another durian party at Pulai Springs

I love durian. I can say I am a durian addict. It was fortunate that my visit to Johor this time was during the durian season.  So I spent no time looking for the king of fruits.  Fortunately my host was kind enough to throw a durian party the 1st night I arrived at the Pulai Springs Resort. 

JB here we come

travelling to JB via the causeway is such a wonderful experience.  The roads are wide and fortunately when we arrived in JB the traffic was less hectic.  It was made a lot easier as we were travelling as a VIP, so we were given the VIP lane. On arrival at Pulai Spring, I unpacked my bag and hit to the pool.  I needed the exercise after the durian party that we had last night at the Hotel. It was not that often that you get the MD of a 5 star hotel throwing a durian party for all our delegation. That was probably the best durian party that we had (not that I have too many).  I never knew there were so many varieties of durian..the XO, the Kucing, the Butter, the tembaga and many more..I was eating my heart out so much so that when I hit to the my room I had trouble sleeping because of the heatiness.  My I had to put the AC on full blast and still I felt so hot inside. I could have sworn that if the pool was open that night I would probably be skinny dipping the whole night!

Rainy singapore

here I am in Singapore and its been raining like cats and dogs since the day I arrived.  I checked in at my normal hyatt hotel off scotts road.  This is probably the 10th times I stay here this year..the hotel I must say is as good as ever..but I cant do much with this rain..its wet wet wet outside. wanted to go to the pool but the poolside is under renovation :-(..too bad. so I got stuck at the lounge for hours. I saw a couple of Bruneian oldies and I saw one of them drinking! huh so much for being a muslim in a supposedly Islamic country and they come out from the country they behave like a bunch of birds freed from a cage! shame on you!

off to Singapore and Johor

I am off to Singapore today on a day transit to Johor.  I have not been to Johor for years and I am really looking forward to this trip. I will definitely post some nice pics on this blog.
