Sec 4E4 BBQ Gathering
Sec 4E4 BBQ GatheringI'm gonna be truthful about this event ... Bestie and main organiser Sok Miang, don't get angry and read what I have to say about this, okay. Because it's always good to know of the truth than lies, am I right? I have more complaints than praisement honestly. I don't mean to hurt your feelings, just to let you know. This is my opinion.
1) The food catered is not nice. I do not enjoy the food at all. The Mee Hoon's too plain, or rather taste-less. The rice is definitely a No-no. Stingray's not bad. The marinated chicken and sate ... I don't feel the spices at all! You chose this caterer coz you had it before, right? For me, straight to the point, the food's very bad.
My mom could do it better and I bet one serving is not enough. So next time, if ever there's another gathering ... please let my mom cater, okay? It's cheaper. We'll just have to pay for the model cost. And all of us would enjoy a luxurious spread. I'm not kidding.
2) I'm disappointed that Mdm Noreen couldn't come or rather she was not contactable. I was looking forward to this gathering because of this reason besides meeting my old sec sch friends. Next time,
if there is a next time, inform her of the date of the event weeks in advance, best if you ask for her email address or something so communication is easier. I don't regularly check my friendster honestly, and I'm sure she don't too. Working adults are busy.
3) Changi Beach is so far! Don't be indecisive and book a place weeks in advance, it's best if the BBQ was at Pasir Ris. There's only a few buses in Changi while Pasir Ris has a variety. It's good for you since Bus No. 9 stops near your house area. But think of others leh.
I went off at 9.50pm with Celine and Shu Juan, the waiting time itself took a long time. I reached home only at 11.30pm. I took MRT from Simei btw, decided to drop there. Should be faster else have to take bus opposite TPJC, have to think of waiting time some more. Then took Bus 69 at 11.20pm which is the last bus! Ahhh, thank god I reached there on time else how am I suppose to go home? Cab is too expensive.
So Sok Miang, if there's another gathering next time, please discuss it together and negotiate ...
You may like something, or prefer this or that but some other people may not agree with you. That's where the negotiation comes in. Listen to other's opinion and sometimes you have to give in. You give and take, that's what a negotiation is, right?
If there's another gathering, please let me join. Coz this gathering had been more of a flop than a success though I was quite happy to see our secondary school friends again after so many years ....
Sok Miang, don't be mad at me, okay!!!!!! I've always hated lies and I want you to know the truth or rather my feelings towards this event. After you read this, please don't close one eye. Consider what I've just wrote, please ... Learn from this mistake, yah.
Catering is so expensive so I suggest next time, we should just eat out at Swensens or something. It will be really delicious to the extent that you feel that it's worth your money. A gathering doesn't have to be a BBQ, it could just be hanging out together and eating at a restaurant/food court. For Swensens, I don't mind paying more as long as I eat Delicious Food.
Next time ... Celine, Shu Juan, you and me should eat at Swensens or any other halal restaurant then we can stay for how long we want ... Chat till our food's finish, then can go window shopping. It would be fun ... just hanging out together like this.
That's all for this entry. Pictures will be posted later.
