Was a rather quiet Monday morning doing duty as most of the fellas were on off-in-lieu.

We went for nights off on Tuesday. Got another copy of Martial Kingdoms just for the strategy guide at Jurong Point. The 1845 bus to Jurong was not crowded, which was a pleasant surprise. Got another two books at the library; An Aussie travel guide and one on Linux. Saw William from SR. Could not recall his name there and then. My apologies.

Shifted to our new premises on Tuesday as well. New Docu Room is more like a conference room. Hectic!

Had a mini medical pre-meeting meeting to hammer out the details of how the newly refurbished Medical Centre should be run. Came up with many pointers.

Joined Xuelun, Ivan, May May, Jin Yu and Rui Yi for steamboat buffet at Happy Pay (Tian Tian) Steamboat Buffet Restaurant to celebrate Xuelun's birthday. It wasn't cheap, considering the slow service and low-cost food: S$20.85 after Service charge of 10%, which was really not worth while. Note: It costs just S$14 (incl. Svc charge) if you arrive after 10.30 pm. We ended our meal at 11pm and went to the Padang for a night photoshoot. Weirdly enough, there was a man sleeping beside a lamp post opposite the Supreme Court. Where's the law and order? Took a cab back at 1.30am.

Went over to Yew Tuck's Mum's shop: D' Cafe just a stone throw from my place for breakfast. Had Century Egg Porridge with Latte while my dad had Wanton Noodles and Cappacchino. We also shared a blueberry waffle. The porridge was good and had a generous serving of Century eggs and meat, but the Char Siew in the Wanton Noodles was a tad too hard and chewy. Some minor observances: Waffle machine should be placed in the kitchen and drinks fridge should be shifted aside so as not to block the diners' way. In order to increase seating capacity, 2 rows of tables and benches should be used. Current seating capacity is only <15 with 4 round tables. With long benches and tables, after taking into consideration the repositioning of the fridges, it should be able to seat 24 or so pax.

Still playing Martial Kingdoms.

Awaiting old computers (CPUs and/or peripherals) which are about to be discarded. From Pentium 133Mhz onwards.

Returning to camp tonight.

Cheers.
