It’s Sunday and the day started off with a call from Celest saying that she’s having a fever, and that the tuition has to postpone again. So that left me with an empty slot to fill in before the Father’s Day celebration dinner in the evening.
As though it were all planned, Mic called and asked if I was free to go shopping with him in the afternoon. What a pleasant surprise. That meant that I didn’t have to think of something to keep myself busy.
And so off to Orchard we went. Dropped by Cartel to make a reservation for tonight, but was told that they don’t take reservations on weekends and public holidays. Made a mental note to be there earlier later in the evening, to get seats before dad and mum come.
Went off the Heerens and checked out watches and bags. Showed him to the boxers shop too. Think he’s too shy to get it though. Sigh. An old man like him getting shy about getting underwear. Like huh? Was wondering if his mum is still getting his undies for him. Oops! Shall ask him the next time I see him. Haha.
Taka was next and we had Gelato. This time I tried the yoggi yoghurt. Think it’s one of the better ones and I think it’s also healthier? Yoghurt duh! Belgium chocolate rocks too. Think next time I wanna try the mint choc. Looked really tempting.
Dropped by Stadium and wondered if we should get the Wilson basketball. But decided against it cause his girlfriend (wife-to-be) will be bringing one back from China. Shall wait till July then.
He got this $89.90 shirt from Zara that looked quite good on him. Think it’s a little too costly though. Was telling him that I got a U2 shirt couple of days back which was only half-priced of his and then I turned broke. Sigh. =)
Before leaving Taka on the escalator, he realised that he left his car keys and handphone back in the Zara changing room. Should have taken a picture of his stunned face – priceless. Zoomed back and retrieved his belongings and came back with a trickle of perspiration down his forehead. Absent mindedness sucks.
Then off the Ikea we went and he got his stuff to decorate his room. Got a ride back to Orchard and met up with Ber. Walked around looking for her gifts. Saw the FRENCH PLAQUE (whatever la har! Plaque, plate, slate… doesn’t matter la…) she bought for him. Got myself a stack of mini prayer cards too. Walked to Heerens again and got the t shirt she was looking for. The sales girl who helped us out was really tall. As tall as myself! 175. Woah. Somehow she reminded me of Weiqi, who’s even taller than myself. Model legs. =)
Parted at around 6.30pm and rushed down to Cartel to queue up before mum and dad came at 7. Got separated seats, but were just next to each other. Not that bad. Taught Eric how to cut the bread and where to get all the butter and sauces. In no time, he looked like he was at home, getting all the sauces and drink refills and bread.
Orders came promptly, apart from mum’s Hawaiian pork chops, which somehow made her really pissed off. Apparently the staff people had a little mix up. Think the food doesn’t really suit mum’s appetite. Too oily. Shall bring them to try something else next time.
On the whole, it was a rather pleasant Father’s day dinner. The Cartel staff apologized for their little misunderstanding and gave us a $5 dollar voucher. Was telling mum that they were “not that bad la”. And also saw Ling and Tian’s family. Haha. What a coincidence. Talked to Ling and got to know about her little accident. =) no worries la! It’s all over. Hope that nothing happens within these few weeks.
Came back home and caught the 1st half of Japan against Croatia while waiting for Ding to come. Said she would turn up at 9 but waited for like 15mins before deciding to take a shower. And guess what, horror of horrors, she called while I was in the shower, saying that she was down at my block. Quickly flossed my teeth and changed and opened the door for her.
Took the van keys and gave her a lift. Drove down to Chomps for supper as she wanted beancurd with glutinous rice balls. Had the bean curd, wings and fried tofu. Was the first time I tried the tofu thingy, and thought that it’s not too bad perhaps one of the healthier foods sold at chomps.
Supper was fun in a way, seeing all the funny things she does. It’s just so her. Cute in a way. Drove back to her place and kindly reminded her to bring her bag back home. Didn’t really want to her laundry for her. =p
It’s been quite a while since I’ve piggy backed anyone. Everyone was staring but guess it was fun in a way. Were you THAT full? Hahas. Anyway, please bath ASAP. It’s not a chore really. You ought to bath. =)
