Thai Steamboat & drinking with ex-colleagues

The Thai steamboat 'farewell' dinner for my already left ex-colleague Alicia finally happened. We hitch a ride on a supplier's van to Golden Mile Complex to meet up with Alicia.

I still remembered this pungent smell choking us when we entered the complex through 1 of the smaller entrances. It was a small corridor which is like a 'mini wet market'. The smell hit me left, right, center & made me want to run away fast!! It was a mixture of sour vegetable & stale meat blah blah blahh....

Anyway, it was my first time having Thai steamboat and it was not too bad but not really fantastic. We were served with 2 huge metal pots: it was a combination of BBQ and soup steamboat.

Gone were the days when we were working under the same roof with Alicia =(

We cleared up the food within an hour! And went for 2nd round: DESSERTS

7.
We are like criminals locked at the back of the Van!!


We met up with Sonia (friend + ex-colleague) at 1 of the dessert house at Liang Seah street. Ben drove us there from Golden Mile. No photos of the desserts place because we were too busy sharing exciting stories & intense gossips!!

Cat & Elaina left after dessert because they have to work on Sat morning (5 1/2 days work shift sucks big time) and the remaining few: Ben, myself, Alicia & Sonia went for drinks =)

My company's ex-purchasers: Alicia & Sonia

Beauty shot from my Ex1 gave us smooth skin.

Nothing beats chillax with great company & ice cold beer. Nice catching up with them once in a while and it's great to find out that they are actually doing pretty well after leaving my current company!!

 The grand finale: Sonia cheating as usual!! My veins are bursting!!

The only memory I have left after the waterfall drink is getting on a cab, alighting somewhere near my flat & somehow made my way home.

Bye.
