Friday 21st Sep

Well, it seemed that it's hard to not mention about food when you're surrounded by a group of people who just adore and appreciate food. Well, i'm glad to be part of the member.

On Friday, my colleague Elvina was suddenly in a very good mood on having a nice lunch. Probably it's a friday and she started to get relaxed. At 11+ am, she started msn me to ask me where we should go for lunch and even said she would like to eat something nice other than our regular places.

I told her we got to travel a bit for a nice food and she said she didn't mind as long as it's not too expensive. My regular lunch buddies went down to town (Orchard) for Kyushu fair and i decided not to join them. So i told Elvina, there is one western restaurant with affordable set lunch we could try out at Tanjung Pagar but i couldn't recall the name but it's always featured in 8Days. Not that i trusted 8Days review as usually it's inaccurate. However, i don't mind trying.

Unfortunately, none of us could recall the name nor finding the magazine, so 7 of us ended up at New Harbor which is also a western along the stretch of Tj Pagar (bridal salons). Well, it's affordable and the food portion was quite huge. The food was quite delicious and nice and also because we're hungry. The best is there is no GST and service charge ckckck....



Another highlight is one of the restaurant owner (i guess), said if one of us are Mediacorp artiste hehehe..... (then we we giggling we don't want to be recognized MCS artistes but HK actress ckckck....)

Aside to that, Elvina had even planned for the tea. Starhub happened to give each of us a chinese cup with fruit tea for the midautumn festival. So Elvina came up with having a tea with mooncake during our tea time.
By the time we finished our lunch, it's almost 2:30pm so she said let's postpone the tea ceremony to 5pm. She obliged us to join her hehehehe.......

Because some of us had to attend SMA (sg media awards) @ Ritz Carlton and all of us know the food are suck, so they said they might want to eat sth before they headed to the event.
Side track - The highlight of the event is we won the media agency of the year woohooo....... hurray......

At 5pm, Elvina started to take all the cups to wash and made tea. After that she started to offer all varieties of mooncakes hehehee.... Well i didn't eat the mooncake but i drank the tea which is not that fancy. The taste of the tea was even worst when it's cold. ckckck....

Elvina and Joey did mention that we should light up some lanterns next Wednesday. I think this idea is because we received numerous email said that HK & TW offices will be closed on Wed and Thu to celebrate the mid-autumn festival while we have to work here......

Well, it's just a nice relaxing friday.
