Quite a few updates for the past two weeks. Last Fri, Cha and I made a trip to Singapore Embassy for the CNY celebration. It was supposed to be a get-together for Singaporeans in the Washington DC area but of cuz, the main thing that MOST appealed to us was the food lar..hehe..It was a buffet style dinner with very delicious Hainanese Chicken Rice..Long time never eat liao, tat's why very happy to see the local delicacy there. The rest of the food were those standard buffet food catering in Spore with free flow drinks and alcohol . As attire was required to be business wear for the event, we really got dressed up lor..Cha was in his ROM suit while I wore my dress, with a stocking. I still remember that night was chilling, up to -7 degree, and my pitiful legs, barely covered with black stockings, nearly froze liao... The event was really boring, as we did not know anyone there, but managed to catch a glimpse of the Singapore ambassador. Din have a chance to speak to her thou, as crowds were constantly forming around her...
On Sat, we went to Annapolis, the capital of Maryland for a dinner by the "sea". Although I cannot really see the sea view lar...but the restaurant was really quite nice and quiet, very cottage-like and food prices were within reasonable range. Cha and I each ordered their meal set where each set consists of soup, main course and a dessert, which costs barely $15. Quite okay right! Actually the dinner was to celebrate our 40th month anniversary lar, but as the weather was really cold that night, we went home straight after dinner. Annapoli was a rather nice town lots of boats and yachtes anchoring at the bay, but we decided to go there another time when it is warmer, probably in spring...
