Gathering With The Rambutans

One of our friends, Rena who is currently teaching at an international school in Jakarta is back home for a holiday. I can’t recall when the last time we met… I guessed it was many years back.

I am happy that after days of planning, we finally managed to have a dinner gathering at our favourite Italian Restaurant, La Pizzaiola. I was on ½ day leave to spend time with Faith before I headed out to the rest.

While we waited for the rest to turn up, we decided to start off with the starters like egg plants, burratina with parma ham etc… it was really great to catch up with friends whom I have not met for ages.

We then ordered our mains and pizzas after the rest arrived and we chatted the night away. Everyone enjoyed the good food as most were first timers. We were so into many topics that we actually forgot about the time… it was pretty late and we decided to adjourn to another place for desserts.

As we drove down towards town, there was a heavy traffic and we finally decided to settle at Shangri-La lobby lounge since it was quite on the way. We realized it was a fine place to sit and chat with lounge singer. We ordered our drinks and continued with our topics and some sharing of ghost stories…

Time passed so fast and by the time we realized, it was already past midnight. Some of us were so tired that we left for home but the rest of the five heroines continued their journey to Jalan Kayu for prata supper.
