CCBB

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (the musical) has come to Singapore and we saw it at 'the Durian' to support a young relative of the photographer's. She was one of 8 local child actors who supported the London cast, which included Richard 'Someone-or-other' from Rocky Horror as 'The Child Catcher' (a tailor made role for a 'timewarper').

Lombok Triathlon

I haven't been to Lombok for 10 years. It is the beautiful but poor relation of Bali amd I competed in the first Lombok Triathlon - billed as 'the toughest race in Asia'. Perhaps this was ill conceived marketing and perhaps 'most beautiful race in Asia' might have attracted a bigger field. The distances were the same as the Phuket Triathlon (1800 swim, 55 km bike and 12 km run), but the run and particularly the bike were hillier. I finished 2nd in the 45 - 49 old blokes category and won this unique trophy.

Happy Deepavali

Much has happened since my last post - the'festival of lights' for one. In our 'condo' we've celebrated the end of Ramadan (Hari Raya Aidul Fitri), Halloween and now Deepavali in the last month (and the Xmas lights are up on Orchard Rd).
