Few days ago, i finally met up with some friends from high school. Planned it on Fri night itself with Kian How thru msn and then the next morning i had to call up the others.. it was quite last minute, esp when Kian How had to leave on Sun morning..So i guess we had to meet before he goes back to the States and we'll not see him for a few more yrs (he said he won't be back for 5-10 yrs)..But it's understandable, esp when he has to work and pay for his own air tickets etc..and also, it's better to work over there than over here since he's doing music synthesis and film scoring (..imagine him making music for local production like cicakman 2..definitely not a good prospect to work in that industry in Bolehland huh? )..Who knows, in a few yrs time we might get to watch a hollywood movie and see his name on the credits =) speaking of work, he's working for a video game company to compose music for them..pretty cool huh?
Anyways..other than Kian How, i managed to called up Jason to join us..This boy..sigh..Haven't met him for so many yrs though we were just staying abt 5-10 minutes apart from each other..He thought that i went overseas and i thought he went overseas =.=" I do remember the times in high school when we were close and he used to bully and play with my sis alot..i do not remember who bullied who though..Probably my sis being the one to bully him, knowing her..
Initially, i thought this last minute thing would fail since Fendi said he had sth to do with his mum that night..But i was so glad when he called me up in the evening and said he'll be able to make it =) That's when we all finally decided to meet at William's around 9.30pm..Around 8.30pm, it was drizzling at Ming Tien at Taman Megah..i started getting disappointed since i thought i would not be able to meet them if it rained heavier..Come to think abt it, i've ordered food at Ming Tien's but i forgot to cancel and left the place =/ should i feel bad abt it? But i prefer to think that the next customer is lucky to have his food earlier since i left..thank goodness the rain stopped after awhile and i manage to get myself over to Jin Fong's hse by 9.30pm and walked over to William's..see how punctual i am? compared to the guys who were all an hour late =.=" What has the world come to, now that it's guys who are showing up later than girls?? I nearly finished my drink by the time they showed up..ooohh..i've had that yummy ice blended ribena with lychee drink =P ordered the tiny one though..Fendi ordered the same drink in super large size that cost abt rm7..but i guess it's worth that price seeing how huge it was..But the garlic bread failed since it was burned and i've had better elsewhere (even at home)..While we were waiting for the guys, i finally understood why Jason said he doesn't want to go to smelly Williams'..I was there smelling the longkang the whole time, esp when it was windy and the wind carries the stench along with it..
It was really nice to meet them and gossip abt things..esp abt things that happen overseas..Both Jin Fong and Kian How were sharing stories abt their coincidental meetings with celebrities like Mel Gibson (in a Malaysian restaurant at Boston's chinatown), Ian McKellan (who???? *shrugs shoulder*), Jason Mraz, Simon Cowell, Kate Winslet etc..Lucky them for meeting those ppl in person in London and US..At one point they were trying to compare racism in the States and London..Apparently, Kian How said that the blacks were very racist over there while the whites were very friendly..and Jin Fong said that the blacks were very friendly in London compared to the angmo's..go figure..But i found it amusing when Kian How said some black kids pointed at him and called him chopsticks, fortune cookies and noodles on different occasions..typical racist stereotyping for asians..But hey, if it happened to me then i would be darn pissed like he was..It was even more amusing when he said that he got molested by a gay..at a bus stop..apparently the gay hit on him with small talks and stuff but he was too dense to realize it (even when the gay got physically closer and closer to him as the conversation proceeded)..and of all a sudden, he heard these words "you're beautiful" followed by a hand that grabbed his crotch area..the funniest part that got us LOL was that he was stunned for 10 secs..10 long secs..i wonder how he can be stunned for so long before telling the guy that he's not what they guy thinks and got onto the 1st bus that arrived..only to realize awhile later that he ended up on the wrong bus just to run away from that guy..
And there we were..gossiping abt anything and everything at a mamak stall..But among the things i got to know thru them, what shocked me the most was the death of a former classmate in form 1 and 2..who used to be my dance partner for a ballroom dance long ago..apparently he died from a seizure 2 months ago..am still wondering abt the cause of seizure and death..but may he RIP..It's always shocking to find out abt deaths of ppl u know..it was the same when i heard abt Seng Heng's fatal car crash on a rainy night right around a corner where he crashed into a tree on his way home (the irony was that his hse was just around 100m away), and also Jeffrey's accident at LDP when he crashed into a construction site and killing 2 workers instantly..It makes me think abt how fragile life can be..just one minute they were alive and healthy, and the next moment they're gone just like that..
Thinking abt these makes me depressed..sigh..
