We just stole some moments from our sons (Iggie is in school, and Nick has just been fed) and we rushed to McDonald's to have a little rendezvous. Well, we were thinking if it should be Halia, Prata or McDonald's...but took the comfi option...McDonald's at King Albert Park. Just like courtship...but then again, meals during courtship were never simple affair. Daddy here always saved up for such big occasions (eg Doc Cheng's, Alkaff Mansion, Compass Rose, Prego, etc...hmmm Sharon's disputing all these claims right now, and she says that were ages ago, evidently from the "old" name establishment that I just mentioned)...but bottomline is, I found out much later that all she wanted was (alas) CHAR KWAY TEOW and CHWEE KUEY. So this morning at McDonald's, we placed our order at the counter...she chose hotcakes...and at a flash I saw that McDonald's is offering bagel. And I proposed to have hers switched to Bagel meal (remembering that she liked bagel). When we settled down, she meekly told me that she had actually preferred hotcakes....arrrggghhh....so much for telepathic understanding between couples...more so for one that has brought two lovely boys to this world...:)
Lesson 1: Never assume...
Lesson 2: Speak your mind...
Then we get to eat what we want, ain't it that simple?
For the record, it was my best breakfast since I left for Hong Kong...especially sweet as these are stolen times from our sons:) (tsk tsk...am I bickering for lack of attention or what)...smilz...
