Leaving the nest…
fren: cat, you dont know it yet, but your coming to the birthday party
cat: *blur* huh?
Twas the 7th birthday of Finnegans’ Sri Hartamas branch and we soon found out that when they said freeflow of food and beverages they really meant it. Seldom partied at the Sri Hartamas branch, always having hung out at Bangsar Finns, instead… but there were lots of familiar faces anyway, so diff…and the most important thing was that the good ol brand of Finns music sounded as sweet as ever.
That wasnt all the reason we were there. Baby is leaving Msia for good and last night was a farewell of sorts.
Twas funny seeing 7 young ‘uns with a total combined age of 112 hanging out at the area reserved for them courtesy of good ol’ Mel. Come to think of it, the Salad Bar had transformed into a play pen of sorts for these juveniles, while all the uncles and aunties kept making sure they were kept well fed, well watered and if need be, well directed to the toilet sinks - yes we even gave them beer. But mostly, we just marvelled at the below-20 group and tried to give some drinking tips to those who were not too wasted to listen.
They all made it safely home too, but not before a few threw up by the road side. Poor things.
First batch of beer… drink up, my darlings…
Second batch of beer… maternal/paternal instincts lovingly adding to the alcohol pool…
Yup…
Those happy shining faces…
One of the ways to know you are still sober… only veterans can do this.
Ah to be young again…
After the young ones left…the rugby group contemplate doing the full monty again……
In a totally unrelated event, here is a pic of Boo adjusting a wedgie… Laughed my head off at this…we will be seeing a lot of wedgies during another birthday this month… MERDEKA night! if plans for dudes in aprons and male g-strings fall through…… dont really look forward to that! The horror……
About ten more hours to go…… there are going to very wet eyes and noses at the airport tonight. And again in a few more months. I dont look forward to that AT ALL.
