Lunch Buffet
My team decided that it was finally time to use the team fund to go for some much needed entertainment - ie. gorge ourselves to near death at any sinfully expensive buffet in the area. Top choices were the Line Restaurant and Mezza 9. However, due to the fact that our big bosses often only can decide rather last minute, we were tragically unable to get places. *sob* So in the end, we ate sinfully branded hawker food at this place. It was such a big group, close to 20 people! Actually I thought this was part of the welfare fund, but my con revealed that actually every month, each consultant forks out a certain amount of money, making it 300 SGD per month for the team’s fund, and it’s this money that we spend so lavishly and sometimes, rather freely. hehe…

The food there was a variety of local favourites, ranging from your Indian prata/murtabak/curries of every shade and flavour; otah, satay, rojak, chicken rice, char quay tiao, carrot cake (their’s was especially yummy)… … … Not too bad a variety, but just far too heavy on the palate. Lots of stuff’s spicy/curried and can be rather harsh on the tummy. They also had a dessert bar with kuehs, ice cream, malay desserts, and to quote my reg, ‘free flow fruit juice, that’s the best thing’.

We were so full! And some people can really EAT! And I dunno how they remain SO THIN! Life’s so unfair. Boss ate a lot too! WAAAA so much carbo! Predictably, the conversation turned to less palatable things like PEG-ing ourselves, doing gastric lavage and trying out to see if we had the succussion splash, at which point the con went: I doubt it’ll be a splish-splash, more like a plop-plop cuz there’s just too much food in your stomach!

We were all like sloths after we got back, someone took an afternoon nap in the HO room! I was falling asleep while updating the list, unfortunately ending up besmirching the good name of my fellow HO. Haha… At evening rounds, everyone looked so tired, I think all the blood got diverted to the gut already…
