♥ 7:44 PM
Din have time during the weekend to write this ... am writing this now while waiting for a meeting to start ...
On saturday, brought the two little ones to dinner... originally it was supposed to be set at marche... but by the time the orders were done.. which is around 8pm plus... we din have time to rush over there anymore... I decided last minute on Secret Garden on the cab... It was a nice enough place though i have not tried the food yet.. but judging from Jit's recommendations, it should be decent place for a meal...
The place was full when we got there... and we had to wait for ten minutes before we got a table... the ambience was as nice as i remembered it the last time... with all the lights and bamboo trees... The two of them got silly about the prices and was really hesitant in ordering... In the end, they ordered some chicken mushroom cream spaghetti... while i ordered something with chicken leg in it...
Thank god the food turned okie... but it was a really eventful night... After all the crisis on not knowing what place to go cos we were too late from the orders and almost not being able to get a place cos it was full house... the next challenge that came our way was the sky... Half way through our meal, dark ominious looking clouds were hanging all over our head... with occassional lightening... When it finally started to dizzle, we shifted the table towards a shelter... but it finally got so big that we had to move into the restaurant...
Because of the big big rain... we had to stay put and i forced them to order dessert for themselves... So we had a go at the tiramisu, cheesecake and brownie... It was a great meal... So while we were eating, we chatted ... about how they got into my dept accidentally... and how miraclously they stayed on for so long (not that im really such a bad boss)... and a bit of other chit chats on their personal life... Their eyes got real big when they know how much this whole treat costs... but to me, its for their hard work.. and the non-human hours that they have to bear with... (Thanks!!! it was really good work...!!!)
After it became obvious that the rain was not going to stop entirely, we decided to try and run outside to get a cab... The two of them was okay.. but not me and my 4kg laptop and 2 inch heels... So in the end, they waited for me and we all got DRENCHED... not just wet... its DRENCHED!!!! hahaha... but it was fun.. and to me the best part of the night... It's been a long time since i got to do that... that's the good thing with hanging out with the young ppl... u can act as silly as you want to...
It was not a surprise that we cant get any cab cos it was somewhat near eleven thirty then... so we strolled in the rain all the way from NAFRA to BUGIS... and then on to Bugis Village... By this time, it was quite obvious that xiaobai was in angst about the time... so i made a brave attempt to try to talk to his mum... hmmm.... but it din really work... In the end, they had to walk to Sim Lim to get a cab.. while i went off to the bugis Breeko to meet Cheire and gang...
Of cos i was all apologetic... and now its my turn to be angst.. kept looking at the time.. and only sighed a sigh of relief when they finally msged that they are home... The rest of the night, i was with Cheire.. though i was not altogether there.. partly from the rain and the lack of sleep ...We ended at around two that night... as i still have a hotel shoot the next day...
Going to miss the two of them... The new part timers came this morning.. but they are NUS grads... so they are more on the serious side... Think tomorrow is my last chance to act silly .. hahaha.. that's why i like working with the young ppl... non-pretentious, and no fear of being ridiculed at... I love to be around them, cos no matter how silly i am, it will never be siller than them.. hahaha ... maybe i should find a job in this...
