gathering @ waraku

oh yeah, managed to knock off on time again... and met up with joelle at bugis. today got our poly skul mates gathering at marina square. yanping called to meet us at city hall station, so we walked from bugis to city hall. caught a shot of this lamp post at bugis... just realised, bugis got lotsa different lamp post wor...

when we were at raffles hotel, joelle suddenly said "wow, 东城 raffles hotel 也有 wor..." looking closer, chek, its doc cheng's lah... not dong cheng... :P

us, just outside raffles hotel... a very vintage building. nice...

hey, the 2 preggies, joelle and yanping...
both edd around the same time wor... haha, our friends going to suffer during the 2 full months wor... hmmm... maybe we can have a joint-venture for full month party, minimise the cost, maximise the returns... haha...

this wakuku, wakaka, ok lah, its waraku japanese resturant is so difficult to find wor... its situated in marina square but it isn't really inside marina square... aiya, difficult to explain lah...

joelle booked the resturant for 10 pax, (joelle, me, yanping, zijian, shumin, pingzhu, he an, huiping, yiping and joo lee)... ghee, these were our poly skul mates, and poly times was like 14 years ago... omg... anyway, we were given a room! we tot we gonna need to squat when we first saw this... then we realised there is a hole that let us put our legs while sitting down... phew... if not the 2 preggies how to squat wor?

the waraku menu... oooh, so the red...

haa, the 3 who were always early...


pingzhu and joelle... think pingzhu is flying off to australia by this year liao... had been talking about her migration and now its actually going to happen by this year... ghee...

this thingy here, is wireless and press the button, the waiter comes... comes quite fast somemore wor... but the food serving is very slow... waited almost 30 minutes for the food to be served...

this is my drink, the samurai... lime + sake...
not bad... actually wanna drink ice lemon tea, but i'll be a sucker if i ordered it as it is the season's ice lemon tea at $6.80 lor... crazy ah?? outside sell only $1 per can wor...

this is yanping and shumin. shumin just came back from her trail honeymoon... oh well, she said that japan trip doesn't count, her april eastern europe then can count... wah, poh heng, kanna 'tok' ah!!! oh, she bought these pocky sticks for us... thankie! remember to get us crystal minnie mouse from your eastern europe trip wor... keke

we got the strawberry flavour one... :)


get ready! here comes the food...
fried chicken, this is very good!

next up, my fav chawanmushi...

this supposed to be fried lotus root... oh well...

my main course, chicken teriyaki don...

yanping's spicy udon comes in a big big bowl...

big enuff to wash feet lor... haha

joelle's set... not sure what it is called, but it looked something like 板面... and its 1 inch wide...

the rest of guys were too far to take photo liao... large group in long table...
but it was a fun nite thou... sharing jokes and stories happening around us, updating each other's stories... its really fun gathering with these people... laughers fill the room... in fact, i think we laugh abit too loudly but thats us...
next up, the ice-creams... i ordered this petit 5 piece ice-cream (claimed to be flown in from japan)... not bad, only its really very petit...

another ice-cream ordered, think its green tea flavour... not bad also...

oh well, with that, wrap up our gathering... and they are planning for a new year gathering at shumin's place... omg, i just keep eating and eating these few days... siao liao lor... :P
