finally paid!

haha.. i have finally received my pay! but it only came through in the late afternoon.. C and SR brought J and me out for lunch today.. we went to The Office Bar, which offers pretty decent food, i must say!

after lunch i went to check my bank account but pay wasnt in yet, so i was feeling a bit sorry for myself that i cant do shopping tonight! oops~!

anyway, there wasnt much time to think about late night shopping because there were still work to do and stuff to learn before J officially leaves the company this evening..

we had our usual Highs & Lows Meeting at 5pm and that was also to bid farewell to J and M, whose last day is also today.. after the meeting, J passed her key and her work that was incomplete to me before i left for the weekend.. i gave her a big hug and told her that she knows where to send her e-mails to! we were using the same e-mail account at work!

i walked quickly to RAH to meet Miyuki for dinner.. Indian food for dinner!!! this restaurant was recommended by one of Miyuki's colleague.. he's Indian, by the way.. which means we cant go wrong!!!

the restaurant was situated on Rundle Street.. it's called Taj Tandoor Indian Cuisine.. it was quite spacious on the ground floor and there's more tables upstairs too.. i quite like the ambiance of the restaurant..

it's the first late night shopping after DST sets in.. it's also quite a warm Friday evening.. hence all the shops had their windows and doors open for a more al fresco feel.. and the whole street was packed with people celebrating the end of the work week!

we were pretty early and only a few tables were occupied when we got to the restaurant.. we ordered a couple of main courses and Basmatic rice and Naan to share..

Pulao Rice
Authentic aromatic Indian Basmati Rice..

Beef Vindaloo (Hot)
A very hot and sour Goan preparation of beef with hot chillies and vinegar. Delightful favourite for those who like it hot. Also available in lamb or chicken.

Fish Baingan
Fillet of fish simmered in tomato and coconut curry with mustard seeds and eggplant..

Garlic Naan
Naan with fresh Garlic

dinner was very yum~.. especially the Mango Lassi! both me and Miyuki ordered one each.. but it was not enough! we will be back for more! when i finally checked my bank account after dinner, my pay has finally been banked in! yeah! so i managed to do some late night shopping after all!
