Cigars, Coffee and Combrades @ Merdeka Palace

On Tuesday afternoon, after a discussion with Merdeka Palace Hotel's sales executive (hope you got us the best deal for Dec 23, guys :-), Ben, Robert, Mark, and Mr S were treated by Datuk JJ to Cuban cigars and drinks.

I believe this relaxing place is at the La Habana divan, which apparently specializes in a wide selection of Cuban cigars and also has one of the largest selection of Single Malt Whiskies in Malaysia. Of course, our friends were all very "kuai" and seem to be drinking coffee or tea only.



Jude joined them a little later, as the next photo shows ...




Now, am I the only one who can't recognise Mr S ? I'm sorry, he looks vaguely familiar, but .....

Here's a close up shot - trigger any memories for any of you reading this ?



Well, let me introduce you to none other than our old friend Subramaniam from Form 5 Arts 2 (1976) ! Now a high profile officer with the Polis DiRaja Malaysia (PDRM), he's based at Bukit Aman in KL.

Ahem Mr S .... errr ... I've this little problem with speeding tickets ... JUST KIDDING lah !

Also Subramaniam will be there at our Grand Reunion on 23 Dec. Really looking forward to meeting you there, Mr S !

  15. There are many cigar jokes around. Here's another one ...

    A guy traveling through the prairies of the USA stopped at a small town and went to a bar. He stood at the end of the bar, ordered a drink, and lit up a cigar.

    As he sipped his drink, he stood there quietly blowing smoke rings.

    After he blew nine or ten smoke rings into the air, an angry American Indian stomped up to him and said, “One more remark like that and I’ll smash your face in!”
