OG 11 Outing 02/11: OMG Deals - Coronation Plaza (February 2011)
Wednesday, February 16, 2011 @ 2:45 PM
Hi Elevenies,
On 15 February 2011, OG 11 went for an outing (aka CNY Outing) to eat Japanese food for $28 for 1.5 hours organised by Jieyang in support of Hazel’s project. As Yuhan end school at 5pm and could only reach Newton at 6pm, we change the meeting time from 5pm to 6.30pm. After Dickson, Xinni, Yingling, Yuhan and I reached Newton MRT, we were told that Jieyang had to send Hazel home first as she was feeling unwell after a talk on Investment at NTU then go home to put his car then take a bus from Newton MRT.
As Dickson was quite good in road directions, he guided us to the destination which we found out was Coronation Plaza which I should have drove there since it is a 15 minutes drive away from my house. When we reached the Japanese restaurant, we asked for permission whether we can sit down in the restaurant and the restaurant staff allowed. We were waiting for Jieyang and grumbling cos we were very hungry and we still had to wait for him. We decided to order our meal at 7.30pm since Jieyang is reaching soon. When Dickson was ordering the meal, the waitress kept asking Dickson to read out the actual name of the dish rather than the number representing the dish 4 times. Dickson got a hard time pronouncing the name of the Japanese dish. Yuhan was pissed off with the waitress for the bad customer service and we were thinking that the staffs there was treating us like dirt since we are not paying the full buffet package which was $38 for 4 hours.
After a while, Jieyang arrived and he was in formal attire. We complained to him of the bad service by the waitress. When the food arrived, I got a shock as we ordered 20 over dishes. In the end, we got a hard time finishing them as we did not expect some dishes to have such a large serving. In the end, we were unable to finish the food and some waitresses kept gossiping about us ordering so much and unable to finish them. In the end, we forced ourself to finish the food by putting some of the dishes on our plates but did not eat them. While Yingling was eating, the air-con water leaked onto her arm and into one of the dishes. Yingling complained to the manager about this and rejected one of the dishes. At 9pm, after we finished our meal, we left the place and at the same time, making fun of Jieyang by thanking Hazel to get this deal so that Jieyang can treat us. Haha. After the meal, Yingling thought of joining her friends at Timbre for her Valentine’s Day outing with her friends but being a GOOD OG member, she stayed with us to have dessert.
We went to a dessert shop opposite Coronation Plaza to have our dessert. Dickson ordered ice-cream cake while the girls ordered ice-cream. After chatting for 30 minutes in the shop, we took a group photo and we went home. The girls and boys split up. While the guys were walking, Khia Peng called Dickson saying she was bored and whether he can spend some time with her. Jieyang called Yuhan whether the girls would like to join Kp and Dickson at Nex for karaoke. However, as the girls have school the next day, they did not join us. After some deliberation, Jieyang and I preferred not to go. Jieyang alighted at Toa Payoh. At a bus stop along Braddell Road, the bus stopped for around 10 minutes as there was a drunkard on the bus. In the end, Khia Peng reached Nex earlier than Dickson. When Dickson and I reached Nex, Dickson went to meet Kp while I went home.
All the best Dicky in your studies in Australia. Hope to see you back in June in time for your birthday. Maybe I will celebrate me 21st birthday in June together with the Dickson, Huixin, Yanho and Yuhan since the girls would not be free in April as they need to prepare for their Year 2 examinations.
