28th November 2007

The opening ceremony is today.
All the hostesses were waiting in front of the marina's lobby to wait for their team's arrival.
The skippers were required to go for the morning briefing.
As for all the hostesses were required to jot down all the details, in case our skippers were blur.
Haha.
Then, draw lots for the yacht's number.


The very pathetic sports car.
The yachts.
Overview of the docks. Sailors checking on their yacht.

Big trucks getting ready.

All teams were asked to gather at the lobby.
They are going to ride on a big truck to go Shahbandar for the opening ceremony.
Then, from there, they will take boat to come back to THBC.


They were waiting.
Planning on strategies?
2 boys missing.
I'm looking for the right time to take their pics.Caught them just before the truck start moving.
Saba Sailing Team from France.

After all teams were on their way to Shahbandar, it means that we are free for an hour before they get back from the town.
We loiter around, watch the live from TV.
Saw them matching while greating the local.


Seriously, I wonder why are they standing there?
Walking past the media with Farah.
The match starts.

At night, everyone need to attend the dinner with the chief minister in some wisma.
Mei's LO, Janet brought all her baju kurung and baju kebaya for all the girls.
She kept 2 smaller size for me.
I choose the white and red baju kebaya.
The smallest size but still a little big for me.
No choice. Got no time to pin it.
The press conference was delayed but not the dinner.
We have to reach before 8.30pm and we only have like less than half an hour to get ready.
But my boys were smart enough to bring their clothes to THBC.
All of them were on their batik attire before I send them back to the hotel.
Bjorn somemore ask if they can wear songkok.
Apparently he went to get one for himself on the day before.
So funny.

Baju kebaya and messy room.

8.30pm.
The chief minister arrived.
After he 'bla bla bla', then another fella long long speech.
At last all of us allowed to start the meal.
All the sailors were eyeing on the appertizer eversince they sit down and throughout the speech and performance.
The were hungry.


Appertizer.

There was only 1 appertizer, buns, 1 main course, 1 dessert.
All like super tiny potion, so kedekut.
Most of the sailors haven't had enough.
And, honestly, the food wasn't that nice. =/


Chief Minister, Idris Yusof and Dato' Peter Gilmour.
He meant what he said. *melts*

The dinner end when the Chief Minister balik with his wife.
All of us follow from behind to get to the entrance.
Vans by vans came to pick everyone back.


Its so blur!They want to be like my height? Haha!

Magnus was so careless.
He called not long when we dropped them back to hotel.
His mobile slipped out from his pocket, and it was somewhere in the car.
Lucky thing we managed to found it.
Phew.
