X'mas Outing before Om Retreat ~~

Before the Om Retreat (23-12-06 i tink :P), yao tang've organised a x'mas outing session with some of our BS frens and seniors, especially those from NYPBS and not forgetting SPBS too, hehe...

here's our big sis - Juliana, me and khim...(above)

The bEsT thing is that Khim came along with us, she can socialise with my frens very well and soon they were all talkin to each other already.. (khim, u're so amazing :P)

We have an incredible movie session (Curse of the Golden Flowers) at Cathay PictureHouse.. haha.. den we set off for dinner at a great vegetarian restaurant, 鸿阁, after dinner, we went for a stroll down the Orchard Road and then Starbucks as the Finale.. hee.. Wa, looking at the agenda, it seems like a packed schedule yah, but we all enjoyed it to the max.. .....

Below are some pictures which we've taken along the Orchard Road.. The lightings this year is almost the same as last year, but to watch them with a different group people each time, can generate different feelings and experiences.

Along the road, we saw quite a number of people selling santa's cap which has small lights attached around it.. Most prob is to attract the kids and those who wanna add a greater sense of x'mas for celebration....

Inside this picture, there are me , sharon, juliana, khim and zhi wei from NTUBS.. hee.. see the smiles on our faces, we sure were enjoying ourselves.. haha.. this picture sure has the taste of Christmas, everything is glintering red and shining gold...



Looks like we're in a farmland, buT.. we're not.. haha...




Look at this makeshift christmas tree (left), it did look real to a certain extent though... the leaves portion was made up of neon lights instead, so creative of the markeing and designing people to come up with this...

Hugging around the tree, does it reminds u of a certain type of shows? hee... keep thinking ba....

haha.. it the Bollywood movies :P

Yo, this is the 全家福 picture for the gathering that evening taken at 鸿阁. After a hearty and delicious meal, you can see the smiles of contentment on our faces.. hehe...

Some of the NYPBS and SPBS alumni were with us, i was bit surprised to see some of them turning up for the gathering.. - this shows that we all have a good bonding with our seniors.. hehe.. really hope that the bonds that we've forged during out BS days would stay and become stronger as time goes by with the inclusion of new BS members... =)

However, all things are dependable on conditions, we shall nature takes its course ba... (making aspirations....) May us all sbe able to strive hard and well on the path constantly with good conditions. May we all have the company of good spiritual friends. May we all be able to help ourselves and all mother sentient beings with wisdom.
