MissOrganiser picked me up from work and we made our way to the reunion dinner. The last time i saw her was at her wedding dinner, nearly 2 years ago. Which is when i saw a few of the others. Isn't it strange how weddings or funerals bring long lost friends/family together. Two extremes, opposite on the scale.
We arrived and we were the 3rd and 4th. The minute we got there the hugs began and the 'OH MY GAWD [insert name]! How are you!?' began. And as we were standing in the doorway of TGIF it was like a huge welcoming and the more of us that turned up, the louder it got. Then being introduced to the +1's and making small talk.
Eventually our table was done up and we went upstairs. The night was full of stories ranging from 'do you remember when..." to random ghost stories. Moving around the table to chit chat with various people and basically doing a short run down of what's been happening. The swapping of the name cards to self pimp one self [hey, that's where networking starts].
There was another table next to us that was celebrating a birthday/farewell/something and as the night progressed so did their alcohol consumption. And because majority of our table were non-drinkers or had just broken their fast, we compensated by our loud voices and fits of laughter.
Eventually i made my way to the other end of the table, sipping my 2nd beer and inhaling my cigarettes after stuffing myself. Sat next to one of the boofy twinz, the engineer NOT the doctor and madame Maya Papayas... eheheh. Updating each other whether we're seeing anyone in particular. Believe it or not, Papaya even remembered my ex's name! Damn, what a good memory. There we sat and chatted about random things. Bursting into laughter over BoofyTwinEngineer's stupid stories and his very little singlet/wannabe crop top breast supporter... ehehe.
Half way through we were excused as one of the staff wanted a poloroid photo taken with MayaPapaya and she graciously excused herself and later returned and signed the bottom of the photo. We continued to talk and cracked jokes and then the camwhoring began. It wasn't so bad seeing that it wasn't my camera, i didn't want to hog NazalNaz's camera.
It was inching closer to midnight and it was time to say good-bye. And as always the farewells were split in stages...
So overall, i had a fantastic night. And i promised to do another get together when Boo-Boo aka my sister and her husband flies down in December. Seeing that the last time they saw my sister was more than 7 years ago. As well as any others who need to take a flight down. We'll do another dinner/drinks... yay for happy hour.

- Standing around and updating our phones with each others' numbers
- The hugs and promises to keep in touch
- When and where we can meet up next for a drunken get together
- Walking closer to the door and squeezing in last minute chit chat
- Repeat Step 2

I feel bad for not remembering, but who is that random chinese couple standing next to Jai and Maya?

so who is missing from this pic....
Joanne, Alicia, MEEEEEE, Eddie, Dr.Boofy, Faris' ex Miss Dong Dongs LOL, Zain, Jamal, Matt, Max.
yeah how come matt didn't go?? he's in KL no?
We'll have to try and get more people to go at Xmas when I'm there :P
Sounds like it was a blast!! Yes organise another one when boo is in KL and slightly more warning this time would be great!!! I thought zain was supposed to be going.. didn't see his picture there.. anyway, the scary part is apart from you everyboyd else looks exactly the same!!! You are just diff because of the hair length!!!
Boo: Well Maya has turned out to be the local superstar... featuring in 2 locally made movies, Channel V VJ, Loreal model, is on practically ever local magazine cover.
lol @ kheng's singlet... yea man, we were giving him shit all night about it... ehhehe.
And the couple beside Jai and Maya is Naz... ummm... *goes does a search to see his full name* Nazrudin Habibur Rahman. He's a host on TV3 and did some Disney Club thing on tv. Remember that RnB group that Zain was in... NRG, Soul Street... well one of the members. And the woman beside him is his girlfriend... who works for NTV7 but i forgot her name.
Matt didn't come out because 'his wife' was cooking therefore could not come out.
Jamal is in Brazil somewhere doing some Capawera soul searching i think.
Zain and wife were supposed to come and so was Lara and Liana but last minute cancelled.
Farrah: Yea, everyone looks the same. And yea i'm going to dig around for old Sunway photos later.
OH and believe it or not Igor was there with the wife. And they have a 1 year old daughter!!!
And i did mention that i want everyone to get together in December and hopefully i can plan the dinner/drinks thing. So yea, will keep everyone updated.
Oh and Jane took quite a few pics on her phone, so once she emails them over, i'll update this post.
Once it's done, i'll notify you all in the shoutbox =)
