Hot in the City

It was Feb 14 yesterday. I rushed for my facial appointment after work. The streets were filled with couples holding bouquets with tiny flowers (fake, I think), ballons, stalks of roses, etc. I didn't feel jealous at all. Strange.

Anyway, after my face was thoroughly cleansed for the upcoming Chinese New Year, I met up with my date, New England Patriot (NEP). We met online and he used to be in NE. We've only gone out for a couple of times so I hardly know him but since he asked me out, I obliged. Btw, I was also invited to 2 other places but had to turn them down.

NEP brought me to Tanjong Beach on Sentosa beach. I didn't expect much since I thought we were just going to have drinks near my facial place so I was pleasantly surprised. I'm so easily conned. Sigh!

It was my first time to Tanjong Beach. We drove past this Dolphin place. Apparently, one could touch some dolphins there. I didn't know such a place existed on Sentosa.

When we arrived, I saw this beach bar. It has some deck chairs with umbrellas and I immediately thought it was the new Cafe Del Mar. I was so excited. I thought we were going there. However, NEP led me to the beach, by the edge of the water. Oh well, guess no bar tonight.

Along the way, we saw lots of couples in the dark. It was as if they were sunbathing in the dark! Wow! There was this couple who even had a table under this rest area and they were having candlelight dinner! Of course the girl must be thinking it's so romantic but the guy's the smarter one since he didn't have to fork out $300 to dine in a restaurant. Kekekeke!

I know this sound so cliche and I can't believe I'm writing this. But we found a spot under a coconut tree. NEP spread out a towel for us to sit. We enjoyed a bottle of red wine and some chocolates and it was quite lovely under the sky that was full of stars last night. We could also see the musical fountain from that spot. Meanwhile, I was observing this couple nearby (in the dark). They were both lying down hugging. I couldn't see them clearly because it was dark but I could imagine what the guy was up to.

I had to go to the bathroom so I went to the beach bar. Then I realized that the bar was not Cafe Del Mar but it was KM8. LOL! Thanks goodness! Anyway, I had a good time, good company, wine and outdoors in the evening.
