Missing satay man!

It was once again time for a monthly Litigation Department Chill Out tea. New "concept" being paid for by the partners in the department. Supposed to be used to encourage interaction between the lawyers, secretaries and support staff in the department but as usual that doesn't really happen, sure there will be interaction amongst the lawyers, interaction amongst the secretaries and support staff but no interaction amongst say the lawyers and secretaries. Best part is this time round practically none of the partners attended!!! I don't expect my boss to attend cos he's not really into these kind of things plus he's on a diet (well supposed to be - he's like the asian Indian version of Santa Claus hahaha). Apparently the budget for this shingding is supposed to be about $500 - $600 and it's divided between 2 partners each time. I'd have to say that this month's was a total disaster!

For starters, rather than catering the tea, the decided to go with "hand-picked" menu items. Basically they ordered curry puffs (potato and sardine), fish balls and soon kuen. There was supposed to a satay man serving up fresh satay but he didn't show up till like 5.45 pm!!! (The tea was supposed to start at 4.30 pm) If you wanted to get the satay, you'd have to wait for him to finish setting up his little bbq, get the fire going and then cook the satay...in other words, you'd be having it after 6 pm which is after quitting time - no thanks. He apparently was also the supplier of the mee siam. Luckily for me I don't like mee siam so shall just forgo on having the satay.

Well it's 6 pm, which means it's quitting time and I'm off to meet my sis and then head on home to get ready to watch Survivor: Gutamala!!! Woohoo the return of Survivor.
