Friday Foray - Flowing Stream's Visit

F.Stream paid Penang a visit on Friday. As one of his pig-dog friends, I was pulled along for a night out together with FS and AS. First we dropped by a pretty classy Jap restaurant for dinner, to our dismay the menu (the spec) and the actual course (the product) is rather out of sync. What served in front of us (it was a unagi plus beef teriyaki bento) on the table was almost 30% smaller than what was shown in the menu.

The engineers at the table instantly concluded that nowadays menu creators are probably taking pictures of the food with microscope. I don't have any picture of the menu with me, or you may be able to make a comparison yourself.

Plan for the nite was to get some drinks to chill ourselves, then at ten we would get to Redbox for a karaoke party for some who-i-don't-know's birthday. We picked a spot in Gurney plaza and settled. Once we had downed a mug or two of cool beer, we started the topics on idiocy of management and the horror stories of engineers with coconut brains. Later CH also joined us and the four Purdue grads started to recount even more horror stories and jokes happened in our respective companies.

The karaoke session was just yet-another-karaoke session, the only good thing I could think of was the food and drink supplies were ample enough so the attendees wouldn't end up singing with scorched throats. In the midst of singing, one of the gals actually jumped on the sofa stool and sang( as shown below, forgive me for the lousy pic quality). I am not so sure why she did that, but my conjecture was most probably she was getting excited to have so many handsome engineers in the room. Well, this we really couldn't help much. :P
