Pleasant Little Suprises

~if not interested in reading many names which you wouldn't know, skip to moral at the end~

Dengue fever fiasco over... Today was the first day that i've been out of the house the WHOLE year! haha.. sorry lah, i guess drama is something i can't kick.
Anyway, decided to throw all recovery caution to the wind (despite the nagging feeling i still have a mild fever) and took up the Stellarians' offer to go out to Maisons on Asian Heritage Row. Why? 3 good reasons (in my mind)
1) i needed to get out of the house! emotionally unstable for various reasons
2) i've never been to Asian Heritage Row!
3) Last chance to see Chee for probably the next year. *sigh* evil unsynchronised holiday times...
So Sujen and I naturally were the first there, naturally the ones who had to wait for others with a drink at the mamak and naturally still had to wait outside the club (albeit minus the indecision of where to go this time)
First surprise of the night, a very disctinctive loud voice coupled with an even more distinctive figure - lo and behold .... PV!!! Good to see him after hearing his drunken/hangover shenanigans online.. Been 2 years!
Next up, I glimpse Suddy walking by, followed by .. Tom Foreman! I knew he would be in town from Melbourne but never planned to meet him there.. and haven't seen him for a year. Also, pleasant surprise.
Haha, then Terence and I are talking and I mention mutual friend Matthew. We both spend time discussing why he has fallen out of favour and lo and behold! Matthew appears! I took the liberty of just avoiding contact all night although really, i don't know why.
Various other people I can't be bothered mentioning 'cos i couldn't be bothered saying Hi to.
Later into the night, coming back from the overheated (but much better than freaking Thai Cowboy) dancefloor, see someone glimpse at me and then turn around as i pass by. Was it? Yes it was... Weng Lum! Pah... studying for exam my arse. Engineers are all the same all over the world. haha.. Party now, cram later. =)
On top of that, saw LG Chee after about 3 months, saw Goatie Wern Jin after about 2 years!, saw my Buddy Lee after about 1 month, Tracy after about 1 year, Ling Foong after ... a while, and Sookie after about 2 months! haha... oh well, regardless, those people have a special place somewhere. Except maybe Goat.

Moral: There are only so many nightspots in KL that people congregate to. Once in a while, it's nice to see who you can catch up with, cos it's still nice feeling that the world is a small place. But i can't do it everyday - the smoke is just too much.
