Highlights of the evening (for me):

1. Riding shotgun beside an irate Da cursing all who wer getting lost, gesticulating with his left hand outta the car window for Mufy to turn the haz lights on, attending to the umpteen calls coming with his other hand n then switching off his mobile in a really ingenious way!! he simply took apart the battery, casing n the rest of it n dumped it in the holder in the door!! (n yeah the icing being that I managed to get the car door stuck in at the gate...oops...sorry, Da!!)

2. The QL PALACE!! (Need I say more!)

3. A blushing Khanan in a bathsuit trying to hide himself (behind a cushion) from the prying eyes of the ladies... :-p

4. The food...and yesss....the cake that Scarlett brought!!(yummm..)

5. TCOM at the Grill

6.Magic Dragon and his band!!

7. The HOT apron

8 Trip to the other guest house and the arm wrestling match wer ...(u guys missed it!! :p)

9. The moonlit terrace!

DaRu.. it’s not that we are slow drivers, (I love fast driving) but it’s hard to keep together 5-6 cars, when you enter R/A… and while you wait for your turn to jump into R/A, you lose the leading car out your view, and you just don’t know where to get out of R/A.. to go straight? Left? ...Especially, some cars look exactly the same.. it was funny.. I thought that I saw you passing this R/A straight... but then I saw Mila’s car turns left, because in front of them it was the car exactly like yours one.. so I followed Mila’s car, but then I though: no.. something wrong.. so I took over this Toyota, looked at the window, and it was someone else.. Mila saw me taking over Toyota and looking into the car, so she called me, asking: is that DaRu who is driving? I go: NO!!! she goes like: OMG!! I thought it’s his car… it was funny...LOL…

Sorry the milk man i think he was starving so he milked the camels before we could reach there but you guys still had the camel milk.

There was plenty of food i just tested few to stop my belly from making Dj Remix music coz it was empty :D

Ah and every body swam too nice you were feeling at home and relax.

Me Tigasin and his Frenchie Siblings and Fatcat Winn left last one we left at 11pm because we went to see the other side of farm house you will see the pic on FB if he gets them on Frenchie mate.

Will do it again in November the weather will be fine too and will try to do it a bit lil early.

Yea am sorry i was kinda aggressive in the beginning because you guys ARE SUCH A SLOW DRIVERS.well sorry for that :P

Once again Thank you every body for coming it indeed pleases me alot when i see you altogether and i get kinda excited ;)
