La kopi with Choo + short meet-up with PG

Finally my deserved break is here. Whole day stayed at home with a nap in the afternoon - too tired liao.

Went out la kopi with Choo at 9.30 pm. What a surprise invitation from him as I think we haven't meet each other for very long liao. He has just finished his last exam yesterday so it's a good time to catch up with his friends ba - afterall now is December, holiday mood leh. Also asked PG if he will be staying up or not, to pass him the taobao stuff - they have been idling around my house for almost 1 month liao. But as it was close to 9 pm liao so I postponed PG one to after the la kopi session to avoid being late for Choo's one.

Saw the red light camera flashed when I was at Woodlands Avenue 12 - looked like the car did dash across the road after the red light. But the red light was lit for quite sometime liao leh, the driver should have sensed it and stopped the car. Sway lor... 誰管……

He asked me for the salary I'm getting now. I only told him it's above 3k - that's what almost all of NTU EEE graduates are getting now what. No 3k for an university engineering graduate a bit saggy leh.

Went to Casuarina Curry. Choo said recently got a lot of speed cameras installed. We saw one at Upp Thomson Road, speed limit only 70 km/h. He also mentioned there was another one at SLE.

Then when he changed topic to Casuarina Curry restaurant, I raised my eyebrows when he said he came here 'sometimes' - so meaning he la kopi quite often la? He then clarified that this sometimes refers to the occasions he brought his parents there to jiak prata lor.

Luckily the carpark was not full - managed to park into the lot in just one try with the car aligned more to the kerb. 對於自己的停車技術感到欣慰,呵呵!Ordered a kosong and an iced milo. Though I didn't frequent the outlet a lot but I noticed that the restaurant seems to raise price now. Choo just said confirm got raise one.

The kosong prata came shortly after. 好小喔!又貴又小的說!要不是跟朋友聚一聚,我才不要光顧了。其實跟朋友會面聊天,最重要是聯絡感情,其餘的都不是那麼重要,不是嗎?

Choo thought Bay still work in a bank... Hello~~ That one is during Bay's attachment in 2011 leh. So long ago liao leh. 我們都一致同意他真的好有錢啊!

He was so amused by my colleagues. Ya I told him about Barry 'threatened' me to drink the beverage he bought despite me replied him I don't want any drink after he asked me want drink or not. Then also mentioned about Joa's Fear mongering tactic on me. He totally spewed some vulgarities coz too amused by it liao. Oh well, I rather have people like that than those who play offlice politics one lo. Hehe!

Then when talking about my job again, I thought he didn't know in depth of my job scope. But when he was able to mention that I went to Spain for work training, I was confused already. Did we meet up after I started working and prior to this meet up? I can't remember liao. But anyway he got a good memory wor, still able to remember that I went to Spain before.

He saggy when he said he hasn't cleared any of the reservist. On the other hand, he clocked 2.4 km with an unknown timing so he got 51 points, just nice to pass the IPPT without incentive. I don't know how well I will do in IPPT. Wait for April next year ba.

Talking about the job that he's applying for, it's some event coordinator, so it implies that Choo will not have many free weekends and it makes meeting friends more difficult liao. T.T But in a way, it's similar to K9 days lor.

Damage: $9.10 (total $9.10)
Quite expensive leh! My kosong prata costs $1.20 and that iced milo costs $1.60. Total $2.80 only. Even if factor in the service charge and GST, still also quite expensive for Choo leh. What he ordered har? Also a piece of prata (I think is egg and cheese ba)  and a kopi mah... 能貴到哪裡去.

I think he's using Samsung Galaxy S5 now. I thought he went back to iPhone kakaka.

Somehow we mentioned his dog bite incident while on our way back ds. He got 1 month ATT C, then 2 weeks of  ATT B so that he could go on leave after ATT B period. Jin du lor...

He still got painting works tomorrow to do. Wakakaka...

Then went to find PG to pass him those Taobao stuff.

He went Sync Korean to meet his sec sch friends. Ordered kid's meal mcs?! But he said the jam quite nice which I don't agree. I think it looks and tastes like our economical fried mee lor.

