Gathering of old friends (Nov 2011)

6 Nov 2011

Met up with a group of old friends on Saturday, after my gym workout.  I was the first visitor to arrive at Wendy & Edmund's cosy home in Bishan.  I spent over 2 hours catching up with Wendy before the rest of the gang showed up.

Wendy was one of my lunch buddies when I joined the company.  She was also my first travel buddy.  We had gone on a 23 days vacation in the USA in 1990 - my first trip abroad without my parents. Time certainly flies !!

While waiting for the rest of the guests to arrive, we had home-made kopi (coffee) and donuts from Donut Factory.  I tried the oreos donut.  It was simply chewy and delicious.

The next guest started streaming in at 5.30pm.  Betty had bought some Ngoh-hiang and finger food from Old Chang Kee @ Junction 8.

Cuttlefish balls & fish balls - from Old Chang Kee.
It was a fun-filled evening - there were lots of news being exchanged around the table.  Some of us have not seen each other for over a year or two.  We were also reminiscing about the good old days in SGT.  While the adults ate their dinner, the teenagers were busy playing soccer on the Sony PS3.

As usual, we have lots of dishes for dinner - fried rice with crabmeat, fried beehoon, deep-fried chicken wings, mango salad and more finger food.  For desserts, we had premium ice-cream and jelly.
 
Deep-fried Chicken wings - fresh from the pan!

We had to end our evening early because Wendy & Edmund were leaving for their vacation to USA, with their boys in less than 7 hours.  We will certainly meet up again soon.  Wishing the 4 of you a pleasant holiday !!
