Met up with the cast and crew last night. I know I should really be at work right now. I have been trying to post some pix of our meetings but the internet is giving me hell. Anyways, did not take any pictures of the meeting yesterday but there were heated discussions about traffic violations and in particular use of handicapped parking lots by perfectly normal people, if there is such a thing.
FPS could not get his bootleg copy of Mission Impossible II to work. Hence he convinced me to meet up at Uptown to exchange the damaged goods. As it were. Aside: Isn't it amazing that illegitimate establishments have return policies and none of the big name brands do that? Bizarre. I tell you.
Anyway, considering that we have spent the most part of this long weekend together, FPS suggested wisely to organise a meeting of the cast and crew before things turned brokeback. FYI, we had gone to Penang for a Toastmaster convention and I was not partial to watch MI:2.: Thandie Newton notwithstanding. Lick, smack lips.
The meeting without any particular agenda took place at Mosin, TTDI which began in earnest when LLL arrived in an oversized blue T-shirt. A few minutes later, A joined us also in a T-shirt. DL and T came right after. Both wearing tight fitting T-shirts. Why I notice these things is beyond me. I would recommend people to choose suitably sized T-shirts in the future because clothes make the man, I think. But alas I too was wearing a shrunk T-shirt and therefore in no position to really criticize.
If you think the above paragraph is pointless, well you will have an inkling of what it was like to be there as the better half of the discussion centred around the aforementioned handicapped parking zones.
Some notable quotes of the evening and I assure you there were too numerous to actually be remembered and recorded herein:
LLL on the (as-she-puts-it) Jerk who reported her to the KLCC car park management for parking at the handicapped spot, resulting in her car being clamped: If he can walk around a shopping centre, why can he not walk to the lift?
A on seeing LLL taking ages chopping up her roti canai into little pieces: You dont go to mamak often, do you?
LLL: What?
A: You can ask them to potong you know?
LLL: I was not aware that it was a service they provided.
LLL on how she avoided paying the fine on the clamped: I took the offensive and told the guy that I was giving a lift to a disabled person.
A: At least you didnt tell him you were blind.
Later T said: Well she cant, she would need a walking stick.
Everyone:?
A: Blind people dont drive!
D on his peeing technique: I stand from the door. It's like a drive by shooting.
T: But how aboout trajectory?
