A farewell dinner was organised. We were supposed to meet 6.30pm at Marina Bay MRT. I was already going to be late and it happened that I will be even later coz I went to help an 80-yr-old uncle who had fallen down.
He was burning offerings with his wife along the pavement when all of the sudden his legs gave way and he fell backwards. He was trying to get up by himself slowly when I saw him. Many people had said before, when an old person falls down, DO NOT help them up! Coz their blood might just rush up suddenly and they may faint or something. (Lemme noe if u noe the true scientific explanation ;p)
I don't know how true is that, but I rather believe it than to regret later. So I allowed him to stand up slowly before I held onto him. The auntie who had alerted me that the old man had fallen down came forward to help, too. As we were holding onto him, another uncle came to help, too.
As his wife continued to burn the offerings, we helped him to the void deck and let him rest there. He asked for his walking stick which is at his house. Following his neighbour who I happened to know, I went up to his house to get his walking stick from his daughter.
His daughter was sitting at the sofa enjoying her apple. When I told her that I need to get the walking stick from her coz her dad had fallen down, she was not a bit worried at all! She was even happier when I tell her that I will bring down the walking stick coz she would not need to go down on her own *Dumbfounded*
I passed the walking stick to the old uncle who said that he wanted to rest there for a while more before going back home with his wife, and I left for the gathering with the girls.
I took a cab and since Huixian is at Aljunied MRT, I went there to pick her up and go to Marina South together. We wanted to pick Julia up at Marina Bay MRT too. But Julia wanted to wait for the rest of the girls and so we went straight to Marina South 1st to look for seats 1st.
In the end, Lora and her bf-to-be went to pick Lei and Edmund, so Julia ended up alone at the MRT waiting for Min and Xian. I guess she was getting a little impatient ;) But tonight is her day, so she was not angry at all, hahaha... guess she knows our style liao. Being late is like a practice, but I am trying to get rid of it soon, back to the old punctual me.
Having Steamboat can be really messy, oily and sweaty... But it was quite fun once in a while :)
Look at our food *yummy*
Group photos (Taken with the help of a stranger who's eating there too)Look at our food *yummy*
After the Dinner, Lora and her bf-to-be went home 1st. Actually I appreciate Lora's effort for coming down with her sore throat... The rest of us went for Bowling, even thou Edmund did not bowl. We splitted into 2 teams. Lei, Xian and Me one team. Min, Yuan and Huixian another team.
Look at our poise
