Thank you

“I can no other answer make, but, thanks, and thanks.”
~ William Shakespeare
I would like to take this opportunity to record my utmost gratitude to the Ambassador of Malaysia in the Netherlands, H.E. Dato' Dr Fauziah Mohd Taib for her guidance and putting her faith in my abilities.
To all my friends in the Netherlands, it has been a pleasure and an experience that will not soon be forgotten.
To my cyber-friends, who have been sharing my journey and have been a part of my life these past few years, I would like to say thank you for your companionship.
To all the well-wishers, on this fotopages and on my facebook, thank you for all the kind words and encouragements. Your comments have always put a smile on my face and I appreciate every single one of them even though I may not have replied to all.
I'm closing this chapter in my life, but I will be opening up a new page in my next journey and I do hope that some, if not all of you, will be kind enough to accompany me in my next adventure in Denmark.
Salaam, Muna

Empty Nest
|
|
I saunter all about the pleasant place
You made thrice pleasant, O my friends, to me;
But you are gone where laughs in radiant grace
That thousand-memoried unimpulsive sea.
To storied precincts of the southern foam,
Dear birds of passage, ye have taken wing,
And ah! for me, when April wafts you home,
The spring will more than ever be the spring
Still lovely, as of old, this haunted ground;
Tenderly, still, the autumn sunshine falls;
And gorgeously the woodlands tower around,
Freak'd with wild light at golden intervals:
Yet, for the ache your absence leaves, O friends,
Earth's lifeless pageantries are poor amends.
~ Empty Nest, William Watson

My Wassenaar....
|
|
The main street shops
A pedestrian open-air mall where most of Wassenarder make their daily shoppings.
The molen at the corner of the street. The lower floors are often used as an art gallery.
My favourite coffee place.....serving the most delicious appeltaart met slagroom
The Bagel Alley, opens 7 days a week - the place where everybody knows your name.....favourite hangout for kids and parents alike. Probably has one of the best carrot and walnut cake I've ever tasted. The staff are really friendly and always welcome us with a smile, especially the beautiful proprietress, Sonja van Rijn, whom we shall miss very much....
Luciano's italian gelato.....a summer must-have!!
A little gem of a cottage snug perfectly between the shops.....

Farewell Kenduri
|
|
Kak Noriah, chef, caterer and all-round good friend was kind enough to sponsor this small impromtu gathering of friends with her East-Coast specialty "super-duper lekkerste Nasi Kerabu". For us, it was our last chance to have friends over at our place before the big move. And, thank you to Liza for your to-die-for Serawa Pisang.
We would like to extend out heartfelt gratitude and thanks to all our friends that came, even though it was such a short notice and a haphazard one, too.
Thank you Pak Mat and Unc. Joe, orang kuat MA-NL, we'll miss your anecdotes, advices and enthusiasm.
To the Kornets, we hope you'll have a great time in Houston, and, to Azhar, Suhar and family....don't forget us when you're back in Brunei Darussalam.
A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.
~ François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

Danish Design

Mr Dudwey struggling to figure out how to assemble the Danish technology origami-based tape-less packing boxes....
Wassenaar, we have a problem.....
Eureka!!
Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic box-producing man. Mr Dudwey will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.
