THE SILENT YEARS PART 3 - THE NIGHT WAS YOUNG

It has been 5 long years since I last wrote. In the next 5 blogs, I will attempt to abridge the essence of those silent years - part 3

Bintan trip from 17 to 18 Oct 2015


It was one of those travel outings organised by Normantan CG. 

Several Clementi CGers could not give this a miss for whatever reasons. 


Food galore. 

On arrival, we were shepherded up the bus to visit a local factory where they were beckoning us with bites and tickling our tummies with must tries..

On the way to lunch, they handed out piping hot curry puffs. 

And bananas..

An odd combination if I might say. 

But they were yummy because I seldom decline any  food offer

Dinner was BBQ seafood and spicy Indonesian cuisine...






Beautiful resort with beach, swimming pool...
Great company.  


All was as promised and more......
After the delectable dinner, we adjourned to the K room. 
When the lights deemed and cameras rolled, many were holding mikes like pros belching out oldies and serenading songs of yesteryears and evergreens. 



They entertained with such gusto and nostalgia that I was at once transported back to the 60s with 
Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling In Love and Love Me Tender, 
Frank Sinatra's My Way, 
Hank Williams' Your Cheating Heart
and many more...


The euphoria was heightened to such a climax that many broke out in dance in rhythm to the tempo and beat of rock and roll and the twist. How low can you go?

Wow! Wow! Wow! The night was really really really young.