He said a few things very bx.
  • 與 explodingbelly 的 instameet 告吹了。原因是明天 explodingbell有訓練,是補回今天取消的訓練檔的。
  • HL knows that we have been interacting with explodingbelly she also wants to meet her. 很毒!
  • HH spent $400-500 on winter wear. 不講我都沒有想到都要買冬裝,還沒飛去就花大錢了。PG 的看法是其實冬裝可以不要那麼貴的,就是 Uniqlo, H&M 這一類的服裝店賣的冬裝頂多去到 36 號尺碼。至於 HH,他需要 39-40 號的大尺碼,最終不得不從 Pull & Bear 這種比較高級的服裝店買 ang moh size 的說。都說了注意飲食減肥減重,很多問題就一起解決了呀!加上這次一家人去(除了哥哥一家人之外),又不能跟家人還是親友什麼的,借幾套冬裝去韓國。回來又無用武之地的說。只能說他太有錢了。
  • 由於人數太多,HH 的住宿分為兩間房。其中一間還是我們在 Hongdae 住過的!拜託!
  • 最近 HH 有幾張照片特別有水準,PG 看了就留言咯。豈料引起他的注意,就 WhatsApp PG 澄清都是 Nicholas 幫他打點滴的——從擺好食物、飲料及擺設品之後一路到照相儲存下來為止。然後 HH 看到 PG 只對於 Nicholas 用 HH 的手機拍出來的照片有留言後,整個人變 saggy 去,問道為什麼沒有在他自己親身拍的照片而留言。哎喲喲,當然啦!你拍的照片那麼醜,有些還失焦去,怎麼跟 Nicholas 的高潮水準攝影技術比啊?
  • meansegg 也是很不行。據 PG 的描述,當日只有 PG、HL 跟 Nicholas 出席 8 Days Eats 的試吃活動,而就跟 meansegg 一起聊天。這時 meansegg 就問他們是不是還有多一位朋友,被反問回是誰後,meansegg 就提起我。眾人都咋舌去,她怎麼那麼清楚我們的關係啊?Stalk instagram stalk 到很緊咧!
  • Nicholas 約人出來陪他‘做工’約到很兇,都是那種撒大網,不管大魚小魚有捕獲魚就 ok 的心態。也是聽 PG 說有時候光顧的咖啡館不值得寫稿出版,所以開銷只能吃自己咯。就算是稿子得以出版,也是很難賺到錢,因為稿費全都拿去貼點餐費用了。說不定可能連車馬費都補補回來。
  • Zanthera 跟 weeatfish 近日在 PG 的圖片有很激烈的互動,這一切都被 PG 關注到的說!

2014 Week 48 half-week review

2014-11-24 Monday
What a saggy start to the week!

I wouldn't say I arrive at Lakeside MRT as early as usual, just a little bit late. But my heart went saggy when I see the next train coming in 5 mins! Peak hour and train arriving in 5 mins is not acceptable ds!

PG also took the same saggy train Lok. He totally saggy because he tapped in after 7.15 am so those trips weren't counted as decongesting trips lololol. Now then you know?! Keke..

Luckily still got free ride when coming out of Clarke Quay MRT ds! Phew~! Took 174 to Dhoby and then changed to 64.

Luckily morning nothing big happened. Meeting also went rather smoothly. Sadly can't join Angie for lunch.

Went lunch with Joa, JM and GD at the kopitiam behind for lunch. Ordered bar chor mee ($4), then Joa said she cancelled order for GD. But who so stupid to believe her when there were chopsticks and soup already served. JM found her duck rice with chilli too oily, so she took out the oil. Then GD looked at it and seemed like don't know what was that. I said 'minyak~ minyak~ you don't know what is minyak?' Then GD went exploded saying don't talk to me as if I don't know English like that. So fierce 看了都怕怕……

GD asked why Joa treat me so bad. Ya lor, she keeps 'bullying' me de. Now finally got someone who can understand my concern liao. GD jin du: say Joa not a female. Shrieking out loud. He said he knows how to cook, but JM said he bluff one. I asked what he knows - all kinds of egg and noodles. =.= This one I also know leh.

After the lunch, Joa wanted to go Wang's to buy tissue paper. But it started to drizzle.

Joa kept disturbing me, cannot let me have a quiet environment to work meh? And hor 車壞 yes it's repair. But Barry's car is not 壞, I would say is due to wear and tear and some parts needed to be replaced. Imagine really spoil, the car can't move anymore! Aia, I don't want argue so much with her...

Then came out again around 3 pm, this time round GD didn't come out, so only 3 of us went out to get some drinks. Joa bought lots of snacks, on top of her tissue packets ds. To me the tissue papers are the same, whether they are pocket-, packet- or box-sized. Unless talking about toilet paper.

Alberto used candy box to throw at me coz he tried to call me and I couldn't respond as I was listening to MP3. Aigoo...

