Malindi and Back

Hello family!

Last Friday left Nairobi to explore a town called Malindi. What do you need to know about it? Sun, Sea and Sand.

It was an awesome beach weekend holiday. Left on Friday night, back on Sunday night. Came back with awesome memories and great photos to share!

Here are some shots of the clear seas which I only thought exist in Mauritius.

See the clear waters, we also were playing around with a puffer fish. Haha. Yes I know, it is the second most poisonous Vertebrate in the world. Oh well, risk a little, live a little.

Only in Africa will they say they are bringing you via a boat ride to BBQ on an island and then when you reach this "island", it's a partially sunk strip of sand that appears when it is low tide. The tide was still high when we reached and we ended up BBQing on a partially sunk island... The BBQ was good though, fish, lobsters, prawns etc.



Either way, it was a great experience and I'm definitely going back there again. I had loads of fun and I love soaking in the sun! And we did quite a number of rounds of snorkelling too. Of course, I paid the price with my sun burnt back! But it's well worth it! The total damage? Flight +accommodation + meals + local transport and entertainment = US400. Haha. Cheap! Shiok ah!



Missing you all very much though and looking forward to coming back on 12th August.

Checking in...

Been some time since I last wrote here so thought everyone might be interested in what's going on with my life. :)

Last week marked a significant milestone for me and my project. We need to pass 5 "milestones" from now until next year April 2012. Each time we pass, we get to move on to the next stage. Our project received an overwhelming 100/100 pass! So that's quite an achievement. Our next review is in September.

At the same time, I also reached my three year mark with my company! My leads were congratulating me and I was quite happy too because of the following reasons:

1) It's rare to see young people stay in Accenture for more than 2 years.

2) Once you pass the 3 years mark, you are not liable to forfeit your sign on bonus if you quit! So you can quit without anything holding u back!

Of course, the leads were not very happy with my train of thoughts. Haha

On another note, it gets chilly here cause its winter now so the temp hovers around 18 degrees, everyday it's jacket with scarves. I love it.

I miss playing music so I went out to buy myself a mini guitar! Check it out, it's a beau isn't it!
