What a wonderful message Mimi! Thanks so much for sharing this…
hi mimi, hopped over from christine kane's blog, couldn't help reading your childhood story of malaysian pirate? i am from malaysia. strange that i have not heard of the sandokan before.
great blog by the way.
Hi there Mimi… what a neat video… like Alison, I clicked on your link over at Christine's blog… nice site!
@ Alison: hi there. Well I guess Sandokan never really was Malaysian. He is the main character of a pirate series of books written by an Italian author (who probably never travelled there). I did not know that when I was a kid. I was just mesmerized by the adventures, the pirate life and Sandokan (Kabir Bedi's) eyes
@ Lisa: Thanks for visiting. Just went over your site too. Great to have found you.
