Tornado....




Look where Mi starts work next week ... =D
The picture above was the tornado seen from our office window.



The following pictures were taken by a friend that lives close to the beach and 2 blocks from us (I marked on the pic above)... Enjoy !





The wonders of living in Asia. ;-P
Ps... I know it's a water sprout but tornados are way cooler and more exciting to talk about. Kindda sad that I was in a meeting and missed it. Frikin meetings .... grrrr

Sibu and BIG NEWS !


Last weekend we headed to Sibu again for a 3 day long weekend. We had a blast there again and did quite a bit of sailing on dinguies(Escapes).I was teaching Mila how to sail and by the end of the second day she was quite confortable sailing by herself doing tacks, jibes and trimming the sail quite well.

Most of the weekend was spent relaxing on the beach, reading books, eating and playing cards. Nice way to relax.

The group this time was awesome as always... Ben Huber(swiss) and his girlfriend Adel(singapore), Didier(colombia/denmark) and Ali(Jordan) with me and Mila ... Unfortunately we did not take any group pics this time.

The place we stayed (Sea Gypsies) was not the best one. The hotel was good but the rooms had cockroaches and the service sucked unless you had an all inclusive package. Next time we are planning on staying on the Sibu Cabannas beside it.

Again it's worth mentioning Sibu does not stand close to Tioman standards in my opinion as the water is not as clean and the options are very limited to the different resorts wich makes the trip a lot more expensive.

Next trip shall be Pulau Aur scubadiving or Pulau Rawa wich is supposed to be an amazing place.
The BIG NEWS now are ..... (drums).... Milena got a job as an Industrial Psychologist at Fedex here. The job seems really cool and it's one bloc from my office... we are both very excited with the job and think it's an awesome step for her carreer.
