The CallIt's been a week since my bro called and told me that he would come visiting one of these days...His friend was taking his sis (who lived within the area that I'm staying in) out, so he tagged along. Finally he called! He's coming at around 8pm.. yay!
Dressed for the Occasion...Or Not...So I thought I'd take him out for dinner at the makeshift stalls lining the pedestrian walk outside the apartment area. Yep, I was ready for a "yum cha" session with my bro, with my frizzy hair tied up, me clad in his old tee (its not OLD, he rarely wore it, and one fine day found that he outgrew it) and a pair of Muller shorts. Oh, come on, its just the stalls... why would I wanna dress up?. Boy, was I wrong. The call came...
"Hey, get ready fast! We're almost there! My friend is taking us out." said my bro in a hurried manner.
No Ice to be Broken :)Great. I swapped my shorts for a pair of Dapper jeans (why does it suddenly seem that I own a number of men attire?) and got straight out. A Kelisa was waiting, but I couldn't see my bro. Fortunately, i recognised his cap. He opened the door and said "Get in, get in!" and I did just that. I did know that his friend's sister was inside, but i did not expect her to be all dressed up (okay, as the night passed it didnt seem that she dressed up, but when I first saw her, all I could think of was "Gosh, I'm dressed to hit the stalls, she's dressed to go to the mall! Yikes!") But of course, a friendly smile and an introduction made me feel a whole lot more comfortable :)
Yum Cha SessionThen as he was driving, we all discussed where to go for "makan". We decided have some Chinese food, so we went to a corner shop hawker center. Because of my flu and irritable throat, I ordered "bak kut teh", my bro's friend's(hereafter referred to as "HE"... gotta protect their privacy...) sis too(hereafter referred to as "SHE"). My bro had "wan tan mee" and HE had "char koay teow". We chatted while having dinner.
Decisions, decisions...Then, we finished. "what next?" was the million-dollar question (that is, sadly, a figure of speech). HE said,"Ok, we'll decide while walking to the car.
The engine started and we were still discussing. "You know what? Pull over at the bus stop and we'll decide." said SHE. Ideas were:
-pool
-bowling
-movie
-clubbing (yikes!)
problems were:
-venue
-time
Finally, we decided to go for a movie at Mid Valley. The car was parked and off we went; heading straight to GSC. OK, time for more decision-making... we watched the trailers and scanned the posters while waiting at the queue, but still could not decide. We finally got our turn at the ticket counter and asked the guy to recommend a movie. After about 5 minutes or so, "Deadly Ghost" it was. I wanted to watch "the water horse" but HE didnt like those kind of movies, so we went for the thai horror flick.
Deadly Ghost of BoredomSo we were all geared up and excited to get spooked(it was night time after all), but boy! What a disappointment the movie was. I almost shut my eyes so many times, not because of the fear but the lack of it, really! Sure, there were some "shock factor" moments, but they were few and far between. Besides, the shock factor in horror movies have been recycled so many times that they just aren't shocking anymore...
However, it was a great coincidence... at the end of the movie, the two main characters find out that they are siblings (bro-sis)! ha ha! SHE pointed this out, and me n bro were like "yeah, what a coincidence! truly a bro-sis nught out!" HE was just frustrated that we spent RM11 per person to watch a lacklustre, lack-fear-factor, lame horror movie.(well, actually, all of us were)
End of a Great Night (sans the movie, of course)
yep, all good-and not so good (movie)- things come to an end. Bro gave me the headset he had wanted to pass to me and I gave him the t-shirt that I got for him. The night was sealed with Goodnights and Goodbyes and Thank Yous.
...and a blog :D
