A few days R&R out of town.
Decided that I needed to get away for a few days, and also wanted to pop across to Singapore for some tattoo touch-ups, so I rode down on the freshly serviced Flying Banana at speeds that we won’t mention - KL to JB in 2 1/2 hours *cough - and stayed at the Sofitel golfing resort that I mentioned in an earlier post.
So relaxing in fact that I ended up extending and staying 5 days, just chilling and watching inept golfers swinging clubs and hitting balls into trees. 
Nice place, recommended for a peaceful well run hotel/resort, and reasonably priced, especially if you book through Expedia (which I use for booking everything, worldwide - simply the best and most convenient service on the web IMHO) and a damn sight cheaper than staying anywhere in Singapore itself.

Nice, spacious rooms
Looking for the balls, LOL!
Great blog! Glad to see it’s still going. I was reading your post regarding collecting bullions (coolest hobby ever), and I feel your pain regarding current gold prices. I don’t own any gold, but I follow finance occasionly; like someone at google saying “oh this company is going no where. i better sell my shares”

Great to see you here, JW, and thanks for the kind words! The old “intensecure” blog was killed off, and this is the newer, “cleaner” version of my history and current life.
Hopefully you will be able to swing by the cafe one day, maybe catch you there

Hey, that sounds like a great place for some R&R! Photos look great, perfect weekend retreat with a loved one. It’s a little too far away from over here though or I’ll be going during the long holidays next month.

Very nice to see you drop in and read my blog, HB. Feels like coming round full circle after many years, if you understand my meaning. And, yes, it is very relaxing, as at least golfers tend to be quiet!
