Lao Pa Sat Gathering (07 Nov '08)




Went for a secondary school gathering at Lao Pa Sat gathering. It's been 15 years. Some of us never ever saw each other since graduation, so that's a long time of not staying in touch. Went to a Starbucks nearby to chill out after dinner. Waiting for the next gathering with more people~

Today was our department turn to move. Fun time had by all, stayed back behind to pack up and arrange my cubicle staff a bit, as well as take some pics of the beloved spot where I sat for about 1 year plus...

Sakura Dinner Buffet at Admiralty Park (03 Nov '08)




Yesterday evening went to try out this new joint near my place. It's been opened for a month plus liao, but I didn't really take notice of it. Not bad, got quite a spread. The quality is ok nia; it's the quantity and spread that overwhelms. I think I won't eat jap food for the next couple of weeks... :P

Office Ping Pong Party (30 Oct '08)




Last Thursday, there weren't much people in the office. Still, it didn't stop the few of us from going to have a good time playing table tennis. Been a while since we last played, my reflexes are down again :p Need to play more!

The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress (1966)

Rating:★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Author:Robert A. Heinlein
From the same guy who gave us "Starship Troopers". A great read, especially on the economic and political commentary parts. It's really amazing when you think that this was written in the 1960s.

Takeaway from this novel:
TANSTAAFL!

"There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!"
