A Fleeting Memory of Home...
Kuala Lumpur International Airport
6th April 2001

...sitting here in the KL airport, an unexpected thought comes to me. It is actually a memory induced by taste - by a hot chocolate on the table in front of me, that I get a glimpse of my childhood...

...cold wind, tingling skin, running inside after a day in the snow. The heat of the house, & stuffing the tumble drier with our wet winter clothes. Mom, with a steaming cup of hot chocolate waiting up in the kitchen. Chocolate sweetness. Melting marshmallows in the comfort of a winter afternoon... Hmm...

Tila and the air conditioned airport lounge bring me back to reality, as she catches sight of our friends. I stop and charge across the terminal before they jump into the elevator and disappear into the bowels of the airport. What a way from the memories of youth, yet such an exciting way to live as an adult.

Ten minutes later, we are all boarding the airplane on our way to Singapore.

Durian Fun in our apartment in Bukit Jalil

Nirav stopped over on his way to visit Vistara in Perth, which was a welcome surprise - it is always 'nice' to spend time with him. If you click on his name, you will see a little about him, in case you forget who he is.

As you can see if you clicked on his name, he is one of the world's foremost experts on tropical fruit, and a renowned Durian enthusiast.

I know we talked about Durian a little bit during Catherine's stay last month inThailand (go there), however, I have eaten SEVEN since then, and I guess it's about time I had my own say in the matter.

As you can see, the Durian is a spiked fruit. Yes, the spikes hurt! You wouldn't want one dropped on you - I'll tell you that!

Once you get them open, which sometimes is a feat in itself, you find the fruit. Basically you peel them well, it's more like you... pull them open). Move your Mouse over the photo above to see the durian split open...

And I highly recommend you Find our MORE about the Durian in Vibodha's 'Durian Explanation'

A look around KL

~ Chinese Market, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ~

We decided to explore Kuala Lumpur today. Quite and experience I can tell you. From the Chinese Market to Jalan India we walked, and our eyes were full of new images, and our noses full of smells.

The rest of the Month in Kuala Lumpur
April, 2001
Well, most of the time we either work from home (telecommute via the Internet) or travel into the office at Tasik Selatan via LRT (Light Rail Transit). Our current operation is organizing systems and getting those systems working smoothly. We are also holding seminars and organizing the upcoming Boot Camps for our two main courses - Day Traders and Money Mastery.
Towards the end of April, I began to prepare for giving Day Traders Seminars, and have since given 8 or so throughout KL, and Penang, Malaysia and Singapore. The program is successful, and we are looking forward to our first big Boot Camp in the end of May.
