Ho-Hum Outing at Suntec

I went out with my old NUS group-mates today. They actually took 3 weeks to arrange this outing just because everyone kept changing their mind. Oh, well. We agreed to go to Suntec for lunch.

I received a call from JN at 12 noon to remind me of the meeting since I keep on teasing her that I will forget about it. She told me not to be late. Oh, well. I was leaving home already, so I will be there on time. We were supposed to meet at 1:00 pm, and I arrived at 12:45 pm. I knew I would be in for trouble. Typical Singaporeans (especially students) are always late.

I walked around City Link to pass the time AL and SV finally arrived at 1:45 pm. JN had a job interview and would be late. KH... well, as usual, he never did turn up. We went to Suntec first to walk around, but an hour later, JN still had not arrive.

We were deciding on what to eat. SV mentioned that Swiss Culture has Swiss Cheese Pasta; oh, that makes me drool. At 3:00 pm, we finally decided to eat without her. It's about time, too, since all of us were hungry. We decided to eat at Sakae Sushi. I ordered a Teriyaki Chicken Ramen. AL and SV got themselves soft shell crabs and selected dishes off the moving conveyor belt.

As we ate, SV talked about her new job. It made me feel a little stressed that I have not begun job hunting. The conversation turned a little dry to me as they carried on talking about jobs for hours, even after everyone had finished their food. And JN still haven't arrived.

I got a little bored/tired/impatient, and told them I was going. Yeah, it is socially unacceptable for a person to leave halfway in the middle of an outing, but so what? I was friggin' bored; I could not accept the fact that we wasted 1 hour+ doing absolutely nothing before lunch. With a little persuasion, I decided to stay on. We eventually decided to foot the bill and left Sakae Sushi at around 4:30 pm.

After that, it was more walking around. AL shopped for clothes, while SV went to look at jewellery. This was definitely not my kind of thing. Finally, SV soon got a call from JN; her job interview had ended and she had reached Suntec. I waited for her to arrive before I politely excused myself and left.

On the way out of Suntec, I passed by aTV showing Kung Pow. OMG, that was one super duper hilarious movie I remember. The people who passed by also stopped and laughed at the show's silliness. I guess this was the only 'highlight' of today's outing. Yeah. Different people, different tastes. Now back to my regular life.
