The 'Hidden' Restaurant

The Waraku Restaurant @ Marina Square wasn't exactly easy to find - even my friend and I had some difficulties in locating it during our recce the week before. It wasn't a surprise when some of my friends couldn't find the location last saturday(even though I had smsed all of them the exact address). It was also within my expectation that my friend TT will complain and complain non-stop about how come I booked such a wulu restaurant...haiz...even the girls never complain...TT is a guy somemore! But I'm used to his whinings after so many years...just like I always forget to bring along some masking tapes to seal his mouth ;p

What really astonished me was when I saw TT coming to the restaurant together with a security guard...how nice of him to guide TT all the way from don't know where to the restaurant hahaha. The room reserved for us was huge - it should be able to accomodate at least 20 people. We had to leave our shoes outside the room and the dining table was a super long one that stretches from one end of the room to the other end. Instead of chairs, cushions were placed on the floor. However the area below the dining table was hollow, so none of us chose to sit like traditional Japanese ;p

For the past few days, I have been searching online for a company to write my report on. It suddenly dawn upon me that a few companies' financial statements are in a complete mess! Their format changes every year and items in the cashflow statements fall in the wrong place! I was wondering how could this have happened when my dad told me "Oh, these companies are making losses every year and their share prices are plummeting." Now, is that a valid reason for the incompliance with the FRSs...
