Tira-Miss-U
Staleness Factor: 6/5. Before blogging about my own birthday, must get this out of the way first!
Celebrated Janvier's boyfriend's (Lam Lam) birthday at Alexis, Great Eastern Mall some Saturdays ago. Mum was off gallivanting in Johor, travelling around Bukit Tinggi, Kulai and Muar with her posse, so I had a little more freedom. Anyway, Lam Lam is a difficult person to shop for. I don't really know what he likes. Even contemplated buying him a buku latihan matematik! Had to resort to calling Janvier for some pointers. Finally settled on a bedsheet and an Esprit t. It was a surprise party that started an hour late due to logistics and traffic problems. But never mind, we started the reverie without the star anyway. Wine and cocktails were poured. It was fun seeing Alex getting all playful and loud, while even the most composed JL showed some interesting change after a Long Island Tea. I ordered a Bombay Alexis (Bombay Gin, lemon and lime-- blech) and SK a Manhattan (a whole lotta whiskey).
There was a cover charge of MYR25 that night because Finn Peters was playing there. Don't know who he is? Me neither. But the little brochure on the table said that he's UK's best Jazzist at the moment. I have no appreciation of the genre, so I can't really comment. Sounds decent enough. He mumbles like Jay Chou by the way. Must be from all those years on the sax and flute. Played a localized number, Tudung Periuk, but it didn't ring any bells. When Janvier and Lam Lam finally arrived, Lam Lam gave us his best "surprised" look. Keanu would have been proud. The birthday cake was a brandy-laced Tiramisu from a local foodie, but SK and I ordered a slice of Alexis' Tiramisu anyway. Sad to say, the accompanying berry sauce had lost it's alcohol content, but the cake's tecture was still good with loads of freshly-roasted nuts.
A round of Shiraz was poured, compliments of the birthday boy. More chatting. More laughs. More jazz. The night was still young, but I ain't. So, SK and I left a little after midnight.
P.S.: Had a chance to catch up with Des and catch a whiff of his Hugo Boss fragrance. :P (Joe would be so proud)
