All packed

Shirts. Checked. Tickets. Checked. Passport. Checked. Laptop. Checked. Camera. Charged. I'm all set for tomorrow. Managed to get some Singapore Dollars exchanged earlier in KLCC as well.

I planned to have breakfast with Anita after sending the boys to school. I will have to be at KL Sentral by 10, likely checking in from there before taking the ERL as I often do. I should reach Singapore by 1, which leave me plenty of time to check in and read the documents before the meeting at 5. Now, shall I sleep or should I watch some movies?...

A Quick Date

Since coming back to Malaysia, we have always made it a habit to go out on the evening prior to me traveling abroad. It would be too far this time. I'll only be heading to Singapore, but when I return, I will need to be in Ipoh for Monday and Tuesday. So a quick stop at home before driving up North.

We had dinner at The Apartments, before going for a quick shopping around Isetan. My flight will be at noon, after which I have meetings starting from 5pm. Will blog from the hotel lobby's free WiFi.

More glimpses

According to my father-in-law, a military man himself, homemade soap was a treat in MyanmarYou read it right. It was 'Spirulina Beer'. Any excuse to get drunk while taking in something possibly nutritious.Each symbol on the Buddha's sole mean something. Unfortunately, I can't really make out what it said on the chart next to it.More shopping!Me at Shwedagon. Barefooted of course.Every frame tells a story. Or two.I was sure these decorations carry some significance .....Yangon has transformed over the years. The building on the left was the hotel we stayed while at the ground floor of the red building opposite housed a cinema. It was showing Gulliver's Travel and some Hindi movies then.Colonial architecture still fill the city

Addicting

Anita was never that big a game fan but she finally caught up with Angry Birds. Oh! my God! She was up until 1 am last night. As soon as I arrived she just could stop talking about it. She's downstairs at the moment. Wonder what she is up to?

Glimpses of Myanmar

I wished that I brought my 7D along, but the photos coming out of my trusty LX3 wasn't too shabby either! Here they goes;

Paying tribute and prayers - at the Chauk Htat Gyi temple

Prayers offered took many formsShwedagon - with its gold-plated templesThe famous Bogyuke Market - here my colleagues were doing some bargainingThe place was filled with ornaments made from semi-precious stonesAlthough I really can't tell the differenceSee no evil, hear no evil, say no evilAnd the street markets were lively tooPopcorns!
