Full

Today is the most eventful day of my entire holiday. Finally, i think i used my time appropriately for the first time in the holiday.

Let's start from the beginning. Took father's car to Bishan as sis had to go school. As it was not convenient to send me to my destination straight, so he dropped me at the MRT station where i took the train to Somerset MRT. The train was super squeezy but after a few stops, there was more room to move into when more people got off. Then, i went to the toilet to change to my no.4 army uniform to bring 3 sec 1s to the PUB building for some energy conservation course. I was just an extra there so i went to the food court to sit and do homework while waiting for them to finish. Managed to finish my physics and 1 chinese essay.

After all the waiting, i changed out and took 190 opposite Phoenix Hotel back to school and crossed the road. After a few stops in Orchard, i realised Physics teacher Colin Lai was also on board. He alighted at SJI and walked at an outstanding speed. It was as if he flew. Anyway, i crossed the road and took 153 to Queensway. For what? For slayers captain lor. Went there just to get him birthday present. and i thought of a brilliant plan to save me trips to Queensway. I will get 2 birthday presents one for last year and one for this year. Aha! So Jer, you are one lucky fellow. Not gonna mention what i bought.

Was feeling damn tired after all the walking and the heavy load on my shoulder. So went home after taking 195 then MRT. Stopped at Simei to buy lunch for sis and mum. Ate one packet of chicken rice, one whole Burger King Mushroom Swiss Meal and one bowl of instant noodle! Haha. i was darn hungry at that time and was darn full after the 3 meals. it rocked! Then i went to bathe and then napped at about 3 plus. Wa i sound like a pig. Eat then sleep. But then my day isnt over, i was woke up by my father to realise i have dinner at Ritz Carlton Hotel! Hahaha. I m gonna gain weight.

Got changed and went to the hotel to meet the Director for Engineering there. His name is Mr Quek (dunno whether correct spelling) and was my father's student before. As he is leaving for China for work for about 3 to 4 years, he wanted to treat us to dinner for sorta farewell meal. The moment i step out of the lift in Ritz Carlton, i knew this wasnt an ordinary hotel. It was the first time i went to the hotel and had no clue what it looked like apart from what i see from Benjamin Sheares Bridge. It was really scary to see so many people wearing suits and formal gowns and i was just wearing jeans and shirt. Seemed totally out of place. Anyway, met Mr Quek and we went to the 'restaurant' (dunno whether it should be called a restaurant of cafe or something else) and was immediately greeted my a grand layout and beautiful music. Mr Quek was like a big shot in Ritz Carlton coz almost every employee there knew him and greeted him. Anyway, started to eat the buffet. The food there was simply delicious. Let me list out what stood out...
-lobster
-roast beef
-mushroom soup
-some prawns
-sashimi
-Service

the food was fresh and cooked to perfection. the service was outstanding. i dun remember anywhere else including at home where i received such respect and service. They call me Sir and were always smiling. I bet they were the top graduates at Shatec. There were more food that was nice but cant list out all. And the group of musicians which comprised of 1 pianist, 1 violinist, 1 celloist, 1 guitarist was outstanding. they provided soothing music for those eating and played all the way to 10 plus. The cost of the dinner i dun think i should say but it was paid by the rich man who we ate with. I was bloody full by 10pm after eating and eating, but i promise to run and exercise tomorrow to burn off the excess energy i gained from the food.

ok.. i think that should be all to blog. just wanna mention that i might change the music on my blog. maybe to something different. and also waiting patiently for Prison Break episode 20. Elian bluff me that PB in US is shown on Thurs but it is on Mons so i have to wait until Tue to get the next episode.. sry jer. ok gtg. really tired now after the long day...
