Men In Green

These are my army guys. Part of a larger, more insane group bonded together by green uniforms, threats to the nation and more accurately, year we were born in, we have been meeting about once a year since 1995. Although we've all grown up and have some semblance of an adult Singapore life, we still behave the same way when we are together - like a bunch of goofballs. Perhaps that is the thread that unites this group. That and all the crap that reservist life is made out to be. This occasion came about because Alex, the 2nd chap from the right, needed an escape before his first kid left his wife's womb to become a lifelong obsession.

We had dinner at Botak Jones, our version of Singapore haute cuisine brought down to the masse. Western food always conjures up impression of grandiose extravagance. The food was good, carbo aplenty, flushed with many a lemon tea and a margarita.
