Meet up with ex-collegemates
Last Fri was Chong Yu’s birthday so I thought, why not have a little yam cha session back at Setapak..their usual place of hangout at BRJ mamak restaurant. Waited at Coffee Bean opposite Hilton for Wee Yee and Zeng Quan to pick me up. Got a call from Zeng Quan to spot for a green MyVi at the corner of the traffic light and there it was making a u-turn. Got into the car and we started being our old chitty-chatty self, blabbering all nonsense with the usual lame jokes and also keeping track of some old mates who I’ve haven’t heard after the graduation.
God…it was an awful jam along the way to Setapak via the Federal Highway, plus the medium drizzling. If we’d known, should’ve taken the LDP instead. It’s already 9pm when we’re only halfway there. The jam was seriously unbearable. And I’m actually keeping the birthday boy and Shion Chung waiting back at Setapak LOL. When we got there, had difficulty finding a parking space..dang..people should have started leaving the place back to hometown by today as it’s the last day of examination at college. Yet, the entire row is being occupied. Can’t remember how many turns did Wee Yee take but it was definitely more than 3 and there..a good spot, finally.
Still partly drizzling, I started calling them down. Decided to settle in BRJ. And what coincidence, the big screen tv’s playing American Idol auditions in Boston LOL..though I’ve already watched it from Star World. Shion Chung arrived…with someone familiar..oh it’s Sook Mei LOL..didn’t know she’s still living in Alpha Condo. Chong Yu came a short after. As we sat down and mingled, Sook Mei was interested with my 6680 and she began recording a video of us together. At the same point, we all said happy birthday to Chong Yu..LOL lame as it is…we just said it, didn’t get him anything..not even a cake..some friends hor? =P
I figured since it’s still CNY which I was still in the mood, I suggested to have a game of poker cards or anything, however some of them doesn’t prefer gamble which the end I couldn’t execute the game as not enough kaki to play. Wee Yee had to leave by 12 midnight since he’s gotta work tomorrow. And Zeng Quan has to follow his car anyway since both are living in Klang. I could take the LRT or his car but on second thought, I came all the way here for just a mamak and then return?? No way! I decided to call a night here at Shion Chung’s place.
Wah ding…mana tau they both left for CC to play DOTA!! Wth…and made me waited there miserably to finish..not just 3 hours or so but 6 hours with the package!! I was never a fan of strategy games so yeah C & C, Red Alert or StarCraft never made their way to my comp. However if you’re dealing with CS or Unreal Tournament, that’s a different story…which from that choices, you could tell I favour 1st person shooter games more. Anyway, even if I had left home with them, there’s nothing for me to do the next day so I’d rather spend time here..which clearly made no difference.
Eventually, I accompanied them in the CC till the credit ran over…how foolish could I be..but what the heck I’ve got no transport whatsoever to go home. It was about 4am till Chong Yu ended his. So we had mamak for a while before we proceeded to Shion Chung’s place. Chatted with the roommates till morning..didn’t sleep a wink but doesn’t matter anyway..I’ll be leaving first thing in the morning. About 6 am, Chong Yu picked me to the station and I rode on home and jumped directly onto my cozy bed…
