August Babies
A SMS request from JJ to kick-off a birthday gathering for Bunny prompted the August Babies Birthday Gathering at Rakuzen, Plaza Damas. After more than 100 e-mails, the venue was finally determined but the headcount was still a question mark. By that time, I was getting a little bitchy (but Junior would contest the severity), so I handed over the final preparations to Bunny. Poor thing, harijadi sendiri pun kena buat kerja... LOL. When I arrived at the restaurant at 7:05pm, I was very surprised to find that 8 out of the 14 guests were already sitting there! SO NOT BFF! And for some reason, most of the power couples were without their boyfriends in tow! Junior was even blatant enough to find a hunky replacement (did not have a chance to interact with the quiet fellow)! Huhu. Due to last minute additions, we nearly had to sit on each other's laps to fit the total pax, but luckily the waitress found us an extra table. The dinner was basically split into two groups, each with their own boisterous focal points. Food was average. Truth be told, I won't be going back there anytime soon. And it was disappointing that the precedent set by JL where the birthday boy would buy a round of sake was ignored! Cis! Lifebook, Leggie, Bunny and Earl Grey... you owe me sake!
For after dinner drinks, we stopped at Bagel Coffee Station. The waiter did not speak very clear English and was very defensive when he got an order wrong. We didn't bother to argue, but I think his conscience got the better of him because he gave us two complimentary cinnamon bagels out of the blue (wonder if he hwak-tuh on it). SK and I didn't stay long as we needed to pick CK up from the Seri Petaling LRT station. Right after picking him up, we went over to D' Rich, Kuchai Lama where Carpe Diem, Leggy (already in Panda mode), Earl Grey and Dae were waiting. Talked a bit about house-hunting and had some drinks (thanks Carpe Diem, hehe). By midnight, we were drained. The latte macchiato I had earlier did have any effect. Zzzzzz....
P.S.: Janvier! I forgot to ask you to bring the Poirot and Les Miserables discs... :S

@Janvier:
I'll have to go down to find you at your office one day!
@Alex:
Tanda kiamat akan tiba!
We should have been more insistent.
@Savante:
Yup. You're the missing half.
@Derek:
After you relocate lo. :)
@JJ:
You're welcome.
@Grat:
No standard!
...power couple?...
don't ask the non-drinker to sponsor alcohol!
Erm, I'm not sure.
You don't have to drink, you just have to sponsor!
