Ok so tis is a belated post, same as the one that I'm gonna post later, cuz as usual, I'm waiting till I have posted the pix first, and its not easy cuz some blardy earthquake damaged some cables in Taiwan and apparently, its affecting the internet connection in some Asia Pacific countries... hmmm I never know that Taiwan has such a great impact on the rest of the world other than their bubble teas, variety shows, singers and soap operas which had successfully invaded places like M'sia, S'pore, China and possibly Japan.
So anywaes, those of you who had posted pix in blogger before would have already know that its a freaking hair pulling experience trying to post and re-align pix after you have typed a long entry... Someone over at Blogger ought to make it easier for people to post pix, but then again, they may already have done so in the Google version which I have not converted yet... bleah

Back to the Ah Geok's Department's Year End Party, held sometime during mid Dec, at Indochine, The Forbidden City. Its supposed to be a dine and club hangout place near the MOS (note that I used MOS as a reference point cuz I can never differentiate Boat Quay and Clark Quay, much like some people who simply dunno their 左 from their 右) The ambience and decor was quite nice but the food sux big time... We are supposed to have Vietnamese cuisine but they had to put in so much yucky corriander-taste-alike herb that I felt like I'm eating grass most of the time. And they have supper yucky poison like otah with coconut milk... gross...

The emcee of the nite aint much better...He looks like a clown without the white face paint and the red rubber nose, cracks weak jokes and treats us like goons... 'C'mon, you guys are accountants, good with numbers, should have gotten the correct answer by now'... What the fuck? C'mon man, you are the entertainer, you are supposed to be entertaining, so make us laugh already!

The killer program is when Ah Geok gave her speech... as usual she can't speak for nuts, I gave up counting on the number of 'erms' and 'ehs' that she uttered while trying to make out coherent sentences... And I dun understand why she kept mentioning the fact that she's early for this year's function... kan ni na, its social etiquette that you arrive at a function on time ok? Who gives a fuck if you are Ah Geok and we are working in Ah Geok's Department?!?!

The theme of the nite is Shanghai Grand, so we are all supposed to dress like well, Shanghaians in era of '6os...heheh although the program and the food sux, we still managed to entertain ourselves by taking photos...

The last remaining lao chiao MSOs around
