Palawan Beach, Sentosa

The beach outing at Sentosa was simply, fantastically, fun! The Captain struggles to remember the last time he had such good, clean, unadulterated fun. Well, perhaps the Captain has been living under a rock for too long...

Anyway, this is about the fun...too many words will spoil the post. Or to mention one of the seemingly endless (mis)quotes from IL, one might say "Too many people will kill the cook". He meant to say "Too many cooks spoil the broth". Yet another gem from IL...

The star of the show was undoubtedly our very own Borat, but better than him perhaps, the one and only mighty Markorat!

Markorat starts the show with what will be a trademark pose from now on...

Laddette, looking nice and tanned

The arrival of MV and KN

Settling in and checking out the scene

My, aren't they lovely...

Markorat with one of his fans

KN, in an orange top which obviously signifies her undying allegiance for the orange building (because we all know how much she loves it, eh) and the Markorat fan

Markorat and KN

Queen of Bollywood and Markorat

Markorat is really busy today, posing with fans, some of whom really wear the skimpiest of outfits...c'mon give the rest of us lesser men a chance with them laydeeez!

Boy, Markorat is hot...if only the Captain were as popular with the gals

Ah yes...laddette shows off her silky football skills

MV matches that with a sweet right foot...

You know, if you're under a mistletoe, you have to kiss...but what if you're under a coconut tree?


3 chicks auditioning to be the next Bond gal, with BB as the new B*n "Don't call me uncle" Bond. My money's on laddette to make it...and MV to play the traditional villainess with a incredibly suggestive name like "Pussy Galore". KN will have a cameo role somewhere as a waitress in some chinese restaurant :-p

Chillin' out...

AAR and RC join the party...

Playing "monkey" in the water...NT tries to tackle DD

Erm...NT's hand looks like it's reaching into KN

MS shows off her ball catching skills...and her thighs.

I'm sure there must be some reason for this photo...maybe it's got to do with the fact that RC has a major crush on XQ. I only said maybe hor...


Getting ready for charades. The Captain, personally, isn't a fan of this game, because he sucks at it big-time.

Isl*n* is actually E.T and he wants to phone home?

I like how MV can be so childlike and innocent at times, yet exude that womanly appeal


Err...need I say anything more about this pic? Must ask designer to crop the photo so that these two are closer together....

The gals fawn over BB's son...

XQ displays style and panache when handling a frisbee...it's clear that she plays frisbee pretty often.

Watch out, naked man walking!

One can imagine how BB was like when he was his son's age...son looks just like father!


Markorat being interviewed by one of the reporters from Orange Daily. "So what do you do in your spare time?" "What are your favourite foods?" "There's a rumour that you and XX were seen leaving the editorial storeroom together, hair dishevelled, clothes unbuttoned and all. Care to explain?"

The Markorat fan club just keeps getting bigger and bigger...

Never a moment of rest for him....

Markorat, prepping the ladies for a photo. "C'mon ladies, get into position quickly..I've to get a mani pedi and go for an oil massage soon!"

Fantastic...he truly is a star

The other star of the show was of course BB's son.

What a meaty display.

The sandcastles that BB's son made...

The megawatt smile that never wavers

BB and Markorat

Cool, staring off into the distance pose

From one extreme to the next...skimpily clothed and now fully dressed

Markorat plays frisky frisbee with his fans

Calm and composed as he waits for the frisbee to reach him

XQ is quite a picture, striking an elegant pose as she deftly tosses the frisbee

Meanwhile, NT decides to advance his tender age by several years by playing surrogate father to BB's son

Aww...ain't he just the cutest

People might mistake NT as the bald baddie trying to kidnap some poor kid

Ah, kids...sometimes, you never want them to grow up...you want them cute and small for as long as possible

After the beach, some of us adjourned to Holland V for dinner and a drink...

NT looks scary

"I'll be your wingman anytime, bro!"

Dangerous D*ve and Bodylicious B**n Hw**

KN and BH

Markorat just can't get enough of that thumbs-up pose

The 3 Shaolin Monks

Are they long-lost brothers?

Markorat has quite a range of facial expressions, some of which give him a debonair look...the kind of devil-may-care attitude


Till the next beach outing...

Project Management

Not much of a project management course there. The trainer spoke more on figures, diagrams and stuff that made me feel like I was back in uni, attending one of those mind-numbingly boring mathematics lectures. I could not for the life of me find anything useful in the stuff that was taught, that might have practical applications for those in publishing.

Anyway on to the fun stuff. The Captain was supposed to lunch with Jam, RB and WM but then VKP hijacked the whole thing when she simply informed us "I'll join you guys for lunch". Needless to say the Captain did not really want to be stuck at the same table as VKP for one hour. There's something about certain elements of management that make the Captain....well, not want to lunch with them =p God forbid that the Captain ever becomes one of those "elements of management".

Fortunately, the saviour was none other than BBBB (Big Boss B*n B*o). He and his...friend, EO, were gonna have lunch together. So he asked me and WM to join them. Rather grateful, although also apprehensive at having to eat lunch with BB and his....friend EO, the Captain and WM ditched RB and Jam, and left them to the devices of VKP and her raunchy jokes. Call us evil, but desperate situations call for desperate measures.

So we had bak kut teh at a nearby coffeeshop. Well, BB, EO and WM did. The Captain doesn't eat pork (neither beef nor mutton for that matter), so he had a bowl of noodles instead.

All that was left of the cute wittle piggie from the book "Charlotte's Web"......barbarians!

The decadent humans feasting on the remains of a dead animal's carcass

BB enjoying his meal...

Savouring every last morsel

He looks half-surprised, half-disappointed to discover that there's no more...

Are they holding hands?

Bennamy and RB Shevchenko, presenting....something. Clearly, what was taught at this course has completely slipped from the Captain's mind!


His seemingly "ouch" reaction might be due to the fact that she was squeezing his....something.

The Tie proposes to the Pontianak

Following on from ttwins' excellent post about pontianaks, here we have IL proposing to JL, at Pizza Hut no less. We planned to give JL flowers for her farewell. It was IL's suggestion to propose to her...the Captain suspects that years of working together and sharing the same telephone line have breeded in him a deep crush for her. And we all know that some jokes are a way of conveying a serious message without the implications or consequences thereof. "I'm only joking!", some people might say, after they have said something spectacularly disgusting/outrageous/insulting or confessed their crush/love for somebody.

As for JL's answer, she said "No, but can I keep the flowers? And you forgot the diamond ring!"
