Breakfast in the staff canteen was great today because they served jiao zi, hash browns and dumplings (:

There weren’t any events today and it was rather quite; maybe it’s because it was a Sunday.

Today was a good working day because Goh was on off and YJ and I didn’t do much for the whole morning.

Met Ehui at around 10.30am and followed him around to check all the function rooms to see if they are being set up and if everything was in order.

There was a wedding going on tonight, 2 full day meetings, an outdoor catering event and 2 site inspections.

YJ and I then went for lunch and when we returned, Ehui asked us to follow him out of the hotel.

The 3 of us cabbed down to Puxi’s Lu Jia Bang. It’s a place where a lot of tailors are and they customize suites, winter clothing etc etc.

Ehui was there to collect his suits he tailor-made last time. I think the price is quite reasonably cheap and I’m sure I’ll go tailor a couple of suites before I return to Singapore (:

After getting his stuff we cabbed back to the hotel and Cherry, Tracy, YJ and I watched Ehui eat his Burger King lunch.


We then all went up to the function room to prepare for the site inspection. Tracy changed into Jade’s hostesses uniform because she was tasked to serve chocolates.

There was a wide display of pretty looking chocolates for the site inspection! YJ and I were so tempted to eat the chocolates because we heard it was damn good.

We weren’t of much use at the site inspection so YJ and I headed down to the Lobby Lounge to look for Joanne. She was playing with this baby and his parents lived in Singapore for 2 years (dad’s a French and mum’s a Malaysian). Chatted with them for a bit and headed up to see if the inspection was done so we could eat the chocolates.

Sadly, the both of us only tried 1 chocolate each. We had a passion fruit piece and it was oh-so-good. We wanted to eat more, but all of them were rushing down to the outdoor catering site already so we followed them although we ended work already.

We decided to follow them because we wanted to take a look at it. It was so near; at The Bund (less than 5 mins walk from the hotel).

Since the weather was so cold already, YJ and I were freezing!! The whole set-up was impressive though; a huge stage, cocktail reception area and a buffet spread for 200pax.

The strange thing was that the whole area was blocked up and there were actually people crowding around waiting for the event to start despite not knowing what it was about.

We stayed for a bit, and Cherry & Tracy explained to us some of the things about the event. After that YJ and I decided to go back to the hotel to change because we were freezing until our feet turned numb.

Since Jie Ying told us that there was a Subway at the Pearl Tower, we decided to go hunt for it and eat it for our dinner. Walked all the way to the Pearl Tower and we were greeted by the familiar yellow and green Subway logo! :D :D :D

Ordered our sandwich and sat outside to eat. It was such a lovely feeling eating a sandwich outdoors with such cool weather.

After eating, we called Tracy to ask if the performance started already and she said no. So YJ and I walked back to the Bund to see the performances.

On our way there, we saw fireworks! We thought it was from our event, but in the end it wasn’t. Tracy brought us in and there was some musical performance going on but YJ and I felt so out of place because we were in our home clothes.

We only stayed for a bit before deciding to walk to Jia De Li to buy water before heading home.
