weekend Trio

Its funny, I really didn’t know what I was going to do in KL on the weekend but I turned out to be a pretty good one. It started out pretty slow although I had my favourite fish and chips at Fish & Co. I have to say, I love fish fillet stuffed with cheese. Also, I did watch the newly released Three Musketeers, which wasn’t half bad.

Still, it’d be pretty wasted if I just hung out myself the entire weekend so I got a few guys to come out. It was nice to meet Jon for lunch on Saturday. Kudos to him for coming out although he was a little sick, you have to give props to good friends. What’s kind of cool is we’re both in the same line of work, we had plenty of work conversation to go around.

It’s a little funny because we didn’t really hang out much in the past, but I guess its kind of cool that way. I guess not knowing someone that well gives plenty of room for conversation. Two hours of talking work and life at the Otak-Otak Place wasn’t a bad way to go, which is quite a decent place to meet up with people by the way.

That was lunch, and dinner was with Felix. I haven’t been to the older part of PJ in an extremely long time, so it was a little nostalgic to pass by some of the places that I last went to as a high school kid. The place we went to was new to me however. The food we had was something I hadn’t had in a while, but it was pretty good.



Bak Kut Teh, one of my father’s favourites. I never really caught on to it when I was a kid, but nowadays I seem to have a better liking for it. That bowl of ‘porky’ goodness there’s RM 18.00, a good portion for two people. Its pretty reasonable if you ask me.

Felix’s working in music, a real niche in Malaysia if you ask me. I’m not sure if there’re even more than a hundred people around the country that teach kids Garage Band, haha! Like Jon, I haven’t met Felix in a while, so it was good seeing him again. One thing great about hanging with Felix, is that its always a very relaxed time of decent conversation, not to mention he can definitely find good places for food or dessert.

Lastly, someone I hadn’t talked to since I left Hearts, Wai Nyan. He’s probably among some of the few I’ve met who are pretty genuine about themselves from the moment they greet you for the first time. I don’t have that quality, but its great that he does. I got to meet some of the people from Hearts as well, familiar faces like Yvonne Yeo.

It was kind of interesting when we were talking and she mentioned that she missed having one of her friends around on Sundays that had also left Hearts a while back. In a way, that’s probably one of the reasons I came back this weekend. Honestly, there was no one at home, but I still went back anyway.

The truth is, I guess I haven’t adjusted to Malacca as much as I’d like, but I’ll say that it was great to meet a few friendly faces from the past.
