guess i'll have to work on monday...

Well, day-dream is over and now back to reality. I aint no millionaire, haha! Only managed 2 numbers.. so no prize there. Anyway.. it was worth the try.

Yesterday, was company's dinner event (finally!) at No Signboard, the Stadium branch. I only ate at the Geylang branch before and the food was not bad but quite expensive (well, what do you expect? It's seafood after all!). So at around 5.45pm, we trudged out of office and hopped into Chet's car towards foood... yum yum...

Actually, based on past experience, we dared not expect too much. Previous dinners were held at Marina South and coffeeshop in Commenwealth (to eat fish head noodle)... so.. just no expectation at all. At around 6.30pm, after Boss gave his speech.. I felt giddy. Heh.. prob not from the speech but from staring too long at the moving waters that surrounds the restaurant. Does this mean that I'll likely to get seasick if I take a boat ride? Hmmm...

So the food came and of course, we had 'yee sang' as starters. Next came the appetisers that consist of 4-5 items. Next we had lobster salad, followed by sharkfin soup, oat prawns, steamed fish (small one), chicken dish (very small one), fried squid(?!! not auspicious to serve fried squid during company dinner bah,right?! ), fried kangkong and lastly fried rice. Then lastly, we had almond longan as desserts. So this is likely to be the most expensive and grand company dinner that we ever had in our 5 years in the company.

The food there is not bad but I felt not up to No Signboard Geylang's standard. I think Geylang is the original outlet. Anyhow, there were a lot of customers! ALOT! Because after our dinner, I can still see the long queue outside as the entire restaurant was fully packed! Hmm.. very likely their business will continue to be brisk as these are the last few days of CNY celebrations.. so people are actually having 'yee sang' fervently? Hehe, maybe.

Oooh.. after that when we were queueing for cab at City Hall... we managed to catch the fireworks! Wahh... nice! But the queue for cab there is horrible as we waited for like half hour before getting one.

Anyhow, as weekend is here, I'd like to wish you a good rest and a nice weekend!
