I've spent close to a year in HWA, and today shall go down as the most exciting day working in HWA.
The clock struck 12 and it was time for lunch. But alas! My usual lunch khakis were treated to a meal by another colleague of mine, so I went for lunch with Silas- (Mr Look-like-nice-guy).
We decided to lunch at Shaw Plaza, instead of the usual Whampoa Market. Silas treated me to Suki Sushi, as a farewell meal since he would be leaving HWA for reservist in Feb. The air-conditioned setting, and wasps of fresh Jap food around us created a relaxed lunch setting. I was shocked when Silas noted the time- 1.10pm!
Late! So we quickly took our leave...and went downstairs for McDonald's soft serve ice-cream. =) My turn to treat Mr Look-like-nice-guy.
As we were rushing out of the building and walking back with quick steps, our soft serves fast melting in hand, Silas spotted a HWA van on the road. It was 3rd in line at the traffic junction, and the light was red. Should we just take the 10min walk back to office or.....?
We then did the most exciting thing. Silas did a quick signal to the driver and swiped open the sliding door. Both of us hopped onto HWA van swiftly, like some spies being tracked down by the merciless government.
Just as the 2 cars in front accelerated, our driver stepped on the pedals and off we go! Licking our soft serves with satisfied smiles on our faces, we reached HWA in just 3 minutes. As we were still late, Silas decided we should not enter from the front reception area, in case our Director (whose room is near the reception area) spots us.
But as we were walking around the reception and heading for the back door, we met our Assistant Director, walking right towards us. Damn Silas, for your brilliant idea....
Both of us tried to hide our giggles and tried acting normal, but our shrewd AD asked "Why so happy today?"
All Silas could think of at the moment was to hold up what was left of his soft-serve, and say "Ice-cream!" It made the both of us look like small kids......
We couldn't contain our roaring laughter once our AD went past us. Yes, that was the most exciting day in HWA for me, however lame the whole incident was.
Disclaimer: No vehicles or ice-cream were hurt in the process....er...but perhaps a few salmon and shisamo were sacrificed =)
