good food, good old classmates

i had a great lunch today. not that i didn't have to pay a cent (had to fork out $28) but the food was quite tasty, despite given the fact that it was halal and thus the shark's fin soup was not exactly fin-ish... i'd enjoyed it nevertheless. i was having this lunch of mine at this restaurant called MaSinThai down in Eunos area along Upper Changi Road. no prizes for guessing what countries their name is made up of. it was practically an 8-course meal which was certainly enjoyable. we'd even bought our own yu sheng. they said they were out of stock initially, but by the time they squeezed one out for us our guy had already bought one. i think this is better off because seriously, their yu sheng had carrot shreds that were really thick! i'd say it's comparable to eating grass >_> and to top it off, the reason we paid (less) was that our "towkay" (read: assistant manager who is in charge of our IS dept because the company is being stingy/unable to find a replacement IT manager) had picked up a majority of the tab. yippee to us!

i'd also met up with some old classmates from my secondary school after work today. this fella i knew is living in Bukit Batok and i drove allllllll the way there. i certainly gave him face for travelling so far. >_> the people were still friendly. i just hope i wasn't too... erh... cold or something. and it's nice to meet up with some of them (well not everyone showed up/were contactable) after... i think it's been 6 years or so since the last gathering i'd attended. i'd heard that 2 girls in my class were married already! and one is already in her second trimester with her first child! goodness time flies... seriously. nowadays, it's getting hard not to start admitting that i'm getting old. i know there're tons of people who are waaaay older than i am... but if you look back and see that my secondary school days were so far away, you ought to admit that i've come a long way since then. besides, i'm closing to a year in my first job.

*i swear i won't...*
