556 JUMBO

dinner last night at jia wei in roxy hotel. the food was not bad. the service was good.

dinner tonight is even better. i never thought that there will be a car sent to pick me for dinner in Singapore. maybe it happens in china, but singapore? anyway, the driver took 5 minutes to drive me from my hostel to the restaurant, JUMBO, which is just beside the lagoon at ECP. please lah, it usually takes me like around 5 minutes to walk there as well. but who cares, they are rich and want to pay the car rent, i juz sit and enjoy lor.

food was ok, but not as good as last time. the service stinks. one waitress knock over a cup of tea and took like 5 minutes to come back to our table and clean it. and they dun even serve "yuan xiao" on yuan xiao jie (15th day of CNY, end of CNY) 

so i brought my juniors for a walk after the dinner to look for some "yuan xiao" and cook for ourselves. again, i was shocked by the number of prcs in singapore. the whole shelf in NTUC and coldstorage which holds yuan xiao is empty by the time we reach. life sucks when u cannot get traditional chinese food on chinese festivals.

but i guess don and the army boys are not having fun either. gotta learn to embrace life. tmr got to sub some chem teacher. i realize that usually im only given around 1 hour notice before my lesson. so i always go into the classroom or lab unprepared. haha. but i love impromptu.

good night.
