but before that, we bought the ticket for a show...

titled Love Happen...

is really happening now... :)

while waiting for '2' to be lighted...

it's my darling and me...

sleepy look of me, therefore a second take...

better right? :p

therefore, just a mushroom soup for me... T.T

and of course, we shared this...

and after that, straight head back to Selandar as there is a couple of hour before the clock struck twelve...

which means 9 December will passed...

this trip was headed by Dr Safian who is the advisor of Society of Industrial Engineering (SIE) and all together, there were eleven members...

but Dr Safian does bring his family of four including him as well...

therefore all together there were fifteen of us...

reach LCCT at around 1430 Malaysian time...
