Au Revoir, Audrey
Today was a full day. If you see my PDA, for once it's cluttered with so many appointments. From interviews to dentist appointment. The latter was not my favorite, as later on I have to suffer on missing out on good food at Lerk Thai in Marina Square, the place that we decided to throw the farewell dinner for Audrey.
It was raining outside, and after a long day, I managed to find a corner in Coffee & Toast at Citylink to relax a bit and wait until people start coming. I wrote scribbles on my diary pertaining to some walk of my life until Dee came. We discussed what songs that we would like to sing for the caregroup the next day. Audrey was the next person who come. She thought Dee was just going to ask her out for a private dinner, so she was elated to have other people coming. Taeko, Chris and Jon joined us and then we marched on, trying to decide which restaurant worth our visit. Jon came up with the suggestion of a good restaurant (or so he said :P ) in Marina Square that has some herbal soup and what not. Ducks were on the menu also. But when we got there, the line was impossibly long; 1 hour wait. Our stomachs were not as patient, so we decided on the Thai restaurant next door. DJ came and joined us later on.
Here's the thing with letting the guys order for food... They would order a lot, as though want to feed a small army, considering one of them... a.k.a. me was 'injured' and would not be up to the task. The dentist really tightened my braces so tight, that I couldn't chew even the softest things like Tofu. It's just a painful chore, no matter how my growling stomach suggested otherwise. But the guys were gentlemen, tho, beside laughing at my discomfort, they helped picked the best food for me. Even offered a joke or two that would alleviate my mood, tho at my expense. But laughter is the best medicine. No matter that the jokes are on you. Well, as long as it's nothing personal, hehehe... (Hmmm, too busy with my teeth, I forgot to take picture of the food)
Audrey then received an SMS from Sidney saying "Hi" to all of us. She also said that she couldn't take spicy stuff, but like the spicy mango salad. And it's not a forever farewell, since she promised to be back around next year when her job offer is renewed.
On the way home, Audrey was talking about the custom in France of giving people kisses as greetings. May it be hello or goodbyes. Me... I'm anticipating with my camera, ready to shoot whatever reactions that the guys would have. Too bad that they didn't happen, hehehe. Audrey also said that the custom varies as how many 'kisses' you would give to some people. For example there're the regular kissy kissy left to right and then there's also the 3 times or 4. She said that when the family members are way too many, the task would be tiring. Hence sometimes, they stroke a deal first as how much is the kissy-kissy should be done. I thought that was funny.
Au revoir mon ami... See you next year!
