Tales: Bayi bought a plane

My good buddy, BayiSingh from Africa finally make the trip back to Malaysia for a short holiday. He had been busy traveling from Waco, Texas to Everett, Washington which is located 48km north of Seattle, near Snohomish County's Paine Field.

Everett is Boeing largest manufacturing site which house the main assembly plant which spans 98.3acres and has 472 million cubic feet of space. The Boeing 747, 767, 777 and 787 airplanes are manufactured in Everett, Washington.

Bayi had bought a 787 plane and had it refurbished at Waco, Texas. The aircraft was bought brand new for roughly US$100 Million dollars. Yes, he has the sinks made of solid gold and one of them is Lalique crystal. He had the interior completely removed and had installed a US$120mil worth of improvements inside and outside.

I asked him where he got so much money; he said his luck was good because his oilfields are pumping out more crude. And the price of crude is now USD114.00 per barrel. So, he need to find ways to spent his monies.

See pictures of the airplane below:




Solid gold!!!
Be careful when you wash your hands;
don't scratch the bowl.








Is it nice? Umm.... quite nice.

This is the plane:






How lucky Bayi is; he got oil wells;
I got water wells which is more than 30 years old
and now there's no water below, only mud.

Maybe, I should go to Africa and try my luck.
Sad to note Bayi had no daughter but plenty of wives.

Bayi said he is thinking of changing this plane because it is too small.
I wonder whether he will sell it to me for RM50 as a friend.
Would you, Bayi?

Bottom line? Don't let envy cloud your perception.
