How was your weekend? Except for momster, I hope the rest had a good one. My weekend was awesome. On Saturday, I met a dear friend who went to the same uni. Her first remark was, “your skin looks good”, while poking my face (now I know why kids hate it when people pinch their cheeks). I told her she lost more weight from the last time I saw her (I reckon she's down to size 6), obviously due to workload. She's still a very cool chic and a hot mama of 2. We reminisced the past and she reminded me of what people used to label us, “the outcast”, simply because most of our friends were non-malay. I rather joined the college's chess club than those typical malay societies/clubs, not that I knew how to play one of course. The notion of meeting people from different background and trying to bridge the cultural and language barrier excited me.
Lunch took place in Covent Garden where I devoured a plate of fisherman’s pie. It was late and I was starving. The crowd was huge, typical on a sunny day as Londoners were out enjoying the warm weather. The street performers were happy as it meant they’d get more tips.
The shopping rendezvous planned on Sunday was cancelled as my friend had other errands. Nevertheless, I decided to proceed with the nanny’s arrangement and thought it’d be nice to shop on my own. As I walked into our regular hang-out for brunch, a familiar face appeared. He stood up and said, “I know this person”. I blurted his name out loud and couldn’t believe my luck. He was another buddy of mine back in uni who was here for a few weeks on an assignment.
As he had no plans, we decided to go shopping together at the mall in West End. Gosh, it really felt like the good old days. I cant remember how much fun we had back then. He still looks the same, in fact better I must say. Interesting enough, most of the guys I know who remain in shape or look better as they age are single (and successful). The excuses given were the lack of free time and demanding job.
Anyway, it has been awhile since I last shopped with a guy, or more like trying to help a guy choose his things. It was interesting and funny. We even share the same taste i.e. MD! And no, he is not gay. *lol* Maybe I should nominate him to be the next Cleo’s eligible bachelor.

On another note, I wonder when do we get to see him in a steamy scene *winks*:

it is always nice to meet someone from those old days :) esp when it is unplanned :)
lucky you! managed to grab a lot from MD this time? ;)
i'm hoping we'd be discharged today. and hopefully imtiyaz has really recovered this time!
*i see that your mood is back!*
your last comment- i think we're watching too much tv that we get too engrossed with the characters hence the similarities! but nate is REALLY cute though hubby says 'eewww'..he doesnt get the hair.
and about your friend, i guess he's very metrosexual by your description - i like men who cares about their apearance but not OTT.
and im still in awe how people get to go down to a size 6 after having 2 kids!
jane,
u bet it was! I was shocked beyond words! It felt really good to catch up and be like those silly college kids.
momster,
waa... 1st time I didnt get anything from MD. takde mood nak shopping. but my friend had fun cos it's pricier in the city he works (outside msia).
It was just the whole thing that made me excited. catching up with old friends with the crazy wave length.
IDB,
trying to get my mojo back and it needs extra push.
to be frank, my guilty pleasures are OTH, GG (sometimes. I get bored by this series). nate looks manly, not cute. otherwise, how did he end up with the mature lady in season 2? *grins* I wouldn't mind if i hv a candy boy like that. *evil laugh*
my friend isnt metro at all. He likes fine things (he's a specialist in his field. not many hence highly paid) but only at work. he still wears the same style ie loose t-shirt (gap/esprit?), jeans and trainers. we looked exactly like college kids when we hanged out.
hmm, maybe i should write a post on being size 6...?
