Planning for Post-ABC 2nd Dinner

Okay, Tai Kim Wone, one of the trekkers in the recent Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) treks, is organizing a dinner at Kuala Lumpur which is planned in August 2008. This time, the main criteria are to select a restaurant that offers good food and karaoke room for singing.

We realize that a few of the trekkers could sing while we were having our celebration in Nepal immediately after descent from ABC. In that cold and rainy night at Bee Hive View Guesthouse in Kyumi, Nepal (two days after descent from ABC), we were celebrating in a small but cozy dining room.

Cheers! Cheers!

Imagine 12 trekkers, 6 porters, 2 mountain guides and Cheban (Trek and Tour Agent in Nepal) were packed in a 13x13 feet room. While Cheban and his mountain guides and porters were singing the Nepalese folks songs, the Malaysian trekkers were trying to show their singing ability by singing some Western, Chinese and Malay oldies.

That evening, the Nepalese songs sounded better and Cheban and his team were better singers. We were tapping our feet amidst the melodious songs though we could feel the vibration of the room were a bit unusual. Next morning, we saw that the dinning room was actually mounted to the side of a cliff next to the roaring river!!
