Thank you so much for your support and...Dear <b>Keats</b>,<br />Thank you so much for your support and kind words! We had a great time in Bon Ton and rather miss the animals now. <br /><br />Am so glad your first impression of my Special Someone is such a positive one. He told me before the AGM that he is proud of me for being who I am, no matter what position I am holding, and that means more to me than anything.<br /><br />Your encouragement means a lot to me, Keats. I happened to mention to my parents in passing today that I am now the Vice Chair of MNS Selangor. Their response?<br />"Don't take it up, you won't be able to do it."<br />"You will fail."<br />"You had better tender your resignation."<br />"Just tell them you can't do it".<br /><br />Wow. I wonder if it would kill them just to say: "Okay, do your best."<br /><br />And they wonder why I never tell them anything.<br /><br />Still, at least I know I will never run out of negative vibes as long as my parents are still around. Not that negativity was ever in short supply.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-6266086720285747592010-07-28T22:34:25.739+08:002010-07-28T22:34:25.739+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17272333503136774741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-53877145164754448222010-07-28T22:34:06.620+08:002010-07-28T22:34:06.620+08:00Glad you had such a wonderful time.

I'll bet you enjoyed having the cats roam all over the dining area while you were eating. Remember how we used to play with Mahsuri and make her sit in the hammock in Nature Owlet?

Thank you very much for your feedback....Dear <b>Louis</b>,<br />Thank you very much for your feedback. I too would imagine that if Pak Idrus were to set up an eco-resort in Cherating, it would look a hang of a lot like Bon Ton. It's so airy and cool in those wooden Malay houses.. who needs air-conditioning when you have Mother Nature?<br /><br />I suppose watching Caucasian tourists pay money to try their hand at harvesting paddy is no more laughable than watching us Asians go crazy over snow and stopping by the highways to pluck crab apples and wild berries in North America.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-18948153482334899322010-07-28T17:27:30.506+08:002010-07-28T17:27:30.506+08:00Ooh, I did dine and Bon Ton but I didn't reali...Ooh, I did dine and Bon Ton but I didn't realise that the buildings in front of it was an animal shelter as we went at night.

Then when I got to the comments, there he was saying as much! <br /><br />Oh well, I'll say it too.<br /><br />I must confess to having been one of those tourists at the rice museum who would have amused you had you been a spectator there many years earlier. I wasn't planting paddy though, my job was milling the rice on a primitive hand-powered (or foot-powered) mill, so I escaped the straw hat.louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724442924909561263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-22648156213885812122010-07-28T12:47:31.551+08:002010-07-28T12:47:31.551+08:00Dear Pak Idrus,
