Meeting My (Crazy) Online Khakis

A few weeks back, I met up with my virtual friends for a series of gatherings..

It all started with part of the love bird duo, Caroline, who was coming from Kay Kay (KK) to meet her then virtual boyfriend, Eric. The young cikgu, Erika, was also coming up from Johor.

On the very first nite Erika & Caroline arrived, we had our first makan outing at KTZ SS2. I've met Grey, Adrian and Eric before. But it was my first time meeting the 2 girls - Erika  & Caroline. I was also introduced to Kelvin.

Over dessert, we got to know each other better.. and made a lot of jokes in between as well (like for example the double meanings of 'joystick', 'chocolate starfish' & 'nuts'). Well, the jokes could only happen cos there were some 'innocent' ones in the group!

The 2nd day started off with makan-ing at Tao Japanese Buffet at Sunway Giza. There, the group gets to meet Super Guru (yes, she's a teacher in real life), Submerryn. There's a reason I'm calling her the Super Guru.. you got to read her tweets to get the idea (if she hasn't made it 'private' yet!).

Lunch was super - but I must say, it was the gatherings of the funny & humourous bunch that was more interesting!

If you don't know, you might just think we've been friends for a long time.. when by right, this was only the 3rd time max I've met the group!

We had a few other rounds of makan the next 1-2 days.. going to some of my favourite spots in the Klang Valley - like going to Teeq Rooftop Bar Lot 10, chilling at Kay El's best bar - Skybar, eating hokkien mee at Petaling Street, dim sum-ing at Puchong (with Witch & Lionel), and having chocolate at Theobroma (yeah, what a makan-full journey!).

I must say, that that few days felt like a Jalan Jalan Cari Makan of sorts for me (we really didn't stop eating!).

But apart from the food, this is also memorable because it's the first time I get to know a whole group of friends from the online world. And a crazy one to boot! (see how crazy they are on their tweets, really!). Now, online can only get more interesting! :)

*The missing guy here is FoongPC, who actually is the guy who connected us all at the first place. He went overseas last minute and couldn't join us. But even if he did, we couldn't put his pic up - as he still remains somewhat annonymous with his 'panda' avatar in the online world!
