Early CNY 捞起

lim peh ka li kong

Last night, me finally met up with Ipromise for dinner since he came back from China. This man ah, very the busy one, fly in, fly out until so difficult to catch hold of him. Thus once he called for a dinner, me was more than glad to oblige. Sure la, got dinner how can miss?

Anyway, it was sort of a last minute invitation and we met at Traders Hotel. We were expecting to meet a mutual friend of ours, a lady with a pet dog. (I was a little nervous as I have never met her in person before).

When me reached there, Ipromise was already sitting in the lobby, very busy looking around. Hmmm, was he looking out for me or just bio-ing the girl girl? A short while later, the lady with a pet dog arrived but of course, without her dog this time round.

We had our dinner at Cafebiz and all 3 of us settled for the buffet dinner. There was a wide variety of food, Eastern, Western, Japanese, nice soup, ice-cream etc. (Thinking of it now makes me drool).

What surprised us was that there was "Yu-Sheng" 鱼生 available. 3 of us had our early CNY "捞起", the first before the CNY, Woohoo. We 捞 the 鱼生 high high and me kept saying "步步高升" and "Salary High High"; Lady only said "Pretty Always", ha ha.

3 of us started to eat at around 7:45 pm and did not stop until probably around 10:20 pm. OMG!! 2 and a half hours? Think we were not aware of the time and we ate and talked, talked and ate until the waiter told us that they were closing the buffet section.

It's always fun and interesting to meet people you have not met before but knew them only via the Cyber World.

As Old Beng has the characteristic nature of a Cinderella, I had to bid good bye to 2 of them.

It was really nice to have a sumptuous dinner as well as the great companion of friends who are able to chat openly.

It was a great night as Old Beng was accompanied by the knowledgeable man, Ipromise as well as a pretty, gorgeous lady.
