concentrate concentrate concentrate. I feel like burning my HR notes.
Anyway, xiao qiang has been in s'pore since sun and he'll be flying off at midnight tonite. So, some of us arranged to meet him while he was in S'pore. I'm still dying to return to beijing when we all had fun last year! Nvm, countdown 2 years till tt trip :)
Its been hell trying to settle the details with him, coz he's living at a hotel in Balestier which is freaking unconvenient for us! also, he can only noe his schedule for the day at a super late notice and somehow so much stuff happened tt we didn't settle the details wif him on sun.
Yesterday, i was waiting and waiting for his phone call. Luckily, he called
at the last minute (near 5pm) when I was about to give up and call off the trip. Thankfully, I could still manage to get some people to meet him too if not the meeting would be very awkward. :/
We had settled on orchard and apparently, xq didn't get my point when I told him to get past the ticket gates and freeze there and wait for us. He called us on a public phone
at the platform. that's when he hasn't even passed the gates. And we were looking frantically at all the telephone booths outside the platform. -_-" Luckily he still managed to make his way thru'
Anyway, we were rather poor hosts for the evening coz we didn't rlly noe wat to say to him :/ and we were all so used to speaking in our
singlish chinese/english that I guess he didn't really understand the jokes we made among ourselves. Cultural gap I guess.
And imagine, we took him to pepper lunch and neoprints! Still, I enjoyed myself (throwing all the HR stuff to the skies) and it was so damn late tt some of us had to take a cab home :/
Hope we would be better hosts when he cums to s'pore again next year March! :)
