A Weekend Gathering

9.jpg

This group of friends have known each other since 1986. However, only some of us were in contact with each other. It was only four years ago that we decided to try to contact everyone in the group. Thanks to Facebook, we managed to trace more than half of the mates in th​e​ original group.

Unfortunately, some were not able to join us on a regular basis due to commitments. However, there is a core of eight who are keen to meet. Unfortunately, due to the restriction during these times of the pandemic, there were only five of us at the meet last Saturday.

We catch up on what has happened since ​the last time we got together – jobs, health, and what goes on in the world today. There was comradeship and easy bantering. A lot of ribbing and plenty of laughter. It was a very relaxed atmosphere.

Saturdays such as this, usually start from 3pm, and end at about 10pm or 11pm. There is food, plenty of them - from titbits to pastries to dinner, it was constant eating.

Let's see what we have here. There's pastries, sandwiches, mooncakes and jackfruits for tea. There were also prawn crackers, chocolate, popcorns...

For dinner, there was braised beef, curry chicken, prawn omelette, pork shoulder with lemon grass, 'Pak Choi', or white stem Chinese cabbage, and some rice.

I always enjoyed myself on such days. So much so, that when it came time to leave, I am always a bit reluctant for the day to end. I think there should be more of such days in our lives. I call these the little pleasures, and I think days filled with these are priceless.

I look forward to our next gathering.

Weekends are always great when spent with friends and when there's a lot of food. 😁
