Operation MHK Day 1: Introducing........

Before we get to the MHK(Macau + Hong Kong) trip proper, I feel that it's only right to introduce the main cast of the show, namely, us.

Without further ado, let us unveil the mystery surrounding these larger than life characters, in order of their arrival timing @ the Budget Terminal............

First up, our very own Aussie-based Stinkaporean:

Name: James
Alias: Cool Snake (he's cool, but rather serpentine in nature......), White B*stard (a legacy from our FDS days, credit to Ang Kong for coining this term...), Jamesy Boi
Traits: Able to speak Chinese like an Ang Moh. Keeping cool @ all times. Credited for being the first guy to call me a moron & slapping me, without offending me. Extremely homophobic.
Time of arrival: 0530 (thereabouts...)


Name: Kevin Wee
Alias: Batman, Wee Wee, Drug Addict (another term coined during the FDS days, by whom I have absolutely no friggin' idea)
Traits: Being blind as a bat. Sprouting random quotes at the most unexpected times. Able to make any normal situation hilarious with his boo boo antics.
Time of arrival: 0800 (thereabouts...)

Name: Hongni
Alias: Alvin, Mr Horny
Traits: Able to converse in several languages, one of which is Vietnamese (in broken phrases, mainly focusing on the subtle variations of vulgarities). Nose will turn RED and STAY red if conditions are not right. Have balls to try Smelly Beancurd. Bear slight resemblance to Ekin Cheng (if he combs his hair with center parting)
Time of arrival: Uber late. 0820 (thereabouts...)

Name: Charmaine
Alias: Mrs Hongni, Da Sao
Traits: Able to tahan all our nonsense. The only lady I know who can probably kick my arse in WoW if I ever play. Penchant for soft toys and cutesy stuff.
Time of arrival: Same as above. 0820 (thereabouts...)

& how can I forget this lady.....

Name: Veronica
Alias: Veron, Big Baby Boo*, Sweetheart*
*these terms apply for me only, muhahahahahhahaha!!!!
Traits: Ability to make me do silly things and take pictures in weird poses. Uncanny telepathy with me. Doesn't like to eat tofu. Oh, and is the sole (un)lucky receipent of my love.
Time of arrival: 0730 (thereabouts...)

Last but not least...
Name: Tim Juan
Alias: Tim, Timmy~~~, Savage Dog, Moron (as coined by James), Big Baby Babi Bubs (as coined by the missus)
Traits: Able to follow street signs and still end up lost. Cam-whore. The other cast member along with Hongni to try Smelly Beancurd. Part-time translator (for Cantonese). Love BBB to bits.
Time of arrival: 0730 (thereabouts...)

The stage is set.
The cast has been introduced.
For more of their(mis)adventures and mishaps, stay tune.

Us. Leaving on a Jet(star) plane......

Operation MHK (Macau + Hong Kong) - Day 0

Day 0 started quite some back, but for convenience's sake, let's just take Day 0 as the night before the MHK trip.
The night when plans were finalised, when the last bak chor mee was consumed, when the gang went home with the anticipation for greater things to come tomorrow.

It was the night before the trip.
Nothing much to talk about here, except for the one last supper @ Bedok 85, the banter being traded, and of cos, the last minute packings that all of us might be guilty of.

This, my friends, is just the beginning.
For coming up, will be posts.
Posts of the things we did, the things we should have done, and the things that some people did and some people didn't.
Posts of MHK..........

Till the next time...

Operation Macau & Hong Kong 2008

Operation Macau & Hong Kong has concluded.
If given a choice, I would love to have stayed longer, but alas, the four letter word work immediately spring into mind.

Will be arranging the pictures some time soon.
Watch for more posts.....

The final countdown...

At this time tomorrow, we'll probably be above the skies of Macau.
's been a while since the BRAVO guys have been on a trip, the last being the not-so-exciting Vietnam trip. (to refresh your memory, the blog post is here.)
's the first time we'll be travelling with Horny and Da-sao, and the first i'll be going with the missus.

Rather excited, but strangely unprepared.
Maybe I need to get into the holiday mode first.
As of now, work seems to be in the driving seat.

But heck, 5+ hours to the end of the working day, 5+ hours to the start of my holidays........
Let's rock & ride.

The big 250

I had no idea that I've reached 250 posts.
Quite da surprising given the recent lack of posts being churned out by me.

I suppose the reasons for the absolute drought of posts in August can be attributed to:

1. I've become MORE lazy. (how is that possible? I'm already as lazy as it is...)
2. I'm consumed by work. (highly likely. This is not a very very fun month for me. Work-wise at least...)
3. I'm too busy with somebody. (I think you know who you are....)

and most importantly.....

4. MY LAPTOP JUST CRASHED!!! = impossible to find a good time to blog using my bro's PC. That plus I can never get used to his keyboard, lack of Picasa program to collage my pics(he refused to let me download any foreign programs in his PC. And by foreign I mean programs he does not need, ie: Picasa, iTunes etc...)

Sigh......................

Anyways, September is finally here. Mixed feelings about the speed at which time is flashing by, yet excited by things yet to come.

In any case, I'll be heading home for a good dinner, slack away the Monday Blues, and maybe... just maybe, see if I can post another one when I'm back.

Did I just let slip that I'm blogging in office? Oops.
