The Set up is Complete

Today we had a late lunch. Travelled to Bugis and wandered around looking for the perfect place to eat. John had difficulties deciding (it was his choice since it was his pre-birthday weekend) and all my alternatives where completely ignored. Eventually they listened to me and I took the responsibility to find the complicated way to EighteenChefs. It was complicated the first time we tried to find it, but this time I almost found it immediately.

Like the first time we were there with only Annika we ordered Heart Attack, but were afraid this would not satisfy us and so we also ordered their teriyaki chicken with potato apple salad. The Heart Attack was good - nice chicken, tasty rice, some really spicy sausage and then the best meat, some kind of entrecote - but their teriyaki (and my thought: all their other dishes) was a MASSIVE disappointment. Did not taste teriyaki at all, rather thin piece of breast and tasteless even in the sense of chicken. The potato apple salad was equal to this - tasted very little and was not very interesting.

Something else to consider. This place looks innocent enough on the photo but their acoustics are horrible and when crowded it is very loud. On top of this the one in charge thought it was a good idea to play metal music to try and lessen the already deafening noise. It was difficult to hear each other and not in the slightest a friendly environment.

Luckily we left quickly after finishing our meal. Decided to promenade towards Sim Lim Square and so we passed through the market between the Bugis and Rochor. At SLS we tried to find tripods and cables for our Vive-set up. Did not find any tripods high enough for our cause. Thomas bought the cables and a new charger for my phone (Ymir has been chewing on the old one) as a gift. On the Telegram-chat John asked for advise on where to find tripods and they sent us towards Peninsula. It was a twenty-something minutes walk from SLS and we saw a completely new area during this promenade. Walked through the Singapore Management University area where all buildings looked designed and saw the National Museum of Singapore (from the outside, maybe we will go in there some day).

At Peninsula we went into the first camera-selling store, found the desired tripods immediately and for a good price! It was meant to be. After that we wanted to go home with the heavy packages and went towards CityHall MRT station. Heard the superfast cars going by behind a black wall - also known as Formula 1.

Back home we ate a very simple dinner - as in I had greek yoghurt with banana - whilst they listened to me reading chapter eight out loud. It was real fun to read it and they seemed to like it! After that John started putting up the Vive-set up. It looked very professional. He played for a while, looking like the idiot we all look like with that headset on. Then Thomas tried it for a bit and lastly I had a go. I was lost for forty minutes before it was too much and then it was almost midnight. It was time to go to sleep.
