The godparents are down for another visit among other purposes, and tonight mum made sure I attended dinner together rather than running off to the gym (thank goodness the Bollywood sessions are over!). Came back home, got into dad's car and promptly fell asleep thus making the dinner destination a complete surprise.
Dozing but aware enough to realise that drive seems pret-ty long.
We've stopped. Looks a bit like San Francisco Steak House from slit-eye view. But that's prolly 'cause Lemon has been making me think of the place lately.
Got out of the car to realise that we're in Port Klang Sea & Sky. Ooo. Dad's ordered crab porridge (delish), steamed (mantis?) prawns and squid. Heaven. And dad brought a bottle of pinot (no idea what vineyard it's from didn't bothered) that we'd chilled while waiting for our food...dinner was good.
Mum and godma exchanged stories and meetings with old nursing friends, dad and godpa talked about old friends, and there's also the crossover dialogues between all four regarding other mutual friends, and a sudden dreaded moment when godpa went, "I got a niece, also a pharmacist working in Singapore. Maybe I should introduce you to her."
Me: *Immediate hunched hunted position*
Dad: *laughs* How do you know he hasn't already got one yet?
Me: *mumbles* got no time la...
Godpa: Har? Part-time?
Mum: What? Got such thing as part-time girlfriend one ar?
Me: No...got no time...
Godpa: Oh, I heard part-time...you very soft-spoken ha boy.
And the topic changed unto that of old age and onwards. Phew. I don't need this.
