The Marina Heat

yesterday belonged to the class. what a blast.

three quarters of us went for steamboat at marina bay. we agreed to meet at 530 at the mrt station. i met ben toh and boon chong along the way and we reached there around 520. as usual, the whole station was empty around that time. we waited for the rest to arrive then went to the busstop.

while walking, there's this lady from a steamboat restaurant trying to 'cope' us to eat at her restaurant. they even offered free shuttle service to and fro the place with their OWN minivan! what a way to differentiate their product. and the way, moses, jeremy and ivan cracked a few hilarious jokes with the lady like:

(not 100% accurate though)
ivan: (australian accent) errmm.. we are not going for dinner actually.. errmm.. yea..

lady: aiya wei shen mo jiang ying wen! wo bu hui ting la! gen wo jiang hua yu la! (which means aiya why speak english! i don't know how to hear! talk to me in mandarin la!)

ivan: i.. i'm from australia! i don't understand what you're saying. huh? (we burst out laughing)

lady: (gives up and walks to another group of people)


hilarious moment. then we went for dinner! dinner was okay.. we chionged meat, as usual. meat, meat and more meat. the twist was victor actually 'deep-fried' them in a pool of melted butter. i think it tasted great 'cos the guys were commenting on how sweet it was. well then, after that we went to play pool at the pool parlor nearby (i cldn't believe after so many trainings there i still dint know there was a pool parlor). pool was damn fun, with the same three quarters of the class playing altogether, cheering when the balls went into the holes and groaning and moaning when it missed the hole angonisingly. as a gauge as to how fun it was, we overshot our plan to play for an hour and played for 2 hours instead even though the rate was 8+ an hr!

we finally stopped when we all realised that if we played any longer we'll have no money to go home. but then our plan was to play lan after pool. so who cares the time, we went lan all the same (it was 1020 when we reached the lan place). and that was a blast too.

best of all, the night was completed perfectly when i managed to catch the last train home - i boarded the last train a few seconds before it left. what a night.
