Laine's 25th at Sugimoto

A little update on last night's dinner at Sugimoto for Laine's birthday. There were about 10 of us, including Elaine Ho and Shuh Yih, whom we practically meet once in a year for the past 3 years and that also were all on Laine's birthdays (the 1st one at PD in year 2002, last year at Micasa and this year at Sugimoto). Hehehe...

The food there was alright. We ordered duplicate set of 7-8 dishes including Taco Wasabi (it's actually octopus, and it was KL's favourite!), salmon with mashed potato, eggplant and crabmeat croquette. We spent the whole time talking about law (of having your car pulled over, of saman, of marital rape), insurance, production shows and diving. See how diverse the group is? Let's see... Out of 10 of us, there were 3 lawyers, 1 insurance marketing exec, 4 engineers and 1 production director.

L-R : Elaine Ho, Zona, Laine, KY, Sey Chuan, sayang, me, KL, Julia & Shuh Yih

Laine didn't want us to sing her a Birthday song, and hurriedly blew the candles as soon as they were lit up. But we still sang it anyway, and even louder. Hehehehe..

We were there for nearly 3 hours, and then Laine, KY, KL, Zona, sayang & I proceeded to 'yum char' at Spicy Kitchen. We talked about a common friend whom was Laine, KL and Zona's 3-year-classmate back in high school days, whom I just knew but we attended Computer class together, and whom sayang knows now. We were suprised how she used to be very serious and studious back then, but turned out wild, flirtatious and bimbo-ish now. Not that we were b*tching about her. It was more like, saddened and wondered about what happened to her. What made her take that drastic change. Is it that she spent her high school days on academic reasons and figured that now she's trying to live her life, making up for lost time? And if she realizes that she is known as the 'entertainer', 'GRO' or even 'the girl with kidneys on the brain' or something like that? It's sad, really.. And that just kept me pondering the rest of the night..

[Updated] Oops.. I missed out an accountant/financial controller in the group. Thanks Zona!
