A Trip Down Memory Lane in Subang

Paul & I had an errand to run in Subang so we went to Swensens in Subang Parade. Neither of us had Swensens in years. My last time was probably when I was in college.

The cheese stick was absolutely yummy.

The clam chowder was good too and it came served in a hollowed sough dough bun.

I was beginning to really enjoy the food and was wondering why we stopped eating at Swensens.

Unfortunately the fried chicken was too oily, tasteless and worst of all, only half cook. I asked them if we’d get a 50% discount.

While waiting for an answer, I wanted to order some ice cream. Sticky chewy chocolate! But they ran out of my favourite flavour from Swensens. As was 6 of the other best selling flavours from them. Hmmmm.

I asked for the bill and checked if they gave a discount off the chicken. Nope. Butt the did give a RM5 discount voucher …….. which has only a 1 month validity and I’ve to spend a minimum of RM50 to get the discount. Now I know why I’ve not been back at Swensens.

And since we we’re on a trip down memory lane, we took a drive around the corner and went to check out Taylor's College where we both crossed paths 13 years ago but never really met till 11 1/2 years later.

But instead of Taylor's College, what we saw was Taylor's University College. Our dear college has expanded so much since our time there. And they were really good times indeed. Good memories. Sure doesn't feel like I graduated from college 13 years ago. The age is showing. Hahaha!

Raj & Diva's Wedding - 8 June 2008

Congrats Raj and Diva on your wedding! Diva looked absolutely gorgeous, as every bride should be on their wedding. Their entry into the grand ball room of the Royal Selangor Club was accompanied by traditional Indian drums and much fanfare. They then did the cake cutting and feeding ceremony. Then there were loads of performances from traditional dances to Hindi song singing to even Indian rap.

Weddings are great places for reunions so I caught up with the Taylorians. We graduated in 1996. Wow that’s 12 years. Sure doesn’t feel like 12 years. And when together, we almost act like time never passed and the same jokes and slag lines we said together would come out all over again. Some things never change.

Paul & I

Wendy, Sri Pickles Baby & I

The gang and some of our partners, minus Sainthan who’s in Romania and hardly talks to us anymore!

L to R: Paul, me, Vignesh, Geoffrey, Susan, Patrick, Raj, Sri, Wendy & Ee.

I was talking about the performances of the wedding to Sri Pickles Baby and the conversation turned to the performances by our Drama Society while we were in college. We sure did quite a few productions. We even did one for charity! And Sri was really famous for singing this ‘Sunrangani’ song where he’ll create a beat by just banging on tables or whatever he can put his palm on and he’ll sing and make up the lyrics as he goes along. It’s funny and everyone cracks up laughing till he sings out your name and adds a bad trait of yours into the song for everyone’s laughter.

Michelle will be singing a song at my wedding. And Paul is inviting a friend who plays the viola at the Philharmonic Orchestra to come play too. And I thought that Sri could come and do his Surangani for old time sake and it’s incredibly entertaining too. We were discussing the details of that when I realized that most of the Drama Society members were on our table anyway so I asked all of them if they would like to perform a skit at my wedding, director by Sri, and they all said yes!

This is fantastic! I’m going to have a song sung, a musical instrument played and a skit performed at my wedding! I love it that all my friends are so involved and want to be a party of my wedding and contribute more than just being a guest. All that’s missing now is a dance performance!
