If wine were a liquor, it would taste like sake. The statement doesn’t really make sense until one actually tries a cup of the warm liquid, and I have to admit, I didn’t believe Louise when she first said it.
Pat, Aaron, Trolley, and I, along with the respective girls/girlfriends, Jen, Karen, Andrea, and Loo, went to the Japanese Village for some celebratory teppanyaki. Pat found a new full-time development job, Trolley went from contract to full-time, and Aaron got an eight-month quality assurance contract, all within the same month. Everyone managed to make it out on the same night, which is not an easy task among the eight in attendance.
The last time we met together like this was when I first got my job at the beginning of spring, when we went to a little restaurant in Chinatown to celebrate, sort of like the meeting of the heads of the four territories in Infernal Affairs 2. It was important that my three closest friends in the city could make it last time, and this time, it just so happened that each one of them got new jobs.
Every main meal comes in six to seven courses with mushroom soup, salad (consumed using chopsticks), shrimp appetizers, mixed vegetables, rice, and sprouts. I got the filet mignon, which is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted; tender enough to stick through with a chopstick, but firm enough not to fall off. It’s so good, that I may sacrifice the excitement of trying something new the next time I go, for the savoury taste of their best cut beef.
Something that I desperately want to do again, but difficult enough to accomplish with everyone there, to make me appreciate the time when it comes.
you know… i actually get irritated when you dont write here. i’m a very impatient audience, as i’ve recently realized. I’m not very patient for alot of things, but this… i love reading the random things that appear here, the photos, the emotions that leak through your words from deep deep down.
i’m amazed on near-daily basis…which as you know isnt something that occurs normally.. i’m rarely surprized by life. maybe thats where my attraction to you stems, i never know what to expect… you keep me on my toes… and i know you’ll be there if i trip, stumble or fall.
wow, at first I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to tell you about this blog, since I generally don’t tell anyone about it, but now I’m glad I did
I haven’t checked out your comments for a while, but it was nice to come onto your site and see such a captive description of our time at the Japanese restaurant.
So simple, yet to many may not make sense … Infernal Affairs 2 … the 4 bosses … so true … it just sums up the feeling I get when we’re all together and reminds me of how fun it is to sit down and watch a movie with you that I wouldn’t regularly pick of the shelf on my own.
