Meanwhile back at the ranch.........


The family home is in an affluent hilly suburb of the south east asian metropolis Kuala Lumpur.

A six bedroom two storey bungalow on a hill. The other family home is far away from the city, near a slightly quieter but newly planned and developed city by the beach. This is the weekend house, where we grew up and now where we gather for important events.


This is about my family. The most precious thing to me.

My father is an extremely busy man- he's in the newspapers almost every day.
He got to be the kind of successful man that features in magazines, the kind of man people address by his Malaysian honorary title (honorific titles bestowed by the King of Malaysia), the kind of man people immediately recognize... all because of his drive, determination and hard work. I don't know how he keeps up his schedule- he flies across the country (please note that Malaysia has an EAST part in Borneo and WEST part that the rest of the world knows as Malaysia) several times a week and always manages to squeeze in a game of golf here and there.
My mother is a fun loving lady. She was an English teacher in a well-known Catholic school in Kuala Lumpur, has been always active in charity and events.
My sister is a busy corporate type in an international company. She is smart, attractive, single and successful. She's also got an amazing sense of humour. We are only a few years apart and we're very close.
My brother- he's a guy who gets along with everybody and everybody wants to be his friend, getting his Masters degree in the UK. He is highly intelligent, analytical and cautious.
