Unexpected changes has been happening throughout the day. My original plan it to go to work to clear my Ascott Accounts and to meet JH and QY at cineleisure at night for movie; The Pursuit of Happiness. But then early in the morning, i received an email from my manager saying that another client of mine has brought forward their reporting deadline from 16 Mar to 9 Mar (this fri!), thus i need to arrange for a site visit and to clear off all the things. So, not doing of ascott today, but to clear off the other company first.
Then at abt 1150am, i suddenly felt the building shaking. A small tremble. But as my colleague was rubbing something, so i tot he was the one shaking the table. But a second or two later, i felt the building swaying! Its not trembling this time, but yes, its swaying. Soon, we were given orders to evacuate from the building. Its only when we reached the main lobby did we realise the seriousness of it. Its total chaos there! There are so many ppl and everyone seems so lost. The security guards started chasing ppl out of the building and we realised that the other buildings along Shenton Way has also did the same thing. The checking of building took a few hrs and we couldnt even get back to our office by 2pm. Thus my company declared half day off and we were to go back and get our things and to leave the office premises asap (yes, its that serious..lol). The shake was due to Earthquake at Sumatera in Indonesia measuring 6.3! No wonder we can feel the tremble. While i am happy that we got this unexpected half day off, but on the other hand, i felt sad for the victims.
As i am meeting JH and QY at night in Orchard and not wanting to go home and come out again. I went to TOS to look for Law. So second plan of the day : To stay at TOS to continue my work till 6pm and to meet JH at HF at 630pm. But alas, Law said he wanna go Bo Tian to deliever the food that we bought the other day. So again change of plan. This time : to leave TOS at 530pm and to make it back in Orchard by 7pm.
Bo Tian is located at Chim Bee Road and is a home for the aged whereby they housed approximately 20+ old folks (free of charge). They also collect donated food items, repack them and distribute them to old folks in the poorer neighbour. Packing is done every sat and sun and distribution is done every Wed and Fri night. They also have free vegetatrain food on every first and fifteen of the lunar calendar. All packing and distribution of food stuffs are done by volunteers. Thus if anyone is interested, can go there to help out. For more information, can

We got them some rice, biscuits, bee hoon and canned food
When we reached Cineleisure, Law decided to have dinner before gg home. Since he is already at the cinema, i felt so bad to let him go home alone while we go for our movie. And as god had realised that, he helped me! There is one unoccupied seat beside the 3 that i have booked online. So its fate lah har...lol....thus in the end, he joined us for the movie. Sorry JH and QY that i did not inform u guys earlier tat Law would be joining. But as u guys has asked me to ask him along the night before, so i guess u all wont mind right :P Anyway, its a nice and touching movie. Espcecially the part whereby Will Smith slept in the "cave" (toilet) with his son and he used his leg to prevent the person from opening the toilet door! I can really felt how lost and desperate he was at that time. Also at another scene, whereby his son dropped his only toy and Will Smith keep dragging him away to catch the bus. I really felt like slapping him! Overall, its a must see movie!
In order to spend that $200, we ordered a bottle of Midori. Its a melon flavour liquidur and it cost $150. The taste is sweet and its quite nice. At last i found a type of wine that is sweet! They also mentioned that dessert wine are sweet also...hmm..maybe next time can try that.
