Prata Therapy

After a relatively long and very bad Tuesday, I was feeling extremely out of colour, sitting in the office alone at abt 11pm. Was pouring outside as I was preparing to go home when Tweetie popped a message on my MSN. She was suddenly craving for prata, and I haven't had dinner. So we both decided to meet up, dragging Jeffery along since he was also online.

It all started when Tweetie & me were struggling to get a taxi. I was like trying to call for almost 20 mins and all I got was engaged tone to practically all the taxi hotlines we knew of. Tweetie finally managed to get me a cab from her end, and subsequently another one for herself. Then we both headed separately towards Jalan Kayu for our comfort food.

Tweetie was wondering what to tell the taxi driver, and I told her to simply say, "Jalan Kayu Roti Prata"!!! Hahahaha... No taxi driver will say they don't know how go! Hehehe.

OK, so at our prata joint, Tweetie & me arrived first, followed by Jeff some minutes later. We ordered our dinner (actually supper already to be politically correct). And boy did we order A LOT! Imagine this, 3 ppl, 1 very big plate of Mee Goreng, 5 plain, 1 egg & onion (wrongly ordered by Jeff), 1 onion, 3 glasses of Teh Halia, and then as if not enough, Tweetie ordered another bomb much later, and 1 Lychee drink, 1 Teh Ice for me & I dunno what Jeff had... And remember, only the 3 of us, arriving close to midnight, and dinner/supper ended past 2am! How to not grow fat, you tell me???

Best part was, all throughout our prata therapy session, Jeff & Tweetie were happily TCSS-ing all the way, and I was laughing so uncontrollably. I swear the next table (or rather, customers @ the entire prata shop + the servers) must have thought that the 3 of us were escapees from the mental institute not too far away! Honestly, I cannot remember what were joked abt, or what was so funny, (except Tweetie & Jeff's lighter/car-remote comedy). But I swear, I laughed till I cramped up and nearly died. Not only me, but all 3 of us.

So much fun, really. That session really wiped the wrinkles off my forehead (but maybe put back the smile wrinkles round the corners of my mouth and eyes). Definitely took away the intense stress I had earlier. It's a pity we didn't take any photos that evening. Probably because we were really very tired, and didn't think of it. I think we should really do more such gatherings. Nice way to maintain good friendships/relationships. And always good to catch up on each others' well-being, as well as share the fun times.

P/S: Oh, thks to Jeff for sending me home after that. And also thks to Jeff again & Tweetie for walking me to my door step (they were afraid I would get kidnapped!).

P/P/S: I'm looking forward to our next Prata Therapy!
