Lychee Salad (with Pesto)

While staying in Bon Ton Resort, we met a couple from Singapore. Nina, the wife of a Dutch expat, is a really good cook. She made a request in the resort to cook in the resort's kitchen. She was given an entire kitchen of her own with resort staff to help her with preperation work as she created an original menu that was sampled by the 2 lady-owners of the resort.
Bon Ton is such an amazing resort that they go all out of their way to help you create a wonderful vacation.

Donna Ong


I love Donna Ong's works.
She haunts...
She doesn't just create art,
she creates atmospheres.
It is like a haunting reminder of a bad dream
that you can't help but want to recall
over and over again
over and over again.

Monyet Thanks Greg...

Thanks Greg for the postcard from Belgium.
It was a wonderful Surprise!
Hope you have a great time in Stuttgart!

The Fisherman's Friend

When Owen & I Went Fishing...

Owen and I tried to fish from the shore of the Island of Rebak - one of the islands of Langkawi.
Rebak is Resort and Marina on an island only exclusively accessible by private boat or the hotel's private boat transfer.

The resort arranged and prepared our rods, bait and extra tools as well as a golf car to take us to the perfect spot for some fishing.

We had a rough start.... but it turned out to be better than we thought!







Total Score:

Andrea : Owen
5:1

BON TON - TEMPLE TREE Langkawi

Bon Ton and Temple Tree are made up of several exclusive 100-year old villas and houses.
This resort is truely unique and is one of the most beautiful places to be.
Bon Ton was ranked one of the
Best 101 Hotels in the World by Tatler Travel Guide UK 2009.
---
One of the 3 pools in the resort.
The resort has personal service beyond any 5 star hotel.
This place is one of the places everyone must visit... at least once in their lives...
but one stay will never be enough...
---
Cats reside comfortably with the guests.
This is Tiger (we named him), one of the "Pool Cats".
The resort also includes an animal shelter where they take care of animals and help with animal adoptions.
This place is paradise for animal lovers!
---

Nam Restaurant is one of the best on the island.
Their desserts are really good and they make their own
Gula Melaka and Coconut ice creams.
The best place to just sit back with a few drinks and great company!

Colonial House - Temple Tree
We stayed on one of the 4 suites in this house.

The interior of our suite - Colonial 3.

Impatient Photography


Any impatient person's dream!
I am a fan of almost everything instant...
This backing works better with the Diana F+ because the film works better with higher exposures.


Beatrice just got the White Fuji Cheki 7.
Another awesome toy...
