Gathering @ Marina (HapPy biFdaY yoKe & ys!)
Saturday (13/01/2007):
Time for yet another 11-man gathering~! This time its @ Marina Bay~! =)
People involved are: ivan, teck, yoke, peng, yong sheng, yu sheng, zG, soh, weili, stan and mE~
Today's occasion is to celebrate the biFdaYs of yOke and yu sheng! *HapPy 22nd biFdaY guyz*~! lol~ lao liao.. cannot be so blur and c*** liao ok yu sheng? hahaha.. =X
We gave a 'Razer' mouse each to both of them~ I'm sure they loVed it~ haha =)
We headed to one of Marina Bay's numerous BBQ Steamboat restaurants~ When we arrived @ Marina Bay.. there were a few ppl trying to persuade us to try out their BBQ steamboat.. and one lady was quite persistent and strongly persuaded us to try her's out.. told us that she would give us discount since there were so many of us.. from $12 to $10 each.. plus a free van ride to the place~ Hmm.. the free ride was kinda tempting to us.. since the steamboat places were kinda far from the mrt. After a v.short discussion of "ok lo.. i dun mind", we decided.. what the heck.. no harm trying.. free ride somemore.. lol~ I mean.. what can they do to 11 guys?? haha. Anyway, the restaurant name is called "Pin Xian" or something like that.. Guys, dun go there~ lol~ A lil' advice from the 11 of us~
(L-R): ivan, mE, yoKe, zG, yu sheng, soh, stan, yong sheng, teck, penG (and weili the photographer)

Ultimately.. as i had expected.. the place and food wasn't all toO great~ The other places we tried b4 were much better~ Oh well.. at least now we know.. anyway got free ride to and fro~ haha. Best part is? - We actually made the effort to take pics and vidz this time la!! haha.. i guess we have learnt our lesson~ (p.s: thanks for the sms reminder ma sista~ haha.. though we had already started taking when u sms-ed ;) Nonetheless, thanks~)

*HapPy biFdaY yoKe*

*HapPy biFdaY to u toO yu sheng~*
After a semi-satisfying meal, we toOk the van (lol~) back to Marina Bay mrt~ From there we decided to sit down and chit chat @ a place called "Hongkong cafe" or something @ Marina Square~ Took the train to Cityhall mrt.. made our way through citylink and finally to Marina. Had to wait quite a while for them to clear a space for the 10 of us (peng left after a while). Meanwhile, we chatted about some stuff.. most of which was targeted at ivan. haha~ Teasing him about how we keep bumping into mao liang.. how he's in the same lecture as ivan.. lol~ As weili puts it.. "maybe he has some kinda platoon 1 sensor la.." lol~

Finally~ After getting a space @ the cafe, we proceeded to order some stuffs~ Surprisingly, they sell some pretty nice stuffs there~ Some of which are the "condensed milk with peanut butter toast" (which is damn nice.. heaps of super creamy & thick peanut butter poured onto a thick slice of toast~ *yuMmm.. lol) and the "Ying Yang" drink (which is a combination of coffee + tea~ *nice~) We also ordered 2 servings of some Mango ice-kachang like thing to share~ while stan ordered french toast which was huge as well lol~ A few other delectables were ordered as well~ You just have to go there! Yet another recommendation from mE~ ;)
What i love most about our gatherings is the conversations which we have~ Things about our past experiences together always never fails to make us burst into intense laughter or put a sincere smile on our faces~ Somehow, we can never get tired of talking about past 'baka' (usually done by zG or soh.. lol =X) stories or our days in camp.. the training and life back then~ There'll always be something to fall back on and remind us of the gD times~ =)
*Best pic of the day*
Again! We managed to take more photos and vidz! hahaha~ We've truly learnt from our numerous recurring mistakes~ lol~



*Bye bye~*
Finally we left the place @ around 11.30pm.. when we suddenly realised.. "eh.. today saturday hor?.. Last train is b4 12!! O.O" You can guess what came next.. *rush rush.. *quick shuffling of feets~ haha. We sorta fast-walked our way back through citylink and to Cityhall mrt~ Along the way.. yoke and soh were acting funny as usual~ 'Competing' with one another see who can fast-walk all the way to the mrt station.. haha~ And weili got it all down on video~ Too bad can't show it here~ The funny thing was.. Our rushing from here to there sorta 'spurred' other ppl to follow suit! hahaha~ its amazing what a huge group of ppl can do to the ppl around us~ People who were casually walking would suddenly follow us and rush for the train~ ahaha.. As if something bad was happening.. like we were running from something~ haha~ =P
"Strength in numbers" - How true~ lol~
Of coz~ We all managed to catch our respective last trains well b4 they arrived~ With the whole group of us together, you can always count on exciting things to happen both BETWEEN us as well as AROUND us! haha~
It's been a great evening out~ Another one to add to my pages of "Most memorable"~
