We finally met up with Mr and Mrs Kumar on 23rd May 2009, when they came over for a brief farewell visit to Brunei. We knew they have been extremely busy meeting a lot of friends and ex-colleagues for the past 3 days. We were quite happy when they accepted our offer to meet up for lunch.
After lunch, I drove them to Brunei International Airport. Their flight to Kuala Lumpur was around 8.30pm.
While at the airport, Mr Kumar met another friend. Mr Alen offered to bring us to the Airport Restaurant, which we gladly accepted. We spent almost 2 hours at the restaurant. I learned a lot of things about Brunei from these two gentlemen. Different views give different perspectives of Brunei. Something we don't learn from books.
My wife and Mrs Jai Kumar spent their good times in another separate table next to us.
Time flies so fast and it was time for our guests to check-in. We took some photos before leaving the restaurant.
After working in Brunei for more than 30 years, both of them left Brunei in September last year to live a retired life in Kuala Lumpur. Good luck to both of you. Enjoy your time visiting all the nice places of the world and keep in touch wherever you are. Send us postcards when you travels. We will meet up again some other times.
In the meantime, we are also eagerly waiting for the arrival of our son next week. He will be coming home for the summer holiday.
