Company lunch

Today was Jeston's field trip to Punggol Park.  He din wanna return home last night but i insisted he do so as I need to stick the insect repellent sticker and applied insect repellent lotion for him.  Placed his hat inside his school bag too.  We then sent him to school where Ms Maisy opened the door for us.  I promised to let him stay at Ah ma's house tonight.  Ate half of the bun with custard i bot on wednesday for breakfast.

We headed to Oosters for lunch around 12 plus.  It was reserved by my new colleague, Y who had been to the place before.  We ordered pork knuckle, steak, cod fish, mussels, salad, roasted pumpkin soup and beer.  The roasted pumpkin soup was disappointing as it tasted quite sweet and seemed artificial.  We shared the mussels in white wine which was quite tasty.  Jo and i ordered the fruit beers, Peach and Raspberry.  Raspberry tasted nicer and both contained 4% alcohol.  Also tried other beer ordered by my other colleagues. S and H ordered juices instead.

The pork knuckle was served with several potato malls.  It appeared quite a big serving cos of the big bone.  Jo cut the pork knuckle for me and we shared the pork.  Her cod fish with hoe garden was nice and served with broccoli and steamed potato.  S's steak looked a but bloody and she also ordered a banana dessert which was quite yummy....tasted like egg tart with strawberries and bananas.  I ate the strawberries as S said she dun take these.  I couldn't finish the potato balls.  Anyway, the pork knuckle was also a disappointment as the meat was dry and a bit tough and the skin not as crispy.  The entire lunch cost about S$510 for 10 pax.  It was to welcome our 2 new colleagues as well as to celebrate the completion of the quarterly closing done.

After the lunch, we headed back to office.  I was rushing another deliverable for the client who wanted it by today.  Made myself a cup of white town kopi otherwise i guess i may doze off after the heavy meal.  I managed to rush out the stuff by around 6 plus.  Took the mrt to Toa Payoh to meet James and my MIL for dinner.  James had got the queue no and they were having dinner at one of the coffeeshop as Jeston got no. 9 to see 许医师 at room 4.  He hadn't seen him since early Sep before we left for Perth.  We needed to consult him again as his cough returned and he's very heaty as his stools were hard.

My MIL had made a chinese tea to help him to urinate otherwise it could be worse as his urine was very yellowish and he seldom urinate.  I shared fish slice bee hoon with my MIL as i had a heavy lunch.  James had fish slice soup with rice.  Jeston was playing with his leapfrog scribble and write and then carried on to watch ipad while we enjoyed our dinner.  James headed for NTUC to help my MIL get some stuff while we returned to Chung Hwa Hospital.  It was only at no. 5.  We waited for a while and James joined us.  It was finally his turn.  许医师 prescribed medicine for his sensitive nose and his constipation.  He told us he's only doing relieve teaching as he's a retired chinese teacher.

We then sent my MIL back home.  Jeston followed her as i had promised him to stay for the night.  James and i then headed to hougang for tau suan and he bot the black glutinous rice.
