Dept Dinner and SITEX

My Department's Year End Dinner Celebrations
We had our year end department dinner on Tuesday, it was buffet at Sakura. Food’s not too bad, love the soup dishes (sharks fin, herbal prawn, herbal chicken) and the sushi, they had baked mussels and scallops as well. Satay was served together with steaks and even fried salmon head. The usual cooked dishes were served. Only thing I did not really like was the dessert, probably could have been better. SITEX Just got back from SITEX as well, for the first day it was not that crowded except getting off the train and getting through the door once you are through, it was a relatively easy walk, met up with some friends there and a former warden from St. Anthony’s church as well who was there buying up xbox 360 games for his son, but it's probably for himself as well :) I got me some 360 games as well and in the lucky draw got a spare xbox headphones and mic. There were some good deals I think but the sales tactics of screaming their heads off into the loud speakers really did not go down well with me. Some cyber car was on display but did not really get to view what that was all about. I was really looking only at the games and the TV section as I was looking for a small set for the room (something to hook up the 360 to as well). An interesting item was one of those robo-vacum cleaners, just press the start and off you go to work, after about an hour or hour and a half, once the batteries are low, it will find it's way back to the docking station to get recharged. Pretty interesting stuff that one.
