A really long weekend

Craving : Chao Har Lok (Deep fried prawns in batter)

Phew! What a long weekend it has been for me. While the rest of Selangor and KL are at work, I'm at home and about doing my own thing..thanks to the free holiday my boss just handed us. Monday and Tuesday off so hooray! But let me do a recap of my weekend.

Friday night was nice as I got to meet up with a friend I have been neglecting for a bit. Sat around at Williams (twice, thanks to some 4 stomach animal) and exchanged stories till the wee hours of the morning. Had many laughs and chit chatted about stories old and new, especially about 'Pulau Jalan'. Hahaha...That night it also seemed like lots of Taman SEA ppl were about at Williams, and three of the seven 'Sau' sisters were there too. Even got to see Melvin again, even though he was just there to pick up his girlfriend, who incidentally enough is one of the 'Sau' sisters...hahaha. Slept really late which was bad considering I had to wake up early the next day but it was well worth it.

On to the next morning, I got up early (well early for a saturday) and left the house before 9 to pick up a couple of friends. We had been planning for a couple of weeks to meet up and hang out just the three of us and this was the day to do it. Was abit sleepy at first, but once I met up with them the sleepiness just went away. It was laughter from the first moment and even though there were some serious times, I am glad we were able to spend that time together hanging out. We watched Fantastic Four and had Ba Kut Teh for lunch. Some people I tell you really got some problem, dunno what is wrong with them, always try to zap me with static electricity only..too much I telll you. We had to travel from PJ to Subang and back more then a few times. Five times in fact, and to the same blady house too! I tell really too much man...my poor petrol.... Hahaha. Thanks for the great time you two, hope you two enjoyed it as much as I did.

Sunday was well Sunday. It was the same as it was every week except that I didn't go out for breakfast this time around. Instead I stayed back and had 3 plates of sphagetti. (I can just hear Ean Chee threatening not to speak to me now..hahaha). Was really good stuff, especially the pork sauce. Then again I don't really like the sourish beef-tomato sauce that so many others like. I'm more of a savoury-spicy fan myself. MMMMmmmm.....looks like I should do some cooking tonight, but I just wonder if I have the time...anyway I digress. Back to Sunday. Altough I didn't go out for breakfast, I did do a quick delivery run, dropping of four packages of various sizes at a house in DU. Just amazing how much noise can be generated by four simple packages isn't it..hahaha. Was invited for a drink with them, but I couldn't make it as I had some stuff to do back in church. So sorry yeah...some people are just popular you know? hahah..just kidding. Provided transport for the student com that afternoon and poked my nose into their first meeting too. Too bad futsal was canceled that evening due to rain. Shucks!

Ahhhh......so now we come to the first of my free rest days. Monday! I did some house chores in the morning. Mostly stuff I had promised my mum but had put off for awhile. Then took a quick shower and picked up Yoong Yit so we could meet Grace and Kelvin for lunch at Monesh. Gave Charles a call and asked him along as well. Now I had thought we were going out to makan, you know maybe in pyramid or something. Turns out the girls had other plans. We were going to makan in the cafeteria instead. So I drove around in an almost empty tank of petrol looking for parking so we could go in to Monesh. Thank goodness when the petrol meter in cars say empty, there is usually a good 30 -60 km or so left in the tank. So we were at the cafeteria eating when Charles comes along and joins us. Then he comments 'You know all my time here I have only been in the cafeteria twice, both times for free pizza'. Then I being the nice person that I am, casually laid the blame on the girls. After all it is onli fair right? I mean when I can meet up with the one that studies in singapore as much as the one who studies here, they deserve so ribbing don't they? Hahaha Oh yes. And one more thing. I finally got to wear my birthday present from the Tropical Penguin. Been wanting to wear it for awhile but it is not really appropriate for most places..hahaha...it's a T-shirt that goes...

Thanks Penguin! I will definately put it to use when you get back...hahaha

And so finally today. Just got back from lunch with YS. Went and picked her up and went to BK in Hartamas for lunch. The fun part however was getting to her office in the first place. Since I had never been there before, I was a little frightned that I would get lost, after all I don't exactly have the best sense of direction. However with some directions from YS and a map from the website I got there safetly, although I was like 20 minutes early. Strangely this always happens when I try to plan for getting lost and jams. It is as if you only get lost and get caught in a jam when you don't plan for it. Evil things I tell you, they just keep sneaking up on you. So lunch was fun, thought we got lost a couple of times to BK but fortunately for us, that did not happen. Had fun chatting and doing lunch, and we really must do that more often. Unfortunately considering we work on opposite sides of town, it looks like we'll have to wait till the next time one of us gets a holiday.
