Throwback Thursday.

Heeyaa!

Hope your week is good. My uncle sent me this pic he took of me when I was about 8 years old. I remember the day. My parents had just bought their first Helicopter!! They landed it out back of the house. You can imagine my excitement.

I wasn't as happy in the picture because I wanted to go flying immediately but my parents said we had to have lunch first. Which was just a waste of time in my opinion. So I was abit frowny.

But after lunch we had a blast! Of course, first place we went was Narok, to our ranch. Then Rusinga Island to my parent's hotel. We spent the night there and flew back to Nairobi in time for school. I was dropped in school by the chopper. Haha. Oh I went to St. Andrew's Turi, in case you are wondering.

Such a #ThrowBack though! HashTag ForeverRich.

Thats Dad and the pilot behind me.

Keep Winning, Stay Winning.

Out for Dinner.

Heeyaa!

It's been a busy day! Started off at the Karen Country was having brunch with a client of mine. This guy deals in mega transportation. He(or rather his company) has 5 freight ships, two oil tankers. Their ships do transportation of cargo between Africa and Asia. The oil tankers, 1 between South America and Europe, and the other mainly from the Middle East to Australia. This guy seems to have it all. He told me his net worth. I can't even deal. 

Anyways, so I was to meet him at Karen Country Club and have lunch with him as we waited for my parents to come and join us. They had been in Hong Kong. They arrived this morning and were at home freshening up and all, before they came. Yes, when its work time, its work time. I also insisted that they should rest and perhaps take the day off. What! My dad said holidays and weekends are their days off. So I re battled by saying "..aren't you guys sleepy?"
My mom replied, "Emirates were kind enough to ensure that we enjoyed our sleep in our private first class suites on board the A380..." I really couldnt argue with that.

Oh so for those who are wondering, they flew from Hong Kong to Dubai on an Emirates A380, first class as mom has clearly stated above. They then joined some of their business partners in Dubai and flew back together on my moms private plane. (pictures in a future post).

Aaaaaniways, so the parents came, we had our meeting at The Country Club and that was that. The business meeting was quite successful and as a result Alexis had the idea that we should surprise my parents with dinner at Laico Regency, just about an hour ago. They agreed and are getting ready as I write this post,

I had Ronald pull up the white baby out the side of the house,then I gave him the night off. Im driving the White baby, the Rollie, tonight, I'm the chauffeur, Alexis is the Bodyguard and my parents are the bosses, as usual!
Theres the baby,,


Enjoy your night folks,

The Sun was OUT Today

Heeyaa!

So after my rant yesterday about the weather I woke up expecting pretty much the same crappy gloomy weather. Anyways so as usual by the time I woke up it was overcast, something like 16 degrees out and the wind wanted to let me know who's in charge.

Meanwhile, I went for golf with my business partner(check previous posts). Fast track to the afternoon and the sun was out!! Duuuuuuude! I called Ronald to come pick me up, destination- the pool at home! While on the way home, I called up the crew and told them the plan was on- pool party at mine! Alexis called her girls as well. I then called the chef and told him to prepare a feast- the sun was out and we were going to celebrate! Haha.Yupp, that's us, we look for every reason to celebrate and throw a party because trust me, this life can be so stressful, you have to find a way to release that pressure, as often as possible.

We got home in about an hour, Ronald was practically cruising on the SuperHighway and Ngong' road wasn't too bad either. I would like to rant about the new Imposed 50Km/H Speed limit but I don't have time for that.

So I got home and found the crew already at the house. There was chicken on the grill, wine from the cellar was brought up and good house music playing! We got into our costumes and jumped in! It was such a lovely afternoon. We had to milk every last minute of that sunshine.

We also got the rifles out and we were shooting pucks. A little activity I picked up while on holiday in Fort Worth, Texas, last December. You see, the good thing(and maybe bad as well) is that having a large compound lets you shoot guns all afternoon without alarming your neighbours or inviting the cops over. It may be bad cause in the event of a robbery, but.. the way our security system is set up..haha..the armed guards,GSU patrol and above all, GOD watching over us,I think we are pretty safe. :) Alexis told me to avoid smileys but blaaah!

Here are pictures form this afternoon. We're now just chilling in the game room playing pool. I'll post some pics of the home inside later on tonight as requested by Mr. Anonymous haha.
So there is Tom and Talissa. Part of the crew. Which reminds me, I was meant to write a post about my crew, oops. Will do that ASAP. I took this picture with my GoPro Hero 4 Black Edition Camera. Awesome machine

That's Brady and I shooting pucks. The wind wanted us to know 'it was still in control' but the Sun was out and that's all that mattered. I'm in the red shorts and yes.. you may have noticed I cut my hair( because I had a very important business meeting that I told you about already).Pay no attention to the sheep, that's a story for another day

Keep Winning, Stay Winning,

Where we hide every night,

So I decided just to post a picture of our beautiful home from the back. Was chilling alone near the pool and i took this pic just before i went for a dip, the sun was crazy today! But before the picture, just a little bit of facts;

Apart from our home in Karen because we have other homes, one in Malindi,Kenya.(of course, cause thats the billionaires central location and play place and it has close proximity to the airport where mom's plane is usually parked). We also have a home in Narok(where the ranch is), more like our country home but we also have an island somewhere on Lake Victoria where we hail from. My great grand father settled there when he came from The UK way back then, and that has been our "rural" home ever since. Although there is nothing rural about the island,haha! Then finally our home in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. We spend a fair bit of time there every few months or so. Plus that is where Dad and Mom keep most of their fancy sports cars because,,well.. its safer according to them, plus the roads there favor their Ferrari's. Dads words not mine. Plus, Mom is Tanzanian and she loves Dar, so yeah. I'll post the houses soon enough.

So heres the Karen Villa;
