We then drove back to Subang to catch up with the old school gang. This would prove to be our second trial on Malaysian roads which we survived thanks to Alison's nervous navigation and my suicidal steering. I must say that the road signs have improved since our last visit, not that I often find myself in the driver's seat if I can help it.
Cel had just flown in from Boston with two of his mates from the "You Ess of Ey" and they certainly seemed weary from the trip. Nothing that couldn't be cured by a quick trip out for some Rojak and Cendol though.
Photos were taken on my camera by KeWynn, who obviously knows what he needs to do behind a lens. Sorry I didn't quite put as much care into post processing these pics as you normally would have mate.
After hanging around and playing some Wii at Cel's house, we drove about to Klang for some uber fresh seafood. The restaurant we ended up at was basically floating on the water by the sea so it would be hard to get a catch any fresher. As a testament to the authentic origin of our meal, we even found a bit fisherman's net in our plate of crabs.
Some of us were apparently hungrier than others...
Satiated for the time being, we then retired back to our house in Subang for a late night of poker. Ding's practically a professional card shark and he was more than happy to provide the chips and decks so he could part some of us from our hard earned cash. Frenzied betting and wild bluffs went on till about one in the morning and when the dust settled, Cel's brother Val turned out to be the clear winner. It might have been general concensus at the table to ensure that the body builder with arms the size of our thighs finished the game a happy man.
Cel on the other hand, inspite of a limitless reservoir of hope and enthusiasm, did not have as much success at the table. Als and I didn't fare too badly though our winnings were quickly flittered away on some late night A&W waffles.
We slept over in Subang that night and decided to spend the next day wandering around the newly renovated Sunway Pyramid. I was absolutely bowled over at the size of the new wing given that we were only back a little over a year ago. I guess that's progress for you.
While I hadn't initially planned on getting anything gadgety on this trip, Alison and I both felt it might be time to upgrade our mobiles for something with a little more chic. I managed to land myself a HTC Touch and Alison bagged a Sony Ericsson W910i. The prices seemed pretty impressive at the time but after we bought them we realised that we'd probably be able to get them in Australia for a smidgen more. Ah well, at least we both got a complementary blue tooth head set with them.
