My Wonderful Steamboat Dinner on Easter Day!!!

It was Easter Day. This was a sad day for me as it is 25th March! I should have been celebrating my ex's birthday if we hadn't broke off. Nevertheless, I try to make other arrangements to stop myself from thinking too much!

I met up my ex-colleages for dinner at Liang Seah Street (Opp. Parco Bugis Junction) for steamboat dinner and at the same time, catch up with one another. It has been almost six months ever since we have seen each other and all of us have changed alot! I was shocked when I first saw Pham walking towards me in her long and flair tube dress, paired with a lime green cardigan. That day, both pham and her hubby were in couple tops. (Both wearing lime green tops) Really glad for her that she's now happily married and Wow... she's PREGNANT! Can't imagine what kind of shock I got that moment... she's already 5 months pregnant. I juz can't stop myself from feeling excited and keep my hands off her stomach.

At 7.30pm, all of us were there, except Elsie who said that she will be joining us late. We settled in at a restuarant named "tian tian huo guo" (to be read in chinese) at the end of the street. This restuarant serves the taiwanese "ma la" steamboat and in buffet style. We ordered the half chicken soup and half "ma la" and end up eating alot....coz it's alacart! Wow...sotong, prawns, fishballs, mushrooms, meatballs... and many more..till now i still feel a little guilty eating that much food, ok. We chatted and enjoyed our dinner until around 9pm and continued our dinner with a dessert a few shops away, along the street. It was a famous dessert shop around the street, and I ordered a egg pudding. All of us got very irritated by the service level of this shop. The store was extremely crowded when we reached there. After placing our order, we waited for almost 45mins before we were served with our desserts! The BEST part was... guess wat? The desserts we ordered were cold and only need to be taken out from the stupid lousy fridge! That's wat made all of us jumped and complained to the boss about the poor service. Anyway, the boss really duno how to do business. He didn't gave us any compensations...and I guess that's the first and last time I'll be eating there.

Afterwhich, we proceed to the continental hotel for a drink. This was the first time I had ever watched a live entertainment session in the hotel lounge. We found a comfortable coach for six persons to continue with our chit-chatting session and browse throught Pham's wedding photos. All of us look really good in the photos. I really like her wedding photos...and seems like I will definitely use the same photographer for my wedding in the future. The photos really touched my heart! I like the photo with the scissors, paper, stone photo best....so cute! Next time, I'll definitely consult pham if I'm getting married. The ambience at the lounge was romantic and the fat african lady singing on stage had an excellent vocal. Her voice was low, rich and sounds wonderful when she sings... An unforgettable night. It has been a long time that I have such an interesting night out with my friends. We chatted until almost 1pm before we goodbye.
