For that matter, how's everyone doing? :) Well in all aspects, I hope. I'll be leaving for my hometown soon, so I'll just take this opportunity to wish happy holidays and Happy Chinese New Year, everyone. ;)
The following will be a group photo and several videos taken during the outing at 1U some weeks ago. :D I took more videos as they were more easily taken. XD Thank you so much to Kim Ling and Pei Jin for helping to organise the gathering and it was really great to be able to meet up with all of you after so long. It was really good to be able to catch up on what each one of us has been up to, and in person too. The card games gave me such laughter as well. XDDDD To everyone else, I hope that there'll be an opportunity for us to meet up in the future. Though, I heard that there might be another gathering before the end of this month... ^^
A little note about the videos; the sizes may be bigger than usual, and that's because I've taken them on a better format. I've manage to get larger memory space so I'm not willing to compromise that to get smooth videos for memories~! :P Without further ado...
It's been so long since we had shots like this. ^^ I think Chu Jie and Pei Jin got better group shots, though, as we can't see everyone here. XDD
The given camera pan accross the table. ;) This time while people were ordering their food. XD
Ron arrived about an hour later, which explains why he's missing from the group picture. We split into two groups after lunch; Kim Ling, Kang Lik, Michelle, Rakish and Vincent went to watch "Outlander" while Chu Jie, Kien Jeen, Pei Jin, Siew Hwei, Sue May and myself did some window shopping. Later, Chu Jie had to leave early as we was a little unwell that day. :( It was good to meet up with you though, Chu Jie and hope to see you again soon~ We met up with Ron on the way and tagged him and his friend to the top of the building where we saw them play a little baseball. Videos and pictures ahoy~

We managed to goad our Darling Treasurer (or is it Darling ex-Treasurer?) into trying a hand at the sport, and I recorded a few of his attempts.
Not only that, but he manages to call someone's bluff as well!
The BEST of the lot; The King strikes again!! Don't let the size of the video prevent you from downloading this though. It has suspense! Comedy! Kien Jeen going V°3°V has got to be worth watching, and the scenes that led to that. XDDDD I'm sorry Kien Jeen. The camera loves you. :D
All this while our friends at the other table were having nice quiet conversations and even a game of chess going on.
The volume was upped when we played Heart Attack. My hands were full, so no video. :P After a few nerve-wrecking (with a few hands smacked) rounds, we grouped up with the rest and had a game... which involved losers being demoted to levels of pig-dom, courtesy of Michelle. :D
It starts with a rounds of passing cards around, à la "Heart Attack". However, when one has a full suit of the type of card (eg: four aces), one must immediately do a hand signal, like putting your thumb to your forehead, for instance. Everyone has to quickly follow suit and the last person becomes a level one pig. There are... six or seven levels, are there?
The humans, i.e., the players that have not lost, cannot talk to the pig or be demoted to their level if so. Basically, only players of the same level can freely speak to each other. So, the level one and level two pigs tried hard to get those higher ranked than them talking, and what fun it was. XDDD I wish I could've videoed it. If only my hands weren't occupied. XD Sad that not everyone got to participate as the table wasn't large enough. :( We'll get one next time.
I couldn't stay till the end as I had to leave early, but I do hope I'll be able to meet up again soon, before we part ways once again. Going through the past posts really brought back memories, and it was good seeing what you guys have been up to during the past few months and even years.
I wasn't able to properly manage my time, but with a little bit of luck, I'll hopefully be able to better balance commitments and perhaps upload a few photos of my own. My stay in Tasmania has been nothing short of wonderful, despite some ups-and-downs on what I like to call the emotional rollercoaster. At times, it has been hectic, what with all the deadlines and assignments, but hey, that's all part and parcel of uni life. XD What it lacks in entertainment and big city life, it makes up with beautiful, natural sceneries almost everywhere. :D I'll get some shots up next time.
So! I hope to be able to see you guys, but if not, I hope we'll be able to keep in touch. Some friends managed to coerce me into using Facebook XD, if not, there's always e-mail... which I hope to use more frequently, and that goes for MSN too.
Take care, everyone~! Best wishes! ^0^
By the way, I know I owe someone RM6 for the bubble tea and I'll find a way to repay you the money, by hook or by crook. ><
The crowd cheers as Tee Kien Jeen enters the field...
Round 1... Three strikes and YOU'RE OUUUT a.k.a. Kien Jeen might kill me for this. Baseball - 1 Kien Jeen - 0
After a few more rounds of baseball and meandering, along with a little shopping for shoelaces, we congragated at the same spot we had our bubble tea close to two years ago.
Took a couple of shots of the drinks for fun. :P
As always, we had games to go with the drinks. The first game we had was the old favourite, bluff. Kien Jeen turned out to be good at... truth-telling! Thus he dubbed himself, the King of Truth!
