I'm bringing you a video of the Haji Ahmad area of Kuantan. This video is amongst some recently new shoplots which have been built up just around the corner from my house. Hope you enjoy it!

Not Enough Hours in the Day
Yesterday was Monday, and I LOVE Mondays!
Monday is the traditional start of the working week. And for me, there is nothing better than work. It keeps us busy, it keeps our minds active, and brings satisfaction at accomplishing things.
Yesterday we were very busy, as we are today. We are finalising all the preparations for our English Workshop at Vistana Hotel Kuantan on Saturday. We have plenty of activities lined up for the two and a half hour Workshop.
The last activity is going to be a treasure hunt. We need to prepare the function room in advance so we can hide clues.
So, if you'll excuse me, I have a bit more work to do!
Wishing each and every one of you a successful and prosperous day!

Blog Flashbacks Saturday
Wishing everyone a great weekend! Are you doing anything special?
Today sees the return of the popular Blog Flashbacks after a long absence. Today we'll be flashing back to March 2011 and March 2010.
From the first week of March 2011, I blogged about some interesting blogs I had come across. Click here to see the post. Have you visited these blogs? Followed them? Found anything of interest to you there? I also shared 7 facts about myself in that post. So for those who are curious, go and have a look!
In March of 2010 I shared with you the orchids which were growing on my balcony.

Batu Hitam, Kuantan
Batu Hitam is the name of a beach in Kuantan.
It translates as "black rock" and you'll see why it's named that soon. We went there for the first time recently with a couple of our neighbours.
I wanted to collect a load of seashells to decorate our living room (which I accomplished) and also to go and see the black rocks which it is famous for.
Batu Hitam is located further north up the east coastline from our usual beach visits to Teluk Chempedak. Still, Batu Hitam is only an extra 10-15 minutes drive.

Here come the black rocks covered with golden remnants of seashells
There were a number of people fishing here at various points along the coast
It appears that the black rocks are lined with treasure!
Here's a small collection of some of the shells we discovered:

A-Z challenge is a month away
Good day to you all and welcome to my post. I hope you will take some time to view the short video of my return home which took place yesterday. I've been busy cycling around for the last couple of days, trying to get some things done in relation to our company Horne Learning Services.
The A-Z April blogging challenge is now just a month away. In 30 days the alphabet soup will begin in the blogging world. I've been following the increasing numbers of people signing up for the A-Z challenge on the linky list which I've added to my blog beneath all my posts. There are currently over 800 participants signed up and I'm sure there will be 1,000+ before April 1st comes around. I'm at #387 on the list.
Those who were visiting my blog this time last year will remember my A-Z April blogging challenge. I really enjoyed it, although it was at times hectic, but I made it through the month.
This year I have already begun preparing my posts in advance, and they are shorter in length and all based on a specific theme, which I won't be revealing just yet! I believe it will be a case of "the shorter the better" when it comes to the challenge itself. There will be hundreds and hundreds of bloggers all trying to visit each others blogs and I'm guessing the shorter posts will receive a lot more comments, recognition, new followers etc etc.
If you haven't signed up for the A-Z April blogging challenge, you can do so right here on my blog at the linky list beneath all of my posts. Keep scrolling down and you'll get there!
If you have signed up for the A-Z April blogging challenge, have you decided on a theme? Or will it be random? Have you begun preparing posts in advance? Has it been tough thinking of what to do?
