Former national cross country athlete, Guylene Duval (36 years old), died this morning while doing her weight training session at Maryse Justin stadium gym (Mauritius). Her body was found on an exercising bench, the neck wedged under a weight lifting bar. An autopsy concluded that she died from “asphyxiation due to neck compression”. This is indeed a sad news.

I took so many gigs of photos and there’s no more space in my D Drive! I need to get another external harddisk soon. Well I’m still compiling the photos and once they are ready I will add some to my Mauritius Gallery 2006 album. In the meantime, here are some of the videos taken during my holidays using my Canon S2 IS . Will upload some more another time.
A view of Mauritius from the top just before landing at SSR Airport (Mauritius).
Well we are back to Singapore and I already miss my parents and lazing on the beach! Do you know that going on a holiday can turn you into a dummy? haha. Two weeks is enough to rob you of any intellectual edge. Yeah 14 days of complete rest can be enough to bring your IQ down by 20 points. That’s why reading a book can be enough to keep you smart 
Well I read this somewhere!
I’m longing for another holiday. The only thing that I had missed while I was away was my cat! I didn’t miss work. Who would miss work!!? Bleah. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I think I will be bombarded with new projects.
Anyway here are some highlight from the last couple of days.
An afternoon at Flic en Flaq beach.
On Monday morning we went to Germain Comarmond Stadium to watch some athletes preparing for the African Championship.
Photo with mauritian top athlete, Stéphane Buckland after their training.
Dear has learnt some few mauritian words / phrases. He heard it from others haha:
Ki to le? : What do you want?
Pas conner : Don’t know
Bon pas bon? : Good or not?
To Toquer? : Are you crazy?
Today dad brought us to Champ de Mars to watch the horse racing.
10.15pm here. We are all in the living room. Dear is writing some training programmes and my parents are watching tv. It’s still early but I am already feeling sleepy hehe. I feel sleepy at around the same time everyday! Tomorrow will be another full day. We are going on an outing with my cousins. Will be visiting quite a lot of places of interests (gris gris, black river gorge, crocodile park etc.) So yeah, gotta sleep early tonight!
So today we went to Shoprite (a big super market) to buy some food stuffs and I had pizza for lunch.
We’ve been going to Mountain Signaux almost every morning. If I’m in the mood to run, I would run up to the top. Maybe it’s about 3 km (?)
Visit my Mauritius Holidays 2006 album (at the end of this entry) for more photos. There are still a lot more that I have yet to add. Right now it’s 10.25 pm mauritian time (4 hrs behind Singapore). Mum, dad and dear are all sleeping. I’m going to bed soon after this! Tomorrow morning if it doesn’t rain, I will bring dear to the nearby mountain. Then we will go to the wet market with mum, followed by a visit to Domaine les Pailles (maybe). Dinner will be at my grandma’s I think! Ok goodnight!
Leaving Singapore
