Rice and Rouge

My US colleague followed me back to Singapore to do some focus groups at our office. Since she was only here for a day and a half, I planned her only night out with some colleagues from Thailand and one from Australia.

We had dinner at a restaurant called "The Rice Table". It served all you can eat yummy Indonesian food, and the bill came up to S$20 per person. Not a bad deal at all! After dinner, we went out for drinks at this hip club called "Rouge" and found out a lot of interesting facts about my colleagues. It is interesting how 1 drink under a neutral setting can relax one and coax you into revealing your very personal thoughts.

The content of our conversations included a confession about having thoughts of divorce, how a banana indicated a mate for life, and how sometimes God lends a hand in putting 2 people together, even if they had to follow each other all over the globe to be together.

I had my apple martini (vanilla martini was a stretch for me as I hated vanilla anything) and was very happy to be part of the sharing that was happening without really contributing. It was a good night, not as high on the party level as our dinner for our Sales Director, but good in another way.
