After doing the household chores, went out at about 11.30 am to meet Sharon, Jess and James at Strictly Pancakes (Prinsep Street branch) at 12.30 pm. Knowing I was going to be slightly late, I took bus 187 to Lakeside MRT instead of walking. Surprise 1: saw Sharon crossing the road outside Lakeside MRT, I guessed we could have bumped into each other. But she was waiting for Jess to train down to town together.
Surprise 2: I was first to reach (was late by 7 mins) lol. The girls reached a couple of minutes later and James was rather late. We three queued up for seats and chatted a bit. They were giggling over my pronounication of 'chipolata' when I was correct though first time seeing such word!
Surprise 3: Jess really like durian till nobody's business like that.
We were given the sofa seats. I sat onto the small little chair. Table wasn't helping too, a bit too low.AIGOOO... It wasn't really comfortable if I'm dining - stained my jeans with the chocolate while eating :( The pancakes were nice, just that the one with chicken chipolata was a bit plain and lost its shine when compared with the other 2 dishes we ordered. Of course it's the cheapest la.
The sausages and the onion and the rum & raisins butter were nice.
賣相普通，而且看起來吃不飽
其實那個肌肉香腸還不錯味道 ($9.50)
蔥看起來黑黑的，吃起來有一點像媽媽的蔥頭炒蛋
被薄煎饼包著的香腸也是很美味，有燒烤的香味 ($13)
很典型的巧克力甜點，真的很甜咧！ ($11)
很久沒跟這班人拍照了——四人合照
After lunch, we next a few doors down the row of shophouses to have some fun at Playnation. $12.50++ per person from 2-6 pm with free flow drinks sounds ok, cheaper than karaoke session haha. We had some games in Wii and some in Xbox. Gosh, the last time I played Wii was during K9 days. Time flies... Now the Wii comes in black colour also. I almost couldn't identify that black box was actually Wii. =X
The Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and Mario Kart Wii were the two games we played and I remembered playing back in K9 days. Definitely got some memories back. Certain minigames in the former game and whole of Mario Kart were exactly the same and I knew how to play, as such I came in first for the first round of competition of Raving Rabbids! :D
Subsequently we saw others standing up and shaking/moving their bodies in front of TV, obviously playing games. Sharon got attacted to it and wanted to play also. So after the abovementioned two games, we switched to the Xbox with Kinect. I remembered the last time I touched on a Xbox game was when I'm at Geraint house some years back (2008 or 2009 liao) le ba. Last year don't remember I played Xbox at his house.
The motions were all detected by this addon called Kinect. It features some optical instruments employing IR technology and a processor to calculate the distance and movements. Pretty interesting and personally I think it's much more engaging than Wii. The games we played on Xbox were Kinect Adventures and Just Dance: Greatest Hits. Personally I prefer the former than the latter because the latter requires me to learn the dance steps first before playing. The former was quite fun and engaging, but max 2 players at a time.
這個遊戲好玩，既可以消遣娛樂又能‘做運動’
又蹲又跳真是累
他們可是玩到不亦樂乎喔
Sharon's throats wasn't feeling well, so couldn't take spicy food. We already planned dinner at Jai Thai. So at the very last minute got to change to 新源記魚頭爐 at Bugis. Subsequently Pui Han and Yuan Sheng joined in. The fried chicken and the chilli were delicious!
這間出名的餐館還是第一次聽過
招牌就是它的魚頭爐了
很豐富呢！這鍋東西要$70
點了個青菜來搭配
As it wasn't that late, we went to Liang Seah Street to grab some desserts. Actually the main motive was to find a place to sit down and continue chatting. We had lots of topics, from finance till army licence plate number till work till marriage till HDB, it was a healthy chat. Shocked to know PH's BTO flat cost $500k! OMG, 我哪裡有錢供屋子啊？T.T
榴蓮雪花冰
As business was brisk at Liang Seah Street, we moved to another venue to continue chat - J.Co at Bugis Junction. This time round we mainly chat about Hua Yi and YS's experience in Japan. Forever so interesting to hear weird or funny incidents or facts from Japan. And about Hua Yi, we couldn't agree more that it's more and more difficult to organise such outings le - everybody is working or committments and no longer a carefree student le. E.g. YB was absent from this outing. But some things still bother me though, for example, why Jeannie unfriend me on FB? Well, I'm not saying die die must add me on FB but all along things were ok, then suddenly I got unfriend for no reason was a bit weird lor. What's even weirder is that not all 4-01 people kena unfriend. PH also kena same treatment.
Once again, time flies... Hwee Fen got married on this day. 十年之前，大家還是懵懵懂懂過著無憂無慮的學生日子。還記得以前她幾乎算是校花了，還傳過八卦緋聞呢！一眨眼，十年就這樣過去了，快到我有一點難以置信。大家現在25歲，不老也不年輕。如今我看到的是，有些已經有另一半、有些已經申請買租屋、有些已經註冊結婚了。這班人生快車開得真快啊！
PH said the engineering jobs now are more for mechanical engineering. I kinda agree with her. I went to online portal and try to see if there are suitable jobs and found that they want mechanical engineers rather than EEE engineers. Haiz, 可憐的我…… Beginning to lose momentum le. It's the employer's world than job seeker's world.
*很慶幸大家各得其所，說實話，看到身邊的朋友都有工作都會開心一下下的。好過我啦，我不知道到底問題出現在哪裡……也很慶幸大家都沒什麼變到——瘋的還是很瘋、八卦還是照樣八卦、容易害羞還是一樣容易害羞。如果一直延續下去到老，不是很好麼？我應該會引以為榮咯。往後的日子說不定相遇會更難了，看看這次就好，YB跟Huaian已經缺席了。以後會不會變成小貓兩三隻啊？不得而知。
