27th feb friday - like what irin said, we went for buffet with slasher, after which, irin brougght us went over to the market behind OG. slasher was very suprised by the prices for the daily neccessities he seen there. it was AT LEAST 20% below the normal price he get and he even made a special note on his iPhone to help him locate the place again. while irin was hunting down the stuff she wan, me and slasher went to walk ard and found a interesting shop selling liu li. The sales lady was from china i think, so she targeted me in explaining the various uses and advantages of 琉璃. fyi, 琉璃 is basically glass art. here are more information wiki-琉璃 . recently, this art form is being used to create various talisman and amulet for feng shi. why? i think mainly is that, it wont tarnish, easily manufactured and the biggest reason, super low cost. but adding a feng shui label on it, allows it to raise quite a few folds in value.
Interesting theory to point out. looking at different retail outlets, you see a different service level and attitude. shops like feng shui shop, jewellery shop usually have assistants who are attentive to the point of crime: they stalk you, they watch your every move, they video you down. whereas assistant at grocery shops, daily neccessity shops will never give you that kind of attention. A knows that what they are selling is over priced, and by giving you that much attention, they are hoping that you will part with your money to feed them. B knows that you need it, you'll die die get it. not saying that B wont be nice, but they wont go out of thier way to assist.
After that, we send irin off at the bus stop and went on to CSC to check out some stuff for slasher. then we went to orchard to meet seagull and edward. the situation there was abit funny, you see all the guys ard playing boardgames and stuff, where me and slasher are there talking about Pet Society and even started playing there. seagull showed me his Mafia Wars account, alot alot of money.
After games were done, we left that place ard 10 and went over to city hall for J Co donuts. the mocha freeze isnt very nice, guess they had more reputation for donuts than coffee.
After donuts, we sat ard and talked til ard 11.30 before going off. Edward walked with me all the way to my lift lobby, saying he had nothing to do. guess we're all lonely ppl in a way. while we were walking, we talked about finding a good place to play board games, so i mentioned that we were planning to go seagull's place. edward disagree with me on that as he's worried that we'll be imposing on mrs gull and miss gull. i replied that it has to happen at least once before anyone can decide if it's good.
28th feb sat - Rainy day. spend the first half of the day chilling at home doing nothing. played Pet Society all day. then suddenly, we all arranged to go over the seagull's place for a boardgame session. Slasher went to meet 120 at simlim then came over to pick me then edward.
We went over to the market at chong pang, then went over the seagull's place.
Dinner was good as you can see from the picture.
We played Kapitan which 120 won all 3 rounds. then we played Cash and Guns. and finally Zombie. 120 missed this scene - slasher's char surround by the zombies i called up ard him. hahaha
1st Mar sunday - were still at seagull's place when the day started. we went over to sun plaza for macdonald's breakfast before going home. poor seagull was sleeping through the breakfast. slept the whole day away. when i woke up in the evening, recieved news that Yeo's mother had passed away.
2nd Mar monday - Woke up still with a headache. played online games til 4pm then went over to Yeo's mother's wake. after which, 120 came to fetch me and we went to marina for dinner and chilling out. met slasher, 120's alan, pebble, pebble's friend, shrekho.
