Night of Miscommunications

Tuesday night out with Han San, Chris, Kar Shian, Nish,Poh & John @ Wong Poh ( finally ) then drinks at Summer Villa with Kelvin & Jean joining us.

Never was there so many micommunications in a night's outing.
1. HanS thought I was driving, because Chris's sms said I would meet at his house. Usually when we do go out, Han San will drive. So, he got a little excited thinking that for once he will be driven.
2. I thought Chris was to meet at Han San house too. So when Nish called and asked for the house number, I told her I would buzz Han San for it. Nish said it was OK, she would call Chris. 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 Chris 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 Chris mentioned Wong Poh.
4. So there we were (Han San & 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 Kar Shian who we were frantically searching for because of the change of place. After a few missed calls & SMS, finally Kar Shian 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 Chris'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 Terny to ffk them for the morning hike at Gasing..again.
