Est modus in rebus

 

Yesterday was one of those lovely days where

you have interesting conversations throughout.

Sometimes you realise that this is precisely why

you push your body despite fatigue or what have …

to fuel your brain and heart, to help you last longer

and happier!

(Okay, so the beer helps too.  ….. okay, actually it helps

a lot.)

Had a nyonya lunch with a certain journo boss lady who is

cool enough to drink beer during lunch and think nothing of it.

Topics discussed: Twitter, politics, journalism, Twitter, er.. business

models, and err. Rosmah.

Sigh.

 

Later on in the evening I went to Vijen Tham’s birthday

dinner (about 3 days early), where we gorged ourselves

with Japanese at Crystal Crown PJ’s Sango Japanese

Restaurant. The special meat ball was so heavenly

I’m salivating just thinking about it again. Overall

the food was all juicy, the meats succulent, and even the

closing ice-cream dessert was lush as well.

Mike “Five Thirty” Ham was so excited about the food he

kept on ordering more stuff for me. Until. I. Could. Not.

Hack. It. Anymore.   …….

until the ice-cream came lah, of course ;)

 

Happy Birthday dear pigeon and thamby!

<3 Pigeon. Still scary if he drags you out to drink though.

I still remember the SS3 7-Eleven sessions, where we would

drink chat till the morning and he would greet the newspaperman

delivering papers to the shop, like they were best friends.

He’d get a free papers lah, wtf   -_-

 

Sango Topics:

Plastic surgery for men (!!eeek!!), Restaurant/Bar building costs

and strategies (I have entrepreneurs as friends, bless), wedding

invitations and prep work (Make that soon-to-be-married

friends too) , the relentless pursuits of a certain boy, and H1N1.

 

The best of all, though, were the discussions launched at

Sid’s (2), the one where Reza & Khim & Brian & I joined

my dear friend LeeAnn and her friends for some drinks

and chatting. Some chatting it turned out to be!

Topics of Discussion:

Visas, London, Italy, China, Peat fires, Pesta Songsang

ie arena untuk ‘berkepit’ (Ridonculous), Twitter (Yes, again),

Boggle, Pulau-pulau in Malaysia, Reality TV shows,

Speidi (Yuck), Models in Malaysia, Paperdolls, Boom Boom

Room, ROSMAH. Dan lain-lain-lain-lain lagi.

Yes, I think I must accept that somehow, conversations

about the Prime Minister’s wife have been increasing

of late, I think in proportion to her appearance

in the papers. I seriously think a certain somebody’s

strategists should seriously look into this matter.

I cannot emphasise the word ‘seriously’

enough. ‘It don’t look pretty’ is putting it

mildly.

THE epic topic last night though, and I think EPIC is the

correct word to use …. was the Angelina Jolie versus Jennifer

Aniston debate. I say DEBATE, because it morphed into one,

where people stood up to argue their points, Joliepitt geeks

fans like Khim & I used historical (ahem) information to back

our facts, Reza stood on a chair to call for order, there was Frank

the Sid’s staffer who enthusiastically joined in to stand

up for Aniston, lots of Booos, Oh Noooooos, Ah Eleehhhhhs

and table thumping to boot.

It was so hilarious I  think we should have taped the bloody

thing. Who knew such a topic would spark such

fire and opinions, even from nonHollywood nonsense gossip

aficionados?

What a laugh, what a night.
