Bye Kel!!!

So Kel flew back to London today and it will be another few months before we see him again... actually we had quite a interesting conversation before he left... haha... Ra, tsk tsk, don't think that we will forget your books hogging tactics... how unethical...

Anyway, farewell Kel, be safe, be well and be home soon... lol.... time will fly pass us faster than we think.

Kelvin's 22nd Birthday Gathering

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

It has been ages since all six of us met up... to celebrate Kel's birthday which falls on 090909, jay recommended Vines restaurant near novena. The food was rather good for the price. After lunch, it was makan trail @ Ion which was long overdue (Ra was supposed to have one for us last month but he decided to ps us for $$$).

A Fun Filled day.

Aaron's Hall-Warming

So after much delay, we finally gave aaron's hall a proper visit( leaving behind the busy busy raccoon and the mugger raccoon aka Ra)...

of cos, it will be impolite of us to turn up without any gifts.... and hence, we kindly prepared a MUGGERS' welfare pack, that will certainly come in handy for his uni days ahead.

some greenery will brighten the room... for intensive mugging

aaron's pencils holder

well, a proper student cannot do without all these, can they?

(psss... only highlighter included)

satisfied?

Here, i wish aaron and all fellow raccoons a fulfilling and enriching tertiary education!!!

(hmmm... Ra, that does not mean mugging 24/7)

Welcome back, Kel!

Ra Fiesta '09

WE're BACK!!!!

after being on hiatus for several months(due to exams, attachment and whats not), we finally kick off another round of activities with the annual grand event of the group, RA FIESTA'09.

However due to the economic conditions this year, the group have no choice but to watch our $$$. lol... and no more 5 stars hotels and luxurious buffet. Instead we had to settle for a simple meal at the newly opened Monpuku Japanese Gourmet Town. Not too bad for a lunch location.

Like what Ra said:"Everything must be cheap this year... Cheap Cheap Cheap!!!". Indeed, Ra behaves more like an Ah Soh than a Tai Tai nowadays.

assortment of tarts

some of the main dishes...

watch the time!!! especially for the perpetual latecomer!

polished off

After lunch... it was movie time... "DRAG ME TO HELL", certainly not very appropriate for a bday celebration but it was Ra's idea. -.-'''

Gv receipt

p.s. Apologies to Aaron for not catering to your time constraints... Blame Ra... he needs to reach home by 8pm like a modern Cinderella.

Ra's quote of the Day:

"She is like Mystique"

- about a certain someone

"My thighs feels like honey baked ham"

"Sizzling hot"

"like having fever....sssssst"

-on his sunburned thighs

Jay's Birthday '09

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Time seems to zooom pass us... as though it was only yesterday that Ra was at Carnivore VivoCity asking for more "moo-moo"

It's time to kick off another round of birthday celebrations, of course, with Jay's birthday. The plan was simple, dinner then movie. It's a pity Aaron and Kel could not join us....

Dinner at Changing Appetites, as usual, Ra had to make life difficult for the waiter with his confusing order, on the basis of this "no moo moo" rule, which was forgotten as fast as the Maglev trains when he sees a buffet spread.

Eugene and Jay

Note the different in the size of the burgers, though it is the 'same' order
i guess it is the way the waiter is punishing Ra
Present time...

After the fulfilling dinner, we had to rush to the cinema, which is one of the forbidden cinema, but due to the showtime available, well, we had to give it a chance. AND it turn out that will be the only the chance it will be getting after the management decided to switch off the air con system halfway through the show(or is it 30 minutes into the show).

a receipt like ticket, anyone?

Hope everyone had fun on this day.... whether you are present or not.... or u are at pasar malam selling unwanted clothes..... lol.... Ra had a good time smsing Aaron i guess : )

CNY '09

settler's @ SMU
Ra

Dinning @ MOF, Bugis

HAPPY 牛 YEAR!!!!

Changeling @ GV plaza, a fantastic movie, though not quite suitable for the festive season.

Next stop, Settler's Cafe @ SMU, a chance for us to catch up with the latest happenings and gossips, and of cos, Ra has the most interesting tales to share.

Games were fun, and an opportunity for Ra to flaunt his inner slut.

Dinner at MOF and of cos, photo photo and more photo.

Finally, a squeeze into the crowd at Chinatown... lol....

What a wonderful day!

Turkey Mania~~~Xmas 2008

Oops! I guess we devoured the turkey too fast.... even forgot about photo!

Aaron's Return

Aaron, Welcome Home!

Eugene's birthday dinner

Venue: Plaza Singapura Xin Wang Hong Kong Café*Asian cuisine ala-carte*
Meeting venue/time: Dhoby Ghaut NEL exit/1730-1800hrs

ok.... i admit the venue seems kind of inferior after all the hotel buffet, but what to do.... ra says he is not up for any buffet anytime soon....

