Eagerly waiting for more photos....

[noordin]

As samp said we had an throughly enjoyable trip, with lots of locations/subjects to shoot and lots of seafood to eat. (A tip for you guys who want to organise dinner or lunch for samp and freaky, order seafood. They're both allergic to seafood, so you'll have more share!) :D

I'd like to thank freaky for organising, ah chow for being the guide, qqmeng for hosting us the whole of Saturday :thumbs_up: and all the 'props' (me include) that made it a success and throughly enjoyable. I think it's a prelude to many more trips in future. :D

[qqmeng]

my gosh...you guys are fast. i hv just sent freaky back to the hotel room and u guys hv already posted photos here.

freaky aside, you guys are so friendly and nice....oh and funny too :D.
