Went for the BBQ at Pasir Ris park with Fuji Xerox people on Saturday night. You can't believe how far the place is. After a 1 hour journey by train from boon lay to pasir ris, we had to take a feeder bus to the park and after alighting, we still had to walk a long distance to the pit. Upon arrival at Pasir Ris park, we started feeling tiny droplets of rain falling from the sky and we could see flashes of lightning streaking across the sky. I started to wonder: "Is this going to be our day?" Seems like we had made a mistake in going.
Thankfully, the sky cleared up and it was business as usual. We really started eating only around 9pm. Each of us had paid $20 for this barbeque and we were expecting some really good food. In the end we only had sausages (enormous ones I should say), satays, fish, squid, pork chop and chicken fillet. It turned out that there were still a lot of food left uncooked and those were the expensive ones; there was a packet of beef sirloin. Major cockup. No wonder Chae told me he was pissed that we kept cooking the sausages.
Ironically, the most enjoyable part of the day came about when we were away from the BBQ pit and playing basketball. Im not much of a basketballer myself but the others are good. We mixed the temps and the perms for the first match and for the second match, it's temps vs perms. Yong Bin is too damn good, we can see the difference in class from the way he plays. Weiqi is very good as well but he can't go on for more than 15 mins (or was it 5 mins? Haha.) On the FEW occasions when he wasn't sitting down on the floor resting, we caught glimpses of how good he can be. :D Lionel was aggressive enough and hit a couple of stunning long range shots that had us awestruck. Melissa was always involved in the build ups to our attacks, but she got hit by the ball more times than she would have liked. Haha.
After the game, we were all sweaty, oily, stinky, smoky and in very pathetic states. It was already 1 plus near 2 when we left. So we shared a cab home, bathed and slept.
