Granny's B-Day

-





These are the photos taken from my Grandma's birthday last nite. It was her 82nd birthday bash. It was at the same place for the past year. The Concourse, Teochew Garden. Fortunately, I was not questioned about my disappearance from the gathering last year, since I sat a table apart from the big aunt. My family was the last one to arrive as my dad had to go and get hold of his cab, and he came back to pick us up. My relatives were pretty angry that we were late. But I think my relatives were not that understanding, so I can't be bothered anyway.

Dad decided to take my suggestion and parked his cab at my office building carpark as the parking was so much cheaper. We walked to the resturant. and tried to locate our relatives. Dad was quite pissed that the waiteress just turned away when he asked where my relatives were. He was so angry that he didn't notice that I was right behind him when he stepped back. I just fell. This was just the first incident of bad service. More were to come later. My dad was seething with anger as he was settling down his seat

Took the seat beside my grandma on the second table, and started to ask her about her recent health. I think she was happy to see me, since it had been a while that he saw me. To me, the gathering was not a thing at all, as I didn't enjoy it at all, not with these nosey people around.

The service of the waiteress started to get worse as the 10 course dinner progressed. She did not change my plate after serving us the veggie. We had chicken before that, so u could imagine how my plate were to look like, after eating the chicken. It was filled with chicken bones and the sauce of the dish. The waitress seemed oblivious to that. In the end, my 4th aunt had to help herself to the clean plates located at the near side of our table. We had to top up our own drinks too.

I must say that the food was of ok standard, but the service really sux. If I was the one to select the resturant, I would have choosen the one at my office building, Keypoint instead, where I think the service should be better.

No lucky was all right. Jolene's dad was the one who suggested the resturant. Guess the manager is one of his business contacts.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
