Went to Clark Quay to have a small celebration with him.
Poor Mr Chua have to wait for us...(Sonia, Nanie and me.)
And by the time we finished work,it's already supper.
We went over to Clark Quay first to look for a suitable place and to pass the cake to the restaurant, as it was meant to be a surpise!
We manage to find a place that we were all agreedable to.
It the ' Lotus Grill Restaurant.'
Theres two authentic Chinese Tongkangs (olden boats) harbored on the River’s bank at Clarke Quay.
From Balinese to Singaporean delicacies.
It's like having a “floating dinner”.
The special touch,was the excitment of having dinner on a boat.
Mr Chua eventually came.
Ordered many many dishes.
The table was so full of food!!!
It was more like our birthday, as we havent been eating the whole day at work.
(As work was busy as usual.)
We sank ourselves into the food.
We then noticed Mr Chua was eating only deep fried Kangkong with rice!
It was then we found out that Mr Chua was allergiced to seafood!!!
And the only dish without seafood was the plate of kangkong.
Poor Mr Chua!!!!
He was so sweet by asking us,what we wanted.
He didn't mention that he don't eat seafood!
We wanted to order another dish for him, but we had ordered too much and the table was so full...
Mr Chua just smiled and said, he was not really that hungry either.
The KangKong was good enough for him.
We didn't have second thoughts then and continued our makan journey.
As for me now, recalling back the whole situation.
I am feeling so guilty...
At that point of time,we were so hungry,we didn't bothered much.
The only thing we bothered was the food crying to us waiting to eaten and to filled in our stomachs.
We were really THAT BAD!!!
Poor Mr Chua ...Sorry Mr Chua.
*Guilty*
But ...
at least there were 3 pretty ladies accompanying you to eat right?
*Hee hee...*
The meal wasn't that delicious,but we finished it anyway...
Too hungry for second thoughts.
Mr Chua's eyes was watery when they bought out the birthday cake.
Mr Chua:"Shh....Don't sing so loud!"Each of us is already crazy and loud. Imagine now...Getting the 3 of us together,
How 'un-loud' can it not be?
We sang the birthday song along with the next few tables clapping along with us.
Mr Chua face,blushed.
He was touched though.He had skipped celebrating his birthday for many years.
And it eventually felt pretty good now.
Having someone remembering and willing to celebrate this day with him.
So...
Forget about the KangKong part ok?
*Wink*
Happy birthday again...Mr Chua :)
May lady luck befalls on you.
*There isn't Mr Chua photo as... he was too shy to go on camera.
Err...
Or rather...
It seems like we had forgotten to take his picture!!!*
Ooops....
