On Tuesday, i had 2 big feasts.. one for lunch and one for dinner...
Lunch was a farewell event organized by my colleagues.. We had about 13 people and i had requested for Tong Lok. I had asked for the same menu that i liked so much during my Chinese New Year lunch earlier this year with some of my colleagues.. but it turned out that not all the dishes were the same.. that was quite a disappointment.
I did enjoy most of the dishes though, especially the dessert - coconut juice with mango ice cream and pomelo bits.. delicious!! We also had a surprise drink that was served in test tubes.. not sure exactly what i was drinking, tasted a bit like pineapples but the drink was green in color.. But it was really nice!!
For dinner, i went to Jumbo seafood at Riverwalk. This was an appreciation dinner for the regional sports meet where Singapore swept away the champion trophy and gold medals for 3 out of the 4 sports we competed in..
There was plenty of dishes.. but quality so so only.. There were the usual speeches of thanks, some videos of the stage performance we put up, and then presentation of souvenirs for each of us. The souvenirs was a really pretty acrylic photo frame with a photo of the team on stage with all our medals and trophies. It's now sitting in my living room TV console.. = )
I was actually the first to leave after dinner.. quite boring cause the people at my table didn't talk much.. only a few dominated the conversations, and they kept talking in Cantonese and private jokes i didn't understand. So i end up watching TV instead...
Before i left, my team captain asked me to train hard for the next games, so i told him i won't be around. He got a bit concerned about where they are going to find enough female players to represent Singapore.. Too bad!! = )
