Specially for my reader "Cucumber"!

Some time ago, when I wrote about giving a farewell treat to my friend, Jian Wei, a reader asked me where this place was. I told him that I will let him know once my friend had a chance to call me from China and actually give me the address.

Well, she finally did call and I did remember my promise to find out exactly where this Hot Pot place where we ate was. It's at 12 Jalan Ayer just across the road from the Kallang MRT. I even stopped by just to take a picture of the place.

This place seems pretty popular with Chinese people in Singapore, and I am not so sure why. Maybe the food is just to their taste or the price is reasonable. It certainly was good and the price must not be too bad if I can afford it!

Well, "Cucumber", so make sure you go and let me know what you think of the food there!

Farewell my friend!

Sunday was my friend, Jian Wei's last day in Singapore. On Monday, she will be flying back to China and she has no plans to come back to work again... at least for now. Besides being a great friend when I had the opportunityt work with her in Chai Chee, she is also the reason I am able to come back and work for my ex-boss again. Otherwise, I could have been stuck at Bread Junction for the next two years. I had always wanted to continue to work for my ex-boss and I am really really happy that this opportunity has materialize. I will cherish this job for sure!

Please don't get me wrong! I'm grateful for Bread Junction for offering me a job but I really felt like I was pushed around like a... like a... "spare tire". I'm OK if the company compensates me for all the transportation going back and forth, sometimes twice a day to different locations... but then again, that's a subject for another post!

I met up with Jian Wei on Sunday to bid her farewell and had a good steamboat dinner with her near the Kallang MRT. The place was crowded with Chinese Nationals. Somehow, we Chinese have a habit of congregating together, don't we?

We caught up on old times and she gave me some tips on working at the new location located at the Ministry of Education on North Buona Vista Drive. I also thank her for the opportunity she had opened up for me and I sincerely hoped we will continue to keep in touch as good friends are not so easy to come by.

Thank you Jian Wei (if you are reading this)... I wish you well, I wish you a pleasant journey and I hope to see you again!
