Arabian Nite : MD Departmental Emblem 2007

Friday was a busy day. Spent the day helping out with the final arrangement. The evening was a memorable one, with the Arabian theme. Even the MD was dressed up in an Arabian costume, as were most of the guests. Congrats to the Organising Committee for a job well done.Shisha

In the morning I saw this brief visitor who came in, posed for my camera and then left in a hurry. It was slow on the carpet but very swift on the grass. (Which reminds me of the Sukang trip - the need to ensure the car has the correct tyres for the terrain and enough engine power)

Walk down memory lane... (updated with photos)

Had a busy weekend. Saturday night, I was covering the BSRC Berhari Raya event at the invitation of the BSRC President, Hj Idris, with the help of my son Zul273 and BB. (I was the BSRC President in 1999)

Sunday was an adventure day. I went with a combination of a group of 4X4 enthusiasts and 4X4 Professionals to Sukang. What started as an easy journey into Sukang, turned into an exciting and challenging home journey due to the heavy rain. Whilst the journey in only took less than 3 hours, the journey home took about 8 hours for some of the team members.
(I used to teach in Melilas in 1984-5 and Sukang was our transit point and all our journeys was by boat at that time. This was my first return to Sukang since Dec 1985!)

it's raining, it's falling... very heavily
that's not really difficult, but wet
now we're talking! (only the start of more challenges ahead)
