Curry Crab and KTV
My department has a culture of treating colleagues who have resigned to a good meal on their last day. I think its a kind of celebration for the colleague who is leaving, a kind of "Congratulations that you have decided to move on to having a life!" celebration.
Today I had my first taste of curry crab at the farewell dinner of a colleague. Its quite different from the usual kind of crab dishes served at seafood restaurants, which is usually fried, chilli or with black pepper. The curry crab was quite tasty, not too spicy and came in a claypot with lots gravy for us to dip our fried buns in! Quite a different experience. After the seafood dinner which I have nothing to recommend besides the curry crab, it was off KTV for more celebrating!!
I think the sad part of my job is that it is very difficult to meet up for dinner with friends who do not work the same kind of insane hours as me. If I am able to get off work at around 8pm, its considered early for me but my friends would have by that time, reached home and have had their dinner already. Or if they are not home, it will mean that they already have plans. So who do I know that will be available at such short notice........... obviously the people who work at the same company as me! Because of this, I end up going out alot with my colleagues which is not a bad thing for me as I get along well with my colleagues and we have common interests.
