Overbooked my social session

Saturday's evening, looking at my polo watch, it shows 8:15pm.  after the last pile has been casted on my site. I walk switftly heading towards the nearest MRT station, Marcpherson, which is about 10 minutes away. My trousers are tainted with dried mud and silt. I was imagining the picture of myself in Orchard Road or Somerset later in a  luxurious korean restaurant gathering with Foh and Choimei.At that particular moment I feel so out of the picture. Worse, I am way behind the schedule., the dinner suppose to be at 0830 which had been delayed from 6pm due to my sudden overtime instructed by my employer, and I am still 10 minutes away from the nearest MRT station.

Upon reaching Somerset MRT station, I just realised that Nolboo Korean restaurant is located on the 8th floor of Orchard Central. -.-!

Although I took the escalator, I still sweat! It isn't a pleasant experience at all. 8 floors of escalator in one go is quite tiring. :)

When I walked in Nolboo restaurant, I heard my name being called almost instantaneously. "Jason!!" Looked around most of the empty tables, I found Choi Mei and Foh sitting on one of the 5 person compartment. I walked swiftly towards the table and greeted them while I was still panting heavily after floors of escalator.

They took the menu out, and started order at about 0910, I decided to let them have a go with the ordering as I am still recovering from my breathlessness.

Catching up with Foh and Choi Mei would be my first encounter to have us sitting on one table catching up together. However, the topics in all our conversation are so tightly connected, maybe because the social circle that we have got are pretty much overlapped. It was not too long when ChingHui and his GF, Eugene appeared. We continued our dinner until the restaurant was about to close. I think I was slightly tipsy by then, not because of the drink, (as far as I remember, I didn't drink on that occasion) but because of the excitement of what we had discussed over the Korean cuisine at the dining table.

After our meal at orchard central, chinghui suggested to drink at KPO, a bar about 5 minutes walk away
from Nolboo restaurant. KPO is two storey, modern, dimly lighted barp. We were seated in the ope in area on the landscape deck of the building. Drinking our night away in the heart of the lion city. Catching up with Foh, Choi Mei, Ching Hui, Eugene and LALA.

I will not put our conversation into details for now. Maybe in the future, when I am a better writer and also a listener.

Catch up with mates

1'Hello, Jason! I am in Ang Mo Kio.'said Fatty

'Okok, give me 20 minutes, i will be in AMK hub'

I tried to clear my vision after my blurred vision from a short nap. I checked my time on my Iphone, 1823. I changed my cloth and I am on my way from my place to AMK hub with my head still sleeping, Texted with Eeffie while I was walking from my place to AMK Hub. We had a brief conversation regarding our schedule for the weekend.

At first I thought 20 minutes to would be an overestimation for the time required from my bed to AMK hub, I  found myself reaching AMK hub about roughly about 23 minutes later. 

While waiting for Tsen to finish his laundry and then to pick us up in AMK MRT station, fatty and I had a drink in Coffee Bean. 

We talked about urban farming, economy, career development, what he had been working on. It was a rare conversation between us, but I did enjoy the short coffee talk with fatty in AMK hub. 

Tsen picked us up from MRT station about 1923, three of us on board travelling into the heart of Lion City like how we used to ventured into Prontera. A town we used to hang out together in RO. 

Fatty suggested to hang out at timbre a fusion restaurant located in Sophia Mountain @Dhoby Ghaut. 

As I walked into the restaurant, they have got dimmed lights, dressed-up ladies, jazz music, empty bottles on tables and a faint smell of pizzas, rather romantic yet relaxing set up.Immediately  I found myself coming with the wrong gender group a whole bunch of males.-.-! 

Maybe this place is to ignite our bromance, 

However, upon being seated on our table, I spotted an Ipad with a security chain cable locked onto the table which would probably be how we are going to order our food from. The best thing about ordering from an Ipad is that we have minimal communication with the waiters and we could take our time to place our order accordingly. A rather new and comfortable experience 

After our meal, the background music becomes overwhelming that we could not further communicate apart from shouting on top of our lungs. We decided to move on, to somewhere quieter and most probably cheaper after footing the bills at timbre. 

Tsen drove us off Sophia mountain and headed Geylang, Singapore's red light district. A district full of budget hotels, ladies on the road doing some weird dance, 24-hour shops and restaurants. 

We stop at a place where they serve frog porridge. Although I have had some difficulty persuading myself to consume exotic delicacy. 

After the our porridge session, we went to our last destination for the night, a dessert restaurant in Geylang as well.
I suppose filling my stomach with a week's worth of food would be a good idea for us to call it a day.
