We're on Revolution!

Woot!

It's been nearly 5 months since the event finale back in June, but we're still having it goin' on!


The Thorns at Orchard Road, Singapore!

Recently, for the halloween weekend, The Thorns together with some of our close friends went down to Singapore for a weekend getaway!


A group shot outside the Night Safari Entrance

The gang was down (a total of 11 Jammers and friends went down, it was a quite a mini reunion at the Esplanade) to catch the stage performance, Avenue Q - The Musical at the Esplanade on Saturday afternoon.


Avenue Q - Uncensored and Uncut!

What's Avenue Q, some of you might wonder? Well, it's a musical, and involves puppets talking about adult stuff. Yes, heavy adult stuff. Based on the ever famous, Sesame Street, the puppets are here are more 'matured', and one of the puppets, Trekkie Monster loves Porn and believes that the Internet IS for PORN. Haha! Check out youtube.com for some clips on the musical. It's hillarious!


Some other pics taken during the trip:

Jason's Birthday!

Somehow, I reckon this blog will not be dormant for a long time... We now have another update! And this one is about Jason's birthday!

It was Honnie's birthday last weekend, and the Thorns together with our mates from the gym decide to throw a big gathering for our birthday boy - a sequel to our earlier mini celebration at Langkawi.

Pics here are taken at Mum's Place restaurant, Damansara Perdana. I will not elaborate more, and let the pics do the talking!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!












































Hope you like your birthday party that we threw and the birthday gifts that we've gotten you!

With love from all of us!

Men's Health Marathon - August 2008

It seems the some of us can't just stop having fun!

Back from our Langkawi trip, tanned and rested, some of us decided to burn the tarmac on last Sunday's Men's Health Marathon at the Lake Gardens, KL.

Darryl was very enthusiastic bout the race, and got most of us to join it. At first we wanted to join the Fun Run category as we were joining just for the fun of it, and we even joked that we wanted to camp out after 200 meters from the start line - rolling our mats out and enjoying our nasi lemak and roti canai!

To be honest, it was a relunctant decision for me to join the marathon as I was still nursing a high fever - it was 38.5 on Friday afternoon and I was still having fever on Saturday evening! But I was thinking hard bout it and realised that I didn't want to miss out on the fun, although it wasn't really my cuppa of tea! But I'm glad I did!

Soon the few us met up over at the Lake Gardens and soon our adventure began!

I'll again stop on the commentary and let the pics do the talking!

Congrats to the guys - KK, Eugene, Ehsan, Brian, Darryl and Jason for successfully completing the whole 10km race! Woooot! And for Jason even more coz he sprained both of his ankles in the process! (Now that's what I call determination!)

p/s: Yeah, some of you were wondering how on earth did I managed to finish the entire race. Well to be honest, I ran for approximately 1km, walked for 6km, and the remaining 3km I was in an ambulance.... :P
