Update for the Sake of updating again

Australia is damn cold so I've been in hibernation for the past week enjoying some peace & quite.

GM has been attending a cultural sensitivity course in Delhi for the past few days, I was supposed to attend also but seeing I'm in Oz that's not possible.

He's updated me on the course events & advised it's all very shallow & basic common sense that they are teaching (I know a few outlaws that need to learn some common sense. lol).

He's also traveled far more than the course trainer so the whole thing sounds like a big fat waste of time, Thankfully the cost of the course wasn't coming straight out of our pockets.

Toto, Were not in Kansas anymore...

I'm back in the land of Oz again, Had a run in with the Wicked Witch of the East along the way, haha (cryptic, I know)

Not much to blog about these days as the new hotel is still under construction & not scheduled to open till July 2008 so no crazy guests to deals with, So I'm killing time in Oz for a month or so before heading back to Mumbai.

Tragic News

We have just got word that a young boy died at Hubby's former Hotel.

The story below is copy pasted from: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/10/3/nation/2176153&sec=nation

GEORGE TOWN: A festive holiday trip turned tragic for a family when a 12-year-old boy accidentally fell and drowned in a swimming pool at a hotel in Batu Ferringhi here.

The boy, had come to Penang with his parents and elder brother from Kajang, Selangor, for a two-day trip on Wednesday.

His father Mr X, 59, said the family started looking for him at 7pm after they realised he was missing.

“I spotted him in the pool some time after 8pm,” he told pressmen at the Penang Hospital forensic unit yesterday, where he was with his inconsolable wife Mrs X, 53, elder son MrZ, 26, and several other family members to claim the body.

Mr X said paramedics in the ambulance tried to resuscitate the boy but failed.

It is believed that the boy slipped and fell into the pool that was closed after 8pm.

His body was found fully clothed.

Police said they did not suspect foul play.
