Noisy fellas

We were creating ruckus at the restaurant but were pretty oblivious to the fact. When a bunch of old colleagues get together, regardless of whether it had only been two months since the last lunch meet-up or whether we continue to be in touch almost daily via social media, it is an occasion to be jolly and talk in person as if we haven't seen one another for years! So it was such when 18 of us from our Ban Hin Lee Bank days met for lunch at a restaurant in Chai Leng Park. 

We should have created enough din to bring an attap house down and luckily, the restaurant's was a sturdy brick house. Nevertheless, the noise we created in the establishment had their other diners looking uncomfortably in our direction as they finished their food as quickly as possible before disappearing. But we didn't care, of course. And neither did the restaurant's proprietor care. If fact, he even helped us to take our group picture at the end of the meal. Or maybe, he wanted to get rid of us as quickly as possible? Doesn't matter, we all had a spiffy good time....
