Restaurant hunting

Its a busy day as I was on mc the day b4. Supposed to have an IT meeting yesterday but due to my absence, it was postponed and I had to arrange again obviously. These people in my dept just cun be more independent... hai~

Initially decided to postpone the meeting to next Tuesday but one colleague said she might take leave, coz its school holidays so I tried asking my boss if 10am was ok. Another colleague will be on leave in the afternoon so cun too. She replied yes so as I proceeded to arrange and inform everyone, trying to kapok a room from a colleague as all other rooms were fully occupied. Then my boss called me and told me she cun make it coz need to rush out something... *many lines*. So I had no choice but to put in on Monday afternoon, very unwillingly as Mondays are always blue! Where got mood to have meeting, somemore with her!!

Was thinking whether to go lunch shopping or not until some colleagues dragged me along to the IT Show. Din want to go coz nothing much to buy and it will be damn crowded, which I hate. Anyway went with them coz cun make up my mind too and true enough, it was damn packed. The weather was also especially hot but lucky I had my umbrella with me! Really cun do without an umbrella nowdays, call me auntie I dun care... I rather stay away from the harmful rays of the sun and spoil my beautiful face hahaha...

Met Web at Chinatown after work to start our wedding banquet venue hunting. Started off with Spring Court at Upper Cross Street (shophouses opp Hong Lim/ Chinatown Point) but found the hall (1st floor) too cramped and too many pillars. Most of the people probably wun be able to view the low and small stage. We then had our dinner at the nearby chicken rice coffeeshop then took a bus down to check out the next restaurant (Habour City) on our list at PSA building. The restaurant looked ok but abit out of the place and too far. It was also located inside an office building thus quite quiet after office hours.

Left the place wanting to take a bus down to Harbourfront but took the wrong one as it headed to Jurong side (wrong direction and not going to Harbourfront). We had no choice but to alight few bus stops down and crossed the road to take another bus to Harbourfront. Luckily got some rebates else really waste money. Finally reached Harbourfront Centre and checked out the 88 Restaurant 1st at Harbourfront Tower 2. We liked the place as we enter as it was spacious and bright, with a few crystal chandaliers at the tall ceiling. Unfortunately, the date we wanted had been booked thus we need to either look at other dates or find other restaurants.

Walked over to Harbourfront Centre to check out the next restaurant (Dragon Gate) on the 4th floor. It was quite difficult to find if you go by the wrong lift. Its actually at the side where the cruise centre is thus we had to walk through the carpark as we used the lift from Harbourfront Centre. This restaurant was where my friend last held her wedding banquet about 6 years ago. Its been a long time and I really had vivid impressions of the place. The big hall was too big for us and the smaller one was too small. The other medium size one had been booked. Anyway we dun quite like the place as its too inaccessible.

Finally able to take a break after all the running around and had a drink at Mac b4 leaving for home. Will need to check out more restaurants tomorrow...
