An evening in the Attic...

Pardon the previous post, it was not an excuse for some emotional diarrhoea but more of i-have-nothing-to-say kind of post. And just as i was trying to figure out a topic to ramble on about, things made a shift.

Today or should i say, yesterday was a complete spur of the moment kind of deal. It started off with an excursion to KLCC because MissSeniorPisces had a lunch date, AnBloodyMum had an emergency birthday Raoul shirt hunt and i, well... had nothing better to do so went along with SuperHeroShuz for the adventure. And instead of AXN's Amazing Race... we created our very own and the minute we got out of the LRT station we dispersed into the crowd.

By the time we got back to the office, it was pissin' down hardcore and the last place i wanted to be was cooped up in the office. But by the time my afternoon meeting was done and i had doodled some work, it was nearing the end of day. [Funny how time seems to go by fast when you're not paying attention].

Possom wanted to have nooOOooo-dulls [pronounced in an Hong Kong style accent] for dinner. So instead of strolling home and spending an evening slumped in my bean bag and Smooks past out by my feet, i agreed. MissSeniorPisces decided to join us and we ended up eating Thai.

We were informed that Attic was having an open mic session. So me being the anti-social one grumbled about how i was tired and was in no mood to listen to a bunch of strangers sing. But never mind, after a little persuasion, i agreed.

SuperHeroShuz was there with some friends, one of which used to be an ex colleague and who used to be my AE for an account that gave me nightmares. A little of catching up was done but most importantly was studying the drinks menu and deciding my choice in alcohol. I opted for white wine. Not only does red wine stain your teeth but for some reason makes me sleepy and/or more touchy feely, probably not a good combination... [we're moving on].

So anyway, as the night progressed and so did my glasses of wine, i managed to hear Carmen Soo sing and declare that she sings in the shower... hmmmm... And although i can't comment too much about the voice, i give her brownie points for being able to pick the right spot away from the spotlight to avoid shadows under the eyes [i guess being under the lights gives one a lot of practice].

So yea, 3 and a half hours post our agreed time that we said we'd leave, i admit i had a good night... CHEERS to MissSeniorPisces for stickin' around whilst i finished my wine!

But what a small world it is because i bumped into so many ex colleagues tonight, it was like a mini open house except i paid for my drinks. Numerous "Oh my gawd, how are you's" were exchanged followed by cheek to cheek kisses. And apart from the abundance of individuals who batted for the same team, the atmosphere was not only quaint but pleasant. Yes this self proclaimed anti-social one, did schmooze tonight and made frequent visits to the balcony as the place is non-smoking.

Oh and i must add one particular individual caught my fancy at the beginning but going by the striped trousers and black shoes with gold buckles, it was obvious i was the wrong gender. By the end of the night i asked an ex colleague and to my disappointment, he confirmed it.

Oh well... perhaps JPuppies was right, i should consider keeping to where the grass is definitely greener... i'll probably have better luck. Nah, being greedy isn't all that bad or is it?

Only difference is one has marriage on the cards and the other prefers his own gender... but never mind, footwear has no preference/choice when it comes to the owner.
