Will meet at 2.30pm at the same barbecue area. Holland area.&nbsp;&nbsp; Jocelyne has volunteered her house for the meeting if we so prefer, depending on the number of people and the weather. <\/p>\n<p>I have a friend who will be joining us for the meeting and he will be glad to share his experiences about owning and renting out your condo in Pattaya. He currently owns 2 units, one he bought earlier for his own travel use, as he has a business there in Thailand.&nbsp; He later found&nbsp; that is was vaible to buy another to rent out as an investment, bought at $45,000 (S$) for a studio unit. <\/p>\n<p>He has plenty of advice to share, and can tell us more also about the foreigner home scheme and why it may not be right or what to watch for.&nbsp; He also has advice on how to stay legal and to be protected when owning a property in Thailand, as he has been in and out of Thailand for almost 15 years. <\/p>\n<p>Secondly, after the meeting, Jocelyne, has kindly also offered to conduct another preview of her art and hobby to share her joy and introduce others to this hobby of procelain painting.&nbsp; I myself and Christina ahve enrolled in her class and must say , it is something i find interesting, unique and something that&nbsp; opens up a new interest which is rewarding in many ways, to me. I have travel quite a bit, and find that maybe painting the pictures of beautiful places that i have been on procelian adds a new kind of dimension as a sort of documenting my past, my beautiful memories and hopefully leaving a loving legacy behind .&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>I have painted 2 plates, one small and one large, maybe can show them to you all (provided Jocelyne agrees to it,pendings teacher&#8217;s review ). I have discovered i like painting scenery of Par 3 holes of famous golf courses , that i have played and will play hopefully in future. I find that it does give a totally different kind of satisfaction to other type of painting, as it is easier&nbsp; to display your plates of keep it or even use it and there is no need to add frames unlike canvas paintings.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>3. Lastly , let us make it an enjoyable meeting , if not just for the sake of having a chat, maybe sharing some good tibbits if anyone wants to introduce any baking skills, or foodstuffs they have of their travel ? As i will be going down to Malyaysia, will get some tidbits to share also.&nbsp; Terenece , now that i now of your Tiramisu skills , i am almost drooling about it, hopefully , dont have to die waiting for it.&nbsp; About bread making ,i did it before using the bread machine when i was in&nbsp;&nbsp; USA. I must say the joy of being awaken up by the smell of fresh bread makes you just want to jump out of bed , and the taste is defintely different from gardenia. Fresh bread, timed exactly to be eateh, is warm, moist ,fragrant and almost melts in your mouth, along with a cup of coffee , expresso also from a coffee making machine, brewed fresh. <\/p>\n<p>Cheers, Ronald Wi&quot;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronald Wi is organising the follow-up meeting on Sat, 2nd Dec.&nbsp; If you like to join in, please add your name in the comments so that Ronald is aware.&nbsp; We will send you the address via email.&nbsp; Terence Seah &quot;Just to update everyone on the upcoming meeting on the 2nd Dec.
