This is kind of a cultural week to me...
4 Nov - Flight to SG was delayed again by 20 min.
5 Nov - Went to client's office for the first time. Beautiful! Had meeting with my big big boss for the first time. I never imagine someone his rank would know the details of the project that well. Food: yong tau fu for lunch and vietnamese food for dinner
6 Nov - Did some work and surf for info... Food: Thai pineapple fried rice for lunch and Ya Kun Kaya Toast for dinner
7 Nov - Another long long meeting... Food: Japanese set lunch bought by my boss (though he himself didn't manage to eat any since he had to handle something urgent on the phone) and fish noodle for dinner. Then went to buy a SIM card for SG. TV was switched on, and Beautiful Mind was on at 12:30 (after I shower). So I continue to watch till 2:30 - wanted to watch this for a long long time...
8 Nov - Holiday! Started my day by taking bus no. 64 to Little India. The whole street is full of Indians. Tried to make my way into the Indian temple, only to find that those going in and out are all males, exccept for one lady who was on her way out. So I moved away from there, and went to Mustafa Centre. Interesting place which looks like Mydin.
Took MRT to Orchard at 12pm. Met my schoolmate for lunch at din Tai Fung, Wisma Atria. We hopped to Taka (where I took photos of the teddies on display - cute!), and then to Borders at Wheelock.
At 3+, bought EZLink card and took MRT to Raffles Place and went to Asian Civilization Museum. Free entrance on public holiday! They had an exhibition on Nalanda Trail - what the monks would see and objects of meditation on the Silk Road, from China to India, when they went there to study Buddhism.
Then I took MRT back to Orchard, bought yakitori (or toriyaki, I'm not such a big Japanese food fan) from Taka, and headed to the nearest bus station to take bus 123 back to my hotel. What I didn't know is that, the buses have their own designated stops. So, I saw 123 before I cross the street. When I had crossed the street and looked at the listing of buses, it felt funny, 123 was not listed, yet, it was listed on the route. The guy I asked said he does not take 123, so he's not sure. But by right if you see it there on the route, it will pass by. 2nd bus #123 arrived. There's left signal so I assumed it would stop, but it didn't slow down as it was approaching. I raised my hand last minute, and it just shot by. A girl told me maybe I raised my hand too late. Ok, then the 3rd bus #123 arrived. I raised my hand early to wave, but it still shot by! Enough, I think I might catch it at the next stop, so I headed down the road. Sure enough, 123 is listed at the next stop. Imagine I spent almost one hour to wait for 4 bus no. 123! But I think I should be smarter next time with the buses in Singapore. Reached hotel, eat, and watched "Shall We Dance" till 9:30...
9 Nov - My lunch partner broke our appointment :(, had to eat yong tau fu on my own. Spent the day doing some analysis... and finally, fly home to MY! Something not so nice happened, scary!
10 Nov - Went to "wang lao xian shi" for lunch. Then bought some sundries, then went for my neighbour's buffet wedding dinner - a small one for neighbourhood people before the big day tomorrow. Have to skip the main dinner as I'm flying off to SG in the noon... And I'm watching Paycheck now! Tomorrow gotta wake up latest by 7:30...
