I had a pleasant dinner tonight with the people who live in the apartment above me. We went down to the waterfront, ate kuey teow at a table under a tree as the sun set over the bay and the water lapped a few feet away from our feet. Oh, how I am going to miss this place.

Tomorrow I have to fly back to Kuala Lumpur for a one day meeting at a Federal Ministry to present a project paper – the project that took me gallivanting to all those national parks, remember? On Tuesday, I return to Sabah. Which is pretty ridiculous when you think about it. Five hours flying time there and back, just to attend one meeting.

The photo was taken underwater by my husband at Sipadan Island. I was going to post one of me snorkelling, taken from below, but he deleted it first…hmmm. Was it really that bad?
