Meeting up with an Ex-B dude and dudettes!

You know how sometimes, you have life-long friends even though you only spent a short while with them. I've been lucky that throughout my life I have made those kinds of friends here and there. A particular group of friends that I'd like to blog about today are friends I met when I was a management trainee at this B company. This was my 2nd job. This was 11 years ago ok, I only stayed in that company for about a year and obviously did not complete the training program. However, we still remain friends till now. So far we have made to all the weddings, I think. The only two guys who are maintaining their 1999 status is Ade and Razak both sitted at opposite ends in this picture below.

A week ago, Mr Bachelor no. 1,  Ade who is now working in Dubai came down for a two weeks holiday. Finally after so many years, we met again. The last time he was back last year for Hari Raya, we didn't meet. Since all us girls are happily married, we were pretty anxious with the fact that Ade remains single till now. At the end of the 3 hours with him that day over pre-dinner drinks and dinner, we still could not get any other word from him as to why he is still still single and available other than... Eti, it's complicated! Sigh!!! (the sighing comes more from us than him really). Though we were assured that yes, he still likes women! Thank god!! he!he! The meeting was not planned, luckily I had my camera with me, so I promised him I will be putting him on auction in my blog. So, Ade this update is dedicated to you...


Ade -  didn't know you were camera shy.

Yaya holding on to Ade's thick fat wallet! OMG! Yeay, we were pretty excited by it.


Peace? Gosh, is this the best that you can do??? Tsk!tsk!tsk!

My dinner - the chicken chop in Mdm Kwan's is so huge ok, no joke,
 as big as the plate it came in!

My fellow interrogators being fed to death to minimise questioning!


Mr Interrogatee (or rather Interro-goatee! hi!hi! get it?) stuffing himself
too to avoid answering questions, what else.

On a serious note: Ade and girls, it was lovely seeing all of you! Hope we can do this again soon, this time with the other guys as well huh! Ade, happy going back to Dubai to your lovely Z3 (oops did I just say that?) and, Ade it was nice meeting you again after all these years. Hope the complicated situation would get uncomplicated soon yah! We'd love to attend your big day. Any chance of holding it in Dubai and we'd get paid tickets to attend???

On an even more serious note: Any single girls out there... leave a comment if interested. ha!ha! I'm afraid you'd have to pass us three ex-B girls first ok! ha!ha!

Birthday dedication for hubby.



More than a catbird hates a cat,
Or a criminal hates a clue,
Or the Iranians hate the United States,
That's how much I love you.

I love you more than a duck can swim,
And more than a grapefruit squirts,
I love you more than a gin rummy is a bore,
And more than a toothache hurts.

As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea,
Or a juggler hates a shove,
As a hostess detests unexpected guests,
That's how much you I love.

I love you more than a wasp can sting,
And more than the subway jerks,
I love you as much as a beggar needs a crutch,
And more than a hangnail irks.

I swear to you by the stars above,
And below, if such there be,
As the High Court loathes perjurious oathes,
That's how you're loved by me.

My thoughts exactly though beautifully put into words by Ogden Nash.

Happy Birthday to my hubby, may you have a wonderful year ahead. Hope all that you have worked hard and wished for will be yours this year. Looking forward to more birthdays with you and the children.

Yours always, E.
