Many a times, there are things which you do not expect to turn out and they do turn out in the way you least expect them too. Disappointments, disappointments, disappointments.
I was supposed to meet up with a friend for dinner and he said he would be there between 6 to 6.15pm. As it turned out, today's my club's chapter meeting and the person in charge of refreshments could not make it. I decided then to go to Holland Village right after work to get the refreshments even before my dinner appointment. So I reached there at 5.40pm as it was really only a stone's throw from my work place. Really appreciate the amount of time that I can save after I started driving. Anyway, that was besides the point. The point is that I rushed from Tanjong Pagar to Holland Village (in 15 minutes) so that I can get there earlier and have ample time to finish my shopping and still be on time, if not early for dinner appointment.
And so as planned, I finished buying the refreshments at Crystal Jade at 5.50pm and was walking to find a place to rest my feet when I received an sms from my friend to say that he will be late and probably reaching at 6.45pm. And well, so I waited and when he finally called at 6.45pm to say that he has reached my club meeting venue and that he did not feel like eating.
I thought it would have been much better to have informed me earlier so that I can take dinner on my own during the one hour plus which I had waited. Just so happened that I didn't eat lunch today. Oh well...

Usually I try not to have dinner if I were to attend a tmc meeting. Or I would not be able to join the rest for refreshments.
Maybe in our club we usually have quite a little feast, as I often do the cooking.
If I were hungry, I would just take a little snack before a meeting. Also when we rush, we tend to lose our appetite.
By the way, wish me luck. Am delivering my humorous speech at our Area U3 contest in one and a half hours' time at our office at Park Mall!
Cheers! Take care, and don't overwork.
