To all my dear Silk Road trip members: Despite it was quite a tiring trip & many of us fell sick, we had an enjoyable 12-day trip to Silk Road from Sept 20 - Oct 1, 2006. Here are the group photos that I gathered from Angelyne (Choo-Fei), Emily (Ai-Mei-Li), Jason, Jo (Gong-Gong), Ling Ling (Niang-Niang), Penny, Renee, Susan, Yean (Yean-Fei), Dato & myself, together with some of my individual shots. There are definitely lots of sweet memories which I will remember forever. Hope you enjoy seeing the photos as much as I enjoying
