yummi in my tummi

Last Wednesday was our last chance to entertain the Germans. Christian and Markus were leaving early on the next day. So Elaine invited some of us to dinner at Tiong Bahru. While Christian and Markus would be leaving, we got another German that will stay with us for at least 6 months. His name is Jurgen. But unlike the previous two, this one will go to Gabriel and Jun Ming's caregroup.

Most of us reached the meeting place (Tiong Bahru's McDonalds) on time. About 7.30 pm. And we hang out there waiting for some more to come and also Jurgen, the new kid on the block.

There's some funny little things that happen while waiting for Jurgen to come. Peishan supposedly come and joined us for dinner, but she would be late and so she called me asking for the exact meeting place for dinner. Now, since I thought Jun Ming would know the place (plus, Elaine was talking to Christian, hence can't be bothered), I told Peishan that I'll let Jun Ming talk to her. At the end of phone conversation, Jun Ming 'scolded' me saying that I told Peishan that his name is Jermaine. Beside feeling semi guilty and embarassed because of it, I thought the whole thing was funny. On my mind, a big black guy just gotten a bit miffed, hehehe. Sorry if my Chinese tonal pronounciation needs tuning, hahaha. But I seriously said Jun Ming, not Jermaine. Honest. :P After calling my joke to Christian lame, I got to laugh a bit at Jun Ming when he introduced himself to Jurgen as James. Perhaps it's better if he say it like this (another lame attempt to joke, hahaha), "Wong, James Wong." Hahaha. Oh and he also asked Dee whether Dee thinks Jurgen handsome. Such a random thought. Hahaha.

We reached the restaurant at about 10 minutes before 8pm. Elaine said that we're always late whenever we want to set a time to have a gathering. Hehehe... she hadn't got much dealing with Indonesians I suppose (I mean, I got friend who was once even 4 hours late, without a real tangible explanation. For some reason the Indonesian culture that I know kind of always like to be late and people would come later, because thinking that the others would be even later... It never ends). I thought we're quite on time, considering that we reached the rendesvouz place at 7.30pm. On the dot :P

The eating place was a small restaurant seemingly not too promising, since there was hardly many customers. We would pretty much made the most population in the place. Sitting arrangements started to be formed while waiting for the rest of us to come.

Later on, I have to admit that I made a premature judgment on the restaurant. The food was good. I like the steam fish and the tofu (that's a given) and the rest were qite nice too. It's awesome to see that Edmond be able to have fun and laugh with us again. And we also had fun joking around with the Germans...

(note: this post been stuck for quite sometimes from completion, so I might as well already blurred on the details, hehehe... today's date is 9/13/06 :P)
