Hokkien Char Reunion
Joseph got back from New Zealand for a holiday and Davin and me decided to go to O & S Restaurant in Paramount for good ole' hokkien char. We had a splendid time yakking the hours away over oily, fatty thick yellow noodles in ooey gooey black sauce and hot grilled calamari.
Joseph's from the 1999 BRATs camp that I was a dedicated senior at, and from there we went on to several BRATs projects together, including the really cool APEC Virtual Trade Mission project in 1998 where both of us got our seven-day shot at stardom. We had this 1/2 hour youth special on NTV 7 every day, where along with about 40 other youths from Malaysian and the world around, we interviewed world political and economic leaders who had come to the conference.
I thought dinner was great... except for the fact that the old Ah Pek who takes the orders seem to think Minishorts is some mother or big kah-che or something. When Davin added a plate of Hokkien Hor Fun to the order, he had to walk over and tell me that Dav added an order. And then, he had to walk to me to ask for the money, as if I was treating a bunch of kids ....
I hope I don't look that old. I'm less than a year older than Dav, and only about two years older than Joseph!!! I think I'm going to sit in a corner and mourn the weekend away.
BTW, happy raya!
