It seems the posting these days are so filled with sadness. Our Traffic team is at its cross roads again. Well, it all started when Xiaobai and PS decided to leave us for Sydney and Discovery respectively. That was a few months after Lisa left us to go to another building. Funny how we took our daily lunch for granted and our daily interactions as another progression of the day.
Guess it is hard to put it in words, especially when the group of us just came together so naturally. Still remember the first day at work, thought it was going to be tough to be working with all of these gals…. But once again my fears were unfounded. Ok I will stop about all the history and focus on probably the last gathering at me place.
Well the gals, started arriving at around 6:30 even though they had the half day off from the big boss from NY. (Somethings never change, told them to come around 5-6pm and why am I not surprise that they reach here at half past 6). Anyway, its also good cos I was busy preparing the fruits for the fondue. Heres Pixs of some of the food they bought….food include: BBQ stingray, sambal kang kong, hokkien mee, herbal chicken, popiah, fried egg with oyster,popian, assorted satays, rojak and peach, strawberries, pears, apples, grapes for all ready to be dipped in chocolate.
Yummy Food
Chocolate Fondue......Color is a bit off tho.......
More sinful stuff.......
Enough of food already……….
The gals were all so sweet to bring gifts…..Lets see…in no particular sequence.
Tancy spent so much effort with a nice little self made note complete with my gavourite harley, many many words, ear studs and a book “Time’s Eye by Arthur C. Clarke” Heres a picture of it taken from her blog. Thanks Tancy…. for everything..... Enjoy the "Patrick".

Peh Shan got me a DVD ‘The Motorcycle Diaries directed by Walter Salles. I have yet to watch it...but heres a short summary from the reviews....
The Motorcycle Diaries is an adaptation of a journal written by Ernesto "Che" Guevara de la Serna when he was 23 years old. He and his friend, Alberto Granado are typical college students who, seeking fun and adventure before graduation, decide to travel across Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela in order to do their medical residency at a leper colony. Beginning as a buddy/road movie in which Ernesto and Alberto are looking for chicks, fun and adventure before they must grow up and have a more serious life. As is said in the film itself, it's about "two lives running parallel for a while." The two best friends start off with the same goals and aspirations, but by the time the film is over, it's clear what each man's destiny has become.
According to PS, the movie is suposed to be watched when i'm feeling bored or when i need some inspiration. So i'm keeping this for a rainy day.
Thanks PS, you always have a strangely comforting outlook of life.

Ashaley, who is in Bangkok at the present time of writing got me "The Book of Answers by Carol Bolt. You are suppose to hold the book with 2 hands and concentrate on the question that you want answers too. Ask it and open to a random page. Hmmm must have worked for her....so will give it a shot the next time I need answers.
Thanks Ash, hope you have a great time in Bangkok and stay goofy always....
