Watching the wipers sweeping left and right as the rain drops falling lightly on the windscreen. Pitter patter pitter patter. When was the last time since i watched the rain falling from the overcast sky onto the solid glass panes? a familiar stoning activity. The time jus seems to come to a standstill. For that short stay in the vehicle. The backdrop is a nice new building. Usual admiration for nice architecture , otherwise would have probably find certain countries less interesting. It is the rainy season again.
Wedding dinners. Catching ups are always refreshing. Descriptions of one another's encounters and happenings. Relating events which u probably wont reminiscise with the usual grp u hang out with, at least not so frequently probably. of cos i cant eliminate the fact of some's preference over repeating multiple times for different grps of audience.
Mbs' really the ambience is at the convention centre and not the hotel. So each hall was taking an event each. Gd business. Swissotel fairmont really blew it. ill preparation. My fren lost patience totally. A few of us were jus self servicing and really give the poor servers a break. The manager is to blame. They dont seem to be exactly understaffed. Jus dunno their own roles. Fun observing them. How can serve dishes without the common fork and spoon and worse the soup without spoons for all the guests? And another dish without issuing plates. Then another stacking the new plates onto the used plates with leftover crumbs from the previous dish. The bride is a perfectionist, really if she gets to know, they are so gg to get an earful. Gd luck to them. Haha knowing her, surprised that the groom mentioned her traits in his speech openly! Tolerance and being adaptable are really his strengths. Not sarcasm. Jus reality. It has been so many years anyway.
Another fren was mentioning abt accepting wedding invitations the other day. Strange, really nv occur to me before. Despite the pref of not attending any of such, i'll still turn up if im available. Got to miss it if im overseas. Then another discussion on who to invite when u r the host. I was quite surprised at how the pple r chosen. Gosh. Matter of fact probably but still relatively harsh. as in handling such events so pragmatically. Urgh. Somehow, lack of humanity and sincerity. Really will not go thru all these. Somemore got to act social butterflies for that day, wearing frozen smiles. So might as well spare the guests who do not prefer attending such events anyway. I shall treasure the choice and freedom that i have as i know some couples are jus fulfilling parents' wishes of holding a banquet. Wat weird wishes tho.
Another corporate cluster event. Not bad a place really. Finally got to see it after hearing stories at sembawang airbase which is nearby. Morning activity, they actually got an app with more than 100 questions. With tasks ard the country club and google really remain the best pal. M1 network is also significantly faster than the rest, probably with fewer subscribers. Afternoon project runway. Agree that thru this, we saw how creative pple can be. Beyond expectations. U come to realise how much the teams can actually achieve. Some scripts are really superbly entertaining. Hilarious. And we took the lunch away from the crowd, watching the rain forming ripples in the swimming pool. We all got different coloured wristbands and when we show the photo, how gay can janet be? She can guess whose hands are those all correctly! 100%. Unbelievable. Seriously, who observes pple's hands?!
Nice restaurant with a nice name. Yes 2D1N. Has raised many eyebrows. Those first time hearing it was like huh? Staying over at sembawang? Really it was jus dinner after the event. Nice food. Korean kimchi, rice cake and the sweet tasting rice drink were yummy. But feel trapped and overdose of bbq smoke after 2 hrs. Choking. Overpowering. Smells like bbq from head to toes. Still want to hang ard? I really jus want to jump into a pool of foam. And as always, the best time of bbq buffet, make it seem like we are not wasting food. Missed those sec sch thrills. No potted plants this time tho. Am
surprised none at the table did that before! Mus be something wrong with my sch and my bro's sch. How well we relate those times. I think the restaurants are more relaxed on those rules after our era. Who wants to do the cleaning up later? Will really be amazed if no teens do that anymore. Then we were really rather incorrigible. Shucks. Now is mild and we shld.
