table for 7

Last night was happening.
Had dinner with old comrades from Manpower Branch. Chee Wei, Tong, Jason, Seong Per, Kenneth and Wee Leong. The previous time I met them was 3 months ago when I was still working at HP. (for Kenneth it has been more than a year, in Tekong)

The place is called Victor's Café: Galateria: Restaurant, at Center Stage, Marina Square. The food wasn't that bad, I ordered linguine. Don't know why but just feel like eating pasta whenever I'm dining out with friends.

Chee Wei's daughter is 7 months old now, can manage to lean against the wall (and shout "help help the wall is falling)
Tong just came back from Switzerland last Saturday, so was pretty lucky to catch hold of him. He and his girl friend are quite steady~
Jason is still working in the German company.
Splee is the most happening. HAAAHAAAA he changed girlfriend!! Dunno what happened between him and his girl in UK, but his current girlfriend is really shocking to both me and Tong. Hmm.. but it kind of shows that long-d relationship is hard to maintain and duration is not a factor deciding break-ups. Anyway, hope that is was a happy break.
Kenneth... he was having that constipated look cos I made him walk from the Treasury to Marina Square. Me and Wee Leong kept making jokes on him.
Wee Leong is still with his network company. He is planning to take up courses at UNISIM.
And there is Chow, who is as usual, the youngest within the group, and the only student present. Basket all the other undergrads must be busy clubbing.

Wee Leong was very eager to order beer. But there was this competition at the restaurant, called the Mind Match, in which if you can complete the puzzle under 5 minutes, you can win a jug of beer. So, there we go showing the power of Manpower. 4 vs 3, Recruit Section vs the rest. Not sure if the 2 PSC matters, we did it in 3+ minutes whereas the other team did in 4+.

We were happily expecting 2 jugs of beer when the manager played stunt and said it had to be individual effort. Well... so we were saying, ok we all go and win them 7 jugs individually. But surprise surprise, more brains are really better than one. SP couldn't solve it (WL was saying cos SP's mind doesn't have Calsberg), Jason couldn't, Chee Wei couldn't, Wee Leong himself couldn't.

I had been observing the pattern from behind for a while, and decided to give it a try. 2 minutes! And I broke the record timing. Wow.... I got into semi-final (yeah right, as if I will really go back and play again another day.)
NUS Pride!

We shared the beer among ourselves, and Wee Leong finally got his sip of beer.
