This weekend i went on a cruise with my colleagues, it was a great time to get away together and spend about 48hrs on a ship that was going nowhere together. There was definitely lots of food, drinks, dancing and mindless entertainment like Jenga, Pit, bluff and basket ball on the top deck.

For the married ones, this also means leaving the family behind for the weekend and for some its the chance to become like a uni student on a school holiday all over again.

It was sure a memorable trip with colleagues and we would have stories to tell for sure.

The visually beautiful thing about the trip (can you even call it a trip if we are going nowhere?) is not the ship, but the endless beautiful horizon during sunset, breakfast, lunch, all the time. Its definitely a nice and beautiful view i would love out of my office window any day.

I’ve always loved the subculture of skating and i would have to say for skateboarding, i think Rodney Mullen’s style is by far the most technical. Its not about big airs or poping big time, but just sheer small technical flicks that say “hey lets try this… lets try that… what if…” Its all about experimenting, committing, practice and practice.

Maybe thats what passion is all about… keep trying, keep being curious, committing and being consistent.

Thats why i’m into Rodney Mullen’s style.

Another flick for another fix.

After last year’s Oktoberfest and the festive pack i bought recently, i knew i had to come for this year’s, it was way fun. I did not have that much fun in quite a long time.

After reaching Merchant Loop, you could clearly see the large tent that housed dunno how many liters upon liters of Erdinger.

When inside, the atmosphere forced you to think about nothing else but the food, the beer and your friends that are there with you.

This year the tent was much bigger than 2006 and i’m not suprised, cuz last year it was so good, you can expect the organisers to make it bigger and better this year.

The crowd was fun, people stood up on their benches and tables and groving away at the music that filled the tent.

Our group went up to the dance floor and danced to the familiar tunes from the 80s and a bit from the 90s. There was also alot of jumping to certain songs.

We all had beer of cause and i only had 2 which is little as compared to the group i was with. I had 2 regular sized ones, and just sips from the gigantic ones which is about 6 regular ones.

We all had fun, food, beer, dancing and alot of laughter… what can one ask for more on a friday evening… Look out for Erdinger Oktoberfest 2008!!

Using Simpsonizeme.com, i uploaded a picture of Pearl and myself and this is what came out. Way cool. If you do one for yourself, do comment on this post and let me know where i can see the Simpsonized you.
