All in a Day's Work

Had a Teppenyaki-Steamboat Buffet Lunch at Yuki n Yaki, Orchard Cineleisure.

For obvious reasons, a hyperlink is not added; There was a miscommunication between the manager and us during the intial order, resulting in us not knowing that we were not entitled to the ice cream buffet, one of their waiters preparing the ice-cream buffet setup for one group, THEN going on to check the order slip and insist that we pay up for the ice-cream buffet. There was a spoken agreement with the manager initially that we were entitled to the ice-cream buffet, since we were a fairly large group.

It saddens me that a manager has to go back on her words. The way the manager handled the incident was also unsatisfactory; she told us that if we were to carry on with the ice-cream buffet, due to the miscommunication, she would have to bear the additional costs. But the way she upheld her professionalism was highly defensive and insistent on all wrong doing. But I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, and merely impose the lesser penalty of a boycott on all K Box-Suki Group outlets indefinitely. Tsk, not a pleasant experience.

Played DOTA with Dr Lim, Sgt Melvin and Jinsheng after lunch, near the shop Guohan is working in. First time actually playing it, and it was quite a smooth game. A good charater to use is one with both ranged attack and a chain lightning spell or a similarly powerful spell.

Dinner at Marina South Steamboat buffet with the V Gang. At twelve bucks (later bargained down to ten, the two bucks went to drinks), it was a much better bargain than the one at Yuki n Yaki.. Rui Yi, Jin Yu and May tried to make mussel and bean sprout omelettes, which were a little too salty initially.

After dinner, we proceeded to a 'Secret Garden', past a frog-infested swamp. The walk was tedious, and we might have, in the course of navigating the desolated and unlit pathway, ruined the 'special moment' for one or two couples who were not expecting company as they strolled in the park.
