The Gans decide to fulfill Jon's craving of 'Banana fritters ala mode' in the Buttery of The Royal Lake Club this evening after dinner. As we trooped up the stairs/gradient up from the lobby, papa gan spots a band of theatre-type individuals huddled at door of the buttery having a smoke. It was Joe, Faridah and Ari Ratos. Joe was taking copious drags from his cigarette. We exchanged pleasantries, hugs and kisses and everybody meets everybody once again. Jon clearly remembers them from the party at the Morton's, Zane vaguely and Summer hardly. But everyone's thrilled at meeting 'important'and 'famous' people.
Yup. Farida and Joe are famously important in our lives. Like beacons lighting our life's journey. From Jeff Orr's wedding reception at the same club, as exclusive invitees to Daryll Morton's poolside party and several other chance meetings, encounters with the two of them are always endearing no matter how brief. It is lovely to see Faridah allow Joe enjoy a smoke (and a few glases of wine apparently) again. Here's to life, Datuk Faridah and (Datin?)Joe,you guys live it so well.
Jon finished every last bit of his banana fritters ala mode, Summer and Zane devoured their banana splits while Mum, drove Popo to Bangsar Village looking for us. Miscommunication la.....
