Trip to Rye 2007

Pictures above was actually taken on the way home but what the hell!

Stopped at this place, in the middle of no where (this sentence was put forth this way because i don't remember where we were or what the name of the restaurant's was) for lunch.

And took a group pic! The sofa and the background reminds me of the sitcom i used to love Friends

Arrived not long after the lunch stop and the chalet was spectacular! Took shitloads of the place itself but i'll only share this with ya:

My future dream house must have one of these!

We played ping pong (table provided) and volley ball. Marinated chicken and stuck the prawns on skewers. I sat with the guys and played poker in the living room. For quite a while.

Then we obeyed the grumbling stomaches and began the barbecue!

Cold that night so it was the first ever bbq where i didn't sweat! My face was DAMN oily by the end of the night but i didn't even realize it cuz of the cool weather!

A nice candid shot (without me in it) at the deck. No idea what B, V, CT nor HS were doing, photo taken by PC. F in the front is cooking cheesy salmon wrapped in bacon!

After dinner, was some ping pong. Yeah, i totally sucked. There is a video of me hitting the ball into KW's forehead! WAHAHAHA. Whoops!

Then we hung out at the deck, just gazing at stars, roasting marshmallows and telling lame jokes (the lamer the better. There was the bak chang joke, the pck one, the Bruce Lee one =)

More poker for me and the guys =P Beat them in the first round, but was the BIGGEST LOSER in the second round! HAAHAH. They had a short drinking game which i forgone for a nice long bath. Was almost 3am by then.

While PC, C, CT and i were telling ghost stories in one room, K and B decided to have yet another bubble bath... Someone invaded their privacy and snapped explicit pictures of them!

Caught off guard! Houses in Aust really should have locks!

When those two were done with their bubble bath, we decided to prank the only one who was sleeping: PN. Heheh, with rapid shaving cream. But too bad mission failed.

Everyone was scared to sleep. The fear of being pranked was in the air. PC and CT 'talked to the guys in a serious manner, something about entering our room at night is sexual harassment'.

The other two girls fell asleep quickly, only i was left awake. Heard a faint knock on d door... and then some scratching. Must be the guys, duh. I prepared myself for an invasion... but nothing happens... i was facing the door and my eyes played tricks on me, i could swear i saw the door slowly open. Off and on, i heard scratching noises. Got up in the semi darkness and realized the door was tightly shut.

Beginning to think that the scratching was NOT the guys playing pranks on us after that. I started telling myself that it was the water pipes or PC snoring! In short, i was trying to convince myself that the scratching noises were NOT ghostly... I started to freak out wei...

Until i heard a loud OBVIOUS knock on the door (followed by more scratching). CONFIRMED ITS THEM ALREADY.

Got up, open the door, but didnt go out. Wore my specs and then tiptoed out. I saw either B or KW crouched down near the sofa! I said "OI!" in a very duh-ful way, and the other guy jumped out fr behind to "scare" me. DAMN funny.

Both of them and i were laughing like mad! Then i asked whats that on your faces? HAHAHHA, they put shaving cream over half their faces in attempt to look like ghosts to scare us! The icing on the cake was because it took me so long to open the door, the shaving cream started to BURN their faces! WAHHAHAAHHA.

They couldn't sleep after that cuz the shaving cream made them feel so fresh! HAHAHA. I went to sleep at about 6am.

Needless to say, i was among the last few to get up on day 2 of our trip. Up at 2pm. By the time everyone washed up, it was past 3. McDonald drive through lunch cuz we were in a hurry to go sightseeing.

The observation deck, the two cars we traveled and the ten of us huddled together in our final group picture.

We camwhored a bit too much and so it was too late to go to the Ashcombe maze, strawberry park and the thousand other places we were meant to see.

Its ok, more camwhoring:

Gurls n guys at Arthur's Seat.

Drove along the coast looking for a beach to play volley ball in. Stopped at this surf beach...

But as you can see, it was dark and gloomy, too windy and freezing cold!

We left, and two beaches later, we found the perfect beach to play volleyball, went for a swim and camwhore all the more.

That's ONE.
That's TWO

And that's FIVE... TEN... or is it FIFTEEN fingers/toes???


Only after putting up a FIGHT, did the guys surrender the tub to the girls!

SO RELAXING! =) =)

When we were done with the luxurious bath, it was pleasing to know that the bbq dinner was all ready and prepared by the guys! HAHAAHHA, this is THE life!

Makan. Hang out on the deck. Played ping pong, where each time you hit the ball you have to name a thing under a chosen category such as colours, Monash University Subjects... and sanitary napkin brands. The guys won at naming the pad brands ya know? HILARIOUS

More poker and some tv. Then we played a drinking game which was so much fun. KW who always bluffs at poker actually tells the truth in the drinking game. And poor poor CT was mistakenly tricked by HS and i! Trust the housemates! Each and every time V pours the drinks, he ends up drinking the WHOLE cup, how can anyone's luck be so bad? Lots of laughter.

I needed revenge on KW and B. And cute playful PC was all up for pranking! She checked if the guys are asleep and once we've got that ascertained, the two of us crept up to them and i was the sinner who sprayed the rapid shaving cream. MUAHAHA

Cream was on PN's cheek... but by the time traitor KW took pictures of him, he wiped the cream on the blanket.

His leg was exposed, not covered... PERFECTO! PC pointed there and i willingly obliged by spraying a blob of rapid shaving cream on B's knee. Also wiped off by the time KW took a pic of him

Sprayed on his cheek, the can made some whizzing sound! HAHA, but PC and i managed to duck and crawl out of the room.

When KW took the pictures, C got up and wiped the rapid shaving cream into his own hair! HAHAHAHA

Then on, it was war. It was funny how the guys thought it was all PC's work. Hehe, I escaped their wrath in the form of wet toilet roll and toothpaste.

Then sleepless. Too bad the sunrise wasn't in view from the lovely deck or we would have managed to stay up for tht.

Slept for 3 hours and i was one of the first few to get up. Took a picture of the aftermath of our drinking game:

Shortly before we had to start cleaning up and vacate the chalet...

That's my Rye trip of 2007 with the fellow Monash students in the Peninsula campus. Sad it ended but there's no better way then to end the year with this fun-filled trip.

Last but not least,

a scenery shot and a shot of my housemates and i!
