Taurus 3 One Year Anniversary Gathering!

Wee... about 15 people attended - David, Xiang Jue, Wayne, Guan Wei, Frank, Ivan, Nicholas, Kim Tee, De Zhi, Cheng Jin, Shi Han...Couple of people couldn't make it at the last minute. Some were recall back, others "report sick"... LOL.

Went to this "Mirana Hotel" (SP?) place to have lunch buffet. Was kind of ex ($20) but you got to eat to your hearts content... We ordered every item on the menu in "5 packs 8 packs"... I think the manager also stun... The food is not bad, lots of Dim Sum, especially prawns, prawns and more prawns... Fried and steamed...

Talk a lot about old times loh basically. Haha... and of course how's everyone doing currently. It's like an "eye-opener", cause you get to know about like a dozen of other vocations you never knew about before. Also got some info about some of the more prominent figures in the platoon, like Chia and Kenneth Soo. Ha ha... anyway a lot of us in different places now. Some are specs, some are sirs, some on land and some on sea. Some are super slack... Some drop PES until cannot drop liao... And some... went on the "Route of no return" - Sign On.

*Oh yeah. And I finally confirmed with David about Ken. He actually told me Ken is a 酒鬼... LOL.

Most of them didn't have any plans after the lunch. So I managed to convince them to visit Suntec with me, for the Games Asia Convention. Heh... But in the end only Wayne, Xiang Jue, Guan Wei and Shi Han went to visit the exhibitions with me...

Hmm... the exhibition is like a "Mini E3" I guess. The most prominent booths includes EA, Blizzard, Sony and Nitendo. Blizzard nothing much going on except playing videos of WoW and Starcraft II, and cosplayers dressed up as elves and mages...

EA is busy promoting their latest Sims 2 expansion (Expansion no. wat liao?) Bon Vovage, and games like Simcity Socities. Nintendo got those show girls running around everywhere O_O... promoting Wii and DS, what else. Sony Playstation occupied nearly 1/5 of the floor I think. Lots of PS3 games. We actually spent most of our time there watching Ninja Gaiden.

Also going on are "DOTA" and "Counter Strike" tournaments. Of course there were also some schools like what Art Academy at the show. Nanyang Polytechnic was there as well! Went to take a look around at their Final Year Projects (I supposed)... not bad... not bad at all...

Jack came and joined us for a while... (Wah... I think I might have a chance to see him quite a lot...) before leaving. After that we went to Swensens for a little more TC session...

Actually discover that a number of my BMT mates also have the university deferment problem like me (namely Guan Wei and David). Guan Wei took a very similar path to me in fact... Haha. He applied for both NUS School of Computing and NTU Computer Science last year, but he choose NUS in the end. Yesterday, he told me he might want to jump over to NTU... LOL! If that's true we might become classmates~

1 more year lo~!
