mom and i
Today is one of those really rare times when I went out with my mom and both of us agreed to spend however much we like, on whatever we want and do everything we've not done together before. And seriously Mommy, I love you so much.
We decided to meet for lunch and I left the house at 12noon after an agonizing farewell with my computer. Mommy is waiting for me, like every single time we've met before, and we're both half blind. I was wearing disposable contacts which don't really fit and she was not wearing her glasses. So it took some groping and guesswork but we met eventually. Then I led her on a futile search for an elusive restaurant that I vaguely remembered from one of my former class outings. In the end we had to settle for Imperial Treasure, which, to its credit, is quite good. It's a Chinese food restaurant and by good I don't mean its authentic because it's certainly not authentic in many dishes. Many were actually variants (I decided against using the word mutants) of authentic dishes and the only ones that tasted authentic were the side dishes, which can't go wrong much. But they tasted great so we were happy. After lunch we sat over two glasses (not cups) of tea and talked for the longest time ever, during which every single waitress/waiter in the place took turns refilling our glasses in a not-so-subtle attempt to chase us away. They succeeded because we finally left in search of the restroom.
After lunch we decided to go orchard to shop. It was a very fruitful trip. We bought some straps for my luggage and a Citizen watch for me. It looks really sleek, elegant and pretty and all its traits are definitely reflected in the price. On a side note, the weather is really nice today, no sun no rain and quite breezy. So we took a walk down orchard road and ended up at Cine. Then we decided to watch a movie. No I'm kidding. We decided to watch a movie first then we spotted Cine and went 'Aha, we can watch a movie there! Let's check out the timings.' I wanted to watch Meet Dave but the next show was 1720 which was 1h 10min away so we decided to watch Journey to the Center of the Earth, which turned out to be really really good! Two thumbs up! Then we bought some donuts and went home. It was a perfect trip with perfect timings and we did perfect things.
But so tired now. I love you Mom!
