Colmar Tropicale 6-7 Oct 2007

backdated post....last wkend, a group of us headed to Colmar Tropicale@Bukit Tinggi. a group of us = aud, aud's sis, CL, shanice, sslim, celim, say gay, elvin, elvin's sis, kelvin and me of coz'. so how did we end up going as a group? gotta 'thank' sslim & CL for that...sslim wanted to go and he asked CL who, in turn, asked the entire QA...so there you go, a 'whole-village' trip!

6 oct 2007. i got up at 6.15am to wash up. met CL at bugis MCD for b'fast before heading to golden mile for the bus ride. somehow, the 2 of us ended up being the last to arrive :P the bus ride was rather comfy with in-built entertainment system. kinda like taking a plane ride :D i finally got to watch 'She's On Duty', uri Gong Yoo oppa!

the super comfy bus


having our lunch at a pathetic corner while waiting for the delayed mini-van to arrive


after switching to another mini-van at Times Square-KL, we finally arrived at our destination at close to 5pm. the original plan was to play paintball once we arrived but the road jam screwed things up and so we had to switch our 2 days itineary around.

welcome to Colmar Tropicale



we had 3 family rooms. aud, theresa, cl and me shared 1 room.

i love the canopy feel


after dumping our bags in the room, took the shuttle to the japanese tea garden. am glad we chose that rather than the rabbit farm...hey, there's only rabbits to see in the rabbit farm. how interesting can that be? :P



they pave the way with full round pebbles. not the cut-up type.



nice fishes.....



but with a stoopid sign





flowers you dun get to see in singapore


us fooling around

we fooled around in the japanese tea garden till around 6.30pm after which we headed back to the resort for dinner. dinner was a boring affair. not much food choices over there so we ended having a buffet dinner at the hotel.

night time at the resort. doesn't this look like a star-studded sky?


after dinner & shower, we headed to the guys' room for a drinking session! we bot vodka and some other drinks. wat best way to finish up these drinks? play 7-up! say gay was the funniest. she kept going...."21...ahhhhhhh".... "27.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" hahahahahahahahahahahahah! we finally finished all the drinks at close to 12am. 12am! bloody early lor, by my standards but we were damn tired so the bed was really very much welcome :P

the next day, we woke up at 6am+ so that we can have b'fast at 7am before heading for our paintball session at 8am...it was my 1st paintball session. was quite scared initially as i've heard the others say that it's HURTS if you get hit. but during the briefing session, i learnt that there's actually a 20-feet boundary between the 2 teams during the game, so phew! the game was really tiring but fun! i didn't get hit at all coz' i was hiding behind the bunkers, playing the shooter role :P the others can't believe i was not hurt at all...ok la, next time i'll try the 'catch the flag' role lor.... :P



dun we look cool? hahaaa


waiting for the shuttle to bring us back to the resort



after paintball, we had abit of time to do some sightseeing

bird's eye view from the top of a tower



looks like a drawbridge from the medieval times


they keep swans there too. i saw 2 white and 2 black ones


and i finally got to do a caricature of myself! :D



we left the place at 12.30pm and we finally reached singapore at close to 9pm. time really flies when you are having fun. we gotta do somemore of such trips in future :D
