17th October 2008, Friday
Went to discuss with Yipeng about the graphics design project at his company. Then it was decided that we go to Bugis for steamboat. And guess who I saw. It's Naizhu. Everytime bump into him outside. And so he tagged along for the steamboat dinner to make it just nice of four people, because Yipeng brought his colleague, Natalie, along. So we went to the 天天火锅 place for steamboat. It was my first time there even though I've seen the commercial on TV millions of times. But I never get to eat there cos of the long queue. That day the restaurant was pretty empty. Think maybe cos it's still quite early. So NZ and I waited for the other two to arrive. We sat from 6:30pm to almost 9:30pm. Wahaha! Eat until shiokz. 3 hrs of steamboat buffet. And I must say the wanton chicken soup base is pretty nice. The crabs there were also quite clean compared to some other steamboat restaurants along the stretch >_<. So after dinner I went over to Paulaner just opposite Suntec. Charles, Jiajun and Zhongming were already there. Charles' classmate, Lily, a cabin crew, reached the place at the same time as me. So we talked cock over some beer before Jiajun left. We were sitting on the outside at first, but then we shifted inside and ordered some more beer. ZM left and so there were only Charles, Lily and me left. Felt a bit too bright wahahha. But then again, the girl is already attached. LOL. So we finished up the beer and went home. ZZZzzz... Another drinking session. I'm not working but still spending on beer OMG.
18th October 2008, SaturdayHad to pick up my parents at the airport. Cousins Wilson and Vivan were there to pick up 大姨 too. Used the Fring application to connect to msn at the budget terminal. And immediately my iPhone got FLOODED by Jane and Teddy. They told me to log into T-1(MapleStory private server) asap cos they wanna get married. -____- My iPhone kept buzzing and vibrating like mad. Crazy girls! LOL... And soon my parents and auntie came out and all I saw was bags and bags of stuff. They sure know how to shop. Two words. 恐怖
19th October 2008, SundayPeiyi saw an announcement on the newspaper that there will be some photographer sharing some of his experience taking photos at some place in Sabah. Therefore we gathered at Outram MRT station and we proceeded to some ulu cafe on the 2nd floor at Oriental Plaza. His pictures can be seen from his website at
223 GO! And I must say they're pretty awesome. Very nice pictures. And din know there's such a beautiful place in Sabah. This guy organizes trips to that place, for people to learn, and to take pictures. He explained every single picture in a slideshow presentation. How he took it. What were the conditions. How he felt. Kinda interesting. There were like 20+ people in that small little cafe. Since we were late, we had to sit on the floor lol.
After the presentation, we left the place and went on to the Chinatown hawker centre for desserts. Along the way we saw a middle-aged man sitting on the floor. He was doing some Chinese calligraphy, but in a rather unusual way. He uses his left hand to write some words, while the right hand does some weird circular motion along a circular metal bowl. This is to show he is able to control both hands to do different things at the same time. Impressive!
Next, he even wrote some Chinese characters upside down, using only one of his feet holding the brush!
After he finished writing, the people surrounding him all this time remained as still as statues. Nobody applaused. The man then asked whether anyone wants to buy his work. Nobody gave a damn. LOL. How sad. I guess no Singaporeans appreciate this kind of art. Therefore the crowd dispersed and we went up to the hawker centre for desserts.
After desserts, we walked all the way to The Central and went to have some more drinks at TCC. The interior decoration was quite beautiful. Nice lights and decorative walls. There we ordered drinks and Peyyong took out his lappy to share with us some of the pix he took in Cambodia. I was half asleep because I didn't have much sleep the previous night. We spent almost two hours at TCC.
Then we got Yaokun to pick us up and drove us to Ikea at Tampines. It was my first time there even though I stay in Tampines. LOL. I've also not been to the Giant and Courts over there. We had dinner at the Ikea foodcourt and I ordered the meatballs set. Shiokz! So we went home after dinner. ZZZzzz... Tiring day.
