dimsum with the temps

Two days ago, a day after the exams ended, I met up with some temps previously from e2i. Those from the Events team, and Hospitality & Tourism vertical. i.e. May, Felicia, Yu Ping, and Leonard! I think it's our second meetup since we parted? The first was during Jerviel's birthday.

Flea booked a table for 5 at Zhou's Kitchen at Novena Square for us from 3.30pm :)

Fried mantous, some tofu, har kao, fried dumpling with pork floss and salad cream (FAVOURITE)

Just some of the food that we had! Which wasn't really that good, in my opinion. There wasn't enough variety. I'd still prefer Peach Garden any day!


Happy people :)

May's birthday was just around the corner, so I had planned to get a cake to surprise her. Leonard thought we should get just one slice though, since we were rather full from the buffet. We sneaked out "to the toilet" when we thought the time was right to buy the cake, which we got from Hans!

May and her raspberry chocolate cake!

Apparently, we took too long to hunt for the cake, and she had wanted to go to the restroom too. Poor Yu Ping had to restrain her and wait till we came back hahaha.

Well what I didn't know was that Flea's birthday wasn't very far from May's!! All of them went to the toilet after we left the restaurant and I waited outside for them. Then May came running out to tell me this. I was like, oh no oh no oh no... and we decided to get one quickly, this time from Prima Deli, and Leonard had to divert Flea's attention to a CD shop to delay her while we prepared it. It was quite epic. But we surprised her successfully anyway :)

Birthday girls!
 I still feel bad for forgetting about Flea's birthday!! Oh well.

And then we went back to Zhou's Kitchen to take a group photo since we hadn't done so before leaving. Yayay.

:)
Then we walked around the place for awhile, and one of the shops we entered was this Korean supermarket!

KOREAN BISCUITS!!
 There were much more than this! I was so wowed, like I walked into some museum. Was tempted to buy the seaweed too. But I bought 3 cups of cheese cup noodles instead :D I bought that at Jurong Point before, and I really really liked it, so I bought it there when I saw it!

Then Wayne came to meet us for awhile after his work. It was his last day at work, and his workplace was at Novena.

Congrats on ORDing!

We still whatsapp each other every now and then, mostly about random stuff. Wayne was a temp at e2i too,
from the same batch of temps. He looks quite funny here. 

Also worth mentioning was the Puma sale and Adidas sale. May saw a pair of shoes which she liked but didn't have her size, and Flea was in a dilemma over which Adidas bag to buy, which she didn't buy because the queue was too long. The crowd at the Adidas shop was really NO JOKE! We navigated the place with much difficulty thanks to the crowd there. I would've browsed the place more thoroughly if not for the suffocating crowd >:( Spotted some nice bags and shoes! But by not buying anything, I didn't have to spend anything, so that was fine by me too. 

Final photo in the train 

Then Flea had to go off, and the rest of us went to City Hall too look for May's shoes. Which we didn't find. :( The rest of the night was spent walking around and browsing shops like Muji, HMV, Royal Sporting House, Watson's, and Times, before calling a day and going separate ways.

I dropped by the coffee shop near Pioneer MRT to help get buns for Jason Han and Shoshi... and regretted not getting food for myself afterward cos' I was so hungry like 3 hours after I arrived back in hall. -.-

It was a day well-spent with the fellow temps, after not seeing them for so long. They were still very into Korean pop and bands, which I have zero interest in. Other than that, we did a lot of catching up - what we've been up to, what we want to do in the future, etc. I think we may be able to squeeze another meetup for dinner this summer holidays. :)

Top: Lace Element Spaghetti Top from Hollyhoque
Bottom: White demin shorts from Forever 21

Yes I wore the shorts out a day after I bought it :) It felt really short though, a bit uncomfortable and that made me self-conscious for the whole day :/ When I was leaving hall in the morning, there were 2 guys at the carpark below block 60 meddling with their bicycles. I was looking at them as I thought I'd know them, but it turned out that I didn't. Then they whistled at me while I walked off, and my back was facing them. Gosh that definitely felt weird. I think it was the shorts :( I shall try to avoid long tops with such short shorts in the future.
