Last night I had dinner with Ee Peng and JJ, two friends of mine who came from Melbourne for work-related purposes. Ee Peng was also from Penang and we were in the same college in Perth in 1999. Somehow we didn't keep in touch until now. Here's a photo of Ee Peng and I taken last night.
JJ was my ex-housemate's brother. When he came to Canberra for a few months at the end of 2003, we just somehow got very close. I think that was the best days I had since coming to Canberra, because the house was like an 'attraction point' for our friends. It was the time when a lot of our friends are graduating, so some of them moved in to stay with us for a while before leaving for Sydney or Melbourne. At one point there were about 8/9 of us staying at the town house. We played Starcraft (computer game), Settles of Catan (board game), cooked and just hang out together. It was just great.
JJ's a funny guy. But Ee Peng says he keeps irritating her at work :) and he wouldn't allow me to put his photos on my blog, so I'll just cover his face. Say 'Hi' to JJ :)
Anyway, back to our dinner. We went to Belluci's in Manuka. JJ and I each had a fillet mignon on mashed potato with mushroon sauce. Ee Peng had pan-seared ocean trout on garden greens.
Here's the fillet mignon..
and the ocean trout..
Well, it was a good dinner and we had a great chat. Aya and I will be going to Melbourne for the New Year celebrations. We'll fly there on the 29th Dec and leaving on the 1st Jan 2007, so we'll have plenty of time to catch up with friends.
