ok, so cindy paid the cab fare of $15 (that’s the amt it’d cost from camp to suntec city). ben betted with her that it’d cost more than 13, cindy replied “nooo..can’t be la. at most 11 only.” what happened? free ride for me LOL. ben, tim and i were psychoing her during the long journey and reminding her of the zero chances she could get away haha. taxi guy was laughing.
our dinner appointment with the other camp mates was at 7 pm. we arrived there early and decided to hang around carrefour since cindy wanted to buy some groceries. and furniture -_-. and i wanted to get some gifts for my dearest stanley and justin who are ORDing in a couple of weeks, and leicester who’s flying off to thailand for a 6-mth attachment. so it was more of a~ celebration and a farewell =]
7pm @ kuali. ok i really need to blog on this one. first off, i was quite disappointed with how their buffet runs. no, it’s not your fault cindy, you didn’t know that they have changed their buffet arrangement. we all had to settle for a semi-buffet, which included only the appetizers, soups and desserts but no main courses. i missed their german potatoes, red sea bass and gong bao ji ding, but sadly their main courses were separate orders altogether. and ordering just ONE main course would be an extra 5 bucks to the tab. argh, forget it. secondly, our helpings to some of the more expensive items were being ‘controlled’ or ‘watched’, in particular, the ham in sweet maize-honey sauce, the greens, the choc fondue and sashimi. i do understand the business’s rationale behind stationing waiters and waitresses but sometimes it gives the public, or rather, just me, the intimidating factor. it seemed as if they were reminding me, hey, you have had 3 or 4 servings of ham, betta watch yourself boy. like hello, were you trying to embarrass me or sth? besides i’ve got other selections to love and if you were thinking i was going to finish all of the ham, tat’s ridiculous! then again, sometimes it’s helpful for them to be around. it’s common for customers to get messy at the stations haha. ok now for the grading. items that deserved a B+ to A were the corn soup, the milk chocolate, herbal soup & chocolate ice-cream. tat’s abt it. the desserts and salads deserved the average B. those that suck were basically the rest and i was referring to the prawns, mussels, dark chocolate for the fondue, the pasta, sashimi, bread etc. those were HORRIBLE.
thereafter some headed home, while the rest of us went pubbing at holland v’s walla-walla. am not a avid goer to such places but since everyone was so ON abt going, might as well join the crowd =]. it turned out okae, but the band wasn’t fantastic imo. me drank 2 glasses of absolut (housepour). the fun ended near midnight as most of us had CAMP!!! tmr.
wednesday in camp. nothing interesting happened.
thursday in camp. morning: i was warming up my cube seat and ready for the day while timmy with his neatly-gelled hair, looking shagged, came over to tell me of the tasks i needed to do for the day and at the same time, dug his nose for nearly an entire minute; his index literally shot up his right one and started hunting for gold. no it was not ok. it was disgusting & erm.. unpleasant @_@. ok maybe he isn’t the image-conscious kind lol. though i like gold, but i won’t wanna have them all around my table. noon: an all-time favourite sleeper behind csm’s cubicle was caught by big boss and was given punishment accordingly. lunch sucked like hell. afternoon: a meeting with my superiors and external agencies and i had to take minutes. GAWD.. tat was one of the worst times i’m taking minutes. they bulletted through their speeches, they rebutted every now and then, and different conversations were going on at the same time. WTH.. i was like @_@ and @_@ and @_@ for a whole fucking 3 hours. came the 2nd hour, i shut down.. heavy eyes, ears shut, nose didn’t shut; i could only concentrate on the aroma of coffee in the room. the meeting ended ard 6.30 and ms lee and i took cab home.
today is friday and a GD FRIDAY it is! am going to hog again afterwards hehe. wishing all a great weekend and here’s a collage i did yesternight. to all: i’ll also send u guys this collage patchwork thru’ mail so you can keep it as a rememberance. =]
