one finnnneeee evening... as many fine legends begin with, the 3 musketeers gathered after weeks of separation. they seeked a reunion of sorts to tell and retell their expeditions of many, marred by their unique encounters, forged by an adventurous spirit. the party would be accompanied by 2 fair maidens, (an act which by some force majeur, has gained currency lately), to visit their long lost comrades. it was to be a grand affair, save for the uncanny 'punctuality' of two thirds of the trio, it was otherwise a rather pleasant evening. they arrived nonetheless, but alas, the banquet had already come to a close! there lay not a morsel left to chance upon, but in times of need, you can always count on the brotherly ties between the party and their younger tribemates =) a meticulously prepared concoction of what-have-you ice cream, vegetable (cabbage..?), chilli sauce, pepper, salt, a mushroom (where did this come from?!), tomato ketchup and other extreme-gourmet inspired ingredients constituated the bulk of a food offering. well, good gestures and sincerity aside, we hastily declined, for transcient thoughts of days following seoul garden eat-outs vividly flashed across our minds. and so the 5 decided on a fast meal, whilst sharing their tales of destiny... there existed some missing camaraderie lingering in the atmosphere, since there were some knights missing from the s33 round table, but nonetheless, laughter plagued the air frequently, commanding frequent glares from the other patrons in the erm.. tavern. feelings of nostalgia rekindled, stories of varying content were quickly exchanged between mouthfuls. it was reminiscent of the good old schooling days. =) alas, even in the days of bow and arrow, time's overgrown wings work overtime when we've having fun and it was all too soon that we had to part ways, reluctantly. a plan to gather again next week was quickly conceived, and as such a part 2 lies in wait...

jts at swensens rocked. =)
