Hail the Holidays!

For all you envious people out there, this is how I started my Term 3 school holiday.

1. We went to a Hang-out hotel. Superbly nice. Feels as cosy as stepping into my own bedroom, minus the messy desk and the floor of fallen out hair and the bags containing my Teacher's Day cards and gifts. I think it's a great way to mark the closure of the school term and to awaken the holiday spirit officially. This, is where I'm blogging now.

2. We had a BBQ. We is Apple, Shaun, Arthur, Wenn, Kay and me. Kyn would have been able to join us over the miles through a phone line connection. Too bad that FVB didn't get to call us in time at all! What a bummer!
Now, I must say that this BBQ is the very first one I attended in which the food was all gone (ya, cept for 3 pears and some Otah that were 'donated' to us by some other BBQers). And, it's such a quick thing. It took us only about three hours from getting the BBQ going to the food gone down our tummies! Whether it was Jamie Oliver or Martin Yan, I think they were great! Our chefs for the BBQ - Shaun and Arthur the King. And, Thank you Mama for the Sotong and Stingray. Really, the quality of the sotong depended on the one who took it out of the pit at the perfect timing! That, Ahem, will be me~!

3. Ok. Hold your breath. I did hold mine as we approached a place so pleasantly familiar, wondering if the voice we were hearing was the same voice we heard about one and half years back. I think, for Wenn's case, was it the same pairing? He who holds the guitar holds a lot for her. *wink*

Same old brand new place

It is. No, no longer Fat Frog Cafe; no longer a hole in the wall cafe. Revamped, it's called Timbre. Sidenote: I would have loved so much to put the hyperlink to their webbie here. But, I'm a selfish person. I don't want you all to know about it, save for those who already know... simply cos they've been following my blog since long enough time ago to figure out what and where I'm talking about. It's a really special place to me and despite it being such a superb place to hang out alfresco-style, I want that bit of exclusivity. hoho...

Same old place, same old genre of music, same old singers, but better band equipment I can tell, toilet at the same old place, new menu, same old kinda pricing, new decor do-up, new name. And, yes, bumped into the same old people there.

Bumped into Joe and Jeremy! As usual, Jeremy first then Joe. Haa.. What can I say? Honestly, as I stepped into Timbre, one of my first thought was to scan the place for them, either Joe or Jem. For about an hour or so, I was certain that they knew about the place and did not inform me! Boy, was I disappointed! Then Jem walked in, with his gf. You know the feeling of familiarity, esp at a place like this... it's like... enough to make your day. A perfect way to start the holiday.

Then, Jem said Joe was already there. I turned around, and hey, presto! There he was! Apparently, he emailed me about the revamp of the place but cos it was to my defunct account, I didn't read it yet. Honestly, I was just thinking of him when Nuris was singing 'Angel'. Cos it's the song that I used to associate F.F with Joe.

Wenn said 'This is THE place man'. I told D and Eug about it. Smsed them. Yes, this is THE place. The new old place. I told Ah Girl my default hang out place has been found and defaulted again.

I repeat, a perfect way to start the holiday.
