ORD Gathering

Today we had a platoon ORD gathering, that is, our last gathering b4 we leave The Army. Went to HabourFront Centre to have a buffet dim sum at the DragonGate Chinese Restaurant. Ken made the choice of the restaurant n I muz say he's got good taste. The food was good, n the price is pretty reasonable. The amount we had, it's definitely worth more than the S$15 each of us paid. There were 12 of us, obviously not the whole platoon was around(we have 22). The 12 of us took up a huge table n we ate like savagers. It was as if we hadn't ate for a few days. Haha, I think the waitresses there were shocked with the amount of food we ordered n finished. Everytime a new dish touched down on the table, it would be gone within 1minute. That was how fast we were.

We entered the restaurant at 12noon n left at 2pm, a total of 2hours of savage eating. It's a good thing that we actually know when to stop ordering. Haha.. Had a birthday cake after eating to celebrate for those early babies in our platoon, me included. When everything ended, we left as a happy platoon, feeling damn satisfied with the amount of food we ate. Haha.. That's the trademark of army boys. We'll always eat like savagers.

After the buffet, some of us went off while the rest headed to People's Park Centre at ChinaTown to check out the travel packages for our Phuket trip 2 weeks later. The prices were pretty attractive n we more or less had things settled, except for our oversea leave application, which will probably be done by tmr.

After ChinaTown, the rest went home while I went to Bugis' Guanyin Temple to offer some joss sticks. Oh my, it was so damn crowded that I could hardly squeeze myself in. U can say I'm superstitious, but I have to thank Mother Goddess for helping me pass my driving test smoothly last week. I had gotten a Malay tester, one which my friends said is super good, n there was only ONE Malay tester in the driving centre. The one n only, n I had gotten him through drawing lots. How lucky huh?

The temple trip took me almost half an hour squeezing in n coming out. Then I went to Sim Lim Square to get some stuff n returned home after that. I'm still pretty full now from the huge amount of dim sum I ate this noon. bleah..

Back to camp now. Buh Bye~
