Ice-cream, Doughnuts & Andy's Farewell Dinner

Last Tuesday, i received via email this voucher for a Swensen's promotion. With the voucher, one can enjoy a 1-for-1 ice-cream sundae. My first reaction was to wonder if this has anything to do with the whole China milk episode. Probably Swensen's was seeing a decline in their ice-cream sales and so the promotion. Then i slapped myself (not literally) and realized i should stop being so paranoid like the rest of the world and do the whole freaking out thing.

So i forwarded the voucher to my colleagues and asked to out for the ice-cream promotion in the late afternoon. In the end, only 4 of us went. Win, Kel, me and Andy. We walked over to the Swensen's at Vivocity, then realized the do not honor the voucher because the outlet at Vivocity was "Earle Swensen's", which is apparently not the same as Swensen's. Anyway, i thought the whole thing was silly, because to me they all belong to the same management so why can't they just honor the voucher?!

We ended up having Ben & Jerry's ice-cream next door instead. But it was only Kel and me sharing 3 scoops. Win and Andy decided (rather abruptly) that they preferred to have doughnuts instead when we walked past a doughnut store on the way to Ben & Jerry's. Kel and I ordered Chocolate Fudge Brownie and New York Super Fudge, and got a scoop of Jamaican Madness Sorbert on the house.



Later in the evening, we headed to Wala Wala @ Holland Village for Andy's farewell. It was kinda like his last week of work before he goes to Bangkok for 18 months, so the usual gang decided to do a small farewell dinner for him. There was plenty of booze (for toasting) and finger food.. We had pizzas, chicken wings, fries and lasagna.. oh, not forgetting all the people watching plus girl-oogling! = ) The live band was on, and they played a few pretty good songs. Overall, it was a nice evening. 'cept that i dropped my handphone on the way back to the carpark, and now there are scratches on my otherwise gorgeous looking OMNIA!! = (
Everyone left Wala Wala around 10 plus, and Andy dropped me off at Plaza Singapura where his wife had shopped at. Initially, i had wanted to hitch a ride from him, but thought it would be pretty awkward with me and his wife both in the car. I wasn't really in the mood for idle chit chat either, so in the end, i decided to ask K to come and pick me from Plaza Sing instead..
