My Hello Kitty and I were just saying how our lives have changed. When we first started dating or even before we started dating we used to go out a lot at night. Lately though we find all we want to do is stay at home and watch TV after a long week of work… we’ve even admitted to being the “boring couple”.
So last weekend when we heard about the Xplay party at Gosh, we decided that we had to go. That’s something about XPAX lately though. So often now they would have parties after parties… almost every other week. Like one week they would have it in KL, then the next week in JB, then in Penang then in Malacca… it’s like they go everywhere and bring the parties with them. Just about 4 weeks ago we went for the one in Opera Sunway… and now we’re at Gosh.
We went with some of the Nuffies and Nuffnangers that night and we had loads of fun. Of course things that night started really nice and formal. Like we were all well behaved and all. But there was free flow of beer so it didn’t take long before everyone was high and happy…
and most of us red.. especially me.
This is me with Ah Quah and Leon.
Ah Quah (or Boss Lepton if some of you may remember him) is the guy on the left. He’s one of my best friends from the UK and he has recently got together with another one of my friends from the UK to start a wine business. They call it www.wineactually.com. They just started and they have a long difficult road ahead of them but they’re both among the smartest people I know so I’m sure one day they’ll be huge.
In this picture from the left is me, Chris, Nic Gan, Rachel and Jestina.
Chris’s real name isn’t really Chris. His real name is Nicholas Liew and he’s actually the vocalist of a band. We have 3 Nicholas’s in the office before Chris joined us and one day I accidentally called him Chris out of the blue. Eventually that kinda stuck on to him with the rest of the Nuffies so Chris it was. We asked him if he mind but he didn’t.
This really reminded me of one of my friends from college named Ah Bon. Ah Bon used to be friends with some of my other college friends when they were back in Catholic High. Since their high school days they’ve always called him Ah Bon so when we met in college he introduced himself as Ah Bon so I called him that from now on. It was only years later that I realized that his real name wasn’t anything close to Ah Bon. It didn’t have an Ah or Bon anywhere in it. In fact his real name is Kelvin Pang… and nobody remembers how they came up with the name Ah Bon. It just happened.
I hear out in the working world now he’s stopped introducing himself as Ah Bon and more as Kelvin Pang now. When the old friends see him though… it’s still Ah Bon.
Some of the other there that night.
Michelle, Jessicat, Eric and Stephanie.
Can you believe that Stephanie is s a teacher? An actual tuition teacher that teaches classes! She’s like one of those young cool teachers all my friends would use to drool at in class.
This is Angeline.
She just recently joined our team as one of our accountants. She used to work in KPMG and I hear that in KPMG they had an “unofficial” list of the “hottest girls in KPMG KL”. Apparently Angeline was ranked number 3… I never knew that before I hired her… really!
Some more pics that night. Just realized that I didn’t manage to take a picture with Joshuaong and Bryan.
And here’s Rachel carrying My Hello Kitty.
My Hello Kitty later told me that Rachel is a strong girl. Yes she is.. yes she is.
Well we all had a lot of fun that night. Nice to remember what it feels like to be young again!!! (or at least to start going out again at night). Thanks for the great party XPAX. Happy to be carrying my XPAX Blackberry! Which reminds me… kinda need to top up tomorrow.
