Of My First Business Dinner, HK Trip and SIA

I had a Dell Training on Wednesday.
It went pretty well, just a training on a new integrated system.
It started at 9.30am at IBP, so I had the privilege of sleeping until 8.20am.
And I can take a cab there!! Haha.
Then we had Japanese lunch at Hong Leong Garden.
Reached office only at about 2pm.
My colleagues finished all my work so I was kinda free.
Till 6pm, me and my nominated colleague had to go dinner with Dell again.
Went to a Korean restaurant at Tanjong Pagar, Amara Hotel.
The meat was so succulent I should bring my friends there next time.
One thing about having dinner with all these adults is that they will drink alot.
OK, I call them adults because I'm like super young there.
They ordered Tiger Beer, Soju, Wine.
And my boss kept asking me to drink because he said that he had never seen an underage drink before.
They call me underage. Haha.
I tried a little bit of Soju because my boss wanted me to try.
Then they ordere the most expensive wine in the restaurant - The Plum Wine with tiny bits of Gold inside.
I feel that it's such a waste to drink it up I kept wanting to bring home and sieve out the gold. Haha.
Then had a little bit of Black Raspberry Wine.
The dinner ended at about 9+pm.
My friend then brought me to a club also inside the Amara Shopping Arcade.
It's a club but it's different too.
All the people who go there are Salsa Dancers.
It's super cool to see everyone dancing Salsa together.
Very little alcohol involved and you don't see people getting drunk.
Everyone is just there to make friends, have fun and dance!!
It's an eye opener to me because I never thought clubbing could be like that too!

Oh, about my application to SIA, I've been called back for an interview.
I'm not sure how it will go, and I'm a little nervous about it.
But then to me, it's more of a like, good if I get in, nothing to lose if I fail too.
I've been telling only very few people about it because I'm qite sure most of them will tell me I cannot make it.
I also don't want like a bunch of people asking me the results too, imagine if I fail.
Many people told me they think I will pass too, I hope they really mean it.
Because most of them seemed to give me the reason that they have seen not very pretty air stewardess too.
I don't think it really helps at all.
I'll update again. Haha.

Anyway, 37 more days to HK!!!!
