Old man's 22nd

Since I didn't blog for long and I don't know what to blog about, I decided to blog my staycation instead of a catch up on what happened.
Whatever happened already, I can say, I hope everything is fixed and hope everything goes for the better.

So about my staycation... 
Since irritating old man's 22nd falls on Good Friday this year, and since he keep complaining I didn't plan any surprise for him, so I did a major for him.

Part 1 of the big surprise.
So one fine bright friday when he happens to be off and I happened to have nothing to do, I brought him to ocean restaurant by cat Cora. As all of you know, the S.E.A aquarium is now officially open and There's a restaurant inside Where called the ocean restaurant by cat Cora. Cat Cora is the one of the iron chef series winner(I think). And old man being old man loves the aquarium so much after our first visit there that day, so what better way to give a Pig his b'day present with food and a view of the aquarium.

We went for the lunch set Cause mainly it's cheaper and I don't have to queue very long Cause it shouldn't be so crowded, rite? Man was I wrong. Cause I never reserve, so we had to wait an hr before they gave us any table when there are many tables empty there. -.- But of course we didn't wait an hr, Maybe ard half an hr? Or less. The restaurant isn't big at all, But hey, at least the view was awesome. The part Where the restaurant was located was at the deep sea tank. So that tank is huge and has 3/4 different levels for u to view from at the aquarium side. But if you are in the restaurant, you are viewing the high end of the tank which brings in the distance between you and the marine animals.

Anyway, back to the food, we ordered the 3 course set lunch which was 50++.

First course - chilled tuna salad (I think). A mixed of your herbs and salad leafy, cherry tomatoes, olives, tuna flakes and quail eggs as seen from the picture. I got to say, it's Good. For someone like me who only loves Caesar salad, potato salad and chilled prawn salad, this is Really Good. (Well, generally I don't Really like to eat vegetables. Likewise for the old man.) And it isn't me that says it's Good too! Old man actually loves it (for someone who doesn't eat vegetables.)

2nd course - fragrance rice and chicken with herbal sauce. According to "I'm a pro in tasting food" old man, he said the rice is glutinous rice. Hence the amt is little. But the sauce is a bit salty.

3rd course - chocolate tart with vanilla ice cream and mango sauce. The tart doesn't Really taste nice? At least to me la. And the sour berries is too sour for my liking.

And after our meal, we had a walk around the aquarium to end a beautiful day.


Part 2 of the big surprise.
Day1
So I planned a surprise 3d2n stay in studio m with all his friends. Everyone came together to surprise him on his actual day. So I went about to purchase the stay, the cake and everything. So I planned the whole 3d2n to get all his close friends together and met up with them to get them in the hotel room before I went to fetch him. So I blindfold him all the way from his house to the hotel with music blasting from his earpiece to prevent in case the taxi uncle reveal the place since he doesn't know.

So we waited at the lobby since room service took the cake to keep in the fridge.

And after bringing him up, Everyone surprise him after I reveal the blindfold. Hahaha!
So dinner at liang court at saizeya. Or something around that spelling. And we headed to the beer market to drink.Open 2 bottles of chivas 12 just so we can get a table that big. :(  After which we head back to the room and chatted.

Day 2
woke up to go have the hotel breakfast, which was horrible due to limited choices. Due to the fact that we drank the night before (and I was drunk), Everyone woke up late and hence pushing the time to go to adventure cove and end up we couldn't go to snorkeling and couldn't feed/touch the stingrays. :( But I can't blame, I don't feel very well rested. But hey, I caught 2nd wind on the 1st day due to not sleeping the night before. And I caught my 3rd wind due to panic rush when taking those rides. But hey, we had fun. Sad thou Cause we got to leave early. :( we didn't get to play all. And after that, it was just the two of us. We caught a movie - G.I. Joe and had subway for dinner and then we head back to the hotel and had our quiet night in. Had instant noodles Cause that is a must have when in hotel room. And had our nighty and slept.

Day 3
We overslept and missed our breakfast and only woke up 1hr prior to check out time. Haha. So we sleep in, had our own breakfast of snacks. And it was home sweet home.
So there ends our staycation and I hope old man enjoy his b'day surprise from me. :) love u. Xoxo.
