As I mention this trip is kinda academic purpose, we supposed to have night trekking on the first night but due to heavy rain, the trekking was cancelled. Therefore, we end up spent our time in the hall and listen to the introduction of the entire EMKAY group.

Of course, We found our own activities in this perfect windy night.

It was Henry's birthday as well, so we went kitchen to find something like muffin or little cakes and candles.

And we manage to find a little muffin with a candle on it.. So, make your wish.
