Class gathering at Foster

Yet another good drink mustered by the class last sat!!

Here is the front part :

Kind of lucky, cos when I first came to Foster's at Holland V, I was really trying my luck that I will be able to reserve a table of 15 just for drinking. I always had the habit of checking out the place personally to make sure that everything is all right, the drinks are okie, the crowd is not too bad, the service is good, etc...

Came up to the waiter and he called my name instantly"Hi, are you Mr Chong?"...waah! I was thinking - he must be damn good to know the customer name....It turned out that he was a former student of Min and he had met up with mi previously! Min was around also, and hence with a little bit of pull string, I managed to secure a table of 15 just for drinking on sat...good stuff!

Here is the middle:

Very good turnout from my NUS class! It was definitely nice to have the "give the Tiger the man" aka yong yuan to be back with us in the contigent. Gone are the days that he will fall under the influence of 2 bottles of beer...He was drinking a total of 7 bottles of beer in total + half flaming... He mentioned that he felt back missing out all our weddings while he was at work back at Liverpool....

It was nice catching up with Efung too as he made this tremendous effort to squeeze time for this gathering. He was back for 3 weeks and managed to secure a photo session with MM Lee.

When I am typing the journal, he was alreadi on his way back to New York (Round 2) on flight UA804 (Singapore - Narita - Washington DC - NY) He should still be up in the air....

Here is the end:

Yes, 55 bottles of beer spanned, lots of fun, not drunk, just chilled, lots of catching up,

Service by Foster was good and prompt, servers were smily and nice, manager Johnny was personal to the touch and 1+1 beer all nite long is too good to be true. Apple pie as dessert was nice and good music(alt between rock pop to live guitarist)to chill..

All in all, I am very happy with Foster...Good stuff!

Busy busy busy....

I knoe this is the usual mi going hot and cold at times when it comes to writing journals...Should be writing more..

Came back from the mountains after the previous entry on stress...just want to learn the art of steady and here I am, came back from the top of the mountain doing secret training on how not to be stressed....

Ahh....disregard the above mentioned...

Okie, had been busy for the past three weeks actually....fly from wed to sat, rest for two days, again away from wed to sat, then off again on monday to tuesday....Johannasburg, Karachi, Lahore(tried to find some terrorist there but to no avail) and finally Amsterdam!....Amsterdam is the most interesting place of the three that I had been too, so I might cover that in the next entry....

Things covered so far...
1. Managed to convince Ah Frey to buy something unbelievible and he was telling mi the next day that the more that he looked at it, the more he learns to like it...Now i realise the value in branding.......

2. Watched 300 before it goes down from the movie theatre....read some of the blog reviews abt it and finally after three arrangement, I managed to watch it together with Min, Ah Frey and Dave...totally awesome to watch it on the big screen!! Spartans, are you ready to fight, as if the next moment you are going to die?

3. Fu han wedding
Yes, attended yet another wedding of a good friend of mine....came back from Lahore in the morning, caught some sleep and off I go to catch up with some sharks fin and abalone....Felt very happy for him and Shirleen to tie the knot together...the next one, Asher Lum wedding on 070707....Cool!

P.S. Btw, we had a good drink with him, and even his dad came in to intervene and drink with us...He totally gains my respect instanteneously...
