All in a Days Work

Hopped down to the Singapore Expo for lunch with mum and dad, where we tried out yummy food at the Food Festival, such as the Japanese skewered meat and sushi, Singapore's famous Chilli Crab, Hong Kong Ee Fu Noodles and the Thai waterchest nut dessert.

After the hearty meal, I went on to meet my Asoc Campmates at Marche for Dinner. As facilitator Ron was not feeling well then, Weiming coordinated the meet up instead. And I had the honour of being splashed with water courtesy of their infamously pathetic counter staff (Luckily it was just a small splash. What made me MAD was that he did not apologize for having splashed water on me). Had it been one of my less patient days, I would have dragged him and marched up to the General Manager to complain. As it was, I had the Teriyaki Fish and Wedges, which was probably one of their cheaper Main Courses (Snapple for four bucks, so you go figure). And they've added a new clause which requires a minimum of ten dollars spent per card (cumulative with other cards)

After the initial formalities, we trooped over to the Cineleisure Food Court where I grabbed a 'Cool Blue; (really just Longan with some blue, sweet stuff). Actually, we were waiting for a place at Cafe Cartel, where Cheese cakes go for for 1/2 price (practically S$2.10) after 9pm. A steal! So we tried the Tiramisu, Chicago and Oreo cheesecakes, desparately trying to find space to slot them into our stomachs. :D

Met up with Victor at Starbucks Coffee, Suntec City, for a small introduction session. Despite some efforts at initiation along with Gabriel, he and his friend were quite reserved, but yup, what should be expected of an initial meet up anyway? Of course, we spoke a little about the political climate and current affairs issues such as the bombings in London and Egypt before they scooted off for another appointment.

Note to self: The Mocha, kettle chips and potato salad at Starbucks are pretty good, but it should come with a sticker that screams: NOT CHEAP!

Heh.

Anyway, after the little get together, I walked around City Link Mall for a couple of hours before meeting up with fellas from my SMU Orientation Group (Ed: It's Leadership and Team Building Camp! Whatever...) for dinner at Thai Express. I guess we were enticed by the 'Buffet', which ended up really being a 'Finish up our fine spread of 20 dishes before you may order as you like' Buffet, which is really sad, because most of the fellas were full even before we finished our preassigned twenty dishes.

After dinner, we crossed over to Marina Square to catch a Movie (At a discounted rate, 'cos Xin Yu's working at Golden Village) - The Island

After watching The Island, I realized that if one dwells upon the plot and storyline, one will notice that the film deals with many current issues (I will place the onus on you to find out which scenes were represented by their corresponding issues):

1. September 11 Terrorist Attacks
2. The ethical issues of Human Cloning
3. Man's quest for longevity, at any cost
4. The prevalence of Racial Discrimination in society
5. The violent consequences that may arise from the oppression of thought (Propaganda) in societies
6. The obsession with Designer babies and Production line babies (In Vitro, X-ray gender scans, cloning)

Lifted the ban on the K Box Group and accompanied my OG to K Box Karaoke.
