar. Kayu is a popular franchise in Malaysia and I’ve visitied some of their outlets in KL and PJ. The secret is in the “kuah campur” which makes the nasi so appetizing. Then of course there’s the lauk which is cooked penang-mamak style to complement the nasi. In a nutshell, its YUMZ. But cannot indulge too often lah… heheh

Mouth-watering innit? It tastes as good as it looks!
Pics below were taken during the June birthday bash at the BIL and SIL residence in Tutong. There are so many birthday celebrants in our family for the months of May and June I’ve actually lost track! Anway, I wasn’t able to attend as I had the Saiful Nang workshop on that Sunday. Pics were taken by Nia and da missus
Nia’s getting quite creative with her shots…
