late post for sat (24 oct 09)

well, i shall blog a little about my outing with my sec school friends, which was on Sat ( 24th Oct 09).. to celebrate a belated birthday party for Sharon... we went to K box @ Clementi.. (from around 2p.m. cuz i was a little late..hehe to 645pm) K box session was quite fun.. but the room quite cold..haha..

After singing, we took bus 106 to Heeren, to eat Pasta De Waraku.. we thought it would be crowded as it was a sat night.. but it was empty.. haha. when we reached there.. it was around 730p.m. or so le.. all of us were hungry le.. so we ate first, without waiting for Pui Han.. Pui Han came along later, slightly after 8pm... she said she only slept one hour cuz she was the official for a race event..(can't remember the name le.. oops)

well, I ordered the salmon and salmon roe pasta. The pasta came with cream soup. The pasta was nice, and the cream soup wasn't too thick..so its not bad... all of us had student card.. so we were entitled 25% off...but actually it wasn't THAT alot of discount.. let me explain what i mean.

25% discount was before applying 10% service & 7% GST. furthermore, the 7% GST is applied on top of the 10% service charge as "service charge are taxable". So let x be the price of pasta on the menu.

Final price = x * (0.75) * (1.10) * (1.07) = (0.88275) x

Therefore, the overall discount was 11.725%...which I personally felt it wasn't that much.. cuz my pasta was $12.80, in the end i paid $11.30 ( savings of $1.50 only)

Yeah, 25% discount is better than nothing.. but its just me la... $11 bucks for a bowl of pasta, a bowl of salad, which was nice by the way... i won't frequent it as it's a tad too expensive...

ok.. lets not talk about maths.. after tat, we didn't know wad to do. as it was around 930pm.. some said have to reach home early.. so some of them suggested walking from Heeren all the way to raffles city... only got one person complain( shall not mention names.. haha)

and walk we did... and we chatted along the way walking there.. quite a nice experience.. but by the time we reached the mrt station.. we had to drink water and sit down..hahah.. so we took the train and headed home...

it was nice and fun meeting up with them( my sec school friends) again.. and the next time we would be meeting will be the class gathering yl and I are organising... which is on 21st Dec...

so now, have to study hard.. oh ya.. talking abt study.. i took some time to blog this.. as i decided i had to read up for my econs quiz which was today(monday).. but last night, when i wanted to sign in and blog.. its either my internet ( singnet) was becoming "turtle-speed" or the problem is with blogshop itself.. it took ages to sign in blogshop.. and after signing in, the page wasn't loaded properly... i can't click anything inside the dashboard... so i gave up blogging last night..
