Long Weekend

The beginning of another long weekend! Goody....so there is till next Tuesday where I have to plan of things to do. Many people would probably be doing their visitations during this time, guess I am over that phase :op

Parents will be going overseas, so got free time and space to havoc lo! Mabbe it is time to wear those shirts that I have been buying for the longest time and just staying in the cupboards. New Year, New Clothes? Lame reason to wear stuff really...

Mahjong tonight!!! Have not played that for some time, so I guess it is a good time to start again. Hand itchy lah. Quite fun game, especially with this usual gang. Super funny lor.....except the 2nd hand smoke!

Have a feeling that I am going to be a full time Mapler these few days...
Mushrooms beware!! PrawnSoup is on the loose............

Farewell

Had farewell lunch with my friend / colleague / mentor yesterday. The whole department went to a nice restaurant somewhere in Joo Chiat. The price is really cheap for good food. Though most of it had so much curry, I kind of avoided. BUT there was still enough nice food. It was about $15 per person and there was about 15 dishes excluding desserts!

Then there was the usual farewell speech. I guess the department has kind of grown used to having him around. He will soar to higher heights (literally). Maybe one day he will come back as my boss, if I am still in the company. Hehehe...

Well, all the best William!

Ball or Bar?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Headed to Bugis MRT after work today and met up with some friends to go Sim Lim for some purchases. Was there to get something for two colleagues while my friend was on a special mission.......The search for a mouse with ball(s).....

That's right...in an era where optical mice (using infrared technology) rule, he wants to look for the authentic mouse with ball.............claims that is the best for gaming so far........am surprised that it is really more difficult to find that these days.......

Then again.....can you find someone who is still playing Western Bar? I tried to search for it and only came across an auctioned piece in Yahoo e-Bay going at USD35! I hope they start to re-market that game......coz I would really wanna buy it..........hehehe........

The familiar sounds of Western Bar deeply implanted in my head.....

dor deh duh dor deh duh
*sound of items sliding across bar counter*

TERK! *sound of apple hitting head!*

doink chik doink chik
*animation of character losing one 'life'*

tur tur duh tur ter der tur, the tur ter duh tur
*sound sequence for game start again*

dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang, (pitch going lower)

dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang, dang dang dang dang (pitch going higher)

THE ONE ON ONE fight in Western Bar!!!! Woohoo!!!!

(whoever reads the above might probably be thinking of the game and it does not really matter if I capture the spelling of the sounds correctly.....I'm sure there was that momentary transport back in time and memory)

Hmmm.....I am stuck in history for a moment...........

Neglected Blog

Neglected blog for a while because just busy with work, sorting out some stuff, health check and basically slipped off my mind! Anyway, I guess I will be coming back to this for a while as I have been thinking some things and memory is getting poor to remember them. Ha!

Just came back from a nice dinner with Alpha and Ah Gal. Practically finding a place to eat Japanese food and ended up at Sushi Tei behind Takashimaya. Not the BEST of places, but not too bad. Ichiban Boshi was just too packed at Wisma. Anyhow, it is the company that counts :)

Not very sure what the cashier was trying to prove, but I am still wondering the whole point that he was trying to communicate to me.

*handing over bill to cashier for calculation of amount to pay*

Prawnkid:

Is there any promotion with any credit cards? (You never know till you try.)

Cashier:

Oh, we had the promotion with UOB and also Sushi Tei members with special meal sets and discount.

*About to take out UOB credit card from wallet*

Prawnkid:

Ah okie. So it's a 10% discount with UOB credit card?

Cashier:

Sorry, the promotion is already over.

Prawnkid:

Huh???

(What the heck was the whole conversation about then?)
