FIKIRANITES UNITE!
It's been quite some time since Daddy’s buddies of 16 years met up. A couple of them couldn't make it for my birthday celebration by the park due to work commitments and the likes. As such, when they got the golden ticket to hang out like the good old days, they basically left their soul mates to handle the extra baggage….
(Mummies & Their Kids)
Whilst they do what they usually do best. Relax one corner….
(Shh... Important Meeting In Progress!)
And when that happens, the Fikiranites took the opportunity to take after their Daddies' footsteps to chill out and look cool….
(Chilling Out With The Rest)Oklah, to be fair to Daddy, it's been a gazillion years since the ging gang of Fikiran Plaza hanged out WITHOUT their families. The frequent weekend dinners at Simpang Bedok, Jalan Kayu or Mak's Place have always been handful and demanding – with the Daddies having to entertain and run after their young ones who are forever seeking the formers’ attention.
On hindsight, it’s strange how these 'lepakz' days evolved over the years. When they were much younger (read: no bulging tummies and no receding hairlines), the Fikiran Plaza (which consisted of more than 20 members in their golden era) were simply contented with the 60 cents coffee which could last them 2-3 hours. Then, the dating game began and to impress the Fikiranitas, they painfully upgraded themselves to the $5 mochas at coffee joints like Starbucks, Coffee Club, Coffee Bean and Olio Dome. With evolution and as the number of kids grew in strength, the Fikiran Plaza seemed to have settled for anything that can accommodate the kids, anywhere just as long the kids can run around without any danger zones in sight.
Sigh! Talking about kids, I'm missing my other Fikiranites already…. If not for a suspected case of chicken pox and the crankiness of some of the Fikiranites, I think we may have stayed like till forever at West Coast's McD. Daddy, can't you just take MC on Chinese New Year so that we can join them for the trip up north? This one Aunty Yan suggested one, hor! Not I said one…. :P
(P/S: Aunty Yan, Mummy said you can 'kapur' the pictures if you want. She said no need pay interest. Just some of the mouth-watering cupcakes you’ve been baking will do…. :))
