OG 11 Outing 02/12: OG Monthly Gathering (February 2012)
Tuesday, February 21, 2012 @ 12:10 AM
On 20 February 2012, OG 11 had an outing to say goodbye to Dicky before he returns to Australia to resume his final year of University education. This outing was rather smooth going because all 6 of us were agreeable on a date when we planned the outing a week ago. We met at 6pm at the Corcorde and Yuhan was reading her Geography notes, Dickson was reading his book and Xinni was playing games on her handphone. We waited till about 6.30pm until Jieyang and Yingling arrived at Golden Mile Complex and we walked over to receive them.
Yuhan recommended us to a restaurant selling Thai food and we ordered 6 dishes such as Tom Yam, Pineapple rice, Olive rice etc. The first thing we did was to pass Yingling her belated birthday present which we owed her since October last year. We talked about school life and also I talked about my problem with my coursemate on facebook. After having our meal, Xinni gave us some souvenirs that she got when she went for exchange in England. She gave us a replica of The Big Ben and Jieyang thought it was an Eiffel Tower, causing us to laugh out loudly. Even after Yuhan said it was Big Ben, Jieyang pronounced it as Big Bang until Yuhan said 'wth' to him. As Yingling preferred the golden Big Ben then the silver Big Ben that she drew from the bad randomly, I exchanged mine with hers.
After dinner, we decided to find a place to sit down and chit-chat since the restaurant at Golden Mile was too noisy and not conducive for a chit-chat session. As Dickson knows the place around town well, he lead us to a place called 'Fika Swedish Cafe and Bistro' around the Bugis area where we had tea and dessert. We sat down and talked about many things from a few private issues and a few jokes that sometimes can be crude but funny. One joke was that when Jieyang asked Yingling where is the Tower of Pisa located, she said that it was in Barcelona, Spain, and we started laughing because it was supposed to be located in Italy. We also started talking about where is Mumbai and Abu Dhabi located and suddenly Jieyang blurted out Abu Dhabi & Fitch which was no link since it was supposed to be ABERCROMBIE & FITCH. Another joke was that when we discussing about Thailand, Yingling suddenly said Bangkok不是被淹掉了meh?, causing us to laugh again. We chit-chat till around 10pm and we walked to Bugis MRT to take the train home.
All the best Dickson in your final year in Australia. Hope to see you in June when you return for the first semester holidays.
