Some more of day 1 and day 2 at Gourami!

Leached off some photos from Jay and Rachelle's picasa as i didn't have my cam all the time. Thus found the photo we took at Changi airport before the flight to Penang, the six of us, all looking fresh and ready for the challenge ahead.



A picture of me from an angle which I never saw myself from. Interestingly, would i recognise myself from that angle? hmm..

Anyway, after the 1st day's treasure hunt, it was BBQ night! And being Singaporean and within my context, i was thinking that it will be BBQing by us! A DIY process, and thus i wore pretty shabbily, expecting to get sweaty and stuff. To my pleasant surprise, there were chefs BBQing and preparing the food for us. Apparently, not only i had the idea that we will be hands-on for the BBQ, cos Reiko was also wearing shabby clothes, expecting to get dirty. We had a good laugh over that though. =D
The food was fantastic and a sample of 50% of what's available was taken by Jay. I had quite a few helpings of satay, prawns and salmon. =P

For the second day, it was the start of the Gourami proper, with briefings in the morning and start of assessments at 1430. Attached to all teams was a coach and there are several floating assessors about. All the books we would need is located at the 'library' found along the corridor and our rooms are actually quite cosy, with everything we need.

The first day was spent trying to make sense of the information on the oil/gas reservoirs, the section views and stuff. Thank goodness we have Amirool, Naza and Lai, who spent time teaching us on what they are about and how to interpret the data. Help was on hand by our coach, Ronald and the lead coach for both EP North and South, Alan.



After a day of preparing for watershed meeting on day 3 morning, we were taken to this chinese mansion for dinner and also some activities inside. Got to know of this a little late, thus chanced upon the fortune telling table where a master is using cards, palmistry and face analysis to tell ones fortune. I was the interpretor when required and also had my fortunes read, to which i felt it was rather accurate. =P

Soon it was back to hotel and this time i sat in front, thus got a shot of the babes and hunks behind. =D

To be continued.....
