Finally, 3rd time lucky. Captain Haddock has not had an easy time putting this together. Always somebody was not free to meet up, and always it had to re-scheduled. It didn't help that people weren't exactly enthusiastic about the whole thing. This time I decided to heck it and go ahead whether or not anyone turned up. Even if it meant only Captain Haddock turned up - he would simply go makan by himself :-p
Fortunately, some people did turn up - KN, RB, MV and II. Of course, MV was never part of the Physics team, but her close association with some of us meant it would be remiss of us not to have her along for the ride. KN did not eschew her traditional manner of arrival - late as ever, although not fashionably =p Her chemistry with RB is second to none - you could almost see the actual sparks flying off between the two of them. RB, well, has lost quite a bit of weight. His face is thinner than before. I'm not sure if it's got to do with his hectic work schedule or the fact that he goes to the gym a lot (and in very short shorts too. This was kindly pointed out by MV who apparently is on the lookout for tall, blond ang-moh men in very short shorts. Hmm). II was his usual crackpotty philosophical self - uttering philosophical phrases so deep that I felt like I was grasping at straws. Obviously he's a man who has been there, done that, especially when it comes to affairs of the heart. Much to tell, this one.
We had a nice dinner at Makansutra, near the two big durians. First time that the Captain went there - he was made to feel almost un-Singaporean for this act of non-patriotism. II drove MV and the Captain down to the two durians. II owns a motorbike AND a car. And he's not married. The Captain wonders why he needs two vehicles...

The suave, dashing driver
And his lovely female companion
There was quite a wide variety of food - the Captain was very excited at first. 
II, the driving force behind our Physics Package and RB, Mr "Wah lau" - former partners in crime. 
This was the reason the Captain gradually felt less enthusiastic about his maiden visit to Makansutra. It looks good but it tastes not much better than instant noodles. 
This, on the other hand, was simply sublime. Trust II to make a well-informed food choice!
MV's char kway teow
Old pals catching up
Tucking in
The carnage
Sitting back and rubbing their tummies after a satisfying mealWe adjourned to Coffee Club afterward. Fittingly, the walls were a certain distinctly familiar orange...
Only God knows what MV is looking so surprised for...
I always felt that they liked each other, on some level. I can only guess/gossip whether they have actually taken it to "the next level". 
KN and MV. I think MV gets better-looking day by day...I wonder why. Maybe it's because she's about to leave us...men all want what they can't have eh ;-)
My iced tiramisu latte whatever. Forgot the exact name. Suffice to say I had very little sleep that night thanks to the jolt of caffeine it sent coursing through my veins.
They actually look quite compatible. Too bad he's not exactly making himself available for a long-term relationship. Oh and I can say these things cuz he ain't reading this blog :p
The suave, charming II and a strange-looking man sitting beside him. I wonder where this weirdo came from.
I think I'm gonna put MV in my Top 5 too. I'd put you too KN but you ain't in the Orange building no more.
Close-up shot of KN...just for you ML! Heh
RB's banana cheesecake. Describing how much innuendo went on about "RB's bananas" wouldn't be doing the jokes any justice. You should have been there, those were priceless moments. 
The shy twosome...
My own (chocolate) cake paled in comparison. Darn I should have had RB's bananas instead
RB's strawberry blended crap. Forgot the name again
KN wants to punch RB...I have no idea why. Guess she just wants an excuse to touch him...or what they once called "frenching the dutch".
RB wipes off beads off sweat from his face...this dutch certainly doesn't want to be frenched!
And the group photo. Captain Haddock is nowhere to be seen, but the strange man in the black shirt is still there. Odd, very odd.

I wish that I could have RB's bananas too, they look really yummy! :D
RB and KN are so like the "couple who could have been a couple"
Yeah, I'm gonna put MV in my Top 5 too!
"That MV's so hot right now!" :D
Why does every Orange seem to look their best, when they are actually leaving the Orange?
Thanx guys (",) heh
