I know I have abandoned y'all for awhile now and my blog readers must have dwindled down to 1. The tricky thing about maintaining this blog is that at times, I get caught up in the maelstrom and lose my literally flair. As I do not have a dozen photos to post up each time, I have to write ingenious essays of short stories on how to entertain my faithful readers and entice new ones to enter the lair of magical sweetness. That is not an easy feat when you do not lead a life like Lady Gaga's. Naturally, you ran out of things to talk about.
However since this month is the BEST month of the year where the sun is out, the days are brighter, the birds are chippier and people are friendlier, I have decide to make a come back. Someone's gotta clean out the cobwebs and the dust gathering here, can't let you loyal fans down, can I?
Coming to the month of June is like reaching a milestone for me each year. I have survived 6 months of the year and coming close to bid adieu to another chapter of my life. Yes, the chapters in my life closes mid year when I usher in a new age and grow a year older and a year wiser. Beyond the events that has taken place in the last 365 days, there is another story being told - inside of me. These tales may not be the highlight of my year but they are the ones I live in - the path I have trodden on.
This June, The Wednesdays celebrated our 1st anniversary. The Wednesdays was formed by the 5.30 man (the one who leaves work at 5.30 sharp) whose whole idea was to have a little get together every middle of the work to destress and unwind. It also serves as a break in a long week and gives us boring legal professionals something to look forward to. Here are some insights on how we legal professionals get through the week in a year.
In the spirit and joy of our 1st anniversary, the members of the Wednesdays all took the afternoon off from work to celebrate. We started off with a long lunch at Bella Italia which I must say serves great italian food. It has a cosy atmosphere and its a place where you can only go for lunch when you are on leave or your boss is not in the office because expensive lunches are meant to be savoured.
I look like I have a muscle spasm here. Bad photographer.
The delicious Spaghetti Vangole that was like a landmine with all its bird's eye chillis
The bangladeshi Waiter who begged us to have his picture taken
The best tiramisu in town as proclaimed by mei mei and snippet of the bangladeshi waiter who can't leave us alone in peace
My all time favourite italian dessert - panna cotta
Then we went to spend our trust fund and help boost the economy
We caught Shrek Forever After - the jokes were no longer funny after so many episodes of Shrek. Donkey is starting to be a tad annoying and Puss has lost his charms.
Then we all proceeded to Ingolf, a german restaurant up in Tanjung Tokong for dinner. Yes, it a European theme Wednesday feasting. From Italy to Germany we travelled.
So yes, we had quite alot to eat between us 4 - we are all growing children.
We took the obligatory group picture - yes as you can all see, the crazy bangladeshi waiter from the Bella Italia just forced us to bring him along. We also had a gift exchange where each of us bought a little something for each of the Weesians (Wednesday's members) to commemorate our one year of friendship and to test how well we know each other - hence, buying the appropriate gift.
This is us girls - the proper group members sans the Bangladeshi waiter.
So there you have it, how June has started off being an exciting month for me. The Wednesdays means quite alot to me. If not for the group, I would have dreaded going to work everyday. It was comforting to have something to look forward to at every middle of the week be it just a simple meal or a round of bowling. I guess the little things in life for me means having people around me to laugh over a hectic day at work, share my trivial ups and downs and help me pull through a strenuous week. Happy 1st anniversary Wednesdays!
