Busy week...I barely had the time to have my last meal with Fizan and Mari (pictured on the left) who in KL till Wednesday. Ambe and Sana had already flown back to Male' on Monday.

Fizan is a prominent member of Messrs Shah Hussain & Co. in Male' and specialises in commercial and banking law, with emphasis on offshore and international loan financing (you can find his name when you click on the link above).

It was rather nice to have my Maldivian friends down here. I still remember the Friday on the week before last when the 5 of us were turning round and round trying to find 'Passage Through India', a restaurant set in the heart of KL near the Indonesian Embassy and opposite RHB Bank, which, incidentally serves very good north and south Indian food...rather pricy though, but it was worth it...

Fizan tells me that he will be completing his holiday resort on an island he managed to bid for recently, located in the South Atoll in the Maldives, by the end of next year...I hope to be there in time for its opening to be one of the first patrons of the boutique resort...

I relished the thought of returning the visit Male' next year, even before I landed at KLIA early this month. I really miss the place...and most importantly, the people...
