OFB #1 - The Trip Began.
To be continued....
.
This trip like many of our MyKlang stories began with a feast. And it happened not on just any other ordinary day. It happened on a day Malaysian History was changed (though we did not realized it then). March 8 - a day all Malaysian of this and future generations will always remember. When a political tsunami swept the go~ment boat and badly damaged it giving renewed hope to the people. Some of us had voted, others will be doing soon but like the sentiment of the rest of the country, it was a table of malcontents. So when a man came and distributed buttons with the smiling face of a ruling party candidate, he got an earful and beat a hasty retreat. When asked where we were on that fateful day, none of us will ever forget - we were having Bak Kut Teh!
For we were there to have a meeting to discuss our trip to One Fathom Bank coming April 12. By the time I arrived with Lemon Angel, Kurauking, Kimmy, Kobzng, Pooh88, Aircraft and two newcomers - pstan82 and Genio were already there and eating. The whole country was boiling over the brim and we make sure our soups were too for we really believe in the adage - "never fight on an empty stomach."
No one seemed to bother that the serious discussions on the trip took slightly more than 5 minutes and the eating the rest. The purpose after all is to have fun. And to MyKlang members, not many things can beat piping hot good food. Come to think of it, it could be we were super-efficient, ya, that sounds better than food addicts. We were super-effective food addicts.
Stomach full, we relaxed and settled down lazily to discuss anything under the sun including politics. Later that night, we were all be again be online in the forum discussing the political upheaval in the most exciting election we have ever known. Our trip started on a day the country has a new hope, a new dream and hopefully a new future. Looked like our trip could not have started on a more auspicious day! We have created history! Ordinary men and women like us having breakfast on a lazy Saturday....
