BMT gathering (21.7.07)

21 July 2007

Tiong Peng and I initially planned this as a shopping trip months ago, but it expanded into a full-scale BMT gathering. KC has some personal issues to settle in the day, while Chris is involved in NDP. Therefore, the two of them could only join us for night activities. Ryan cannot join us, as he is away in Malaysia to celebrate his grandfather's birthday...

Tiong Peng and I meet at 1.30pm, which I was 20min late, at Bugis Junction Old Chang Kee, before going to MOS Burger to meet Zhong Sheng and his friend for our shopping adventure. The four of us began combing Bugis Junction. Tiong Peng and I were rather disappointed with the closure of The Edge. We then crossed over to New Bugis Street, exploring the numerous exotic miniature shops, before accompanying Zhong Sheng to buy DVD-R at Sim Lim Square. Zhong Sheng's friend left after this. The 3 of us returned to Bugis Junction, where Tiong Peng bought a T-shirt and a bag. It was followed by some bites from Tori-Q and Crystal Jade Bakery.

At 4.30pm, the 3 of us took bus #33 to Queensway Shopping Centre, where we shopped for quite long. I bought a T-shirt at Converse and we continue searching for my ideal Puma shoes and football jersey, but in vain... We proceeded to Anchorpoint Shopping Centre food court for dinner, before taking bus #64 to Dhoby Ghaut.

After walking a long distance to Wheelock Place, we meet up with KC for kopi at Coffee Bean. Black Forest Ice Blended taste good, with the perfect mixture of mocha, chocolate and cherries...

After chilling out for some time, the 4 of us took bus #65 to Boon Keng, where we meet up with Chris for roti prata supper. This supper is undeniably the highlight of this gathering. We joked about silly moments of BMT, making sarcastic comments, and share future goals and prospect. The 5 of us had a really good laugh over the stupidest repeated telecast of BMT classic. We stay there until 12am before going home.

While waiting for bus #23 or bus #65, I am attracted to the signboard (showing a huge deep sea grouper) of an interesting fish soup specialty restaurant. I hope to try it next time...

BMT gathering (19.5.07)

19 May 2007

This was a rather last-minute gathering organized by my bed buddy Chris. The initially plan was to meet on 4pm at Bugis Junction. However, this was drastically changed to 3pm at Holland Village. Immediately after attending the "6.5 million: Growing Singapore, Planning Ahead" talk, I boarded the MRT to Somerset (with a short detour to HMV) and transferred to bus #106.

Upon arriving at Holland Village, only KC was waiting outside Cold Storage. Tok Soon arrived shortly after me. As Tok Soon had not taken his lunch, the 3 of us accompanied him to the Food Centre to grab some food... After waiting for about 45min, Chris and Tiong Peng finally arrived. Zhong Sheng turned up shortly... Once Tok Soon and Tiong Peng finished eating their food, the 6 of us crossed over to Ya Kun Kaya Toast for a light afternoon tea... After having some toast and kopi, the infamous decision-making problem hitted us again...

The final decision was to head towards Queensway Shopping Centre for window shopping. Being a 'Ghim Moh local', KC lead us to a bus stop, where we boarded bus #196 to our destination. We wandering around the mall for quite a while, before we decided to head to West Coast Recreation Centre via #198 for a game of pool. It's a pity that I can't participate as my left hand had not fully recovered...

Feeling hungry, the group decided to stop the game and go for dinner. Tok Soon returned home to eat with his family, while the rest of us crossed AYE to Clementi Town Centre, where we had our meal at Sumo House.

After dinner, Chris left to go to his grandmother house. The remaining 4 of us decided to chill at a café... Taking into consideration the distance to our home, KC suggested a central location - Orchard (I am a little touched as I am the only Eastie)... Once again, we boarded #106 and alighted at Orchard for a coffee session at Wheelock Place Coffee Bean. After chatting for over an hour, KC left to meet his friend. Tiong Peng, Zhong Sheng and I walked towards Dhoby Ghaut MRT station to catch a train home...
