L’Angelus.
It was very romantic on the outside of the restaurant. They
decorated it well with bright small flowers. It looks like a typical European small
cottage. Inside of the restaurant was hanging with many special French posters.
The brown and dim yellow lights create a very soothing and calm place to relax
after a long day of work. I was 5 mins late, as I have to walk from Chinatown
MRT and rely on google map to bring me to the correct place. I was afraid that I
am unable to find the place at first, but I did it still. Hooray to me!!
We were given menus (food/wine) to choose our dinner. I had
Escagots for starter and Roasted duck breast cooked medium as my main. When my
duck came, it was embarrassing. I ate it. Then subsequently I realized I have
to wait for the sides. (yah! Whatever!) Accompanied by fantastic red wine, I must
say the dinner was really first-class
I will patronize again.
I was a little out of place during the dinner. New colleagues
spoke English slang. I had some difficulties understanding it. They are made up
of Singaporean, Norwegians and Indians. Lucky I am able to grasp what they are
talking about after 15 mins into the dinner. I tried to join in the
conversations, but mostly, I sat there listening and smiling. I rather stay
quiet then talking something unnecessary. It was our first meeting afterall; I am
trying not to look bad.
After the dinner, it lessens the discomfort of all the
concerns I have previously of having to be sent to Norway for a month. I realized
every single one of them travels a lot. Some of them were torment by the cold
winter when heater wasn’t available. I should count myself very lucky to be
sent to Norway during their autumn. If they can do it, why can’t I?
I am looking forward to having the opportunity to work in
Norway in September/October. I am going to take lots of pictures. One day, when
I have children and grandchildren, I am going to SHOW OFF. Ahahahhahaa!!!
You can do it FANNIE… HWAITING!!!
