Meri Krismas from KL

Ok this is rather belated, and since it IS 31st December, i can safely say that calling this update 'rather belated' is the understatement of the year :) smug act-smart smile

We were invited up to KL for the Xmas weekend by the Shaomin's family as part of her dad's 50th birthday bash in their tropical holiday house.

Hmm tropical holiday house eh..?

Imagine this: a 40-room luxury getaway house by the coast of tropical Malaysia facing the lush rainforest jungles with nature playfully encroaching on the gardens...

Well BANISH that thought. p³ went and planted that idea in my head, making me OVERLY enthused about the trip and blabbering it to everyone when in actual fact, the place was ONLY so meagre:


Whack-a-Mole


Pool? Where's the 8-ball.

The catwalk, the pool and poolside blocks, the main hall

So there was a plain and nice ol' drive up in the ChewChia Volvo (ya alternative supercar to the Batmobile) which P³ let me drive on the Malacca to KL portion! You can't beat 150km/h on Malaysian roads man, all the while blasting music to the likes of Ciara, FallOutBoy and John Mayer (yeesh i know you cant blast this but shush).

Once we settled into the daily routine of sleeping, eating and sleeping, it was extremely hard to get out of that mentality. Nonetheless, there was time for the party prep


MY BUBBLES. Jaws.. Aching X.x


Sounds of the day: Wheeeeze *POP* wheeeeze *POP*

ShaoWei and ShaoYuan! Coming soon to a fashion show near you

(Note the 'I Am Legend' comic sprawled open on my lap. Yes, we got obsessed with it after watching the movie at the low low Malaysian price of RM7 (approx s$3) on a weekend.)

Numerous balloons spontaneously popping and scaring the shit out of people aside, there was a whole afternoon of food preparation table-setting before it zipped by and ended with but a photo and memories.

Happy 50th UKC!

Party aside, there was still much of the house to explore. Even though it has SUCH awesome potential for a summer party *hint hint*

What's the use of a pool and a pool-top pavillion if we aren't going to use it?!


Me, Min, Yuan, Suria, Wei




The quest for the elusive perfect Pavillion shot #1

The quest for the elusive perfect Pavillion shot #2

What's the deal with a COLD POOL anyway..? (haha jkjk)

And with so much time on our hands, there's always the photo opportunities to showcase how beautiful we are:

And i was taught that beauty could transcend any pose...

On the last night, UKC treated the lot of us to BUDDHA JUMPS OVER THE WALL, which apparently is named as such because 'it is so good that monks and vegetarian deities alike would climb walls to eat it'.


P³: Pugnacious Person Pigging-Out

Empty plates and full smiles

The private function room even had a very outdated karaoke set that led to me singing very horrible and tonedeaf versions of 'Hotel California' and various Westlife 'hits'.


And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast

Sibling love (okok, more like my love for them happy?!)

To summarise the weekend, I only have one picture

WOOHOO!

Can't see? Whoops the picture may have been too small since taken from the catwalk. [/haolian]

WOOHOO!

Ah, much better ;)

Waiting On the World to Change to.. Vultures - John Mayer

And As We Part..

The last phase of OCS and our baby steps into officership have just ended. 3 weeks of utterly boring visits, lectures, whole-day drilling and of course, semi-autonomous FREE TIME!

(Notice the fact that we're in admin and actually look happy. Yes, Engineers HAS perverted our sense of fun by that much.)

And as we part,

There's time for rest on each other.

Bolstering each other on. Literally.

There's time to play, time to harden and cement friendships.


Huggles


Hmm wonder why we looked so guilty for this.

There's time to fully realise and ponder what we've accomplished.

In between, we even have weekends to go out, have good food and take photos with hot cars.

The name's Bond. James Bond. (and yes this is my submarine car)

But even with all this relaxing, we put up grand performances during our ACPC (ok maybe not me)..


The Waiter Brigade, at your service


Do NOT ask me anything about forgetting to shake the General's hand and then getting punished 5 rounds around the parade square. I won't tell you.

.. And our commissioning parade.

For auld lang syne my dear..

There's time to make our friends and relatives proud.


Thanks for the surprise bestie!


Nai²

Salutations and thanks for coming!

There's time for one last memory forever etched in film binary (eee digital cameras so unromantic).


The association i never want apart.


Ditto. (+ Push of course, he's represented by the hat)

And ditto ditto.

At the end of it all, there's time to look good and dine like kings and queens (Amos la, not the girls)..


I've FOUND my camwhore soulmate wahaha


Table 5


Lloyd, Guang

Loy, Amos

.. and time for one last dance.


To the Queen!







MOS Sky Lounge: A place I could get used to


Sleep and love abound.

*Xuuuuuuu*

Smoking A Joint Term, or a Smoking Joint Term. Both interchangeable and equally likely to get you HIGH.

I'll miss you OCS. Too bad i only realised this after commissioning.