So sorry to Eugene.... but i had a good time after not meeting up for sooooo long, and hopefully u have too...


p.s. Sorry no pics... bad coordination from ra's part... all blame on ra... lol....

Surprise.... surprised....

Farewell, Kelvin...

How time flies....

It seems like yesterday we just attended Aaron bday/farewell gathering... and here we are, at the aiport to send Kelvin off, who will be away from Singapore for a even longer duration.

Goodbye Kel, take very good care of yourself in London, and do keep in touch.

Hmmm.... now the group is down to 4.... counting down to 20 Dec....

(p.s. To Kel: hope our gift didn't give u much trouble. Should have made them onto compact size ; ) Hope u like them)

Kel's 21st Birthday

A little Gathering for Kel....

(and of course Aaron is not around since he is somewhere in Arabia.... nice to hear ur call thou....)

Firstly, many apologies to Kel for not able to plan a birthday celebration on a date closer to your birthday. Hope u enjoyed yourself.

As usual, most of our gathering revolve around food and movie. And movie today was Mamma Mia!, choice picked by in-house Lido advocate--Ra but luckily we watched it at the Grand Cathay(since we only choose the finest).

Next was the usual after-movie feast, only in a different location, Kuishin-Bo. The food was great! And we got the lucky draw prize... lol... one of us dine for FREE!!!

It seems like giving bags for birthday had become a usual practice for us(4 bags for 4 birthdays)... hmmmm.... think it's about time to think of new gifts...

amused by ra

on our way home....

---Quotes of the Day---

"bon bon bon we are kuishin-bo"

- this and the bell ringing signals the arrival of special dishes on a first come first serve basis.

"This is the Queen's favorite beverage"

-Ra

The ship has sailed....

Farewell, Aaron....

Awaiting your return.

One last time....

One last time we watched a movie together

One last time we had a meal together

One last time the six of us were together.... at least for now/

Farewell, Aaron.... Pls take good care of yourself.

Aaron's 21st Birthday Bash

After nearly a month of not having a full group meeting, the group finally managed to have a get together(thanks to Aaron for organising his own bday party).

It is a wonderful feeling to be together again after such a long hiatus, and the event is a great success. Good food, good company, there is nothing more we can ask for.

a wonderful crowd

the cake star of the day
the usual award ceremony
The racoons

us again....

7 more days.... 6 will be down to 5.... sometimes, it can be really hard to say goodbyes....

Ra-Fiesta!!!!

The highly anticipated event of the year....

"The inaugural festive bash is approaching and wont fail to impress all party-lovers who are seeking for a ride of a lifetime and endless food that can satisfy people with gargantuan stomachs. Be sure to attend the Ra-Fiesta. In conjunction with the in-house racoon geomancer, it is now held on the weekend prior to the birthday with a proper balance of yin & yang and alignment of the stars, a day suitable for "safety boat rides" or endless gulping of food."

- reliable source

Of course, all six must be present for such a major event. First stop for us is lunch @Subway. As we were planning to save our stomach space for the grand feast later, we opted for something light.

Subway @ Central (look at Ra at the background, scrutinizing the menu)

After the quick bite, we proceeded to Settler's Cafe, where the fun and games begin... tried out several games, some were quick boring and definitely the most enjoyable game is "Taboo", especially when it is Raymond's turn(and poor Kelvin had to partner with him)...

J's turn

Ra's turn, with roars of laughter

Where's my muse???

group photo @ Settler's

After the games, we travelled to Royal Plaza on Scotts for dinner buffet @ Carousel. It was definitely expensive and classy enough to suit Ra's status as "tai tai" aka Big Spender of the group, and anything lesser will be an insult to him.

The buffet spread was so big that even though we spent four hours there, we could not try out all the dishes( Ra went for 4 rounds at the seafood section). It was obvious he ruined the delicate ecosystem of the marine creatures by gulping countless shellfishes.

let the feast begins

Ra, with a disgusted Eugene

extreme measures to ask Ra to stop(just joking...)

freshness... peel on the spot

finally, it's time for dessert


Of course, last activity of the day is the present presentation to Raymond, by Aaron... As we noticed that Ra's yellow radioactive/bio hazard bag was worn out, it was natural for us to buy him a new and much more fashionable bag...lol... It was like sure like the M16 rifle presentation

no more bio hazard...

the crowning ceremony

---------------Quotes of the Day---------------

" I feel like a cow."

Aaron @ Subway/ Jay @ Carousel

"Hiny Hiny..."

Aaron, during Taboo for the word "pony"

"Monkey"

Ra, clue for Nicole Kidman

"I don't listen to her song"

Aaron

"What do you say when you are surprised?"

Ra, mistaken the word "Vow" for "Wow"

"Where...where...I said WHERE!!!"

Ra, pressing for answer during Taboo

Editor's note: Ra - fiesta is aka Raymond's 21st Birthday Celebration
