Alone in Male, Maldives

Dear Reader,

Here I am again reporting my status in Male, Maldives!
Yesterday I took some time off to be alone walking from the North of Male to the South of Male via East of Male, means from Artifical Beach to Vilingi Ferry Terminal via back Marine Area in Male; distance about 3 KM walk from Hotel (half the island walk). It was great seeing the local people enjoying thier day off playing by the seaside, playing cricket, football and several other sport.

Best thing is I saw a fello Maldivian, trying to show-off with his RX-7 by boasting his BOV sound in a less than quater mile straigth road in Male and I just don't understand them; why do they need BWM Z4 Roadster in Male? a S Class Series Mercedes Benz or Toyota Alpha MPV in Male where the land size is only 2KM by 2KM long only ... Somebody please tell me!!!!!!!

Well, the artificial beach located Nothern Part of Male is interesting; is actualy man made beach area for the local nor foreigner to enjoy the sea bathing in Male and to get around. Truly it's a great place to Holiday; I can't wait to visit the Resort Island (of cause not this trip) but I'll save up money for atleast 3 night stay in a exclusive Resort in Maldives withh my love ones.

Right now, just be a good boy enjoy whatever is available in Maldives and waiting time to be transfer to Doha and then back home. Hopefully, I'll be able to make my trip back to KL to celebrate my birthday back home with my family and friends.

Cheers,
Alex Tan

Fourth Day in the Tiny Island....

Hi Gang!

I'm back again with several other update on Male, Maldives.
Well, today is my fourth day in Male, Maldives and I'm already feeling like going home to Kuala Lumpur; why?

The question is WHY? I'm just simply bored with the food here, everything seems to be super expensive from food to water to accomdation. Just imagine I'm staying in a hotel that cost me USD60 per night without much facility like internet, fridge, water boiler and other things. Nevermind, I have faith the lord that my work will be done ASAP and back to Kuala Lumpur to meet all my great buddy and parents.

Well, now I'm in our partner office surfing the internet and working; pretty small place but great office. Well, guess later going to have lunch the same place 'The Carnival" situated near the beach area looking at the wonderful sea and airport view!

My boss, Mr. Sadiq asked me to go Dine More! to try on their Beef Submarine Sandwich! Apprently must be very good, if not my big boss also won't ask me to try ... well will go have a shot on it.

Lastly, amazingly there is a lot sport car around in Male, Maldives. If not mistaken I heard some boasting some this morning from my Hotel.
Cheers!
That all folks.

Greeting from Male, Maldives!
