Met up wif the guys @ Cineleisure today. Arrived early (which i shudnt haf..) @ 1245 ahead of the 1300hrs stipulated by Mr Leslie. But Mr Leslie was LATE.. for abt 30min.. So i kinda went shopping at centrepoint and the shops arnd first.. ZR came on time at least..:) Well the worst was that qf overslept! only after our persistent calling and wake-up sms did he finally wake up to join us aft our lunch @ subway.. Ate the Turkey Trio, 6inch.. Gone were the days that I could finish a Foot-long.. Losing appetite cos of something on my mind as well.. At least the meal didnt haf that great an impact on my wallet :) only set me back abt 7bucks..
Carried on to Partyworld Orchard.. Brings back memories of that
Oct Gathering.. Miss QX, Jon n e rest.. Too bad MK cudnt make it today cos of camp commitments.. Sang quite a bit of songs.. Realised tat perhaps I shud train my higher pitch voice abit more... sounds better than crooning wif the "puberty-broken" throat voice.. wells.. lets see how.. I have a feeling the next K session will be
lightyears.. wait its a calculation of distance not time.. a vry vry long time awy... Had loads of fun :)
Next was dinner at Ashton's Grill @ The Cathay. The queue was uber long and the wait for the food equally frustrating but i tell u.. the food is definitely worth every cent u paid for (not that it was alot of money).. Perhaps if time is really money then this meal would certainly be vry expensive.. but a decent western meal at this restaurant would only set u back 7bucks (or more, depending on your order). However, do note that they charge for plain water, little price to pay given that a meal here is quite value for money. We tried to take a grp photo at the lobby of The Cathay, but was shooed awy by the
lazy vigilant security guard...
QF, leslie and I then went on to swensens for dessert, yumz! Earthquake at swensens! Pics of the outing is available at
facebook.
Off to Changi airport with leslie aft that to send off the 2nd Grp leaving for Germany.. So fast.. the reality has set in.. Next will be us..... last 7 days in singapore before we leave..
On a side note: I feel that the new
and improved SBS single deck buses are not as good / comfortable as the old ones.. not just becos of a sentimental attachment (took alot of the old ones during my poly days), but also becos that they allow more ppl to sit and can efficiently carry more people (even though the walking space was narrower). The main probs that I faced as a commuter of this new vehicle are as follows:
1) The queue tend to bottleneck at the "stairs" area as many are unwilling to move up to the elevated step to allow more ppl to board.
2) lack of seats as more standing space is allocated. And the associated lack of "hand grips" for the more vertically challenged population. (hand grips are now restricted to
the limited pole grips and the "hanging grips" that some may find difficulty reaching for..)
3) aircon distribution problems. aisle seats tend to get too little air con, window seats get too much and the air flow near the aisle is kinda bad (i actually sweated on the bus)
4) lack of TV mobile units = no entertainment
5) Hard seats compared to the comfortable cushion seats of the old.
Just some rants.. dun take the comment to heart, ppl!
