South Bridge Branch BBQ at Changi Safra Resort ( 15/12/2007 )

The very first outing with my branch colleagues this year. My manager ( Esther ) successfully balloted for the 3D2N chalet at Changi with just $50 !! Cheap right, haha..only UOB staff entitled to this.

Initially the plan was to go early around 1pm for a swim & some tanning as the sea as it's just a stone throw away from the chalet. However it was raining very heavily in the afternoon, bo bian, have to go later which is around 4pm liao. Didn't eat the whole day since i woke up, hoho, saving space for all the good food later!

Met Zhenrong, winnie and bump into Christopher at Tanah Merah Mrt. There's a shuttle bus available but it's at 30 mins interval, so the waiting time is a bit long. We are still the early birds as no one else was there except for boss and her family. So no choice, the task of starting the fire was given to us.

We started for a while and luckily yvonne's yeo ( YY ) son ( a former scout ) came and chiong to start the fire. He's damn enthu to start the fire la, so needless to say i gladly give him that job.

Most of us reach around 6pm and some bring along their own speciality to let us try. Jane's fried rice, Ai Hwei's doughnuts, YY's cupcakes , boss's curry, veron's salad. Lots of good food for the day.

*Something to think about. Many people separate colleagues and friends in a very clear line. In the past i often think of such outings redundant as we see each other almost everyday during work. But honestly under such different environment ( such as BBQ ) where everyone is just there to enjoy & leave the work behind, people are able to get to know each other easily, better and ulitmately understand one another.*

Back to the BBQ, small drizzle came about & we deployed a canvas to shield the bbq pit from the rain. Luckily someone bought the canvas along , thank you so much!

Well, i shall let the pics tell the rest of the day.

Our food!
