Thank goodness it is Friday again! And I have had a busy week. Now that my computer is finally set up, I have been flooded with emails and documents. I have to start arranging the database room and re-categorising all over again.
The disadvantage of working in a high-class area is that everything is high-class. There are eating places around the vicinity, selling what others term as “hawker fare”, except with slightly higher prices than normal hawker fare.
At this price, I rather eat at Newton Circus or Adam Road Hawker Centre, more variety, much nicer food, and prices are slightly below what we have here.
The eating places here are either closed most of the time (wonder how they survive?), and those that are open for business sell the same type of food everyday. Furthermore, the prices are quite exorbitant and the taste is not that great.
The only advantage is that the area is quieter so even during lunch hours, there is almost no crowd. One does not need to queue for a long time or search for a place to sit as there is always many empty places around.
Transportation wise, it is a bit out of the way, considering there is no train running through the area. So we have to take a bus to a train station, then take the train home. For those lucky ones who have a straight bus from home (like me), they can save a lot on transportation expenses.
There are also straight buses running through Orchard area, all the way to Marina Centre and Suntec City. Now that the IMF Conference is over, the area will no longer be blocked out and traffic going there will be smoother.
In the meantime, I am looking forward to yet another great weekend! Have a wonderful week ahead!
