Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur was awesome. Took the Nice Shuttle Bus there from Singapore. We had a chance to stay with Hemanshu's cousin Ketul, his wife Archana and daughters Maher and Kiana. Some of the places we checked out included the Thean Hou Temple, National Mosque, the soon-to-be capital Putrajaya, KL Tower, Petronas twin-towers, and Batu Caves where the world's largest Thaipusam Festival took place that weekend! Eric, our Taxi driver, was great - he even played the Michael Buble DVD for us in his car :)

Estela Birthday Celebration

Happy Birthday Estela! We celebrated Estela's birthday in Holland Village. The Lebanese food was delicious and lots of people turned up for drinks.

Cafe Del Mar

To cap off a crazy week of orientations, courses, and initiations... the school coordinated a final party at Cafe Del Mar on Sentosa island. This place has changed significantly from our last visit 7 years ago. No one was allowed to stay dry. If you were dry, you were thrown into the pool!

Happy Bday Yee Ning!

We met Yee Ning in Singapore over 7 years ago during our student exchange program with NUS. Yee Ning since moved to Singapore from Seattle so we get to hang with her in Singapore again! Happy Birthday.

NYE at Helipad

So we actually did end up going to Helipad after all! One of the INSEAD students had arranged a VIP list and we were on the "helipad" outside all night overlooking Clark Quay. We also got to see some fireworks. The helipad was on the 6th floor and not the 50th floor as I had imagined it but we had a great time. Good times..
