day - twelve and beyond

Ain’t gonna update day 12. The day mainly consists of shopping and clubbing at 6th Street. Will be leaving for Penang on day 13. Gonna stop at Chicago before transit at London. Will update if manage to find an internet kiosk.

It’s a long journey home. And I can’t wait to do that.

day - eleven

Our days begin to lighten up. We’ve basically wrapped up whatever discussions we had at work. And so, we’re kinda hanging out without really working. Shawn (one of the seniors) was here and brought both myself and cheecheongfun out for lunch.

I’ve forgotten what the place called but, it’s basically BBQ. With dressed to kill waitresses. Tight T’s with hot pants so short that it actually flares out their tushy. Goddamn. It’s a nosebleeding event. How’s the lunch ? I don’t fucking know, coz we’re concentrating too much on the 6 ft something blonde bombshell waitress walking about.

Evening, went to have dinner with Keith & wife, together with my asian colleagues. Big crowd. Keith brought us to a nice place called Sam’s boat. This time, we’re going there not because of the waitresses. We’re going there for oysters. Damn good oysters. Taken raw with radish and some kind of chilli sauce … mixed with tabasco and cholula (a type of mexican hot sauce). It was out-of-this world. Cheap too. With 25 cents per oyster (it’s big in size), 3 of us took 72 oysters (the rest does not eat raw food). I treated them all.

Then, went to a biker gathering event - which was held every Thursday at Austin. pictures to follow.

day - nine & ten

*it’s all about food now.

day nine
- again, had mexican food for lunch. Heck, i’ve eaten so much mexican food that I belch in Spanish now.
- cheecheongfun paid for my bill. And Dave’s bill. And Jason’s. Maybe he isn’t that bad after all, if for not for his bad breath and noisy eating habit.
- lab was moved to a new building. Old & musty building. With strict guard. Stupid guards.
- dismissed work at 5pm. Had an appointment at 7 for dinner with colleagues.
- dinner at Joe’s Crabshack. Had crab as big as a Malaysian sewer rat. It’s fucking big. And nice… super nice. Think gonna go there again for more crabs before I leave this Saturday.

day ten
- had an unbelievable lunch. Goddamn. 5 bucks … for an eternity supply of the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. And that includes the splendid tasting pasta, salad, choc fudge and lasagna that you can ever imagine. 5 fucking bucks. What a deal.
- pizza was so good, that i did not notice how much noise did cheecheongfun make. A mexican patron does though.
- went for shopping after work. Bought a lot of stuffs for friends and Emily. I’m broke.
