Night mode did not really work for us. And my head looked so big, lol. But its ok, its a start to our photo-taking. haha.. I bet the couple waiting for the parking space must be damn pissed. Hee.. we were abt to go when we tot we shld take a pic and there was this car waiting for our lot =P




anyway, Eug brought me to Maxwell Food Center (I'm not v sure if that's wad its called, but yeah.. Its Maxwell, quite near Lau Pa Sat) to have the porridge there. He was telling me how good is it, and the moment we stepped in the first stall I see is He Ji Zhou - a big stall with a queue. There were like abt 3 pp at the kitchen area cooking the porridge lo, you can imagine how busy it is if it were to be lunch hour. There's a wide variety of porridge there, and we order the Mixed Pork Porridge.


Here you go, the yummy porridge. Real smooth and a lot ingredients, which justifies the $3.50 they're charging it for. Pig's intestines, kidney, pork etc. Oh, only complain I had was that the intestines weren't handled properly, as in washed or seasoned properly, cos there's this icky porky smell to it. But other than that, everything was great. So maybe if u guys shld try this next time, req for no intestines then (:


So yep, the dessert.. heh heh. I think its Longan beancurd, though it tastes like jelly. But still.. not bad (:
Ytd was the last day of my attachment. The past few days our colleagues have been treating us very well cos they knew we're leaving. Well, not that they did not treat us well b4, just that they took the initiative to ask us to go out with them for lunch & letting us choose the place etc. Just Thurs they treated us to Billy Bombers at JP. I wished I had my cam phone with me, so I could take pictures of our food. I had sth called Surf and Turf, which was really nice. To my surprise (as well as my colleagues), I managed to finish everything eh. There was a steak (not the usual portion, damn big lo that one) and a fish fillet.. Steak was tender, fish was real good too.. oh, instead of fries I chose potato salad which made me real glad I did. Cos the salad was good, and my colleagues kept commenting on how 'balanced' my meal was. haha.. cos theirs are all fried or like ribs (gravy's got fat ma.. =P).
well.. 5 weeks there. Eric had said he regretted going there cos he might have had more meaningful ways of spending his hols. Yeah.. I agreed somehow, if I went back to Starhub, I could earn near 3x more. which will do me a lot of good given the financial security it would give me. haha.. I did not learn as much as I hoped to. Mainly did Excel stuff, and in e end the employee opinion survey had been pushed back 2-3 times till the deadline was 3 Jan. And since it was only one day for me to help them do the results, I couldn't do much. Pity the temp staff taking over me. I had tot that if I were to be given the time to help them churn out the results of the EOS, it would be a good achievement on my part. 2000+ responses and I'll have to like do the results for each SBU even.
But the exposure and friendly colleagues were a huge plus point la. Its like I was networking, career advice they gave were very good too. What we asked they would always give very good answers and sound advice.. (: But I don't think I'll be going back there for my PA, I hope to go into another industry, hopefully Tourism..