Quickly zao from office after 7.15 pm. But let both 151 and 154 off le shuo. Then GD came and the bus didn't see him and zao off also. He scolded 'WTF' and then so fierce say bye to us and zao took MRT.

On board bus, Joa said GD very lazy one. He just want to live near to the workplace lol. We changed topic after this, she totally bx when I tried to rank those people according to their wealth. At first I said 1. Joa, 2. Barry, 3. GD. Then slowly it evolves into 1. Joa father, 2. Joa mother, 3. Joa ahlao. LOL~ She totally burst out LOL ds. Then talked about work stuff before I continued my journey home lakeside. Actually it took me slightly more than 1 hour. It's not that slow la. Just a little bit more expensive than the cheapest way back home and I could save some time lo.

HL sent in the itinerary for BKK trip. 全都是吃的!

PG went into total bx after what Nicholas sent him the whatsapp ss. I didn't know AH is actually G. G still nvm and he talks so openly that if I were Nicholas I probably would ignore him coz too scary le. MCS, just on first talk and they talked for almost 2 hours! He went into talking about age-restricted topics ds. 挑戰又或者說完全不顧尺度,大談限制級話題的說。最近Nicholas很多這種艷遇,真的很不行。



2014-11-25 Tuesday
Morning almost late that I almost couldn't get free ride ds. BX! PG 爆料 say andripedia asked Nic not lonely meh? Omo! Shrieking out!!!

Gon came into office in the morning. What a surprise because I expect him to be at site.

Meeting wasn't as smooth as yesterday one but at least not draggy so it's OK lo. Joa, Barry, JM, GD and Eric went near to meeting place for 板麵. I couldn't wait for a taxi, so walked there lor. What's so surprising, most importantly is reach the place fast. They already finished their food liao. Had their 招牌板麵 ($5) for lunch.

After which went to this gelato cafe nearby. Apparently it's touted as one of the best gelatos in SG. JM and Barry bought the cup one and GD bought the cone. Heard it was Raymond who brought them there the first time.

At first I thought there would be only one car carrying 5 pax. But luckily got 2, no need so squeezy. Phew~

Something not very pleasant happened to Joa and Barry. Ago can't use the 313 vouchers liao. who can I ask to go out with?! Should I go ask Angie next week, must be on Tuesday or Wednesday liao. Most probably Wednesday le shuo. Sag!

HL was at Arcade changing money. From $375 to $370 to $400 mcs, the exorbitant lifestyle the couple planned I beh tahan leh. Massage for 4 hours?! 完全沒有出過的興奮心情的說,被工作弄到很累了……



2014-11-26 Wednesday
Today office no air-con. A bit stuffy lo. Then suddenly got task from big boss. Have to do the summary report for him lo. Joa can't wait for Barry so we both first went opposite kopitiam. After that Joa said maybe should buy back to pantry. By then Barry would be back le and we can have lunch together. Dabao 豬肉粥 ($3.70) as lunch back. Joa had 皮蛋雞絲粥 and she bought some 五香 to share. Thanks Joa. Also helped Barry to 打包鴨飯. Barry told me the stuff I accidentally left at meeting venue cannot be found. How can?

After that continued to do my stuff. Towards the evening, it emerged into just one issue where we three sat down and discuss together. Aigoo, at last Barry threw me some homework to do. aigoo...

Left office about 7.30 pm. Went to Chinatown with Joa, Barry and WK. Me and Barry took CTE down while WK and Joa took the Boon Keng way. Xyy the moment we reached the elevated car park, already can spot a car exiting. No need to wait for so long! They reached much later than us lol.

Didn't know there are more than one stall selling claypot chicken rice. But me and Barry don't know which was the one and we roamed around the hawker centre looking for the most possible candidate. Then I spotted Joa and WK at blue area and asked Barry to tell Joa over the phoen to walk slower because we spotted them and wanted to catch up with them.

So dinner at 聯合本記堡飯 (#02-199). Joa ordered two $15 瓦煲雞飯 and she said she paid for this dinner. In the other hand, Barry paid for the drinks - I had sugarcane drink. 4 for $4.80 ds. So thanks Joa and Barry!!

去泰國之前
還能吃到蠻豐盛的一餐
讚讚讚!

We 4 ate one and left the other for JY and SG. Lol... Heard from Joa that they 非常能吃 baituo. It wasn't until we finished our big claypot rice then JY and SG reached. Aigoo, 看來他們還真的蠻會吃的!

Talked about work and also for JY and SG to update mainly about what's happening to MM bxds...

Can't leave too late as I need to pack and prepare for flight the next day! 超級興奮的!Wq xyy ds!
