Bahapa Kitani?
Sick as a dog and in bed for most of the day. Am up but not feeling any better. Hopefully I’ll be back in gear by tomorrow. Anyway, here’s more pics from the Jakarta escapade.

A quick shout out to these young ladies who are leaving for the UK soon to continue their studies.
Two of them, Rabiatul and Waji, will be heading for Cheltenham Ladies College near where my bro lived when he was studying at Gloscat. Thanks to Rabiatul for the pic 
What an awesome weekend! Goodnight
Warm welcome
Full house at the Gran Melia!
Checking in
Last weekend the Firm organized a morning trek outing to Bukit Markucing or Markucing Hill Recreational Park. The park is about five kilometres from the capital and stands at one hundred and sixty-five meters above sea level.
There are a number of hills in the park and each have their own names like Bukit Nenas, Bukit Cerangin, Bukit Raban Ambok, Bukit Karamunting, Bukit Jati, Bukit Luba, Bukit Markucing, Bukit Sumbui-Sumbui, Bukit Jibus and Bukit Sipinang.
Notice there are no pics of the hills. This is because I took one look at hill number one and made a u-turn… can u spell s-t-e-e-p? To see pics of an actual trek up the hill, click here.
Had I gone up the hill, this is what I would have seen…

Warming up
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…
Wow! What a great turnout for the 5th Abacus Travel Fair! The response just keeps getting better and better every year! This year there were more bargains and more prizes to be won than ever! I’m not sure about the official stats, but I’m very sure there was a record turnout especially since I could not find a parking space in and around the mall area for at least an hour! In the end, I gave up and got da missus to just drop me off Congratulations to Abacus and all its travel partners on a hugely successful event! Look forward to the next one!
Abacus goodies!
3 days Singapore for B$274.00!!!
