The so-called PSBC (Pa Si Buay Chow) Old Bird Club decided to give him a farewell bash. By the way, the minimum criteria to be enrolled into the birdie club is at least 3 years of working experience at the “you-know-where”! Amongst us, are some who have migrated to other departments and also those who seen the world…I mean Singapore and come back....Hmm, I wondered what's the drawing power. Those inside are trying to get out, those outside are trying to get in.
We had an alfresco dinner at the Al Hamra Lebanese & Middle East Restaurant at Holland Village while relinquishing the good old times (actually bitching) about former staff and also what’s currently happening at our office. How can we not talk about the still single and available TD and her timely “period” announcement. And Yati had us roaring with laughter with the impersonation of Ed Mc.’s wife, except without the one tonne hairspray.
We had a good time actually, till the shocking and embarrassing saga, which makes us think twice about going there so soon again.
First came the rain, so it had everyone scrambling for shelter. I thought it's still manageable as there were only 7 of us. I had a similiar wind blowing experience last year at the Tourism Conference, whereby we were hosting dinner for 40-50 conference participants and SUDDENLY it was poured heavily.
However, that's not the main highlight of the night. The saga came after everyone’s had finished their meals and Theo did the honour of presenting the farewell gift to Ah Kit. SUDDENLY, Yati, Connie and myself, who sat at the opposite side of the table started screaming our lungs out and we literally jumping out from our seats. To our horror, there was a fat, juicy lizard on/in the transparent Crumpler plastic bag containing the present. The 3 of us detest lizards the most. But Lynn as usual, is as cool as cucumber! So we had the staff at the restaurant running out to see what’s the commotion. Before we knew it, we had just invited a huge audience peering from inside the restaurant, and also from the restaurants next door and NYDC from across the street. I tell you the 3 of us can easily hit a high decibel of 100 decibel when combined. Luckily, it was pouring heavily last night, or else it could have been worse. They might even called a bomb squad for the fear of that it could be another Bali-look-a-like bomb case. Haha! But you should see Ah John & Ah Kit”s embarrassed and pissed face and they kept on asking us to sit down. SIT! GALS! SIT! At least, we got to see Ah Kit’s pissed face one last time. It used to be as black as last night’s dark clouds.
I must say his PMS has improved quite a lot from the last time, cos he was constantly surrounded by his nasty but friendly colleagues...hehe. His cubby hole was sandwiched between Yati and myself at our former office, and we would always eavesdrop into his conversations and would then roared in laughter even before he even finished his conversation. I still remembered one instance, when he was decoding a certain word and then it goes “… A for Australia, R for Russia and K for KANGAROO!” (hehe.. I’m still couldn’t help letting out a giggle, as I was typing this.)
We also had fond memories of watching Korean dramas during lunch time and would try very hard to control our tears over those silly brother-cannot-love-sister plot. Ah!. that was the beginning of the Korean Wave, so that was how long we have known each other. The 3 of us are like brothers (yeah, he never treat us like gals) and we click on very well cos we have the same frequency and most of the time we need not elaborate further to understand the full conversation. Yati and I used to be very innocent and demure, until he came and corrupt us. We often joined him at ogling at gals and would elbow him when we see any chio bu. I think Ah Kit is gonna kill me now for spilling the beans. Anyway, all the best wishes to you Ah Kit, at your new found turf of greener and sweeter grass! And remember to enjoy the “flowers” too. Just a gentle reminder that we still have an ongoing sign-for-life contract as my IT consultant for all sort of electrical gadgets! Don't worry, I will be in touch!
Adeous!
