This "mamak stall" is opened by a Malaysian, an Ipohan, a Michaelian near Sydney's chinatown. The food is pretty good and the price is "good" as well. Try guessing what I ordered.

Sydney Invasion! Who did I meet?

Kenny - An aspiring Electronics Engineer, currently studying in the University of New South Wales (UNSW). I last saw him about two years ago, when he was undertaking internship in Agilent. He still looks and behaves the same.

Ryan - An old friend. We have know each other for 21 years since primary one and in the same class all the way to SPM. Has always been a strong competitor in academic, topping the class numerous time but I got the last laugh in SPM. Moved to Sydney 1.5 years ago and now working hard to sell Sydney to the rest of us. I guess he needs more 'kakis' there. Hosted me for the entire week.

MJ - Another old friend, also known each other for 21 years. We studied similar course in undergraduate but in different universities and worked for the same company but in different departments. We accidentally met each other in Hard Rock Cafe San Francisco, attending similar event in Tokyo and now holidaying together in Sydney. I guess we will probably bump into each other in Europe the next time.

Yoon, MJ, Adrian, Sean, Jasmine, Alexis and Ryan, at Port Stephens

Adrian - I call him Moo. Probably know him only in form 2, when he got promoted from "M" to "S". A prefect but always get into trouble with the teachers, ha hah. A fun friend, helped me to booked the flights to/from Sydney. I tried to get to him to sponsor my tickets, but I got a few Baroccas instead. Thanks anyway. Now, working hard to build his already fit body. Girls, beware!

Yoon - Our dearest and de facto class monitor for 5 years. He always won hands down, no voting required. Loves cars. Loves to draw. I still remember a comic strip he produced for the school magazine regarding some of our teachers. It was hilarious. Currently an architect base in Adelaide, promised to design a house for me when I have a plot of land. Might be moving away from Adelaide in the next year.

Jasmine - A not so old friend, heard about the name back in secondary school, as Ryan's girl. Only met her few years back. She was from the HOT school girl in Ipoh. Apparently she knew me by name too (well, I was famous!). Now married to the high school sweetheart and a mother to Alexis. Certainly a wonderful friend, introduced me to pretty girls.

Sharon - Jasmine's ex-colleague in Price Water House. Joined us for a day to Port Stephens.

Hwei Meen - Old friend of Yoon and Adrian. Joined us for a day around the city.
