Mission#4:Night of Miscommunications

24th Oct,: Tuesday night out with HanS, ChrisC, KShian, Nish,Poh & John @ Wong Poh ( finally ) then drinks at Summer Villa with KelL & Jean joining us.

Never was there so many micommunications in a night's outing.
1. HanS thought I was driving, because ChrisC sms's said I would meet at his house. Usually when we do go out, HanS will drive. So, he got a little excited thinking that for once he will be driven.
2. I thought Chris was to meet at HanS house too. So when Nish called and asked for the house number, I told her I would buzz HanS for it. Nish said it was OK, she would call ChrisC. So I left it at that. So poor Nish had to wait in the car for half and hour.. because I was late. I had to turn around to get the bottle of wine.
3. Apparently ChrisC was to meet us at the dinner place - Pantai Seafood. The time she got there, the restaurant was filled, and the line was till Timbaktu. So quick change of plans, we moved to Wong Poh.. Well ChrisC mentioned Wong Poh.
4. So there we were (HanS & I) finally in Wong Poh, soaking from the rain, ordering our food, when i called Nish ( who was tailing HanS & I ) to check on her whereabouts. "We are in Starlight. ChrisC is here. We've got a table and we've ordered tea". huh?
5. Finally we were all in Wong Poh except for KShian who we were frantically searching for because of the change of place. After a few missed calls & SMS, finally KShian called. He left his phone at home and he was waiting for half and hour at Pantai Seafood... ooooopsssssss.

The food broke the jinx. Everything went on well after.

Menu of the night :
Cheese crabs, ham tan crabs, kung poh lai liu ha, 1 soup with gazillion balls, kai lan garlic, deep fried otak, spring onion ginger brands chicken essence frogs legs, yim kuk kai & mantau buns.. burp!

Next stop. Wine at ChrisC's home.
John brought the evillest drink - Bali Tuak. 40% alcohol. erm, i didn't quite enjoy the taste on it's own. I thought i was drinking "toner". But, a shot of that into Sunkist Orange Juice...plus after half a bottle of wine, everything is A OK!

We stayed till 2.30am, just reminiscing about old times - which was only 10 years ago( i sound like an old lady !). The days of school, the days of college, then touching a little on venus & mars stuff and after a whole load of drinks debating marketing cases ( that was the wine talking!)

At 3am, I had to text TY to ffk them for the morning hike at Gasing..again.
