9th June 2007, Saturday

No translation today but had to communicate with the French customer almost the whole day. He actually wanted to settle everything by today. But due to time constraint, we weren't able to test completely. Furthermore, his SmartCard was running out of cash because we couldn't use the 'blocker' to insert the card. As we don't have the 'blocker' with us. A 'blocker' is a device to insert the SmartCard in and stop the channels from minusing any money out of it when you are running your test. Apparently we wanted to test the CV12 with the SmartCard on the 410 receiver but the French guy said that the receiver and the CV12 are at two different places. It will take 2 days to bring the two things together. So he wants us to send him another CV12 sample but it will take about 3 days. Well, but we have already sent it to him today. As much as we want to finish doing all the test for him and all but like 黄小姐 has said in Chinese, "When doing test, it definitely needs time".

After work today, 黄小姐 needed to OT for a while so we waited for her because we were going for dinner together. We took a cab because it was raining heavily. Wanted to take trishaw initially but 3 persons on a trishaw on a raining day is disastrous. This is the back of the cab. As though I'm in jail.

We alighted at Turbo Restaurant for dinner. I could recall myself being famished and could eat everything in the menu. This is really near Wal-mart. RMB 10 (S$2) for the cab fare but it was split amongst three of us so we had to pay RMB 3 (S$0.60) each. Of course 黄小姐 paid more for the cab fare. Erm... not that I wanted it to be this way. Well, the interior I would say is really cosy with really good ambience.

I wanted to eat the delicious looking ice-creams above but my meal came in a set so I gave the ice-cream a passed. Maybe I would eat it the next time since this is a summer promotion.

This is a fruit-vege salad. Really nice the way they combined the cucumber, apple and tomato in one dish. The soup below is cream of corn. C-O-R-N. Me like.... Hee. I love my meal. Wait till you see the main course. It's even BETTER!!!

Taa-daa!! When it is served to us, we had to do a little cooking, which is almost the same as Pepper Lunch. But the food at Pepper Lunch really allows you to cook to your satisfaction. I ordered medium rare. But once I flipped to the other side, the middle still had a little blood but it is not entirely medium rare anymore. Maybe should order rare. Haha. But all-in-all, it is really sumptuous.

After the main course, we had ice-cream! They not only served the ice-cream. Below the ice-cream is cubes of apples. Really nice combination. Initially they served us chocolate but it was together with the appetizers so by the time we finished everything, it would have melted so we requested the waitress to bring it back till we asked for it. Initially it was chocolate flavour but when we asked for it, the flavour was different. But I have enjoyed it nonetheless.

For this set that I ate, it is RMB 26 (S$5.20). Went a little shopping after dinner. Always good to walk a while after dinner. Shopped till 11pm and decided to head home. Yeah! Another week is passing soon! =)
