131: SB-FP Coffee Presentation

The coffee presentation at SB-FP went well. The partners were friendly and it wasn't that awkward cause Shahril from SB-SU was there. He was on attachment duty and he's the only partner I knew there. So I communicate with him more than the rest. I did not snap lots of photos cause I was kinda shy, lol. Mumsy were the one taking photos with the partners and before I could take photos with them, I had to help Mum withdraw money at the nearest ATM. And guess what, the building doesn't have any ATM machines. The nearest ATM machine is in Holland Village which is actually quite far from Fusionpolis. Yeah, FP stands for Fusionpolis. It's a new office building cum shopping mall. But most of the shops aren't open yet. There's like only Starbucks, Harry's Bar, Guardian and a supermarket. Plus this place is kinda secluded and surrounded by factories and a few office buildings. So yeah, right after the coffee presentation and photo sessions that don't involve me, I had to travel to Holland Village just to withdraw money. I'm not familiar with the areas in Buona Vista so I fear I might get lost and end up at the Jewish cemetery which is somewhere in Holland Village. I complained to Shahril.
Intan: What if I get lost?
Shahril: You won't lah, Intan.
Intan: What if I end up at the cemetery? I'm gonna die! Shahril, help!!!! *grabs his arm and shakes it*
Shahril: -.- You won't get lost. Trust me.
Intan: What if...
Shahril: *cuts me & says firmly* If you get lost, flag a cab back here and I'll pay for it. Now shut up.
Coincidentally, Auntie Wati and her daughter are going home and their home is in Holland Village. So they agreed to help show me where's the ATM machine in Holland Village. So took the shuttle bus from Fusionpolis to Buona Vista cause all SBS buses services here ends at 8pm. -.- Arrived in Buona Vista, we had to walk around 10mins to Holland Village Shopping Centre where there are ATM machines. So withdraw some money and went to buy my prepaid top up card. Thanked and bid goodbye to Auntie Wati and her daughter before flagging a cab back to Buona Vista to fetch my brother who is also one blur sotong and didn't know how to get to Fusionpolis. -.- I know I can walk back to Buona Vista and I fear I might lose my way then end up at the Jewish cemetery. Okay then fetch brother from the mrt station and flag another cab back to Fusionpolis.

Overall, I think the coffee presentation was quite engaging although not many people attend. But there should be more alternative for the food pairing. Oh I miss SB-SE so much! *insert sad face* Should organise an outing soon.
It's 12.27 am and I just got home. Feeling lethargic so I guess I better hit the sheets now. You people can now contact me through my handphone. I've topped up already. And tomorrow going shopping with Mumsy! *insert extremely happy face*
