Coming from the land of the Petronas Twin Towers, you may be advised by some former Malaysians to give a miss to one of Auckland's attractions - the Sky Tower, in the city's central business district.

Disembarking in Goa (593km south of Mumbai), the smallest state in India, at 11am, we had to be mindful of returning to our cruise ship SuperStar Libra by 6pm (we were on a five-day/four-night cruise of Mumbai-Kadmat Island-Goa-Mumbai a few months ago). Goa, said to have derived its name from the word goparashtra (nation of cowherds), was ruled by the Portuguese (colonised in the early 16th century until its annexation by India in 1961) for over 450 years. It's authentic Goan cuisine for lunch at Viva Panjim in Fontainhas (the cultural quarter of Goa's capital Panjim). The staple diet of Goans (yes, they're called Goans and not Goanese as commonly referred to) is white rice and fish curry.

\"I landed the main role and became the host as well,\" he recalls fondly.

His latest project is doing the voiceovers in another Produksi Seni 2020 offering, a 13-episode docu-drama called Kisah Hidupku, which touches on the lives of people, their tragedies and hardships. Already on air for the past two weeks ago, it is screened over TV1 on Tuesdays at 7pm. The show's second season, also 13 episodes, will begin production this month. [Warren Fernandez] will soon be hosting Dapat, a 150-episode infotainment programme produced by Cyberbang. The bilingual series will be aired over one of the terrestial stations in August.
