We did some travelling too during raya....back to old home town and had dinner with mom dad and Mike's family. Food was great and dinner venue was 3 shops away from cigar shop..can't remember the name. Mom and Dad are well...






































Down Memory Lane...









Introduced Brendan to icy cool murky waters of Coronation Pool, Ash and Vin came along, had to pay entrance fees of RM2.00 even for non swimmers...anyone want some dip? Notice the tiles..it's renovated..except the source of water.









The old tree in Coronation Pool...beautiful. The orange moss is not photoshopped.

Flying Visit To Scotland




Pics around vicinity of Loch Lomond (R) and me on the garden bench at Annie's home (L)












Got drag to a "Hen Party" where a friend of Annie was getting married soon












At the famous Turnberry Hole #4 which has a magnificent view of the ocean and their famous lighthouse
Picking blackberries found along the roadside all over the place including at golf course too. Had my daily dose of Vit C with these.

Annie's hot number seen here against the backdrop of Glencoe. Very nice views of the highlands and the drive was very scenic
































Taken along the way heading towards Loch Lomond






Golfing at Lochgreen golf course at Troon














Went for a short visit to Scotland during the Raya break and spent 5 days there with Annie and family. I had a great time and many thanks for the warm hospitality and great golf from all in Scotland.

Played 3 days of golf there with Richard and Scot. The views were great and the weather was excellent. Annie kept saying how lucky I was to encounter good weather whilst over there. Wish I could come back and tour the highlands on a bike.
