Night Fishing off Tuas

My last Road trip adventure was in Perth, Roslyn and I drive up and along a 17km stretch of sand dunes off Pemberton and cross over to the beach on the other side. It was an adventure we throughly enjoyed. Now its time to embark on yet another road trip adenture. This time to Lijiang China, a total of 8,500km. We'll be travelling with a group of 9 other cars. The oldest driver is 72yrs and the youngest in his late 30s. I'll be taking lots of pictures along the way and blogging it onto this site. Stay tuned, the journey of a lifetime is about to begin....

I've always wanted to journey by car to far off distant places, staring with countries in SEA Asia & China. I've told this to my wife Roslyn many a time and though she knows I'm serious about it, she always shruggs her shoulders believing that it won't happen too soon. Well I was at Susie's home for lunch a few days ago & I saw an article in May/Jun issue of Highway. There on 16 staring loudly at me in bold were the words "Drive of a Lifetime" Auto-Venture to China 4 to 26 Sep 2009. Wow! I read in disbelief of the drive adventure I had always dreamed about. It took me 5 mins to make up my mind that I wasn't going to miss this trip. So it was.... Roslyn & I were heading for Lijiang China on a 23 day journey. We signed up with AA S'pore paid for the trip and ready or not, China here we come....

3 years to go and counting, I'll be sailing round the Islands of Indonesia in the Lagoon 440. Right now I'm working real hard to get the funds.

RIB Sea Trials

It has been quite a few years since my last sea trial as a test pilot for specialized fast craft. I was glad my services were once again being requested. This time it was for a very small RIB, ordered by an old client. Though it was all work and no play for the company representatives, it was just fun for me. I was like the kid with a new toy again and enjoying every minute of the time I spent at sea especially so since the petrol was paid for.

My Dream House

This verse in the bible has intrigued me for a long time. Ecc 10:19 "A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry, But money answers everything" Indeed having more than enough lets you live a very exciting and fullfilling life. There's none of the restrictions that lack & limitation brings. It also much easier to be a nicer person when you have more than enough. The pictures were taken at a friend's place. A private retreat, fronting the sea with its own marina. Fishing is plentiful just a stone's throw away. This is truly the kind of dream house, I've always wanted. Someday soon....... the reality will replace the dream.
