Singapore Sling

End of week 1 in a two week company training course – leadership and strategy.  Staying at the Rasa Sentosa Singapore. Not much time to look around. Full-on days from 8:30am – 6:30pm. We had a fantastic lecturer/facilitator, Bill Fischer, who happened to be a Yankee’s fan. Had fun checking the Yankee’s series during the [...]

The last leg!!!!

Arrived at KL this afternoon… and almost predictably, my immigration  experience at KLIA was a facsimile of rush hour traffic … loads of people queued up and inching slowly forward.  A potpourri of Malaysian visitors from Republic of Yemen, India, US, Taiwan, Commonwealth countries, Japan etc.  Luckily I got there because soon after me, there [...]

Popping In ….

Haven’t blogged in a while.  Last week was in London for a Global IT conference at the Riverside Park Plaza hotel.  Cost of the conference for two days was 1500 sterling.  Fantastically crazy price.  I’ve been spoiled with the relatively low cost of Asian hotels at 5 star levels.  Riverside Park Plaza was pretty crappy [...]

Fly away ..

Catching up on some blogging now at the Dynasty Lounge in Jakarta international airport before heading back to TPE.  Been on the road now for 8 days, KUL -> SIN -> CGK (Jakarta Airport code).  Glad to have missed the Typhoon up north but the weather down here has not been normal either.  Lots of [...]

SQ876

On the road this morning….transiting through S’pore Changi Airport via SQ.  Yes, Singapore Airline flight attendants are still the best.  Oh, and the flight isn’t so bad so far . Nice long weekend in the hotel doing nothing, watch TV, be frustrated with Godaddy and my SMF website install having problems with the MYSQL connection. [...]

En Route ….. still

I thought after thousands of miles of traveling I know pretty much most of the “finer print” stuff related to travel. I was mistaken. Apparently, under the code “G” for group, everyone under that code must travel together. So in my case, me and my wife with the plane tickets in that group needed to [...]

Changi Airport is awesome

Thanks FC for the nice message. We got out of Typhoon Talim on JetstarAsia, the no frills airlines that reminds me of Southwest. Trip was a bit bumpy but the flight was pretty much empty. B- and I are hanging out in Terminal 1 at Changi Airport which is 24 hours and very cool. It’s [...]

Southeast Asia Travelogue, Part I

Here’s part 1 of the Malaysia travelogue epic. I’ll work on Part 2 soon, as I work off my jet lag. Wednesday, August 25 Depart from JFK to Incheon, South Korea at 11 PM. Departing late from work, P- dropped by to see me off. I got to JFK’s Terminal One in plenty of time; [...]

I’m outta breath

Thanks FC for posting up the pics. Glad your epicurean delights have been satisfied here . Besides HK, NYC, Ipoh has great eats. I think the banquet went well, most people I’ve talked to said it was good. I particularly was happy with the roasted suckling pig! I’ve just barely checked into the Carlton Hotel [...]
