Sweet Reunion

I attended a wedding dinner of an ex-colleague of mine on Saturday night, which happened to be the first wedding dinner invitation that was addressed personally to me (the wedding dinners I attended were usually my relatives' so they were addressed to my parents). Gosh I'm getting OLD enough to receive such invites! Soon enough I will be bombarded by questions about my marriage and all!

Anyways, this ex-colleague of mine was rather my supervisor when I had a short stint of 2-month period in this locally listed hospitality company back in early 2007. I was totally surprised to receive her sms one day telling me that she was getting married (after all she was only a year elder, which was even more surprising as it was so young for her to be getting married at the age of 25, at least to me it is!). It had been a while since we kept in contact, and that was the first thing I heard about her! A pleasant surprise indeed!

As I do not have my own transport, arrangements were made such that one of my other ex colleagues could car pool. Yet another pleasant moment through out the journey as we were catching up fervently.

There was a full table at the dinner dedicated to all her ex colleagues from the same place. It was wonderful to see some of the familiar faces, and amazingly most of them remembered me although I only worked there for such a short time! (At least some remembered my face though not my name haha!) And to think that 8o% of the occupants at the table had already moved on to work somewhere else, isn't calling this occasion a reunion befitting? :)

So soon enough, bantering and catching up had started even before the first dish was served. All I could say that this was the least boring and quiet wedding dinner I'd been to!

Yet, the dinner wasnt the end of all after a near 2-year hiatus. Coincidentally it was the birthday of one of my ex colleagues. Thus, after dinner, 4 of the closer us continued with a drinking session and a simple birthday celebration at this cosy cafe somewhere in wangsa maju with amazingly friendly servers. We ended up playing pool until 2 in the morning!

Those where the times when I truly enjoyed myself. No stress, no hiccups, just simple laughthers and ridiculuos jokes!

Till the next reunion!

FY, wish you eternal happiness with your loved ones, and jolly marriage!

On another note, do not give up, Isaac. Learn your mistakes and you'll be on your way to realise your dream. Forget about being a "Sunny Pretty Boy"!
