After attending a conference in Penang in 2007, I flew from there to Kuala Lumpur to meet with friends and ended up at the Admiralty Marina in Port Dickson. There, on Spirit, underway from Thailand to a broker in Singapore, I spent an afternoon just looking, then inspecting and then falling in love with her. I decided to buy her on the spot. She never made it to Singapore. I had a valuation survey done immediately and purchased her in August.
