Yesterday met up with the gang (RM, SM, SY, ZL, XY) at about 6.15pm at City Hall. Haha and to follow up with my tradition I was late AGAIN. For about 15 minutes? And Shing Yeen wasn't there yet! LOL that burger was late for 30 MINUTES! Since it's our rare reunion, she's forgiven. =p

Wah and we talked and talked and talked...AND TALKED AND TALKED during the walk through City Link. And as quoted by one of the gang "Human traffic was very high", so I think we didn't really talk, more like shouting to one another, lol so there can be like a three-way conversation going around at one time. Well, if you can't picture us shouting at one another, hmmm try picturing those sellers and ah mahs in a wet market at 8am. Wah we walked till the Adidas shop in City Link, and I was panting a little already! Woots~ But talking...I mean shouting to one another was so darned SHIOK, especially after not meeting up for many, many months. It feels so good to be with the gang again. : )

And somehow we ended up in Marina Square, now, we gotta make the BIG decision, the MOST IMPORTANT decision of the ENTIRE night. Where're we gonna eat!?! Well, we stood in front of a I-forgot-what's-the-name-of-the-restaurant, but it was a western restaurant, and their desserts are like $9.90 to $19.90, and SY pointed out the 'Barbarians' Meal' to me, which I figured she prolly wants me to RECOMMEND it to RM (the vulture, ability to wipe out an entire table of food within a nano-second). Haha but 'Barbarians Meal', the I-forgot-what's-the-name-of-the-restaurant is so freaking creative! I guess it feeds 6 adult males? Or an entire table of ladies? Hah, beats me!

So, we finaly decided we didn't want to have Western food, so SY suggested Seoul Garden, and off we went! After walking around the entire level, still NO seoul Garden! After 2 round-trips and earnest study of the directory map, we finally got our butts into Seoul...Garden!!! Haha speaking of Seoul, Sm kept ranting off Korean words the entire night! There's bola (I forgot the meaning), there's pabuya (stupid fool)...and a whole lot of not-so-nice words...haha but we applaud her for her very good rendition of the classic scene in ANY KDrama, "Oba kajima" (means 'Please don't go' to a lover).

Yeah we each paid $27 for the meal! $27!!! Expensive but well worth it, since it's a rare reunion! Haha the gang went to grab plates of chicken meat to BBQ, I went for the spaghetti, baked potato and sushi first, so I can feast while I wait for the chicken to be nicely BBQ-ed. Haha I just realised we ate only chicken and sotong! But they were so yummylicious!!! Egad! I'm salivating on my keyboard. Xinyi is a VERY, VERY GOOD MASTER CHEF! She handles the chicken so perfectly! Wah! And the 'ginseng' soup was so good! Ooh la la we make a whole lot of noise in there, but it was so many plates of fun! And SY even told us a story of the manager vs GF-cum-Employee at Cathay, so jin bao! Haha ZL's condition improved! She's no longer man yi pai (slow)! Haha XY was taking buns, buns AND MORE buns, lol she's our master chef and a bun-specialist. Wah and next time we must wear a face mask and gloves to Seoul! Cuz for some unknown reason, only our table's BBQ plate keeps 'exploding' so without any warning, it'll go 'POP!', so exciting right? Go try yourself! Pity though, there was no peppermint ice-cream or chocolate ice-cream left! : ( >>>> : ) Before we left, we took pictures! Haha the Seoul at Marina Square has good ambience and lighting, go try it!

Finally, we left Seoul with our bellies filled (half-filled for some of us) and very much watered, so off we go to hunt for ideal spots for an intense photo-taking session. Wee, out criteria for ideal spots are: *Low human traffic *Good lighting, preferably orange lighting *Must have stairs *Musn't be too warm, preferably with air-con or breeze. And... *drum-rolls* our 1st phototaking spot is the stairs going out to Esplanade! LOL we monkeyed around, yes and we posed too, or rather tried to pose, and we tried all sorts of angle and styles. OMG! I can't wait to see them!!! Then XY gotta make a move first cus she's bringing back food for her folks. Haha and she's so pissed the whole night cus' Mr. Potato wants her to go to Comex (IT fair@ Expo).

So the rest of the gang stayed behind and did more monkeying around before we moved to the next stop. The next stop, Merlion Park. We walked on the overhead bridge and they were many people taking pictures too, the night breeze was so soothing! Woah at the Merlion Park there were even MORE people taking pictures! Wah the night view overlooking the CBD and fullerton, and the Esplanade is so breath-taking! *Click click click* A whole lot of pictures taken! Haha and we saw 'red-mole' a.k.a ZL's boyfriend. LOL SM's gonna get killed! And ZL went to join him and his friends, I think they're heading to the Padang, think there's some event goin on there cuz' there's loud, groovin music thumping the whole night.

So the rest of the gang proceed to look for Raffles Place MRT station. ALong the way we took lotsa pictures, at Clarke/Boat Quay (dunno which one) we took pics with the bridge, we took pics with the 'Sea Merchants' (brass statues) and the 'Bullock Cart' (brass statue), with the vintage lamp-post, with one of the fountains at Fullerton Hotel. Fullerton Hotel really is the icon of posh style and moolah man! Weet we were really touristy! Haha fun fun FUN!

YAY! We reached Raffles Place MRT station safe and sound! Haha and we took a total of 100+++ pics in like 3 hours? Minus the eating session! Haha we're certified cam whores! : )
Haha SM upload those pics ASAP! Haha applause to SM, our in-house photographer for the night! Wah it was a tiring but FUN night! SY and I kept yawning on our way home, we could have passed off as drug addicts! Haha finally reached home past midnight! Weee~ What a night!

And now, we'll be counting down to our annual outing at Sentosa on 16th Sept! Weee~ I'll not be bringing fruits this year, I'll share the load with SM and buy bottled drinks! Order list: Peach Tea, Green Tea, Mountain Dew, Apple Tea. To be updated!

: ) I'll start saving up for annual outing! Weee~
