You had to be there

Last night was a parade of some of the most entertaining moments I've seen in a while. Here were some of my favourite.

1. Playing My First Uno with Pooh and friends and counting in Malay. Tish won a lot I think, he's sharper than he looks, girls.
2. Talking our way through a bottle of wine.
3. Talking about living in the same apartment block.
   
4. Recalling how much the boys looked like those snowman-esque characters out of Southpark in primary 6.
   
5. How Tish kept dropping things at dinner.
   
6. Those cute tea strainer and cup ensembles that had Weng looking so disappointed when he lifted off the cover to find what looked like dregs in the bottom of his "cup".
   
7. How it took us more than a half hour to sort out the bill and with two and a half accountants sitting at the table (although the cashier did tally it wrong in the first place). Clearly we've not outgrown our ineptitude at dividing bills and we should all run screaming from little white slips of paper printed in columns of faint blue ink when we've run out of fingers and toes.
   
8. When Hsiang blew out his candles (which didn't actually add up to 22, I think) and the powder off his cake, half of which landed on Terence, the other half dusting the table in a thin layer of rich cocoa.
9. How Junlinn loved the cake so much, he grabbed the knife to lick the chocolate off it. I think there's photographic evidence somewhere, which will no doubt turn up on Facebook eventually.

I think it was an excellent outing. Good food, good company, and a boy with a lot of coffee.
