Valentine's Day is the joy of love............
..... Where you see many lucky girls holding a bouquet of flowers or at least a stalk of rose in her hands....... I don't really like flowers so it's ok. HAHA. BUT I have 3 of them kept in my bag !
Of all these years I've celebrated Vday twice, but who says Vday cannot celebrate with a girl ? Hehe. My lover for the day was none other than JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !
*ta-daaaaah*
I went to Chinatown to meet jii and the damn bus took a hundred years to arrive and reach Chinatown. On top of that the bus was a bit overcrowded and people with kids don't control them which was quite a nuisance cos they are really irritating bunch of devils. You wouldn't want to know what was going on.
Upon arriving, it rained for awhile and we walked to that Chinese restaurant that served superb chinese pizza and zha jiang mian. In all, we had an intake of 4 slices of pizza and shared a bowl of zha jiang mian. IT was fulfilling and fulllllllllll. We then walked around and decided to head to Central @ Clark Quay. Jii wanted to bring me to the red sofa upstairs to chill and zi lian but ended up with some nice stool-like chairs. Nevertheless we managed to settle ourselves in that environment and started to take pictures. Jii is always prepared and armed with her camera on hand. LOL.
Jii was so sweet that she made 3 roses for me and gave me some baked cookies that she and her friend did. The roses were exceptionally funny cos the straws fell off quite often ! See, the picture below shows jii trying to stick the straw back into the flower. lol.
After the zi lian-ing and shopping around at Central, we walked back to Chinatown to get jii a more decent looking top cos we were going to dine at Concord Hotel !
Off we went back to Chinatown and hunt for a nicer top. We ended up at China Square and jii bought herself a spaghatti top at a really affordable rate. Oh, before that while we were at Central, jii bought a pair of shoes and slippers. Then we went to the toilet and *sighs* took more pictures and she changed into her top and shoes. LOL.
When she changed and came out from the cubicle, I couldn't control myself and started laughing at her. I told her she looked like she was going to ECP to ride bicycle. LOL. When she put on her heels it made her look so zany. Then I told her in between my laughter, "Jii, you look like wearing heels to ride bicycle sia."
And then she started to act like she's riding a bicycle...
... Which made me laugh until I couldn't catch my breath. LOL. She was so funny. I told her something was missing and I told her that she needed the scarf that I saw just now at the same shop that was on display. That was quite cool cos I liked the scarf myself too. So we both went down and tried on it. The aunty was a bit irritating cos I tried to negotiate the price with her and jii was so quiet all the time I was trying to bargain... LOL in the end I gave in and paid 20 bucks each. Heh heh I got one for myself too !
Off we zoooooomed to PS by bus to meet my parents ! Initially we decided to have dinner at Prego, but the reservation slot was at 9 which was like quite ridiculous to have dinner at that time. So we went to one of the hotels there which my dad reserved a place for 4. We arrived there first, and went into the coffeehouse to wait for my parents.
YES yes yes, we never failed to take pictures again. With the menu, and all.... There were quite a few customers there the waiters and waitresses kept coming to us, served us bread and asking if there would be another 2 more people turning up. IT's like people kept gaving us attention as if we'd go off after finishing the bread. LOL !
When I asked for plain water, that idiotic philipina waitress asked me if I want mineral water and I ALMOST ordered it. Whew~ Thanks to jii who reminded me and saw the whopping price of $6.50 for a bottle of evian mineral water. Madness manz.
After awhile, my parents arrived, wah, like they were like the stars. I even heard the manager said, "Mr Loon is here". I was really worried that they'd dress up so grand and glam that it'd make us look out of the way cos both of us were dressed in shorts !
I dunno why some pictures appeared to be un-rotated but I did rotate ! We started to order the food and shared.
My dad ordered mushroom soup and tenderlion steak which was like damn nice !
You'd think that all of them started to eat... But you are wrong !
We ordered a lot of ala-carte and they are shown below. FYI they are super super super super delicious and appetizing ! Food were fresh, and yummy !
Think we were the ones who only zi lian in the toilet ? Guess again ! My mom is actually the REAL ZI-LIAN-er... Don't believe ? See the picture below this picture.
