A Holiday VISIT to Malaysia and Thailand
Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia |
 I
am sitting in the airport with Kathy, who works with us at Mastery
International and we await the arrival of Catherine,
my sister on her holiday to Asia...
I am really excited to see her... a cup of tea later
I spot her coming through the barrier!!!
She is looking great. We come back home and head
to the local restaurant for dinner - we are the only non-Chinese
there and everyone is very friendly it is a Saturday night and
very busy so we have a long wait.

Traveling to Thailand
March
2001 |
| The next day I took
Catherine into town, shopping. In the afternoon, we headed to Subang
Airport to catch our plane to Thailand - Koh Pha Ngan (Subang Airport
was closed permanently in 2002) We will meet Vistara and Nirav at
the airport in Koh Samui.
 Our
plane, right, is very reassuring ...not!
The little Pelangi!
After a 2 hour flight we touch down -
happy to be in Thailand (and on the ground!) |

Koh Samui, Thailand
on
the way to the Island of Koh Pha Ngan
March
2001 |
|  I'm
not so sure Catherine will be as keen to join us on holiday again,
after what she went through. You can see why - including the rain,
sun and beaches - here: Our
week in Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand.
We had to stay overnight in Koh Samui
- the first night as there was no boat after
6pm - that was a fun evening.
We spent a long time laughing as you
can see from this picture of Catherine.
 We
had to take a Plane, Taxi, Boat, Taxi, &
Taxi to get to the bungalow resort on Koh Pha Ngan.
|
|  We
stopped at the Big Buddha statue on
Samui (See map of Thailand),
which is beautiful.
Early the next morning we headed for the boat... which
was an experience. Lots of backpackers all piled in as we head to
the Island.
It was coming up to Full Moon
Party, the time of the month when hundreds of travelers flock
to the Island.
It's not the luxury travel Catherine is used to.
 (We
went to a Full Moon Party back in Feb 2000
- visit that or Jump Directly
to a Full Moon Party (we went to in Feb 1999) )

Enjoying the Island of Koh Pha Ngan,
Thailand
March 2001 |
| We eventually got over to Koh Pha
Ngan & things started off with a beautiful lunch in the port
town of Thongsala.
Me, Catherine and Vistara decided
to head to the bungalows to check in. Nirav and Vibodha stayed to
pick up a few supplies (water and fruit).
 Almost
immediately the rain began. It rained, and I mean rained ...we were
TOTALLY drenched and laughing hysterically by the time we reached
the bungalows.
The locals immediately confessed that
there "hasn't been a drop of rain for
weeks" and they are glad for the rain.
We laughed so hard we were almost
in tears. Catherine travels all this way from Northern Ireland via
Kuala Lumpur (which was sunny when we left), straight into a tropical
cyclone.
The cyclonic weather didn't get much
better for the week of our visit. It turned out to be a freak, unseasonal
Cyclone blowing across from the South China Sea!!
 We
got to sunbathe for about a day and a half - so we had to find other
ways to amuse ourselves. Which we did.
You can see the full adventures and
places we stayed here: Our
week in Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand
We had a thrill that
was for sure...a highly recommended adventure! |

Back in Kuala Lumpur,
a view from the Petronas Towers.
Malaysia - March
2001 |
|  We
get back to KL and Catherine gets a chance to catch up on some sunbathing
at the pool in our apartment complex.
We went sightseeing to KLCC and the Petronas Tower
"Skybridge". I took a few photographs and here they are.
Petronas Towers "Skybridge".
|
 The
same day Catherine flew back to Northern Ireland, we moved houses.
We moved into a flat near the commonwealth Olympic
stadium and it is beautiful - even nicer than the other one.
We overlook a private golf course. The flat is beautifully
decorated and we even have cable TV - so I have the Movie Channels
(4) for the first time ever and I LOVE IT!!
|
It is so peaceful here - no roosters
or barking maniac dogs.
 We
are even happier now.
It is like we have started a whole new experience of Kuala Lumpur.

The Rest of our Month
March
2001 |
| Gerry and Anne came over from Toronto
and we have been busy with our business. We've been holding seminars
and organizing the customer support and liaison systems for the
company.
We have also been doing a lot of Traveling
around South East Asia, to Singapore quite a few times and Penang
as well.
We are flying to Perth, Australia to
do a company tour and attend the
Landmark Forum - which strongly suggest everyone looks into.
Landmark Education has expanded our awareness,
awakened us to ourselves, and irrevocably changed the course of
our lives.
For anyone interested in living a life
of possibility, take a moment to look and see if it's for you. Landmark
Education.
We'll keep in touch. |
