Life's been good after recently, much less burping and bloat during the evenings. And I'm starting to like the taste of meat. Yesterday WW and I went for dinner at Werner's Oven. He ordered the veal sausage while I ordered semmelknodel, the German bread dumpling. We both liked the veal sausage as it was simply delicious. Sweet meat and taste came from every chew, yummy. Since our trip to Germany and Austria in 2004, I've wanted to try the semmelknodel (I'm a fan of bread) but didn't have the chance to. The best try was a semmelknodel instant packet, where you add water to the flour mix to get your end product. That was bought from Austria back then. So it was quite a novelty to try the real thing here in Singapore, at the little warm and hospitable German restaurant.

Farewell Dinner for Jennifer @ Brewerkz, 22 September 2007

Jennifer's leaving for Japan, Tokyo in a few weeks' time and will be there for 2-3 years on an overseas posting. A dear friend I got to know through our German class and we managed to clique after the first few lessons, perhaps through our hardworking approach to studying (aka studying together for tests and the big exam) and our common background. We both were from VJC, separated by just one batch.

She invited not only me but WW, which was a very nice gesture since it's the weekend when WW and I spend times together. Adrian and Gil were also invited as they were colleagues with Jennifer at a point in time at Mindef. Small world, since Adrian and I got to know each other too through last year in NUS SOC and now work in the same company.

Wishing Jen all the best!

The view to the sea
The Christmas tree set up on the 22nd floor
At NUSS Guild House, Suntec City. We were having our "trading" games.
It started with friendly and courteous negotiations at the round-table..
.. which evolved into some snatching and pulling.
I had to guard my items well! Unexpected surprises bound to strike..
See! Don't pull away my items!
Picking up the pieces after all the haggling... tiring siah!
My "family" of the day
Human Christmas tree!
