Steamboat & 小笼包!


Dinner tonight with people I'm so familiar with!
Managers and colleagues from my very first full time job~ ^^

Tonight's dinner place was such a great decision!!! I am not a fan of steamboat, and most certainly have not felt this glad to be having steamboat due to the weather, until today...... I felt so comforted by the hot hot soup that we were having. Mm-mmm.

It was pouring when I left work today and I got soaking wet by the time I reached the restaurant...... Even though it was so so near my office. I was almost dripping wet; had to even stuff tissue into my shoes to absorb as much water as it could. Actually, maybe it's because my workplace is so near Holland Village's Crystal Jade (Steamboat and Xiao Long Bao), that I got so drenched because I didn't think taking a cab was a good idea for the pocket and took a bus + walk instead. Oh wells. Life is as such? Lol.

Anyway, it was a very good catch up with my ex-managers and ex-colleagues (though I've only work with 2 out of the 4).. I've always felt glad that I have started with them because my managers were such great people to work with! Not like the typical horror stories you hear about female bosses..... =p

&Today, a good friend of mine turns 21... 梅花!!!
 
We've only known each other for over a year, and even though she's two years younger than me, I'm happy to have this flower in my life. It's quite amazing how this friendship just happened. Everything started at MCBI, from a normal colleague at work to a good friend in my life. I can still remember how much I didn't like her at first because she was so so so negative; her work mentality was worrisome too. This, of course, she doesn't know. Yet. :X LOL!

Anyway, she celebrated her coming of age on Sunday at Raffles' City Buffet Town. Invited only her family and a few close friends, I was honoured to have been invited. ^^ Didn't know what to get her, so I volunteered to help take pictures during her party and gave her a small token. :3

It was extremely tiring that day. Reached earliest among her guests and left the latest among her guests. LOL. Since it's been two years since I'd help take party pictures, I totally forgot how tiring it could be. Went home all dogged, but I had fun and am glad the pictures turn of pretty nice. :D

Okay.. Pictures! ^^

With our managers at work!
It was nice seeing them again. Can't wait to meet them again for lunch after I get a job. xD

Throwing you all the pictures without caption now on because... I'm lazy!

Oh ya. The food wasn't good. At all. To me.

I remember not eating much because the food weren't nice. :X After eating a few items, I kept yearning for a drink. And it's not the kind of thirsty that I enjoy having... It's like... the food has been bathed in MSG. Lots of MSG. The only food I manage to enjoy was their sashimi and oysters.

I was amazed by the crowd though. Even before the buffet officially starts, there was a really long line outside the restaurant already. :O Initially thought the food was so good that many couldn't wait to start their meal. But nope! Possibly because it's a cheap buffet. But even for the price, I don't think I'll ever go back for it.

Her makeshift birthday cake!

It was a great idea. Saved the trouble on slicing and distributing the cake that most people might not eat in the end. One cup per person to bring home is so convenient and easy!

They kissed her. We then proceed to get her boyfriend to do the same. xD
Embarrassing for them max.

Dinner Together ~~

So it turns out I'm not done for tonight. Not yet!! xD
Fourth entry today, I must be feeling really hardworking. Hahahaha. Another blogging record broken! And I don't think I'll ever blog five entries in a day. :/

ANYWAY, this is more or less going to be just a picture post. :D

Other than the nice lunch with my managers, a few colleagues also asked me out for dinner tonight. Went down to Plaza Singapura's Itacho and had a really heavy dinner. x,x

I've been eating so much good food that I'm losing appetite. Lol.

&Yes, I'm done. xD
Another last day tomorrow. I guess I would miss this comfort zone and Mei Hua. And my managers. And some other colleagues.
