Penang 2007
Phew... Ventures are back from Penang!
Actually this time round its only me, Darren and Ben but we still had fun though :)
Visited many interesting places,
and ate many tasty street hawker foods.
This is a brief outline of what we did/visited/ate:
Chowrasta market
Komtar + Prangin mall
Khoo Kong Si
Penang Hill hike
Botanical Garden
Kek Lok Si
Penang (most) famous Laksa
Bought many tau sar piah
Queensbay mall
Gurney plaza
A&W (can't find in sg, so yeah)
St. Xavier's Institution (SXI, Ara's sekolah)
Victoria Memorial Clock Tower
Wisma Kastam Building
Kuan Yin Teng
Little Sisters of the Poor (CIP)
...just to name a few.
We also stayed at Malcolm's place for a night and played with the dog ;)
The hike up Penang hill in my opinion was the most interesting,
especially when we attempted to take the tram down hill, it broke down.
We even had to walk down one section of the tracks!
I bet normal tourists don't get to experience that haha
We visited the Scout HQ in Penang, and chatted a little with the office folks.
They said that next time we could apply to them in advance, and get free lodging x)
We missed out on some attractions due to Hari Raya, but we still accomplished
a lot more than we expected, especially with a 3-man crew.
This is all I can remember now!
Till then, ciao.
p.s. Photos are up. See 'em here.

Christmas / New Year's Party
Hey all. And i mean ALL. Yep, every single one with some sort of Pelandok history are invited to this year's party which will be held at Malcolm's place (behind Bukit Timah Plaza) on the 28th of Dec from 1830 hrs onwards. Actually it's at his pool place on the 5th floor if I'm not wrong. Oh and in case you are wondering, it's a pot luck thingy. So everyone has to bring some sort of food/drinks there. Ok simply put, the ventures and scouts will bring drinks and snacks AND all the rovers and old boys will bring main dishes. And don't forget to bring nice Christmas presents for everyone (and especially you-know-who). Be it your undying love for Malcolm or your ever precious gratitude for him, just bring it! And present it. Haha! Oh well. Guess I'll see you all there. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me, Aravind @ 90575403. Ciao (:
Venture Night 2007
Hey guys
I'd just like to thank everyone who's been helping out in this year's v-nite. Though I'll admit we didn't hit the target guest numbers as well as carry out every single activity we planned for, these are but minor details that pale in comparison to the collage of wonderful smiles and laughter of old boys and new alike. I enjoyed myself a lot and as the organiser, I'm already pleased that nothing did go wrong. However, do look forward to an even better v-nite next year, right juniors? haha...
Shannon
p.s. photos soon!
