The original planned date for the trip was from the 18th to the 21th of September 08. Some of you guys can't make it to the trip during that time. Thus we're proposing a newer date - bringing the trip forward to the 6th-7th weekend of September 08. It could be for 2 to 3 days. This might be more appropriate as the people who are currently in US and will start their Nott studying term soon might not be able to join this trip originally. With an earlier trip, we can perhaps have another short trip later in September - maybe to somewhere nearby and more convenient.

There is no change to the package that we're taking - you can have a look at the link below.

As for the itinerary, it will only be a short trip - so I'll just leave it to your creativity. The trip is still very on - there will be cameras and pictures and alcohols and lots of fun. Hope you guys can join this trip.

Once again - please reply to confirm your attendance via commenting - I think it is the easiest way to communicate with each other. I would do it through facebook otherwise but that would just make this blog redundant - so let's not let that happen.

Names of people going (Confirmed) : Shaun, Saolee, Zhao, Seetho, Renyin, Shirley, Jo-anne


Remember how fun much we had? Take a look ...




Let's have fun again! - PE1 goes to Langkawi and gets high trip- hehe

Hey guys. This will be the plan for September 08. I'm not quite sure of the exact date but here's the plan so far.

The trip will be to Langkawi Island. It's not to the initially suggested place, which is Laguna@Redang because the rates there were pretty expensive. Anyways - the rates here is pretty reasonable.

It's at Langkasuka Beach Resort in Langkawi (rated no.4 best resort in Langkawi). Me and Zhao have personally spent 2 nights there. For me, I thought that it was a nice place and with a private beach - it's definately a good place to go.

The rates and packages are as follows : Click here

Me and Saolee thought that the Car package would be most useful as we would need a car to get around the island. It would be about RM235 a night for 4 person and this is inclusive of a 10 percent refundable deposit and the car, of course.

What do you think about this trip proposal? Hope you guys would join in the fun. I plan to get very drunk on the first night. Hehehehe

Please comment ASAP ppl! thanks...

PS - Remember to bring extra cash for alcoholic purposes/souveniers.

Greetings! =)

Hello everyone!Since I am bored from studying and the weather is miserably cold (and it's supposed to be spring.....) I shall post something.  

Here's a picture from the New Year Countdown last Dec. We went to The Curve, but had to drive off before 12 am to avoid getting stuck in the complex.



After watching fireworks, we went to Ren Yin's house. Zhao....what a pose. Lol.



I went to Ireland recently, and here's a picture from St. Stephen's Green, a public park in the city center of Dublin.



I also went to the Guinness Storehouse, the core of which is a giant pint glass, which, if filled, can hold approximately 14.3 million pints of GUINNESS®!



Here's a view of the city from The Gravity Bar, which is located at the highest floor of the building, where each visitor can take 1 pint of Guinness and enjoy the view of the city...



A few exhibits in the storehouse.



This is UCD (University College Dublin), where my friend is studying. The campus is really big and nice. And this huge egg is located right outside the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine.....
 


This is Temple Bar, a famous place in the city center where many bars play traditional Irish music at night. Nice atmosphere.



Lastly, this is the statue of Molly Malone, one of the most familiar symbols of Dublin. If you are wondering who she is, she was supposedly a beautiful and busty fishmonger (some said she was a prostitute by night) who finally died of typhoid fever. She is the heroine of the unofficial anthem for Dublin, ‘Cockles and Mussels'.

This picture is so blur because when I was taking it groups of people from left and right actually stopped for me. Haha I mumbled apologies after that. But oh well my friend said that Dublin is a laid-back city...



So there, I hope that everyone is doing well wherever you are. Good luck for upcoming exams, and hope to hear more from you all! =)
