have a presentation with sandvik, a large european company making tools among other businesses, in the early morning so we decided to meet in orchard instead of office.

charlie was late so trond and i decided to go for breakfast at delifrance, ngee ann city before going down to sandvik.

sandvik has their own building, right smack in the middle of nowhere in changi near the saf ferry terminal, took us almost 30 minutes to reach the area and another 45 minutes turning round and round looking for the building.

i must say the presentation went quite well, better than nokia’s in fact…

didn’t pin much hope for this presentation actually but they were actually in favour of getting the screens from us…in a large quantity!

the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment

with that in mind, i shall go for all future presentations with a half heart!

it was already lunch when we were done so decided to have a good lunch to celebrate, decided to go aston’s for some steak but lost our way and took us nearly another hour to reach there.

ordered some good quality steak (i forgot the name of it) and made the biggest mistake of my entire eating life.

i can’t stand the sight of bloody meat so i always have my steaks well done but because trond was ordering the same thing as me, i just told the waiter “the same” without knowing that trond has ordered his steak medium raw (or is it rare?).

almost died when i started cutting up the steak…blood was flowing out from the steak!

this is not the actual picture, i got this from google.

anyway, the steak tasted good but i just can’t stand the sight of the blood…must must must must remember to order my steaks well done from now on.

it was trond’s treat for the day so many thanks to trond!
