Met up with the 26/05 gang at that awesome italian/jap restaurant in liang court (I still can't remember the name, saizariya or something). It's fast becoming my favourite restaurant after NYDC failed me. 5 of us ate tonnes of food and it only came up to $12 each. Did I mention it's awesome?
Ate there, moved on in search of a pub and almost got smothered to death by smoke in the process. Ended up at some pub, found a alcoholic drink that doesn't taste alchoholic (mango martini!), laughed at MY's mini brownie (which is REALLY mini, like bite-size mini), watched some soccer while americans shouted their lungs out when they scored and took the long 12 journey home.
Teresa, MY, Vita, Yen, and I all took 12 home. The back seats kinda felt like a train compartment and these girls I would most certainly not mind travelling with. I love it when you're so comfortable with your friends you can not worry about holding a conversation. So MY and I just snoozed while the rest chatted.

Mio TV is to the death of me. NEVER EVER GET MIO TV.
Reason #1 - no sense of time
The Mio was supposed to be set up at 4-6pm. They called and asked to come at 9am .
Reason #2 - hopeless service staff
They dont even know what their job scope is. The package I signed up for consist of the TV, the internet and the phone line. They first asked me if I ordered for the internet. Then they ask me why I already have a modem (-_- seriously, who doesn't have a modem at home. TO SURF NET LA IDIOT). Then they tell me "oh.. then I just need to fix the TV, the internet no need to change". Then they started removing all the plugs of my computer (remember when they said they don't have to change the internet?), then they started taking the phone line box thingy apart. Then they freaking realise they can't fix it at that phone line. So after fumbling for an hour, they decide to move to another phone line. When they finally finish taking apart all the connections in my house, they took another 1 hour trying to get the TV channels set up. You know when you switch on the cable and they say "loading in progress"? Well, for Mio, it's PERMANENTLY IN PROGRESS. So it took them till 12pm (remember they came at 930am) to finish setting up. Then I asked the guy about my internet. CAUSE IT IS NOT WORKING AFTER THEY BLOODY TOOK EVERYTHING APART. He said to "call singtel, ask for password, key it in and it will be fine". Then they left.
But IT WAS NOT FINE. I swear he doesn't freaking know how to do half his job.
Reason #3 - calling the service hotline will kill you
"Press 1 for english... Press 2 for ..... Press.... Please key in.... Press...."
Imagine spending 10 minutes before you get to anyone. Then imagine calling more than 10 times. Just imagine...
Reason #4 - the hotline staff will lie to you
They told me on 2 different occasions that they will call me back IMMEDIATELY. They didn't. First time they took an hour. Second time they never did call back.
They told me they can only get a technical staff down on Monday. I called back demanding for an earlier time. They say they can send someone today.
They told me they technical staff will come from 4-6pm. He came at 8pm.
Reason #4 - they screw up a perfectly simple task
Ended up, the bloody staff in the morning was supposed to bring me a new modem but apparently they didn't know. THANKS.
Reason #5 - bloody tv programmes suck
Imagine watching a programme for 5 minutes, then comes the message "connection lost, please wait", and followed by "connection lost, please choose another programme".
THAT'S ONE BLOODY WASTED DAY THAT I WILL NEVER GET BACK.
I replaced the stupid set with my starhub cable box. Goodness. Bloody Mio.

BCA meeting in NUS. People who are supposed to be there either weren't there or left early.
23 June
Another meeting. I think my boundaries for friends should start getting more defined and selective.
24 June
Dinner at Everything with Fries. It's not too bad. But the fries are not that spectacular. I think I am addicted to chilli sauce. Celebrated Sihui's bday with the help of an entertaining waiter.
