Chennai Airport

Mine and Xin's room at the Marriot Hotel

Breakfast at the hotel.My favourite meal of the day.The waffles were so good

Ignore the disheveled hair and please take note of the yummy waffles on the table and in my hand.

Part of the Breakfast buffet.

Another one of my favs. A selection of juices and milkshakes galore!

The selection of pastries for breakfast

On the way to the squash courts

Um...random pics of the scenery as we drive pass


Yeah they hang their laundry out to dry by the road side.

Scenery while walking to the courts

The track and field and basketball court

On the way to courtsThe building housing the courts

The glass court where the semi-finals and finals were being played
Ah the battle between Hong Kong and Malaysia


We finally settled for a truce thus a historic photo was taken

That's Lucy Liu in the middle..well she's not really called Lucy Liu but i gave her an english name so it kinda stuck...

Prize-giving...Malaysia won all 4 titles both girl and guys individuals and teams

Malaysian team

Team dinner. The buffet was great. We could order as many pizzas as we want!

Dessert take 1

Dessert take 2

Me and Wern

Now observe that this corner looks very plain and innocent and free off food but if you take a closer look.......

Voila!!All you can eat Baskins and Robins ice-cream!!!!!!!!

Catfish and goldfish
Lucy Liu and me!! Me and Xin walked the whole of 6 floors to look for the Hong Kong gals coz they were'nt in their room on the fourth floor. Apparently while we were looking for them they were looking for us hahaha...eventually we manage to bump into each other

Me and the Iranian dude who took pics with me and Xin when we passed by his room in our quest to look for the Hongkies.

We were upgraded to business class on our flight back...booyah!!!

That's Kamran's way of sleeping


A scenery outside my window

We arrived KLIA and me and the Low sisters were wating here for 4 hours for our transit flight to Penang. That's Wee Nee sleeping at the booth in KFC

Sheffield,England

Hey y'all I've been busy with competitions in England and India and i was just too lazy to upload pics...till now....Here are some shots of my England trip

Dubai airport's new terminal

Somewhere outside the gate

Waiting for our transit flight

Yan Xin and I in the bus to Sheffield

The view outside our room window at like 4am in the morning(blame the jet lag). All 4 girls had to cram into one room and i managed to snag the sofa bed just next to the window.
This is Miss Low Wee Nee who is obviously not suffering from jet lag unlike the rest of us who were all bright eyed and bushy tail and watching 90210 at 4 in the morning. (She loves this pic coz she claims it makes her legs look longer)
Me, Wern and the rest of the Malaysian team at Kebabish (a kebab store)
Me doing a super fast lightning speed karate chop...Nah...I didn't know what i was doing.

Me getting distracted by shiny twinkley lights when i was suppose to pose for the camera.
From the left: Kamran (who thought he was suppose to be in the pic), Me, Wern
Wee Nee and Yan Xin. Needless to say we came out of the diner with our coats and scarves smelling of kebab.
Wee Nee and Me
Outside our hotel. I was bored so i decided to take some pics while waiting for our taxis to pick us up to bring us to the train station.

The hotel or inn where we stayed for 10 days. We wern't suppose to stay here but since the booking of hotels were late we had to stay here which is 10 minutes walk from the competition hotel. I know 10 minutes isn't that long but when you have to walk in minus 3 degrees with just a sports jacket as your source of warmth (we can't bring our winter coats coz it was to heavy and bulky to carry around to the courts).

This is our favouritest shop of all..the 99pence store!! Everything in there is super super cheap especially the chocolate and sweets and choc biscuits.

Waiting for the taxis. Yes that's Wee Nee on the right sleeping again.

A snowy view taken from the train ride from Sheffield to Manchester airport. When I was in Sheffield i didn't know it snowed until i was running for the bus and nearly fell on my ass coz the pavements were covered with snow and ice.

Another shot from the train window

SO yeah... this was my trip in England...It's really little compared to the amount of pics that i took in India which i will be posting up on my next post. So til then....

Cheers,
