Some Announcements

Hey there Guys..

Just a few things to add.. firstly, as you've noticed, i've not been updating that often... which is why i would have granted author privileges to Dex and Jennifer who take a lot of photos and may be able to spare the time to upload more photographs for your viewing pleasure.. i'm not bowing out completely.. just saying that im taking a step back and probably not gonna be as gung-ho and immediate about posting as few months back when we were all in SSEAYP fever... in short, we will try to update as much as we can as fast as we can... :)

secondly, as Bob and Mimmet's wedding comes about (THIS WEEK!!).. and PYs flock our tiny nation.. Aizat will be having a function @ his place on Saturday night, 29th March 2008- stay tuned for more details...

If anyone has photos of Goo, Kama and Ping's trip to Brunei and wants to upload them on the blog, feel free to email myself or Jen...

Till the next time :)
