This is probably the 3rd time I've been to Jumbo as I'm not really a big fan of sea food and I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual as they love to give me spots of rashes if I were to consume them. =Þ
All 3 times gave me quite a good impression as their food is really good... so is their service. As Vincent wasn't around, I was given the opportunity to order the dishes and I was extremely glad to have John sitted beside me to give some opinions. Although I'm trying to learn to take on more responsibility and be decisive, there is still a certain level of stress when I'm ordering for a Director of our company who came to Singapore to discuss our compensation package.

The food was pretty good and I'm glad that Johan and Renaud enjoyed the food. The only problem was that there were too much food for a table of 8.
Didier And 'Tom Cruise' (Piere-Yves)
What is Hans doing...?
Dony and Shawn
After dinner, we brought Yannick, Didier, Piere-Yves and Nicolas to "Crazy Elephant", a pub alongside Clarke Quay to have a few beers. This was the first time I really get to speak to Yannick. My first encounter with him was through the phone and emails, and back them I was really terrified of him as he was really stern and fierce (especially when it comes to work)... but after tonight, I really enjoyed speaking to him... a pity he would be leaving next week as he was here for only a few days to give ITIL training to my fellow colleagues in the office.
After about 2 jugs of beer, we went to Double O and had about another 10 jugs of Whisky Coke, Whisky Green Tea, Vodka Ribena and Vodka Redbull. The music and crowd for the night was definitely better than the few times that we had before. Yannick left earlier as he don't really enjoy clubbing, while the rest of us stayed till the club closed at 3 am.
Considering that it was still early, the 5 of us took cab down to Orchard Towers to let Piere-Yves take a look at Singapore's 'Lady-boys'... Not a fancy place to be at... but it is definitely an eye opener for me. The place... or should I say building was really sleazy with occasional groups of queens seeking business. I believed we went to at least 3 of the pubs in Orchard Towers... each having at least a bottle of beer and queens bothering the caucasians. Somehow, Didier seems really interested in them...? Hee hee.
It was around 6 am when we left the place and I was already pretty wasted by then. My head was spinning from beer intoxication and the lack of sleep... and thanks to an agent from Prudential that called me at 10am the next morning... argh.
In any case, it was quite a interesting night with some really fun-loving colleagues. (:
