POTENTIAL 'BIGGEST LOSER' CANDIDATE

-

This is one of my few favourite colleagues and his name is Tommy Chong whom I have not met for some good 4 years. And when we met met in last December in Penang, he has ballooned from 250+ pounds to more than 350+ pounds (I can only guesstimate coz my own weighing machine has the maximum scale of 300 pounds only).

To all nice single ladies somewhere out there, hate to tell you gals that he is already taken coz good natured man like him is far and few between. Without divulging too much, he is currently in the service line. Pole-for-pole, if we think his 'better half' is just about as big as he is, you are utterly wrong for she is a slim & slender lady and a beauty too. Obviously, he has to work doubly hard to WOW her and her parents & relatives over with his GOD-SEND gift of the gap, a lethal weapon of his to say the least.

To rebuke common norms that big (fat) people are only interested in feasting big time and nothing else, our Tommy has (in between feasting though) other hidden talents too. With his artistic imagination, he can quickly transform a nondescript room into a showroom piece of work without the real need of a a major upheaval that could cost tonnes of money. He simply uses orchid petals placed on the bed spread, a borrowed bathrobe tucked nicely at one corner of the bed, two eloquently folded napkins plus a champagne bottle filled with tap water (use fake to save money) & two long glasses and here we are...it is a job well done...but that was for picture taking only coz in reality, one-star room is still a one-star room, period.

I have already nominated him to the producer of the 2nd series of the 'BIGGEST LOSER' game in America and the winner will stand to win US$250,000. This is the last time you guys will get to see our big Tommy in his current frame because once he has returned from America, I will promise to post his new picture for all to marvel over.

Sinking Vessel

-
When I read the news on the recent sinking of a Korean ferry boat, it inevitably jostled my memory back to Royal Pacific which sank on 23 August 1992 near Port Dickson and I was one of the survivors too.  Sadly, there are some similarities between the two ill-fated vessels.  It happened more than two decades ago but nobody seems to have remembered that fateful incident now. I was the operations manager of Starlight Cruises which was the owner and ship manager of Royal Pacific, a 13,000 gross tonnage passenger vessel which can carry up to 600 passengers.  It was a Greek-owned vessel and flying on Bahamas flag.  It was a ferry which was just converted to a full passenger vessel slated to ply in the Straits of Malacca and home-ported in Singapore.  Cruising was at its infancy stage in the late 80s going into the early 90s in Singapore and the region.   It was our maiden voyage where we were supposed to do a 2-night "cruise-to-nowhere" along Straits of Malacca and many trave

Gunung Belumut Climb

Our meet-up group led by Kwan and SP organised a climb to Gunung Belumut in Kluang on 28 August, Sunday for some 23 of us with one dropping out at last minute. As it was an early morning departure at 7am at Woodlands MRT, we (Anna, CK and I) had arranged to spend a night at Dora's place in Woodlands to save all the hassle of rushing from our home. Also, we were expected to stay up late to watch the 'LIVE' telecast of the PE result on Saturday evening till dawn. Everyone turned up on time as Kwan kept reminding all that he was prepared to wait till 7.15am for the last person only. I had fish fillet at Macs for breakfast, so too for Anna, CK and Dora who ordered their own share. When we arrived at the Woodlands immigration, Anna felt faint. She said something in her breakfast could have caused her that. At the Johor immigration, we waited for quite a while for her while she rushed to the toilet. Dora kept her company throughout while we waited in the combi. Fi

Gunung Pulai seen from the south in Kangkar Pulai    Boarding gingerly the monster vehicle after end of farm tour Freshly opened chempedak   Close up shot of the pulasan fruit Fruit buffet for our taking  Admittedly, this is a tour not meant for any typical tourist. One has to love the outdoor, prepared to rough it out somewhat and sometimes, have to get wet to really enjoy the trip. In all there were 42 who joined me for this one day trip up north to Johor. We even had a gregarious lady who flew in from New Zealand to join us. Her name is Alison, a Briton who lives in New Zealand and this is what she has penned after her trip and I quote, " Thanks so much for this great and varied trip Collin. Mountain climbing, pampering, the fruit farm and all the lovely food made for a great day. Thanks for info below Kevin- yes definitely in no rush to eat chempedak again!! Great group and lovely to see so many of you again from previous meet-ups too :-)".
