OG 11 Outing 03/11: Monthly OG Gathering (March 2011)
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 @ 12:17 AM
Hi Elevenies,
On 15 March 2011, Dickson suggested that we go to Holland Village and Yuhan organised this outing. The funny thing was that the person who suggested is in Australia and unable to attend the outing. Anyway, thanks Dicky for the suggestion.
We planned to meet at Buona Vista MRT and go to Holland Village at 6.30pm. However, at the eleventh hour, Yingling, Khia Peng and Huixin could not make it for the outing and in the end, only Jieyang and I met up at Buona Vista MRT. Even though I had a bad sore throat, I still come for this outing since the attendance is already quite poor. We took a bus from Buona Vista MRT to Holland V. Yuhan was already at Starbucks as she was studying with her friend. Jieyang and I waited for Yuhan to finish her discussion and after a while, Richard came and the 4 of us went to ‘Everything with Fries’. Fortunately, Yuhan already reserved 6 seats so we were lucky as we did not need to wait to be seated. After waiting for another 10 minutes, Xinni arrived and we started to order our food.
After we ordered our dinner, we started to chit-chat. However, as my voice was bad, I did not talk much. We waited for about 30 minutes before our meal arrived and we were wondering whether the restaurant has enough plates since there were a lot of people around and they were not leaving. When we wanted to ask a waiter why our food was taking so long, Xinni’s meal arrived and Jieyang joked that we have to wait for another 30 minutes before the next meal arrive. One by one, our meal arrived and my meal was special as there were 2 plates – one for the spaghetti and the other for the fries. It seems that there were not enough plates as my spaghetti was in the plate meant for the appetiser. As the portion was quite big, we took a long time to eat finish and we talked and gossip a lot. The only person missing was Yingling otherwise, the outing would be more exciting.
After our meal, we went to an ice-cream shop opposite Holland Village and Xinni and Yuhan ordered ice-cream while the guys see them eat. There was a joke about some lighter thingy where I need to disguise myself if I were to buy a lighter and also when I light a lighter, I need to wear gloves. The entire group laughed quite loudly. About 10pm, we left the ice-cream shop and Xinni took a bus back to NUS while the four of us took Richard’s new car to Bishan. Thank you Richard for the ride to Bishan MRT and hope you like the ‘overdue’ birthday present that the OG gave you for your birthday.
The next outing would be organised by Yingling since she said she will make up her absence by organising next month’s outing. Anyway, hope my voice can recover soon so that I can tell you all more stories. LOL. Moreover, do not forget, someone’s birthday falls in April and you all know what to do ah? =)
I also updated the OG 11 Exco appointments in the outing history. Don’t mind take a look.
