Friends from Arrival

ChatMate was back from a long three week visit to the United States and was transiting in KL for one day before flying back to Sarawak. The cheeky fellow arranged a meet-up on Saturday morning. At about 8:30 am, I picked him up and we went to Ficelle Boulangerie Pattiserie (always a mouthful) at Taman Desa. Much to my surprise, Nicky05 arrived at the venue earlier than me (finally broke his trend of tardiness)! And with a new guy in tow. Not his boyfriend he declared, just some guy he agreed to pick up from the airport. His name was Svan. Found a table quite easily. According to ChatMate, Nicky05 looked a bit fearful in my presence. Even regarding the choice of table, he wanted to make sure I would approve. Am I such a mangzang ogre? LOL. Truth be told, I shouldn't have brought ChatMate to eat a Western breakfast. Bet he preferred wantan noodles with thick slices of charsiew after weeks of angmoh food. Got him the breakfast platter with a latte while I had the croque madame (a croque monsieur with an egg on top lol). With food on the table, the interrogations introductions started. Turns out that just arrived from Shanghai and Nicky05 forced him to come along for the breakfast gathering. Svans was on his first trip to Shanghai to meet his boyfriend there. Judging from the sloppy smile and happy aura that he was emanating, it must have been full of mind-blowing sex. Good that Svans was a sporting guy that opens up quite easily to new people. Nicky05's a different story. Hehe. Always have to dig and dig and dig about his new love interests. Left at about 11:00 am. I brought ChatMate back to my sisters place so that he could play with the kids. Little Monster was afraid of him, but he seemed to be quite good at layan-ing Big Monster. Waited for SK to arrive before going out to lunch together at Restoran Lek Lek, Serdang. Bloody jammed with three lanes squeezing into one and with road works going on for good measure. Was a bit disappointed with the food. Only the escargot was heavenly, but boy, each was an MSG bomb! Thirsted till dinner time. Ate at Nasi Lemak Nana that night. Our first time there. Owned by a Chinese Muslim woman (interestingly shaved like Sinead o' Connor), it combines Malay with Chinese food. You get chu cheong fun and some dim sum together with your nasi lemak. Food was OK, but I found the lighting in the restaurant too harsh. Will try their other food next time.

P.S.: Thanks ChatMate for the American Eagle Outfitters underwear! And I can't believe that I can fit into an X-SMALL!!!
