To serve as comparison, this meal is served in the RBS canteen, Burger (real huge Pattie! thou not very convicing in pic...)
for GBP3.65 (much cheaper than those u get outside)
i.e. cost SGD9.00 at least...

Food served in Pub: their pub opens in the early noon, and yes, lotsa people drink at that time..
and the most common eateries u can find on London street are pubs, and almost all served decent food!
this is a person serving of Lasgne, and its suppose to be a cheap GBP4.65, as its on their "daily special menu"
its equivalent to s'pore's 2 portion...

离开了。。。

Finally after 2 years, I have left my first job since i graduated.

Have been desperately trying for a job switched since 6months back, and now finally the day has come...

Mixed feelings on the last day today as i bid my final farewell to my colleagues.
I thought it would be easy to leave, but the feelings were kinda 沉重.

All the colleagues and friends who have being showering great concern on me thru'out my stay.
All the sincere well-wishes on this last day.
Its really sad to leave them.
At that moment, i wished i could return to this familar place again the next day, and see all these familar and friendly faces again.... ='(

Come to think of it, i find myself fortunate to meet all these frens and colleagues.
no schemings, no obvious politics, showing so much care, concern and support.

Gonna missed them all.....
