Orbit Ne Ne's Farewell

Lunch With My Kai-Ye

It’s been years since my Edmund Kai-ye retired from my company. I finally managed to get everyone together for lunch today and was really looking forward to seeing him after a long silence.

We met for lunch together with Linda, Mummy Florence and Woon Lee at Crystal Jade Suntec. As our office is nearby, we arrived early and placed our order as we only have an hour of freedom to eat!!! Kai-ye was punctual as always and it was really nice to see him again. He has lost quite a bit of weight compared to the past but he sure looked so much healthier!

We started taking some pictures before the food arrived and it was all fun. The food Linda ordered was just enough for everyone and it was really enjoyable. We should do that more often… Miss you Kai-ye…

Alpha Musicians Party

We ended the last session of Post Alpha Gathering last night and we are looking forward to our rest next couple of months. We have served the Alpha continuously for the last 5 months and it was indeed a fruitful and meaning journey for me as I am considered a newbie.

The ‘Hot Mama’ Emily organized a KTV gathering at Party World International Building and boy I was excited about it. Met Patsy and hot mama for dinner at Hoshigaoka at Scotts Isetan as that was the most ‘available’ restaurant during peak hour dinner time.

While having dinner, we were also waiting for Lynn to join us since she called to inform that she will be on her way down. I ordered the recommended set from the menu and it was Steak Ju. The picture looked really good and YES, it tasted fantastic man… the beef was so tender that it actually melted in my mouth. Nope, it’s not Kobe beef, not sure what beef but it was certainly delicious.

After dinner, we wasted no time and headed to Party World. As usual, we were early and we started ‘warming up’ our voices. The cozy room was good for 8 of us and Emily told the waiters that we will be ordering bottles so… room charges & snacks will be waived. Cool stuff man…









Soon after, Philip and Irene arrived and our Hokkien KTV king Alvin arrived quite late as he was at St. James before that. Aiyo… he is the real CHEONGSTER man!!! Hahaahahah….



Hubby came to join us for awhile but due to work, we left early but we surely had fun…

Tavolo


Minowa-san who went to Berlin on a business trip was back in 2 days ago and he invited us for lunch today. He told me that one of his friends recommended him a new Italian restaurant located in Amoy Street. He thought it would be nice to try it out together for the 1st time.

The little restaurant wasn’t difficult to find though it hides near a corner of Amoy Street. It was a small and cozy restaurant which probably could take in not more than 50 persons. Minowa-san told us that the Chef was Japanese and he wondered if he could cook Italian cuisine well.

We ordered set lunch to play safe… when our appetizers were served; I was really amazed by the presentation. It was a CUP of soup, a mini-bowl salad and 2 slices of pork. Very cute indeed and it was my very 1st time having to SIP the soup… very interesting indeed.

I ordered Seafood Risotto and thank God it wasn’t MINI! Hahahaah… it was really delicious. Minowa-san had the beef and Linda ordered Pene pasta. I would say… all were GREAT! We were impressed by the food and the cute food presentation and Steady La… Jap Chef!

The dessert was tiny I must say but guess after the starters and the main, it’s good enough for our stomach though it was mini…
caramel pudding
chocolate brownie

I guess I will go back for dinner next time...

Farewell Boss

Have not tried waking at 5:45am for a long long time! Woke up this morning feeling really tired and extremely sleepy; I even had a mixed feeling if I should go to the airport to send my boss off! Anyway, I decided to go finally since my eyes are already opened wide!



We have planned to meet everyone at the airport at 7am as Miyazaki-san’s flight was 8:20am which I thought he was kind of inconsiderate lor… it’s a SUNDAY leh… sighz… Everyone was on time and he arrived at 7am Premier Check-in area.





While waiting for time to pass, we entertained ourselves by taking video and photos for keepsake. I would say that I can’t bear to see him return to Japan as he was a really nice boss. At around 7:30am, he finally checked himself in and departed….











There were no tears though we thought some of us will be crying at the airport but it was a happy farewell instead… all smiles.
