Blind date I

Okie, that was really a long and eventful night :) I don't even know where to begin! But I promised Soldier that I will blog about it in details, to let him know how i felt about the entire, erm, "incident"(?). So here it goes.

I think I will start with a brief background introduction for the uninformed, since I am a very considerate gal :) Briefly, about a week ago, I took the ideas (ok, and content too) of my first few posts from this blogger called Soldier. But Soldier, apart from gently chiding me for "plagiarism", has been quite diplomatic and gentlemanly about the whole thing. Perhaps it's because he is 44 yrs old and can't be bothered with the antics of a little girl? Or maybe because he is a teacher and therefore used to naughty pupils? *shrugged*

Anyhow, I felt rather remorseful - I do have a soft spot for men who give in to me. Really hor. So I emailed him and, to keep a long story short, let's just say, the end result of the email exchanges was that I would make it up to him by treating him to dinner on Friday night!

He suggested a chinese restaurant (Jade) at Fullerton hotel, a stone throw away from where Moi works. I almost threw up my lunch in laughter after reading his email, 'cos the last time someone wooed me with chinese food was... never! I mean, French, Italian, Mexican, yeah, but Chinese? Erm, Soldier boy, isn't that reserved for wedding dinners?

Instantly, the image of a nerdy middle aged Chinese soldier (oops, I mean "gentleman") conjured up in my mind. haha. But, what the heck, I promised to let him choose the venue and the food, cannot back out last minute, right? So, I "courageously" agreed to this 8:00pm rendezvous :)

I was early, by choice. Damn, the entire place was really "people mountain people sea, make the water no entry" (人山人海，水洩不通）! How come? Hotels has become a new pastime venue for Singaporeans? Geez

I have been to the hotel before, but not its Chinese restaurant. Anyhow, I took some time to calm myself in the ladies, and touched up on my lipstick and makeup. Hey, I am not vain, ok. But you must understand mah, it has really been a long time since Moi last went on a blind date!

Then, I "nonchalantly" strode into the restaurant, and there he was - a foot-soldier in shiny armour! Hahaha. Kidding. Anyhow, I knew it was him when I saw him. He has this Chinese lao shi look. Hmm, a bit like the younger version of our former president, that type lah. lol.

The usual "Hello", "I am so and so", and the obligatory hand shakes. He ordered the food, since apparently, he thinks he is the expert when it comes to Chinese cuisine...

(to be continued. must "hang your addiction" a bit, Soldier. Me bad. ;)
