ACC 2011 Cebu

Date: Sep 29, 2011

So far, Enjoying the trip. Fruitful meet up, seeing old friends, food, drinks, etc...

Mabuhay Cebu!



The typhoon did not affected Cebu at all. But pity for those who come via Manila, there was a strike at the airport and lots of friends stranded in Manila.

In Cebu, weather is just fine.



The event was held in Shangri La Mactan. The registration process is good. The conference pass is nice and big too.



First night hosting a late dinner to my friends from Malaysia. The seafood restaurant at Movenpick, a hotel just beside Shangri La simply cannot make it! The only food that worth to go into this entry is this colorful mud cake.


On second day, we skipped the conference dinner. And a gang of good friends came to this Abaca restaurant, just 5 minutes walk from Movenpick. It is a boutique hotel with very nice food.


The Champagne and wines from the duty free are ready. Not in the pictures are the other few bottles of red and whisky.



Tonight is Lao Chek - Keith's birthday. So, this is a creme burlee birthday cake.


Happy Birthday Keith! Some friends take leave and flew Tiger Air just to join in this memorable event.


The wood charcoal grill chicken is said to be very nice.


The charcoal prawns is said to be very nice too.



But this charcoal grill steak, with the fat fat portion is really really good. Almost as good as the Cote du Beef @ LBDS.


Of course the thin crust pizza was nice too. I was too hungry and forgot to take a photo of it!

Then, we walk back to Movenpick and open our whisky for second round celebration with proper birthday cake.



A fun night, a fun party by the pool side. Some broken back mountains ah Laos by the swimming pool... Good company, lots of liquor, talking cock, and laughters.


3rd Day, as usual, waking up 6am in the morning... I am ready for the run!



This year very lucky to get 138. 一生发!


Benedict is in the run too. A 5KM run which is not too bad for a morning exercise.


Last year, I wore my Crocs to run. And this year, I got proper shoes.



However, this gung-ho Sue (left) first time in Cebu, and she wore a slipper to run. Yes those sand slippers.



And a very disappointing performance for Jocelyn (right above) drop a place and come in no. 3. She was runner up last year event.

As for me, half run have walk came in 45 min together with the slipper girl. Haha

Another day to go, and will be going home soon.
