Epic dinner

Hahaha... so it's Friday night again! Late in the night at 0100 hrs... And I'm still up waiting for a mouse to find a letter so I can begin hunting for toy parts lol! Anyways, this thus gives me an opportunity to blog haha!
So like I said, today is Friday so I met JL for dinner as usual as it is his book out today as usual. Today though, the dinner had another meaning. This was to be our last dinner together before my one week trip to China and I really wanted everything to go smoothly and have the dinner be a really awesome and memorable one.
So I met JL at JE MRT station after book out and we trained to Tampines. I wanted to get JL an ice cream log cake from Swensen's for his Christmas as I would not be able to spend this Christmas with him. However, as this is an ice cream log cake, JL would have to collect it on his own and bring it home asap. Thus, that was why I chose Swensen's@ Tampines. Haha, knowing that JL loved Cookies and Cream ice cream, I thus selected the 'Santa's Delight' ice cream log cake for him. This was partly also because that cake had Oreo's cookies placed along the sides of the cake which were JL's favourite too! In order to ensure that I did get to book the cake for collection tomorrow, we thus headed to Swensen's first thing when we got to Tampines Mall. There was already a long queue of hungry diners outside the restaurant but thankfully, the ordering of log cakes was through another avenue. There were attendants specifically assigned the role of taking orders for log cakes and the order was done within minutes. Hahas! So JL was sure to have a log cake for Christmas by evening tomorrow. An ice cream one!
JL's words of thanks and his expression after I had paid for the cake really lifted my heart. I could really feel that JL really appreciated me getting him this cake. To me, this was just my little gesture as a way of apology for not being able to spend our first Christmas together. However, I could really feel that my giving him this cake really meant a lot more to him haha! I was just really glad that he appreciated this.
We then proceeded to Ajisen Ramen@ Tampines to satisfy my craving for some soup noodles. I was spoilt for choice with the great variety of ramen on the menu but finally decided on a pork and kimchi one haha! Due to the service there at the restaurant being really poor, the taking of orders and serving of food was pretty slow. Well, I guess there is a lack of manpower.Still, this thus gave me and JL lots of time to chat and we sure did talk... alot! Haha! As always, there is never a quiet moment when I'm with JL. Our chatting did bring us to talking about the zoo and pandas... and then koalas, and then there was this epic moment haha! I shall talk more on this later in this post. So we finished up with our ramen set meals and then headed out back to Swensen's to satisfy my second craving for the night! Haha, I have so many cravings tonight lol... Wonder if it is because this is my last dinner here before my trip overseas.
When we got back to Swensen's, the queue of hungry diners was still there. We thus joined the queue this time and soon got ourselves a table. Haha, but that was not before another epic moment lol! Again I'll elaborate on it later. Once again, we were almost certainly invisible to the waiters here which was probably due to the overwhelming crowd in the restaurant( can't really blame them) so me and JL had some time to sit and chat once again. Haha, we planned to be ignored actually so we could have a place to sit and chat. A busy restaurant like this was most definitely the best place for this as it was too early to leave yet and so we wanted someplace where we could sit and chat. Furthermore, once the ice cream arrives, we will hardly have time to chat due to us having to glup down the ice cream in record time before it becomes milkshake. Thus, we sat for about an hour there chatting away before we finally made our order haha! Again, there was a huge variety of mouth watering ice creams waiting for us but we really couldn't stomach all that much after such a heavy dinner. I had actually already planned on getting only one ice cream to be shared between us. Lol, it was already really quite surprising that anything could be described as mouth watering after our delicious and huge meal of ramen haha! We finally settled for a chocolate ice cream with hot fudge and kit- kat... o.O my favourite haha! It was once again really satisfying! We left for home soon after that.
We were going to meet up again TOMORROW!!! Hahahhaha... ehh later today actually, it's Saturday alr.

Okay... Now for the epic moments!
Epic moment 1: Haha, that was when we were chatting about koalas. I asked if JL knew what koalas were called in chinese and he said no. So I told him but somehow it came out wrong lol haha! I said "Koalas in chinese is really interesting, they are called "wu wei she"!! Lol!! It was "wu wei xiong" lmao! Haha, JL had been anticipating the  name then I came up with tailless snake lol! We both then burst out laughing hahaha!

Epic moment 2: As mentioned above, we proceeded to Swensen's for ice cream. As before, there was a queue there for tables so we joined the queue. The attendant who had helped us with our order of the ice cream log cake earlier on was now asking each person in the queue whether they wanted an ice cream log cake for Christmas. When she got to us, she did the same and asked if we wanted a cake. Haha, before we could respond though, she looked up and was quite shocked to see us. She then exclaimed," Eh, weren't you the ones who bought a cake from me just now?" Haha, it was super hilarious lol!
Haha, that's it for now! Those epic moments sure did bring smiles to our faces through our dinner and then supper lol! Quite an awesome evening spent with JL haha!
