farewell + sports day!

Thursday 20.07.2006

the day has come ... Yvonne's last day with the firm ... *sobs* .... a very touching and heart-warming speech from the dear gal ... i had half of it recorded but its too huge to upload as yet ... so here are the pics in the meantime ...

the last 2 pictures were her farewell presents ... a handmade card done by Shimin (very creatively done!) penned with well-wishes from us all ... plus a new mobile phone ... the old and new were juxtapositioned for that added effect ... we went through much trouble to "steal" her old phone and to replace the new one in her drawer but the plot fell through at the last minute cos' she was expecting an urgent phone call ... otherwise the plot would have been perfect! oh well ... shall not go into details ... being an accomplice sure is hard work ...

prior to our first intermediate tennis lesson in the evening ... checked out the new Market Place at the basement of Raffles City ... chocful of changes! new shops and a wider variety of food to choose from (yes, Soup Spoon is baaacck!!!) ... settled for dinner at The Pizza Place ... ordered the Extreme Fiery Pizza + Meatballs on the side ... turns out that the pizza was a wrong choice as it was extremely fiery ... all our stomachs' were on fire ... and it didn't help that tennis lessons were more rigourous than usual that night ... with lots more running and tougher shots to return ...

took half day leave to play baddie + tennis with the 'ees' ... with CJ joining in for the fun as well ...

thereafter, sinful dinner at the newly renovated Newton Circus ... it has a very commercialised feel to it right now ... nothing worth boasting about ...
