Souled Out....it's a restaurant cum pub and it has just the right ambience you are looking for to have a wonderful class party.
I joined my students (about 15 of my Introduction to Human Communication students) recently for dinner and boy, did we have fun. It's good for lecturers and students to "break the ice" once in a way where they don't have to call you "Sir! Sir!" and just go with your name.
We all met at 8 p.m. and did out usual rituals of teasing each other (that's the usual ritual in class too) before settling down for food. Ordering was not so much of a fiasco as I expected. I suppose everyone had their meals planned for the day so they did not have to undergo a nerve wrecking time choosing out of a menu the size of a dictionary.
Food took awhile to reach our tables so we did the next best thing.....jokes and puns! Haha....some situations were just LOL. I must say, these group of students are the best Human Communication students I have taught in my one year stint. I had so many characters I could have written a novel on this class. There was much I learnt as well....I mean, just because one is a lecturer, that does not mean he/she is a god. We learn too, and I think, that's the beauty of the teaching profession.
Anyways, within minutes, we were indulging in various delicasies and everyone treated themselves to a haughty meal. Even "Si Kuning", an outstanding pal of Shalini and Maple "The Prawn", enjoyed himself (or herself)....You see, "Si Kuning" is a balloon with a smiley 
face...LOL!After dinner, it was a round of games....we all gathered comfortably for "Truth or Dare". Unfortunately for one of the customers who was celebrating her birthday, she ended up being the target for all those who chose to be "Dared". I actually "Double Dared" my colleague, Ms Chris (lecturer at HELP) to ask one of the male customers his contact number, and by god, she did it. Cudos to her!
All in all, we enjoyed ourselves that night. Everyone went home contended and with smiles plastered across their faces.
Boy, am I looking forward to another session!
And, if you are keen on delicious food on a fine evening, treat your soul to Souled Out.

Heyya Murali ! ! Congratulations on your blog. Been a pleasure dropping by, reading this first entry. I shall reserve reading the rest of the entries later in the week, when I'm really stressed out at work and need a break! *smiles.
By the way, Souled Out seems like a cool place to dine at. Glad you guys had fun. ;-)
