I had a great time at Keg yesterday. It’s not everyday that my friend Kevin invites me to dinner. My first thought was “No thanks, don’t pay for me” but he insisted and well, he is working now. So I don’t feel that bad about it. He is a great guy who helped me with Maths in my last year in high school. I was going through a rough time & didn’t feel like studying anymore (I had missed many classes at school) but he encouraged me and taught me Statistics 1 & 2 a few months before the final exams. Those few months were pretty stressful and even if he didn’t manage to make me like Maths again ( I used to love Maths in my lower classes) , he helped me a lot and I was pretty satisfied with my results. He told me that I’ve changed a lot since last year; my way of talking, not so ‘childish’ , etc. I never realised it. Anyway, I was told that I’ve matured into a beautiful young lady. *the last part nearly had me choking on my drink* *grins*
Saan , Francis and Sergio were also there. Saan was in my ballet & Chinese dance class. I was so glad to see her again. We had a lovely dinner, tried the new beer which they were giving out free (the name is Black Eagle or something… I didn’t like it. I don’t like beer) , joked around and tried to hear each other talk over the loud music and singing. The singing was good. Those people sure are talented.

Pic of two of the singers:

Sergio left us for a while to go somewhere with some of his friends and the rest of us stayed at Keg, taking pics and sipping our drinks. I had a Pina Colada. It’s very light and reminds me of milkshake. I love it.

Then came the “This song is for Aline from Shanghai… she’s studying there and is on hols in Mauritius… ” (the singer said something like that in French). Turned out that Kevin requested a song for me. All grins and laughter at my table. I think I might have blushed too. I was a bit embarrassed. OMG. The people sitting near our table, including many tourists, all looked at me. Those sitting further away were craning their neck and trying to see who this “Aline from Shanghai ” is. The singer had made it sound like I’m originally from Shanghai, i.e, he made it sound like I’m Shanghainese. He sang “Eternity” by Robbie Williams for me and finished with a “Ni hao, this song was for Aline from Shanghai.” More laughter at my table and people looking at me again. I could have died.

Afterwards, we took the free ferry from Caudan Waterfront to Le Suffren Hotel. (it took like 3mins..) Sergio was waiting for us there. It was my 2^nd time there ever since I came back to Mauritius in July. Apparently, Le Suffren is a popular new hangout now; many people all dressed up, walking around, talking and with their wine glasses in their hands. Definitely not how I’d like to spend my Fridays or Saturdays. Still, Le Suffren is a beautiful place.

I took a pic of the bar from upstairs but didn’t use flash. No wonder the pic is very dark and not clear. ah well..

The only person who didn’t take pics with us at Keg; Sergio. hehe We finally have a pic.

And here’s the ‘big boss’. Quelle pose!
