The confession of an alter ego

So we had our Gang of Eight (GOE) breaking-fast cum reunion yesterday, sans Abang Violent. But the number was complete, with four girls and four guys, with the inclusion of Abang Lan who, in actual fact, was more of a hostage than a willing participant.

As usual the conversation revolved around work, DPA and the recently concluded convocation ceremony.

I am not much of a story teller. Most of the time during group outing, I would just listen and laugh and I might be tempted to interject in the conversation. But I’ll probably spend too much time constructing my sentences, that the moment of interjection would have passed.

Yesterday was no different, but I enjoyed it immensely.

During DPA, the eight of us became pretty close. It is impossible to pinpoint the actual moment that we connected, but a bond was formed. The bond was even more apparent following the reshuffling of sidang. We took every opportunity we could to hang out for drinks or dinner. We were surrogate siblings to each other, thus the gang was formed, and we are:

• Sleeping Beauty
• Abang Beautiful
• Nescafe Shake
• Abang Violent
• Adik Gedik
• Kayak 59
• Kakak Cool
• Me

Sorry for the psedonym, but I’d like to keep their identity private. If you know who these people are, just keep it to yourself, OK.

I’ll probably introduce the siblings in future blogs, so consider yesterday’s entry as an introduction to Abang Beautiful.
