The questions came fast and furious. The replies were, however, lacking in speed and at best, hesitant and measured.

I could tell A relished firing the salvos like a revolver put on the automatic mode whereas B was having a hard time shielding himself from the shots. Poor thing. The names of A & B shall not be revealed to protect the guilty and innocent. Haha…

Such a scenario can only happen during a gathering. Yes, it’s our manpower gathering today. Though the turnout was smaller than the last time (only 5 of us made time this round), it certainly wasn’t lacking in the fun element.

And fun it was! For once, I was thankful I wasn’t the centre of attention when it came to answering questions. Instead, I was like a supporting actor, squeezed in between the two protagonists A & B. Phew!

Food is not the main focus of such gatherings. It’s the catching up that I enjoy most. After all, it’s been almost a year or slightly more since I last saw some of my ex-colleagues. Yeah, how fast time flies by…

But for the record, I think I made the right choice by ordering fish. A & B, who concidentally ordered chicken, felt they got ripped off coz the chicken portion was small. Very small indeed. Perhaps it was a kampong chicken? Maybe.

After the chicken which ruffled a few feathers and caused a little unhappiness, the updating process started. I didn’t have to say much as my life is so transparent, courtesy of longtaizi.org, for the whole world to read and see. In fact, I didn’t give much of an update either. Haha…

Then it started to get saucier and saucier as the night lingered on. For the attached (A & B), the inevitable questions of birds, bees, latex and honey could not be avoided. In fact, I think it was a ploy between the two of them since they have had some experience.

Relationships, love and sex issues and questions arose. That’s how men think. Haha…

“So how many times a week do you guys do it?”

“Too often that you lost count?”

“Do you use…?”

“……….?”

“….?”

The fivesome at the latest manpower gathering

I sat there waiting for the embarrassed, albeit short answer and the next question in rapid quick succession. There was no letting go once one protagonist swung into top form. The momentum just had to continue. Hey, I was really enjoying myself seeing someone getting tormented and embarrassed at the same time. This is way better than a $10 movie on a Friday night boy…hahahaha…

But in all honest, I think it was in good fun. Or should I say they were comparing notes? Hmm…Guess you can’t be so open in the office, right?

I’m looking forward to the next gathering at the end of the year
