That is bullshit. Open your eyes and look more carefully. Just
because a table has 4 people at it doesn't mean they know one
another.
I have worked in the CBD before, smack in the centre of robinson
road. Those locations you gave above are the outskirts of our CBD.
And I have 7/8 of the time had meals alone.
It is not an eternal sin to dine alone, eat alone, be alone, do
something alone. No one is going to think you're anti-social,
friendless, charmless, or good for nothing that no one wants to
dine with you. Lunch time is your own time. 12 hours a day you
spend seeing your colleagues already, cannot have the other 12 not
seeing them meh?
Having lunch alone in the CBD gives you the flexibility to
choose, not get tied down by "oh no got long queue here, no time
already!", "alamak, he want to eat this, but i want to eat that
leh", and a dozen more not so nice things.
If there is something more pathetic than dining alone, its
creating a thread to look for people to eat with you.
i agree with some parts of what ditzy said. i really hate going
out for lunch in big groups because more people means difficult to
get seats. why wana find hassle for yourself. might as well eat
alone, max 3 people maybe...
somemore there is definitely a "big boss" in the group which is
adamant on eating something regardless of whether everyone else
like it ornot, and maybe a "joker" too -- i overheard 2 women
discussing what to have for lunch and number 1 suggested a
restaurant. number 2 had to tell her "hey, i have a family to
support, i am not single like u" so number 1 relented.
me no like this hassle. maybe once in a while can meet real
friends. anyway if they really your friend they wont mind
travelling to meet. similarly for u too.
