Coming of age!

My son turned 13 this year. Some photographs of this small step in his life.

 

He has to wear a tie now, so Baba is teaching him where what goes when and how?

 

finally, I have managed to get a knot, bigger than my head!

ready for the first day in high school, I still haven't managed to do my tie up properly nor tucked it in. But I am supposed to be "cool" this way.

 

off to school I go.

 

I am also ready for my first school :)

Nana and Nani stopped over specially to celebrate my birthday :)

 

I wanted to have my birthday as well!

 

Happy Birthday, Dada :)

 

first gift, we got a small crystal Ganesh for his desk

 

I made this blue card specially for you.

 

more gifts piled up

 

here's the infamous guitar!, I look "cool" playing this!

 

ripping up the packaging, its a Nintendo Wii!

 

Now I am off to the laser quest place, and here's my cake. I have no idea why he selected this manky looking cake. We took him to 3 dedicated baking and cake shops around the town, but he decided to back to Marks and Spenser and select this one.

 

Just coming out from the quest

All red and sweaty and with my friends, hi 5's all around!

KL International Airport

On a day trip to Malaysia, I took some photographs of the airport. Mind you, the fact that I was being greeted by "Salam Aleikum" all over the place freaked me out a bit, what happened to Salamat Datang??. But never you mind, those guys are nuts.

Because the answer to all questions is 42 (this is the boarding gate), very funny indeed and also because it has a deep personal link to me :)

Anyway, for the international flights, you land on a separate terminal and you need to travel between the terminals and ground side place on a small train. So I leapt on the front of the train to take some pics.

Light at end of the tunnel.

 
come out in the blinding sunshine

then turn towards the main terminal building, can you see the other train on the left coming out?

 

then the train dips below ground, going underneath the runway

we are now below the runway

come out of the tunnel and heading into the main terminal building. Can you see the top of that building? Where you see the 2 inclined shapes on each side and then a triangular gap in the middle? I have seen that before, and for the life of me, I cannot remember where. It has something to do with ancient times and for some reason, I keep on thinking I have seen that structure in Greece somewhere. Ah! well, I am sure it will come to me. Something like this in Scily.

this is the domestic terminal on the right hand side

heading into the main terminal building

Here's the full slide show.
