`My journey of Complex Complications and Happy Happiness

Thursday, April 28, 2005

Macvis, Jennifer, Lynn, Irwin, Edmund and Raymond was supposed to go swenson for dinner cum ice cream. But in the end cos they sick of swenson, pinky suggested chijmes. She even printed out a whole list of restaurants from the internet... We settled for the spanish restaurant called Ocho Spanish Tapas Bar. Raymond was late (nothing new) so we ordered without him.

Dishes ordered:

Tortilla Espanola - Spanish Omelette
Paella de Marisco - Prawns, Squids, Fish & Mussels
Pallo al Chilindron - Panfried Chicken with Cured Ham, Spanish Onions & Peppers
Croquetas de Queso y Polio - Chicken & Cheese Croquettes
Cangrejo Frito con Mayonesa de Ayo - Deepfried Softshell Crab with Garlic Mayonnaise
Calamares Fritos - Deepfried Squid Rings
Paella de Carnes - Chicken, Chorizo, Pork & Beef
Lechazo Asado al Castellano - Roasted Lamb Rack in Red Wine Sauce

Sounded impressive. Actually the food is okie but the servings very small and the services is damn lousy. Anyway when the food came, we took lots of pictures first was the baked snail... Taste was not too bad but not my category of food. We took pics until irwin cannot stand us...
Somehow something is missing cos during the one hour plus, there were no nonsense!!!!!
Until dont know who suggested 85... Cos we were really not full!!!!
We then walked to the hotel to try get a london cab. On the way... I really dont want to remember this but macvis already mentioned so!!! I was totally embarrassed cos i asked a very stupid question and they really laughed like mad while crossing the road. Another guy was talking to his gf half way and he turned and stared at me when i asked them about 85!!!
Then i think thats when all the nonsense started... Edmund was holding a few coins then mac suggested he put under the pillow to grow money then raymond was saying the fairy will come and give him money etc.. Then edmund will benefit more cos the fairy should be an ang moh and US curency convert to S$ better... Then all the stupid things bout the fairy hitching a ride from aeroplane cos US to singapore very far. Laughed until my intestines tangled...
When we reached 85, we had even more laughters... From the moment we sat down to the time we finish crapping... Pick up the soap, telephone area code down there is +000 etc, we shall meet down there when we die and go to the downthere version of zouk and cb. Hahaha!!!

At some point in time, us 'hongkongers' cant stand the heat and had to bring out papers to fan ourselves at 85. That night, we took pics of snails, $4 croquettes, $2 bar chor mee candid pics of raymond reminiscing his childhood, and nice and ugly pic of aunties. Opps!

But i think since we left school, all of us aged quite a bit cos our thinking mature le... All the thoughts of taking care of children, marriage etc... Thats life...
