2 day trip at Sungei Ringgit

Went Sungei Ringgit and stayed at 2nd Aunty's place. Ate lobster, went to 六湾 to let Mei Jun play sand, and it's really awesome scenery.

Super Cempedak at Aunty's place

Went to Pengerang, my mum's hometown and pay my aunty a visit. Saw this super cempedak - got hundreds of fruits grown all over the tree trunks. Simply amazing.

The changing skyline of Dubai

Quad biking in desert

Quad biking up and down the sand dunes. With 4-wheel-drive trucks whizzing past you within inches. Truly exciting experience.

Petrol in Riyadh

Petrol in Riyadh is cheap - it costs 60 Halala (0.6 SAR) for Grade 95 and only 44 Halala for Grade 91. Strange though there's no RON98 or 97. For a full tank (40 liter) it cost us 24 SAR, or about RM24.

I survived my first sandstorm driving!

Today's Special

On Sunday Marcelo took us to a restaurant in Compound Romaiza, Riyadh. This is just one of the compounds out of the many in Riyadh where many foreigners reside. We all stay in Al-Hamra compound, the site of the 2003 Terrorist car bombing attack.

Had good time chatting and laughing - the guys got their drink fixes.

I can't help but take a picture of the 'Today's Special' outside the restaurant.

Good bye Gothenburg!

The last 4 months have been really fruitful, met some wonderful colleagues and friends. Definitely a very memorable 4 months in my life!

Gothenburg Fets (Gothenburg Kultur Kala) 13th-18th August 2008

For some reasons, I have the habit of being around when the annual Gothenburg fest is held. I was here during 2004, 2007 and 2008. ;) The week-long festival feature concerts, out-door discos, food fest and end with a colourful and cultural-diverse parade.

Mei Jun and her giant friend

Mei Jun and her giant neighbour friend - he's 1 week younger than Mei Jun but looks as if twice her size! Amazing.
