A perfect outing

WhEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In keeping with our number 1 rule of the day, i will not mention the dreaded 'P' word at all.. But i WILL blog abt our perfect, perfect day! [to spite gh cos he feels that 1-for-1 buffets are more impt than his jie-meis]

Of cos, our perfect outing started with the most perfect thing of all: the end of our misery!! no more studying [for 3weeks]!! no more pots!! (Legend: pot = glass transparent container with preserved organs. Question: Why the hell would somebody call smth as disgusting as that a pot which normally contains food? Answer: Because those somebodies are sad, sad people.)

After that, everything just kinda went smooth sailing for us.. the A1 bus came immediately.. and before we could even cross over to the 95 bus stop, a taxi was waiting for us there and when i made the "can u take five of us" gesture, the taxi driver gestured us across the road and agreed to drive us!! I was so amazed!! When i entered the taxi, i realised why he agreed.. cos get this: he's an ang moh!!!!!!!! An ang moh taxi driver! Wah... so rare, must take photo! But i think tat will just freak him out.. he's already quite scared as it is and kept telling sm to hide. And when we alighted, he kept looking left and right shiftily.

Then we went to eat at Sm's recommendation: Swiss Culture.. Wah the place is really very good! [thanks sm!] And since my blogders value my opinions so much and my blogging has boosted the revenue of many a failing restaurant [let me fantasize abit here lar] i shall describe at length abt our dining experience at this place [and also to spite gh].
We had the set meal at $15.90 which comes with drinks and soup/salad and main course and dessert...
The clam chowder soup was so abso-lute-ly delicious that it again brings to mind my resolution of learning to make delicious soups (my lovely frens who have absolute faith in my cooking told me that it's not my cooking that's the problem, it's the ingredients i use... awwww so sweet u guys!) P also said that the garden salad with the italian dressing is not bad...
My choice of main course was the salmon steak.. and everything from the presentation to the taste was good so i have nothing to complain abt... the feedback from the rest abt their sirloin steak is not bad too, but sm's pasta is not as nice..
Next, we had either tiramisu or blackforest cake with ice-cream for dessert... though they look really small and cute, they're quite delicious too... AND as though all that is not enuf: for every 2 set meals ordered you get one starter free. So we had the chicken wings and the clams, and for someone who doesnt like clams much, i must say they're soooooooo gooooood.

But what really blew me away was the FANTASTIC service they provide.. a smiley guy very politely showed us to our table and the moment they seated us at the table, some other guy appeared magically betw sm and me with a little chair to put our bags... And when we tried and failed to balance our bags precariously on it (err due to sm's library of books) he appeared again magically with another chair and transferred my bag over without me even noticing until my bag was properly placed!
Then when we were contemplating our options and sm asked a silly question tat was only meant for our ears "what's a salmon steak? is it salmon or steak?" the waiter actually replied her! Our table was actually right by their storefront so all our actions were closely observed by them and service was amazingly prompt.. Even when Wk did her usual Wk thing with the ketchup bottle, a waiter leapt forward to help her with it... Like so chivalrous like tat.
Then Sm struggled with opening one of the clam shells and we jokingly said mayb we can ask the waiters.. and P of cos really did ask (how come it's always P who asks all these embarrassing favours for us? Cite evidence: europe gondola incident) and they had a short discussion among themselves and smiley guy answered, "i think no one is at home, you have to call the clam and see" and he made a telephone gesture... So lame can!!!!!!!! [Hmmmm come to think of it, i wonder if we would still have the same service if gh was around..........]
Hahaha... but it all added to the enjoyable time we had... I so missed talking to you guys!! And we really talked abt everything under the sun: abt earthquakes, orange highlighters, grey's at P's (hee sorry zh), my 'bright' future in neuro, male toilets (teeheeheeheeheeheehee hahahahahaha... rotfl.. sorry... it's really v funny) and the lame spirit of gh lurking abt us as we speak...
And of cos, since gh's not around, we HAVE to shop!!! And shop we did... those girls were still at it while i left for tuition.. what time did u guys leave ah......

So fun!!! Oh and since my blog is now officially the portal thru which we discuss outings (better than friendster or 'face-book?'), can we confirm thur nite for tapas bar, one day for grey's (w/o curry), one day for ear-stand shopping for the presents (let's get gh to do it), one day for office scandal (hopefully plus wine.. look at Wk beseechingly like Sandy) and one day to celebrate birthdays, which sadly we can't celebrate on the 'conseceutive day' for P (lame math joke)..

And again i want to take the opportunity to thank you guys for checking my blog for updates everyday, even though my blog isn't seeing much action these days.. It's quite sad actually..
Aha! i have an idea... how abt like everytime u check.. u can just type smth on the tagboard like "lalala.. i was here.." and the like.....?
