After more than 20 years, Ben and I met up once more with Secondary schoolmate, Colin Goh, also known as Mr Talkingcock.com.
Back in ACSS, Colin and I were part of the Literary Drama and Debating Society (LDDS), and we acted in that ambitious musical, Dazzle, together. Dazzle was a spoof of Star Trek, and I was Paddy, the stereotyped Irish Chief Engineer. Colin was Mr. Suey, the stereotyped Chinese takeaway dude. We didn't realise it at the time, but the musical was bloody racist. According to Colin, some nights, the stupid lyrics still haunt him:
Sampan special fried rice,
Special fried rice egg foo
We sell for velly cheap plice
Specially flied for you.
I even remember the tune to that song. Shudder.
Miyagi and I brought Colin and his wife, Yan Yan, to Hideout, and we got to listen to songs from Miyagi's pink iPod. It was a chill night, and we spent the time catching up and hatching evil plots.
And to prove once again how small Singapore is, guess who we bumped into there?
Jimmy of cynics.info and his yAnn.
No evening is complete without Miyagi making silly faces, flirting shamelessly, and doing the classic Miyagi angery look (like when he is misquoted in the papers, for instance).
Always good to meet up with old school chums after all these years and talk cock.
