The day started out with me basically running out of the house because i'm extremely late for my project meeting. Was supposed to meet Joanne at Jurong East MRT station at 10 and at that time, i just only step out of my house. In the end, i've no choice but to take a cab down to meet her. Seriously, i'm the last person who would want to take a cab but i only resort to it due to the stupid situation i put myself into by continue to sleep after the alarm went off. Imagine the pain i felt at my heart and wallet, haha. I still think taking cab is a waste of money, seriously. Anyway, reached River View Hotel at the strike of 11, thank goodness, which is the timeslot we were given. We, alongside two of our other groupmates, were there to conduct an interview with their HR department for our integrated project. I think the people there have this misconception about this whole interview and they take it as though it's some kind of big activity organized by the school and they make the whole thing really formal and grand. We were escorted to this function room where there's five chairs at one end and 6 directly opposite. And they got all the managers involved, all 5 including the General Manager. They even go to the extent of preparing pastries and cakes for us, which unfortunately we didn't get to eat cause the General Manager was too talkative. Hahaha. I know, he is being really informative and helpful but i can't help but keep thinking about the cakes there, especially the mini puff. Hahaha! After an hour plus of briefing regarding almost everything, related and non-related, they brought us to their staff canteen to have lunch together, which is really thoughtful of them. Definitely information overload in this case but i must say, they are really very helpful and contributive. Everything would be perfect if my group doesn't have this fake butt-crack shower in my group who give me attitude for no using my phone to take pictures when the staff there already volunteered to send the pictures taken using his digital camera to us via our email! Throughout the whole interview, he keeps portraying that fake personality which makes me want to stick a finger into my throat to throw up all the roti prata i had for breakfast. And if he doesn't have the need to start a debate session over every little trivia matter, project meeting could end much earlier. For example, he has to insist with another group member that email is formal and this debate session could last forever. Seriously, i don't give a damn on whether email is formal or not. It may be and may be not. Why can't he just focus on the big picture, which is our project? I should just get him a buzzer soon, so that he can ring it everytime he has a desire to object to every thing. I know i sound real mean to him but i seriously don't care, for he give me attitude for absolutely no reason.

Went home to catch a nap before meeting HuiYing and LiYi in the evening. Dinner with them at Newton Circus. It's been long since i last saw them so it's definitely great to go out with them again. A lot of catching up to update each other with the latest news and i had a fantastic time! Here's what happened during dinner *a story purely for my bored-out-of-mind self, based on my slightly unimaginative imagination*

During dinner, the two girls had a fight on the difference between who should be sitting left and right, which resulted in them not talking to one another. When two friends are not talking, their mind slowly wander off to subject which are really irrelevant.

Upon seeing the situation, being the bored unimaginative me, i offered HuiYing 10 dollars, since she is so angry her shirt got poisoned, as seen in the above picture. This cracks a smile on the missy's face.


While it breaks my heart. There goes my ten dollars. (Again, this is wishful thinking, i ain't that generous).

But it's okay. At least peace is resumed back in Insect-filled land. The end. I know, the story sucks. But i'm too bored, so please ignore it. It's so lame but at least i give it a try, haha. I'm sorry for the usage of Singlish, it's solely for entertainment purposes.

Back to reality. This is the most expensive sugar cane juice i've ever drank. $2 dollars! I know it's not that much actually but most sugar cane juice out there are like, a dollar per cup!

Oyster Egg! The best dish in my opinion, crunchy and tasty and sinful!



Look at that oyster! Juicy and tender and it looks like it's going to explode with the touch of the tongue! But yikes, i hate oyster. The taste is really gross.

Satay! I've been having cravings for it ever since i can't remember when!

BBQ Chicken wings! Slightly over cooked but it's still nice, and oily. We all looked like we had a layer of lip gloss on us after eating this.

The Before. Oh ya, never buy stingray from stall 52! Haha. They serve us a burnt stingray! And their chilli taste like well, a salty sauce, that's all.

The After.

After dinner, it's time for what else but supper! LiYi had cravings for beancurd at Bukit Timah Hawker and therefore, off we go! Was really bloated but i simply can't resist the temptation of breancurd, that sweet white jiggly stuff! Sorry for that weird explanation but i think beancurd are really really nice. Definitely better than chocolates.

Some takeaway for their family and it's home sweet home! I had a great time today. Well, great evening and night, to be specific. There's tons of jokes and laughter and reminiscing of the old times, which makes the dinner extraordinarily enjoyable.
