Just Another Blog Out There

Supper time!

Last week I went out with supper with my hall friends, and this whole supper outing turned out to be a blooper.

The people from the east side were supposed to meet us northerners for supper at Thomson, and the original plan was that Huayang and Shen Jau are the two drivers to pick the rest of us northerners. However, HY didn't managed to secure his father's car, and therefore all the pick-ups were done by SJ. So SJ had to make loops to pick me and HY up, and then drive all the way to Marsiling to pick Dong and Shaowen up.

We're 15 minutes late.

We managed to pick Dong up, and SW is supposed to be with him. Lo and behold, he's enjoying himself somewhere in Sembawang with his other group of friends. So SJ had to make his way down to Sembawang to pick SW up. And his van is running low on fuel, and needed to be refilled within the next 10 km.

We're 30 minutes late.

Therefore, out of consideration for the easterners, we decided to spilt up for supper instead of making them wait for us. It's another 30 minutes to pick SW up and to refill the van and to drive all the way down to Thomson.

And so we called them, telling them to go on to have supper by themselves. Thanks to mis-communication, I think they took it that we find it a hassle having to drive down to meet them and therefore decide to have supper by ourselves instead.

And so they got angry and went back to the east side to have supper instead. The northerners received our fair share of bombardment from them, although I don't blame them for reacting this way. I would have too.

And so we ended up in some kopitiam in Sembawang and, over supper, trying to dissect what had happened, and listening to Dong's adventurous tales of his Cambodia/Thailand trip. Interesting.

What a blooper.
