Well its valentine’s day todae. First I gotta wish u people Happy Valentine’s Day. As for me, too bad my valentine hasn’t appeared yet so it’s another lonely valentine’s day for me again. Haha Anyway in my case I just felt that the coming Chinese New Year matters more than Valentine’s day.
Been helping out my mum with the new year shopping in the past few days. Well I’m having festive mood especially since my workplace is so near to Chinatown. Went with L to Chinatown last Friday to queue for Bak Kwa and dinner after work. In case u people don’t believe ur eyes, well yes we apparently queued for bak kwa with a dozen other people (most of them are uncles and aunties) so the two of us looks like a sore thumb stucking out of the queue. Haha fortunately the queue was quite short so we only have to queue for about 10 mins. Anyway time passes quite quickly with us chatting away, providing some entertainment as well to Aunties queuing in front of us with prying eyes and wide open ear ready for the latest gossips. LOL
But things didn’t really go as expected that day cos L’s down with stomach ache. Initially we have decided to go Village for dinner but since he is not feeling well, it’s better to have something plain and soupy so our dinner ended up at Hong Lim Market. Had fish beehoon soup and the uncle was extremely chirpy. When L and I both wanted to pay for dinner, the uncle proclaimed that he will only collect the money from him cos he felt that a guy should pay for his girl on a date. At that moment, it was quite awkward and I was tongue tied. But it’s a surprise that L actually answered that he agreed with him and even laughed it out loud. Well at least that kinda helped to break the second of silence.
Anyway we didn’t manage to squeeze into the Chinese new year pasar malam cos it’s so crowded to the extend that we can only see heads after heads. Don’t think it will be nice to get squashed after dinner. So if u guys wanted to go for some last minute shopping, it’s advisable that u all better go in the afternoon. Haha
