Trip to India via Malacca...

(Blog Update For The Recent Weeks...)

Up on the straits of malacca...you will find alot of pirates! err...maybe la, am not too sure about that but here's a teaser update of what happened in Malacca during our road trip there with a bunch of friends and below are some cool pictures taken by my very good friend Adrian Lim.

Adrian went to India for a backpacking trip for a month...he toured around to find some of the wonders of this country can offer. More pics from Adrian's trip to India will be up soon...

Here we are at Jonker 88 in Malacca, Jack with his t-shirt screaming for itself...look what it found!

It's a very historic place and here's the monument that does NOT have a roof on it! If you look closely you can find Jason Siah and Ocean!

Now...let's go across the straits of Malacca into India...where Adrian Lim will take us thru a myriad of new experiences...

India is not as bad as some of us may think it is...

Here's Adrian in the picture...will explain more about the location and all later!

*JSQ - Those who made a difference...

(Blog Update For 22nd April 2007)

Those that made a difference...what can this mean? Well first and foremost i'd like to thank those who came to the surprise b'day celebration for Jack. The list was kinda long at first being at about 40. But only 26 came as it was a very last minute thing that i managed to catch a few other people. The rest was either stuck with no transport, had class on a sunday, family and etc...well nevermind! Thank you for the wishes and all.

Even those who couldn't make it...no worries! there's always next time...as for Nick Dorian and Carmen - don't worry! i knew u guys wanted to come and surprise jack but Nick got surprised by food poisoning... as for Joshua Foong - remember family comes first! so see you soon ya! :-) There are a few others who were out of town and country...oh well i tried my very best.

This post is dedicated to some 'face shots' or expressions that was left, heard and felt at the party... perhaps it can be used to make some good feeling / judgement of the ambience and feel at the party. Thanks to Xian Jin for some of the pictures taken. I surely can't have done all of this on my own.

Food always comes first...but hey, this is one of their signature dishes!

Collegemates...one thing that we should all do nowadays is to at least spend some time with our collegemates! Really...it helps, networking, socialising, friendship!

One perfect shot by XianJin taken of Jack...really this is awesome! Click on this picture if you wanna see the largened effect.

Believe me...there were more than these students from HELP over there! heheh...

Napoli Bianco pizza baked with slices of meatballs and topped with cheesy creamy topping n beef pepperoni.

Bodybuilders, weight watchers, personal trainers...they're all enjoying it!

Finally we all get down and into the eating business!

The salmon is VERY fresh i tell you! Really...i've never tasted any other better salmon with great oregano garlic topping on top to make this a very succulent dish!

You must order this dish!!! If you can't take the vodka that's mixed with the vege, you may request to have it changed with chicken stock!

Xian Jin was explaining something to do with arithmetic or sometihng like that...

Rex was just too happy with all the flashes around him taking pics of him :P

Great minds think alike...do we?

Aiyoo..why you take a pic of me scractching my nose wan!!!

Love is everywhere, even at a birthday celebration!

*JSQ - Big Surprise B'day Celebration!

(Blog Update For 22nd April 2007)

Chapter 1 - TheSurprise: This blog update would be divided into 3 different chapters. Why? Because there's too many photos to put up, many different parts of the party...the people, the surprise, the celebration and many more... I'll leave you all up to it by coming back over and over again for more dosage of this cool party attended by many friends from various different cultures and backgrounds.

Let's not forget the Surprise B'day Celebration for JackSQ that was done on the night before all the way in Malacca by Mei & Orange together with a dozen other friends who were there on this fabulous road trip in Malacca. We would also like to thank the Malacca Government for such a good start for our trip (*hint).
