Rooftop BBQ

listening to norah jones' 'Thinking About You'...
When you sail across the ocean waters,
And you reach the other side safely,
Could you smile a little smile for me?
Coz I'll be thinking about you,
I'll be thinking about you,
I'll be thinking about you.

I was walking back to the desk, with my coffee mug in hand when I heard this song. Haunting vocals, poignant rendition. Went to the song system immediately to check out the title, and it turned out to be NJ's latest single. Third album out in 2007. I hope it'll be better than her second.

In the end, the barbeque was held at Wei's place.
We started with qian bian wen ti aka silly riddles,
Some of the riddles were totally lame, like Getty and his Spiderman joke. Some were funny, like Getty and his Batman joke. Couldn't remember who started first, but we ended up discussing about God/gods, ghosts, as well as a dead woman called Eunice Lim. Very much like excerpts from 'Singapore True Ghost Stories', except these incidents happened to people around us. Wei freaked us out with the social worker's tale. SCARY!!!

Decided to ask irritating questions, but it backfired. Was asked irritating questions instead. Retribution. But you guys forgot something: It's Kay you're dealing with! I have the knack to make a buzzing mosquito appear less annoying than me. I shall reply now:
Just broke up. Changed job. When we spoke last week, he was still in low spirits.
And since I have answered, it's my turn again, right?
PH/ SY, when are you gals getting married?
Haha!!!

Then out came the old photos. Dear XW ransacked SY's place, and brought the whole stash over. Oh man... Looking at them brought back the good old days. Days of cliquish behaviour (ZH called us 'The Communists'), ugly bermudas, funky hair, and big glasses that covered half our faces.

Another decade later, when we look back at the pictures taken during this bbq, we'll probably laugh at ourselves again. Provided we get to see them coz SY's the official photographer for the night. Just in case we don't:

Food, wine and great friends with a wacky sense of humour...
I am blessed :)
