Finland/ Aland

Jan's home. Love this place. He's a man who keeps a low profile which does not match his position.


Aland Park. I was told that they had planted 1000 tress which connects one marina bay to the other.


At Peter's home. It was a barbaque which turned to fine dinning!!!


Me, Dino and Bella on full swing.


Jan, Dino, me, Bella, Peter & Hazel(new wife) and Fee.

Fee, Marie (Peter's ex wife) and Faisal aka Mr Bond...Bonchit!!!


Jan, me and Fee..killing time for the ferry to Aland.


Gorgeous sights on board the Viking Line ferry to Aland.

In the office.


Getting ready to ride the horse....ya rite!!!!

Soberton & London ~ Bits & Pieces

OMG!!! He's all grown up and soooooooooooo handsome!!!! Thats Kieren. He's a real darling!!!!

His mother bobby Loiusa. Yet to take her pic in the police officer uniform.

Sean giving his "lil" brother a kiddy ride..LOL!!! Sean complained that the cramps he got on his thighs were not worthy!! If it was Lou..it wld have been different, he said. LOL!!!

The handsome bellman at Charring Cross Hotel....I think he's gay. All good looking guys are!!!!

Lunch at the Hurdles, just 15 minutes walk from home. Jeff and Anne Barnes joined us and as usual, wherever we go...our table would be the noisiest one. So you may have to count us out if you to have a fine dinning...hehehe.

Me & grandad George. He gave me a nickname 'Trouble" Love this old guy to bits!!!

Oyster Keys where Bob has work contract. My suggestions to go there as he took me there last winter and the place was in a way deserted. Pretending to pick a yatch as they are absolutely wow!!!

A simple lunch with Bob making faces.

Birthday boy cousin Clint feeding his wife Lou pigies!!!! She was pinching on it everytime as she carved it. Those who don't take that had beef patties, beef sausages cooked on a separate pit.

Sean's new gf Lou.

Soberton ~ 28/06/08

Weather was fine and the 2 newbies goons was amazed at the longer day light as it gets dark only at 10pm. But we are after all on the country side so there was not much entertainment for them. So Bob took them for walkies with the dog Jake. Attended a birthday bbq for my cousin which was really fun. They had a whole suckling pig roasted in a bloody big portable bbq pit. Our side of the fam was the jovious and the noisiest. Sean gave Clint which weighs 15 stones a horsie ride and everyone laughed like mad. It was really good to see Kieren as he had grown up. The last time I saw him was xmas 2006. He's so good looking. I was looking foward to see Daniel but he was already at another party but I really do hope see him before we leave so I can update DDD...hehehe. Sean had lost so much weight and he's dating again which is good. I became the counselor again but happier conversation this time. He finally grew up. Another news I heard was the ahem handsome neighbour..coz the last I heard was that he's meeting the parents of his new gf. Had teased him that day 2 years ago. Mim told me that he had broke off with her. Had not seen him around though. Clint & Lou are still enjoying their child free freedom. They, along with Jason, Louisa and Sean are coming to sg in August for the Fomula One before heading to Penang. Sean is still bargainning for the percentage and wanting 70/30 profit when I'm selling him over in sg. The reason..he had to do all the "hard work". Bob had made plans to go to Borneo next summer and had already said that I'm booked for the event. I'm rolling my eyes. There was so much complains from the newbies on hving curfews and not so much freedom. I am so bloody used to it. Faisal cld not really understand what Bob says as he has this deep english accent and all he does is smile like a clam even if he was scolded..LOL!!!! i'll put up pics soon I guess. Got loads of them!!!

Flight SQ 318

It was definetly as how I have felt or mentioned it. I know that SIA's standard of service had dropped and I do see why. It's hard to
believe SIA's plane having any problem...well except for the Silkair incident of which the rumors has it that the pilot had decided to
take everyone with him to his so called depression mode. Like I said it's rumors but it cld be anything. Anyway...so here we are "3 Goons & A ..Ahem Lady"
aka known to be like "3 men & a baby" in the airport to catch our flight to London which suppose to take off at 1250hrs. It's a full flight
on that plane with loads of ppl headin home and like us some for business. How would your reaction be when this announcement came up...
"Ladies and gentlemen, we regret to inform you that the flight SQ 318 will be delayed. We have a technical problem as we found that the 1st engine
is out of order. We are now looking for another plane to substitude. We will keep you inform for further information." I would have
prefered that they did not mention what was the technical problem. Go on..keep me in the dark...I don't mind as long as it's not while I am
in that flying can thousands of feet above the ground. When they announce that they have another plane it'll be from another gate and different boarding time.
So they are offering us free lunch which I doubt is exactly free coz we paid for it..but now we have more varieties to choose from. Our new flight
is to leave at 1500 and we are to go to another gate at 1430 latest. So the 2 of the 3 goons decided to go for cigarettes and found a bar with pool
table. I don't want to say anything as I couldn't be bothered. There's not much time and yet...nvm!!! Had gone to the chains of so called restaurant..
Delifrance, Indian Foood, Chinese Food, Thai Food, Burger King to choose from. Had thought delifrance wld be ok but the waitress said we'd get
our food like 45mins as they have loads of order. Looking at the crowd..I understand and time is not what we have at hand. End up having vegetarian
Indian food which turn out to be quite nice and the old ladies attending to us was superb!!! While eating..the SIA ground staff approached us and
told us that we have only 50 mins to eat and also told us of the new gate. The other 2 goons were hailed using the latest gadget (mobile) and they
came in abt 10 mins later. Told of the limited time and they went to order some food consist of dishes which one have to wait. So it's not really a
surprise on why I named them goons. We evenrually went to the gate at 1450 and had to wait some more. An annoucement apologising for the delay
came on air saying the plane is not able to be boarded as they are cleaning it at the moment. 10 mins later they announce again thatbthey are still cleaning
it. 15 minutes later they announce that they are doing security sweep. We finally get to board the plane at 1530hrs. Took off at 1600 hrs. All
arrangements have to be altered for we have booked Jeff...our regular cab driver in UK . The service on board was to really die for and I really
mean I wanna die!!! The petite butt wiggling, shinny glossy red lipped stewardess was a sore eye. She don't even look at you when she serve
the meal. Our row had already finished our meal and she was, "We have seafood pasta, beef stroganoff and yadda yadda yadda. What wld you like?"
When I gave her the raised eye brow she went.."Ooh ooh...Someone must have taken off the sticker from your chair." Ya rite...
13 hours was no joke at all for anyone especially for smokers. I'm with ashtrays who needs constant nicotine. Fidgetting on their seat every 5 minutes.
Withdrawal syndrome. I told one of them that if they are so desperate for it..they shld have asked for a seat on the wing. Just tie em up with masking
tape and they can smoke all they want. Hehe. I finished the book which I took along, Full Moon Rising and I really enjoyed it. I always have fascination
for werewolves and vampire. Anyway when we reached our destination..the captain apologise as they cld not find the manning guy for the gangway. Next he said
the weather is clear but cloudy. Almost everyone went "BAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Finally we are on the ground. The 2 goons were really desperate for nicotine that they had
gone to the loo to have a quick puff. Thank god we didn't get into any kind of trouble. Once outside, a group of ladies asked if they can buy 2 stick of ciggy from us
and wanted togive me 2 quid but I turned the money away and just gave em about 4 sticks. Bill took over Jeff's place to ferry us to the Gobles so all is well.
