We (housemates, ex-housemate and neighbour) picked a relatively central area for a post-work dinner at a Chinese restaurant, as per our birthday boy's indication of having a seasonal favor in Chinese food, and it turned out to be Dian Xiao Er 店小二 at Tiong Bahru Plaza.

I totally like the idea of having worn the same color for that dinner except for the poor birthday boy in white.
It was a Monday, and the color we wore is related to that, yup, blue...
