Back to the UK

Took the liberty last weekend to fly from Frankfurt to Manchester using Lufthansa to visit a good friend and colleague of mine, Ir. Dr. Marc Pijnenburg and his wife Rose Musah-Pijnenburg. He was working together with me for a good 3 years in Malaysia, flying to-and-fro from Holland. Now he works in the UK, but still flew to-and-fro to various countries.

I haven't seen them for 3 years already, so it was a good trip. Spent two nights in their 4-bedroom bungalow in Chester. It's a huge house by British's standards, with an even bigger lawn.

As for me, I haven't been back to the UK since 2000 after graduation, so it's nice to be there, catching familiar sights and sounds of the country.

Also managed to see our niece, Jalwaa, at the airport before going back to Frankfurt. She is studying in Manchester for her engineering degree. Didn't know that in Man Uni they have 60 Bruneians studying there now. Sixty! That's like a lot!

Oh well, back to work in Frankfurt then.....
