Snow crabs, ginseng porridge, salmon sashimi,....etc etc. I really had an enjoyable time eating at Kuishinbo with kenny and karen. I would probably not enjoy as much if i were to really treat them this time as they had heavily subsidised it for me. Treat them next time ba.... Hahaha. Thanks alot mates for making the dinner possible:)
Oh yes, i finally got the last piece of my jigsaw - a brown bedsheet from Aussino to go with my purple quilt and pillow case i had bought a couple of days ago at Ikea. Yesterday's outing with hw was rather fruitful. Swimming, job interviewing, watching movie( Ong Bak 2, basically the story ending is crap) and catching up with one another all into one day! The possibility of treat my 3 khakis on Sat to GV Goldclass is now officially ruled out. Hw and i had checked at the vivo cinema that it cost 36 bucks per pax just to watch the movie and rest on the comfortable seat. We have to pay at least an additional 29 more bucks per pax to get a drink, a main course and dessert. Crazyyyyy!!!!!
But the best reward out of yesterday's trip is i bought the '三国演义' novel which i can take my time to read and appreciate. I think i took about 2 plus hours to just read 3 chapters yesterday! Haha!

Damn screwed up!
It's all about today's work man! Firstly a customer pointed to me the cold kailan dish from the menu afterwhich she said that she did not know the kailan is covered with blended ice. In the end it became my fault in not telling her it's a cold dish and we had to change a fried one for her. As if it was not bad enough, some time after another customer ordered a roti prata with curry dish and when she asked me whether the curry had chicken in it i said '有一点' . It was a rather ambiguous reply from me due to my uncertainty. I somehow regretted saying so as the customer flared up when she did not see any chicken in the curry. I was given a earful by my manager and rightly so for not asking around for help when uncertain. Now i am sure that prata curry has no chicken in it!
This incident aside, yesterday morning i went to Bukit Batok Driving Centre and cleared my final theory evaluation. Now i am ready for the final theory test which will be on 29th jan. I think i will need to put in more effort for the test man because i never really study much before the evaluation:P In the afternoon i met up with kok and al for a swimming session at kok uncle's house. The best part was that we managed to catch RED CLIFF 2!!!! SHIOK MAN!! The 2 hour plus movie at Lido was not a letdown in anyway only perhaps for the baby-ish voice of lin chiling. She sounded irritating at times but i was again impressed by the wits of 诸葛亮 and 周瑜. The exchange between them was intriguing at times especially their conversations. I really like Romance Of The Three Kingdoms and would hope to read the novel one day:)

Waiting for the right opportunity..
After working at Xin Wang cafe for close to a month, i think it was a wise and definitely a better decision to switch to part-time job. At least that was what my colleagues told me. 6 days work week with midnight shifts and no additional pay for a full-timer is a big no no. On top of that my supervisor just screwed up my Off which i requested to take this coming thursday and somehow became yesterday monday. Luckily i have not booked my theory practice yet as i prefer to see the confirmed schedule for the week before doing so. Mmm... now that i have gotten a taste to working in the F&B industry, a part of me tells me to find a better job while the current job will serve as a back-up.
Alright, that's for the job portion. Yesterday i managed to catch 赤壁 part 1 movie which i rented from Video-ezy. When i asked the person at the counter about the availability of the movie, i was like 'Woooo~' . The movie dvd i have been so eager to rent is finally in my hands! All the hype about the movie is not that exaggerating as i was fully impressed by the '八卦阵' 诸葛亮 devised and the battle scene for it too. That i think is the highlight of the movie man. I believe alot of effort is made to make the formation look that good on camera. How i wish the director had spent more time on the crafting of the individual characters like '关羽' and '张飞'. I just felt that they were a bit overlooked in this movie. But come to think of it, the movie already 2 hrs 15mins long will surely be stretched to 3 plus hours if the director did that. Now i can't wait for the part 2 of the movie to come out which is slated for a 22nd or 23rd January release.
Haha... i really can't wait...
