Happy 50th Merdeka! Labels: Updates...
But our changing room was a bit 'cooler' though. It was the hotel's poolside massage shack. (Wait, I remember someone has the pictures so pls send them to me!) So, we just drew the bamboo blinds and go into our costumes as King Ronnie starts his own Which-Hotel-I-Slept-In account.

DAY ONEAfter the meeting with the hosts, the Kings’ first charity performance of the year 2007 was set on 15 July, 8pm at the (see title) to an audience of youths between ages 17 and 26, who suffer(ed) from cancer, the CancerChamp. The Kings ‘planned’ their departure from the office at 6am on the day only to successfully execute their ‘plan’ one and a half hours later. Besides, it was just less than five hours after the Kings returned from their post-event supper. King Chi Ho was on the wheels as he lead the rest of the Kings and Queen Dora in his royal chariot, better known to the Kings as the ‘Airplane’ (Disclaimer: nothing to do with King Niggy’s shoes.)
Its close to a five-hour drive and first stop, its Teluk Intan to drop off some supplies to King Niggy’s sister, who was posted there on medical duties. And any stop outside of the
We hit the road again shortly. The wet weather was slowing us down a bit and when the troupe was dozing off, the Kings indulged into a spate of ‘What would you do …’ questions and this is one of my personal favourites;
(long and silent ponder)
King Joonie: …pray.
As The Kings cranked down the trunk road, the stress on the Airplane’s rear suspensions sounded more and more obvious. It was a worry for the troupe and dodgy roadside signboards with unreliable distance indicators didn’t help much. After a couple of hours, the King spotted a large wooden arch that read ‘Swiss Garden Golf Resort and Spa, Damai Laut’ and followed the arrows, convinced that they’re nearing their destination. 
However, to reach the promise land, the Kings trundled through a wavier road littered with speed bumps and dotted with muddy marshes of either side. But it was all worth it, as the view of the straits greeted the Kings at the lobby. The room was pre-booked so all the Kings needed to do was to claim the keys, find the room, settle down and very soon, they were off to lunch.
After lunch, the Kings visited their ‘audience’ in various activities to rebuild their social lives that was lost en route to recovery. One of the activities came under The Actors Studio banner, courtesy of
Despite the lack of practice, The Kings still managed to take a dip and few rounds of water polo. Dinner was served at 7pm and despite being late, The Kings still managed to gobble up some ground and a few more minutes to get into their ‘In-Laws’ costumes before the curtain opens. The response for ‘Meet the In-Laws’ great each time it taps on the funny sides of
It was a sweet end to the night though; the CancerChamps ripped out three ‘Hip-hip horrays’ to the Kings as a token of appreciation before the crowd huddled in for an informal photo taking session. I almost got a tan from the camera flashes! And what sweeter end to the night with some liquid gold and dodging new found acquaintances.
DAY TWO
Well, there was nothing much on Day Two. Woke up around 10am, went to have more fun in the pool, got packing, left at about half past noon, had lunch in the nearest town and on the way, The Kings took more photos of Kings doused in slumber.
