1 down 3 more to go !!
As usual busy with work, everyday earliest slept at 1am.
Wednesday
After work met up with Kai to take 61 to school. Finally the bus came but then the rear doors could not be closed, therefore unsafe for travelling so everyone had to alight. Die sure super late. Then i asked kai which MRT sttaions got ore buses to school. Then he recalled 74 at Dover. I then looked at the bus directory and only saw bus 196 plying to Dover Road.
We then took bus 196 not knowing where its route. Then soon the bus went up to AYE Tuas, i say this bus goanna terminate Jurong liaoz no need to attend class le. Soon we reached Dover road but no sight of the mrt station. Finally the bus terminated at Clementi interchange.
It was already 730 when we reached SIM. Along our way coincidentally met our ex-poly mates Daniel, Guo Jiu and Zi xian doing their project. Though we were late still went for dinner, most of the stalls are closed except for the noodle stall. By the time we reached class it was already 8pm++, another 15 mins break already.
Thursday
I was about to leave for classes already when everyone was complain that the office network was crawling. I checked the router and did not find anything suspicious. My colleague required my help and only left office 15mins later. Reached school and lesson was on C++. Today lesson is a killer I do not understand what the lecturer was talking about. The university system is so fantastic that they can cramp 4-5 chapters in a 3h lesson. Jimmy then called asking whether wanna meet Kiat Loon for supper on Friday, I agreed. Reached home already 11, had a short dinner and continued doing my assignment which was due on Friday noon.
Friday
It was around mid-day when Jiejie asked how about tonight? I say what thing tonight? She replied meeting our ex-colleague Ee for dinner. This week we were so busy that i clean forgotten. Everyone was able to make it, while I still remembered I had to meet Jimmy and KL for supper. I also then agreed. After work took train to Marina Square where we would be having our buffet dinner.
As usual Friday nights everywhere also long queue. We were told to be on waiting list for 1h. At the same time Marina Square was having a fashion. The female Caucasians models were very tall, even with out heels at min 1.8m
Soon its our turn for dinner. We had buffet dinner at Yuki Yaki. Attendees were Gopi, EE, Upul his gf, Raymond, his wife, Janice, her bf and I. Though there wasn't much variety the standard of the food was not bad. We had a total of 9 people so had to be separated into 2 tables. Two things good about this Yuki Yaki restaurant
1) We had both Tom Yum and Chicken soup base, when we asked for refill tom yum for tom yum chicken for chicken. Compared to those china steamboat at Beach road, any soup base they also top-up with chicken stock.
2) The soup, food and their marinates does not contain MSG. Why because after eating I don;t feel thirsty. Thumbs up for this restaurnat to have healthy buffet.
We left the place around 1030, but we are not the last. Another eye opener for many of my foreign colleagues to try different food especially seafood and wasabi. The total bill was ard $25/pax still acceptable.
After bidding them farewell at City Hall mrt, headed to Tanah Merah to meet Jimmy. Jim had his convocation today and was having dinner with his family at East Coast. There we drove to opposite Selegie to meetup with Kiat Loon, Xinhua, Yong Xin and Mei Yee to chill out. We went to one of the cafe, to drink. The area is separated into 3 regions. Outside is open air, inside tall tables and stool and at the rear a cosy place for people to chill and sing KTV. As the rear was full, we were seated in the middle. We started to play some cards and started to get bored. Interestingly there was an electronic dart system. The tip of the darts is made of plastic ad the board is like normal except it has an lcd display showing which player and the scores. Each game is 10 rounds. Yong Xin is very good at dart throwing, think after work come here and vent her anger on the dart LOL! Our last game I won hehe.
After that we left, and Jimmy sent me home.
Congratulations to Jimmy officially being a University Graduate, don't spend so much zhng your car LOL !

Heart-warming customer
This whole week practically tied at customer location, working very hard to bring up the service. Finally yesterday, we managed to bring bulk of the system working within 2 days and they are very excited to use the service.
Today went to office first and my colleague told me customer TW would like to invite us to have lunch together. I told Ray so touched and suprising. Practically TW had been a very nice lady to work with, been very understandng and accomadating. Due to this project we caused her to be the last to leave the office but she always smiling. I hope all customers can be like her to make work less formal and stressful, yet meeting the objectives!
We had lunch with TW, her colleague J from India and M from Canada who is handling all the IT issues in the branches office. The company is a Canadian company. M specially flown in from Canada to supervise the whole implementation and is very impressed with our work as we completed the job in 2 days as compared to the same implementation for their HQ in Canada which took 2 weeks.
For lunch they treated us having North Indian cruisine. For the serving I would say the lunch is expensive. $9.50 for a naan, some rice, fish masala/ tandoori chicken and veggies (ladyfingers and potatoes). Lunch was not too bad, the smell of herbs not too strong and was rather sian of eating the local fare everyday.
Tomorrow need to go back again, hope its fast.
