This was the night where we planned a birthday surprise for Veron, Wan Teng and Lionel - the June babies. It was quite funny the way we popped up at Ade's place (where the zhu jiao of the nite were there) cos it didn't turn out as it worked. Someone was supposed to switch off the lights aft we entered the door so the person with the cake (& lighted candles) can come in for e surprise. But the person who was supposed to off the lights didn't do it properly cos the switch there is a bit funny. To off/on both the lights, the switches are supposed to be in opposite position de. Not like in Singapore, where you have them both flipped back or both front. So he was there, flipping the switch back n forth, and the lights were going on and off... Trying to figure out how to off them both. And the rest of the people in the room were just staring and waiting... and Veron asked: "Why are u playing with the lights huh?"

She seriously had no clue it was a surprise... LOL. but it was a great nite! Had cake and chips plus some wine and coke... =D



our cookout cum pot luck! This is actually the 2nd time we're having such a major cooking project. This was when we're at Compeigne, the 2nd hostel where we have a kitchenette in each room. Me & Veron were in charge of the porridge (since the 1st time was very successful hehe =P ) then the other gals cooked pasta. Vincent brought some beef and potatoes, then Lionel & him roomies got pizza! we also had ice cream for dessert... needless to say, another wonderful night...



One of my fave shot! Becos it was at night, not many of our cams were 'powerful' enuff to take gd shots, yet the scene was too nice... this was the only clear one I could get, from Veron's cam. Love it! You can even see the light beams from Eiffel... It scans the area around it by just going round and round... like a lighthse.

Anyway, we were all rushing to the front and back, again and again... To make full use of the 10-15 mins of the Eiffel Tower light up to take as many pics as we could. Trying not to block others also. haha. there's like 2 or 3 grps of pp taking at the same time lo...
