Whole week of market turmoil. Today finally see some reversal. But that doesn't mean much...
Been quite busy lately. Got a special assignment to do some graphics designing. Although I do some website or publications back in uni, and also for my own homepage and stuff, but this task seems to be a bit more demanding. Cos it's to design posters for MOE. Somehow I seem to get myself associated with MOE recently. Previously I almost got an assignment to shoot an ad for MOE. Wahaha. Luckily I didn't, otherwise I'll be seen on TV everyday. Then now doing something for MOE again. Maybe it's a hint for me to join the education industry? Hmm...
12th October 2008, SundayAnd it's Zhangjing's idea that we come up with a dinner outing. Actually Boon Leong wanted it too. This Sunday gathering was meant to fit nicely for his schedule, but alas he only got notified he got work to do just few days before Sunday. Therefore we just went ahead as planned. There were supposed to have at least 12 people turning up. But Lionel said he was sick, and Li Tar, Leonard, Kok Yew, Norman didn't turn up as agreed. (Read PUT AEROPLANE) LOL. Nevertheless still got 8 people turned up: Elgin, Elvin, Kat, Li Teng, Yipeng, Fangyao, Zhangjing and me.
We walked along the street of steamboat restaurants. OMG the whole street is like Chinatown. All the restaurants were operated by mainland Chinese and so were the customers. So we walked along until we reached the Sinma Live Seafood Restaurant. Ahh.. lucky I made reservations. We got a table reserved for us on the air-conditioned second floor. So we ordered their signature dishes. There was this salted egg crab! Sounds awful, but when we get to taste it, it actually tastes rather unique. Tasty! We also ordered frogs, oatmeal prawns, sambal kangkong, black pepper venison, sweet and sour pork. Quite a decent spread. We (ZJ, YP and me) actually had a hard time ordering food, because the rest of them were busy chatting with each other. LOL. It's been 6 yrs since we last sat together in our bunks chatting back in army. There're definitely plenty of things we can talk about. And so we enjoyed our fill and also talked about everything under the sun. YP is planning a bigger gathering at the end of the year, so I do hope those absent could make it then. Quite a cool thing to meet up all the old buddies. Made me remember all the shyt and fun we had back in the army days.
Oh Li Teng took pictures with his Canon DSLR. Better-quality pix are available from the
album he uploaded onto Facebook.
