Zara Councillors Stingray Outing

From this...

























To this....
























Finally after 6 months of "EH! let's go eat stingray tog leh!", we put words to action - we managed to arrange a day to makan stingray together!

We met on Friday for dinner at Newton Circus. Now i know a place in town which offers affordable and wide variety of food (other than foodcourt). And the place is very spacious, airy and clean, however there is much touting to be seen and heard and felt among the stall holders as the competition is just too intense.



So we ordered some dishes from a botak muscular gentlemanly man who got us a nice table away from the smoke and oil.



The food was really quite good! Except the chicken wings which were marinated in black pepper. Gah. Spoilt the chicky taste.

So after dinner it was only abt 8pm and we were at Newton, we took rather long to finally decide on a place to hang out. AH! we decided to go novena square.

Bo-liao shot taken at Newton Mrt.



But oops, heard that Velocity closes at 9pm. So we changed our minds to CityLink, maybe find a coffee place to sit down... Suddenly our fickle minds led us to think of Marina Square where we could play arcade. And LOL, finally finally we decided on Giraffe, a bar opposite Plaza Singapura.

LOL. We didn't even step in cos the girls thot Giraffe was too ATAS and clad in slippers and casual wear, we wouldn't blend in. OK so FINAL ANSWER (from SLumdog Millionaire) - TCC beside Plaza Singapura.

We were lucky to get a nice cosy corner + air con inside TCC and we spent quite a few hours in there chatting, joking, making fun of each other, teasing, talking about old times, gossiping. It was a very fun time shared. Beats those conversations with other ppl when all we can talk about are jobs, interviews, salaries, economy, current affairs. While I know it's very important to keep in touch with reality and general affairs, talking about topics friends have fun talking about over a drink is what keeps the friendship going and memorable.




We could have hung out longer at the cosy corner in TCC if not for our brimming bladders and guilt for hogging the table.

HA. We ended the day by going to the arcade at the basement leading to the mrt station. We spent $11 in total to adopt (UFO catcher) 2 very adorable animals. HAHAHHAHA!




Take-home line for the day?

It takes 5 Engineers to Catch. Heh.
