had another spectacular date with kai last night. yay! i used the voucher i got with my samsung hp to have a dinner for two in a cable car [of course i would. $88 you know! save a lot of money ;)] before the voucher expired. my parents were supposed to use it but they weren't free and it expires at the end of aug, so my parents, being the cheapskate economically-savvy people that they are, insisted i take kai out with it :D

after finding our way to the cable car station at harbourfront [not too difficult, just look up] and hanging around mt. faber for a bit, we finally got started at around 650. kai and i were marvelling at how the waiters there masterfully slide the table, soup, cutlery and all, into the cable car. similarly, i swear they go through some course where they pour just enough water/soup/coffee/tea such that when the cable car rocks, it reaches the rim but never spills. amazing! and much appreciated too, because the tomato soup in particular was very, very special *yumyumyum*

the sky dining worked like this: they stick you into the car with the table and soup on the first round, go all the way to sentosa via harbourfront and back, then they take out your soup bowls, give you your main course and send you back on your way to sentosa and back. then they finally give you your dessert. it's all very efficient and lovely, except for when they get your order wrong and the cable car zips off into oblivion before they can get it right [which happened to some poor couple behind us] :X

of course, the obvious drawback of sky dining is that the cable cars don't have lights and they give you a nice glowy red latern but that's it. so kai and i couldn't see what the heck we were eating :P in faith, we plunged out fork into the sauced slab on our triangular plates and trusted that it was edible chicken, fish or the like. then we would wait until we reached a cable car tower and, for those brief moments, analyse our food before being sucked into darkness again. nonetheless, the food tasted very good, esp kai's cajun fish :D

the dessert was a delicious apple crumble that, for once, gave generously both apple and crumble, not lots of crumble and small cubes of apple. oh, and the strawberry in chocolate sauce. which i subsequently toyed with and made an embarrassment of myself with :S the coffee they gave was so-so, but that's the only blip on the night's menu [apparently kai's tea was good stuff].

since we were done around 840, we MRTed to clarke quay and lounged about at Jazz@SB. i finally got to try baileys, and realised why my dad kept asking me to give it a shot. it's like a melted frappe, nicely creamy and sweet :) after musing about how we would ask the waiter to give us "Sex on the Beach" and a "Blow Job", kai finally got a margarita. sour-salty stuff, which the bitter kick of alcohol. the music, as usual, was exceptional, with the added bonus of some lovely latin numbers. kai and i swapped drinks after a while since her stomach was going in circles. the baileys actually made kai feel better! proof that alcohol is good for you! we left at 1030 since kai had to be home. we'll sit through the whole night on prom night :)

there ends the most important event since i last blogged. oh yah, there was GP exam. it was fine :)
