My first post in nearly two months is especially dedicated to my Ulam Raja mates!
Go Ulam! Go Raja! Go Ulam Raja!

So what is Ulam Raja? My lovely group from NTUMS Freshmen Orientation Camp '09: Qadeemul Kanaz... We were assigned to green group and so, we named ourselves Ulam Raja to give us some sense of ooomph compared to kangkong which sounded rather lembik haha. During the camp, somehow we got nicknamed the mentel group cos of the mentel-sounding cheers lol. And we won best skit for our super duper merepekness!

So anyway, the merepekness continued on to 09/09/09 when we had a sumptuous iftar at Sakura, seafood style, at Jurong Point followed by chewy round cream filled-doughnuts/buns/flour topped with what we like: mainly chocs, treat by Syidah! The delight of wonderful food with wonderful company! ;)



And yesterday, 30/09/09, was Ulam Raja Goes Raya day! Simply superbly gerek! Syidah rented an MPV to fit the 7 of us. There was Syidah, Rahmah, Zuhriyyah, Herman, Hazwan and Hidayat and we went to each others houses, Hidayat in Bukit Batok, Hazwan in Yishun, Rahmah & Herman in Punggol, Zuh in Sengkang, Syidah & I in Tampines. Syidah drove the MPV from Tampines all the way to Bukit Batok picking everyone up along the way, then we went back down down down.

Kecohness! Colour coordination, going around in circles cos Syidah don't like U-turns, beating the red lights cos Syidah was distracted by the camera (lucky there's no speed camera!), the jam break which sent everyone and a handbag flying forwards, the continuation of Ulam Raja skit (abit onlyyyy), the nomenclature (haha, nicknaming laa), the honks, the Dance Flick, the $30 saman, the 'collection' of money at the end, the sending everyone back one by one and many many more memorable moments. Truly another great day spent with great people!

Oh, and loveeeeee the food! Potatoes for breakfast (first time aku makan camni for raya and I like it very very much!), sup tulang and linguine beef bolognese for lunch and roti kirai with curry chicken for dinner! Not to forget the kuih2 raya and 'milo' dadeh and fruit cocktail! Boleh mengalir air liur youuuu.

To Nadya, Amirah & Hanyst, you're being missed!

Now waiting for the pics to be up!

And for our next Ulam Raja outing ;) Hmm... what shall it be? The zoo? Trapeze? Rockclimbing? Or Ubin? Or.... Tioman!? Haha. Looking forward to it!
