Today was NOT a lucky day. Early in the morning turned up for an important meeting at potential client's place, only to find out the high level person was on medical leave (and we WEREN'T informed). So it was a wasted trip, to be rescheduled.
Late in the afternoon, was rushing to Jurong East to meet another client. The blur taxi driver missed the exit on the expressway and ended at Jurong West! So he made an U-turn back on the expressway. Then he made another wrong turn and I ended up in Clementi instead! He was very apologetic and said he would refund back a little amount back from the cab fare to me at the end of the trip. But the problem was, I was ALREADY late. I just wanted him to REACH the place asap. He was talking nonstop. When we finally reached the place, he took such a loooong time to calculate the final cab fare he wanted to charge me, and kept explaining and explaining, when I didn't even scold him. I just wanted to get out of the cab FAST.
Then it took me some time to find the client's office, as the whole industrial building was GIGANTIC. And I was given the wrong directions by 2 persons working inside the building. I ended walking one BIG round. And the session with client was not fantastic either, as she rattled on and on about her not-up-to-par employees. Gosh, it was a tiring day.
Met up with Buddy for dinner at Swensons in Airport T2. We tried the Crayfish Bee Hoon Soup. The steamed crayfish and bee hoon was in a very thick milky broth, sprinkled with Japanese mushrooms. And the soup base was very nice. I liked the very milky type of soup, the very lemak type. The Chicken Baked Rice was also nice with the tender fried breaded chicken baked over savory rice with cheese in white sauce. And both of us had our own favourite ice cream to end the meal. I was damn hungry ( I only had brunch) after the whole day's ordeal. I HOPE life gets better than TODAY.
