Be There or Be Square

The day is finally here. A day which my dear table-mate, M, has always been trying very hard to remind me by sticking yellow post'it note on my monitor everyday.

"Dinner with Prof Y! This Sunday"

And I stick the note behind the LCD screen instead. Bahh stop reminding me! Haha. Especially when she herself got trouble remembering it too. The only thing we both can remember is what he said in the emails,

"Marketing girls, can you 2 plan a nice gathering for me and the 4 interns (M, Pau, SiX & me)?"

Marketing girls!!! How degrading it sounds! Both M and me were dying to strangle him for calling us that. But being the usually nice and angelic girls we have always been, we decided to forgive (but nv forget) and plan the gathering.

In his last email to us, "Marina Square. Lovely place. Be there or be square. :)"

So we were joking if we should turn up in boxes.. :P alright. That's spastic.

In order not to be late for this dinner, I stepped out of the house 1 hour earlier in case of jams at Orchard. Surprisingly, traffic was extremely smooth and I reached town in 30 mins time. Meet up with Pau and M at Marina Square's Puma Shop 30 mins before the official time. (M didnt tell SiX that we were already here). M was nagging at Pau for her revealing top and short skirt, as this might give the prof "a wrong idea". Haha!

We 3 were standing there wondering where should we wait for prof Y. Just as we about to drop him a message, Pau let out a squeak which startled both of us, our dear prof Y was right behind us! Then he said, "oh hi gers, I was wondering how to contact you. :)"

So we ended up at Waraku Japanese Restuarant. We took quite some time looking at the menu while waiting for SiX to turn up. We ordered drinks first. 3 of us have innocent iced green tea and plain water while... he drank Asashi Beer. SiX arrived shortly and we let her had the most honourable seat. :P hehe. The 3 of us were practising caution while ordering as..

We have no idea who's paying. Dutch, He treats us, We treat him?

I ordered a small yakiniku don. He was shocked and said I should order more. So he ordered a big plate of sushi. I was poking M's thighs under the table, trying to tell her "who's paying?!". The food came.. and yum yum..

From the dinner, we found out:
1) Prof Y has a driving licence (A US licence converted to Singapore licence). But he has second thoughts about getting a car cos its v expensive. Plus he is living within the campus.
2) His campus apartment has 3 rooms and he is not living with anyone else.
3) He is from HeilongJiang.
4) CH4242 (si le si le) 's first part would be covered by XR, then second part by him. and he claimed is not difficult. Yahrite...!
5) He dont encourage doing research cos it's a tough route.

It's payment time. And hehe.. he flashed out his credit card in time. He told us that he used to have quite a lot of credit cards but he had cut up most of them and left only one. Hmmm...

But *phew* great relief still! His treat! hehe. :P $150 meal....
