Good morning guys and also residents of HG.

A not so cool morning today. Will be going out to the supermarket soon cos' traffic in Sin City can be quite bad during the weekends.


Hehehe. Heard the beaches are very beautiful in Krabi but have yet to be there. Hope the rain will stop soon. Have a nice holiday!

Hehehe. Spending too much time in political folder can be bad for health. Better to be back in LOS thread TCSS.

BTW, what's your location? Still in Baan Pae?

Hehehe. You intend to write a Lonely Planet tour book for LOS holiday destinations arh?

OK lah, once things stablize in JKT, will be relaxing again. Me also now very free cos' second office more or less on it's own liaoz which is no good for my wallet. Too free means spend more money. :(

Guess where this place is....

....have always wanted to own an apartment like this, but price too high. The apartment block in the pic belongs to the very poor in the area.

Free? My work may be very different from yours, you just set up now can be free. For ours we're looking at 3 years per project then can be considered stable. So no hope for me for the next 3 years cos of Jkt. But of course its not just one project, its one after another. I have no wish to retirement anyway, no more excuses to do what I love to do. Hate it one day if got to see face even for a simple golf game if business golf then its totally different, know what I mean? (you can replace golf with anything like arbnam, karaoke, safe house, etc etc)

It's in Winterbourne. Those flats were built in the 1930s.

Hehehehe. No mobilisation exercise in Sin City due to the either "Want to Rain but didn't Rain" or "Rain all the way" or "Rain a little, stop, and then Rain again".

Yeap, weather in Sin City is a little bit crazy now.

Yes, you're correct. There are many such apartments across London. The one in the pic is 224,000 Sterling Pounds per unit. It's their version of our HDB.

The high class type in the same vicinity looks like this:

If you have the money to retire, London is not a bad place. From London, I can take a train and go anywhere in Europe.
