Dinner with TSTS
Had a great time having dinner with TSTS yesterday. By Mun Hoe's recommendation, we went to Vienna International for a seafood buffet. At first, I thought it would be a very westernised restaurant haha but everyone working there were from China! Mun Hoe joked that it had to be called Vienna because no one would go there if it was called Guangzhou International and everyone was laughing :-D That aside, the food was quite good and the service was above average, one thing was that the table that was given to us was too small and when I asked the waitress for a bigger one, she said that it belonged to someone but when we've finished eating and the restaurant was almost closing, no one took that table and I was quite pissed with that Oban, totemo kechi ne, sono ahou! Our favourites were the butter fried prawn, scallop, crispy durian, buddha jump over the wall and of course the desserts. If I can't remember the rest, the rest would probably fill it in in their blogs. Speaking of the Buddha jump over the wall, Amelia was asking why they called it that and I jokingly said that one day Buddha wanted to eat chicken and went to the farm to steal the chicken(which made them laugh, effectively) and had to jump over the wall to escape from the farmer. They then said that Buddha doesn't steal... ey joke lah(I even have Jesus jokes). And of course over dinner we were talking about what we've been up to since the last TSTS meeting. Amelia working and blaming Don for not jioing her to go clubbing(an activity I don't fancy nor understand), Peiying working(!) 3 jobs(superwoman), Don working in his island(and dreaming of opening the TSTS bakery, prawn farm and earning his first billion in afew years time), and Mun Hoe and I having a good time lazing at home. After dinner, there was this stage that had this power ranger road show performance earlier with obviously no sign of any power rangers in sight. So Don, Mun and I went to the stage with an idea of staging some power ranger battle with no idea who was playing the good or bad guy and the girls filming our "mini-epic". Anyway, Mun gave some ideas and left the acting to Don and I and saying his "ideas" were good enough. In Don's word "Mun, you're not a man"(we even had to drag him to do the jetty jump in Tioman even with his life jacket on!). Ok, scene 1: good vs evil(up to interpretation) 2 idiots w/o costumes jumps out of the curtains. Character 1(Don) tries to hit Character 2(me). Character 2 dodges by rolling away and coming back to punch character 1(who sees no point in continuing to act and claps away) who goes without saying, loses. There you have it, our 15 minutes of fame. Ey, we even had people other than the TSTS watching the performance leh, who knows we can be the next Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt..... yeah right, only in our dreams..... all bull crap! Ok, so the TSTS had to part after that and it marked an end of yet another amazing meeting with the Syndicate. Everyone went home happy and I, with a stomach full of stitches after stuffing myself silly and rolling on the stage during the my mini "Duel of fates". Next up, shopping this sunday with the Syndicate. Tomolo's activity, Swimming with the TK Clan and Star Wars later in the evening with Wei Xun and yes, life cannot get better than that(only if I could get my hands on more money and life would be perfect but alas, C'est La Vie).
