Esplanade~~the place to unwind

Had a date with a gorgeous babe last week, hahaha. Yeah we practically dated, had an extremely romantic evening.(Hee. R, u knw i love u.)Though its a weekday, there was a good crowd at the esplanade.




Missed a symphonic band performance as we were really hungry. Had a light yet hearty dinner at this new restaurant 'The Stock Pot' at the esplanade. It is situated just opposite Harry's Bar. The restaurant had a concept that is alike The Soup Spoon, with a small varieties of soup and salad and sandwiches.

The food was pretty average but i do had a thing to say abt their service.

When we walk in, the place was almost empty, with just 1 couple sittin at one end of the restaurant.None of the staff greeted us, im nt kiddin, all 4 service staff stood behind the high counter staring at us coldly as we settle into a seat by ourselves uneasily. After about 10 seconds, one female service staff finally emerge from behind the counter n ask us if we need a menu. And guess wat, after i replied yes, she ask mi to go to the counter and that everything is self-service. Grr....than y ask....

After ordering, i was given my avocado salad n told that the soup will be sent to our table. But Guess wat,in the end, the staff called out to me and ask mi to go back to the counter to TAKE MY OWN SOUP!! I swear the restaurant was already TOTALLY EMPTY at this point of time, so i can't see y he had to go against his own words. Made mi totally pissed off.

But June was a good company, we had a good chat about incredible happenings in her life. After dinner, we had a stroll down the river n listen to an outdoor concert that was set up right beside the river. You can feel so relaxed being there, so carefree, its definately a good place to unwind after a day's work.





We had a good long chat sittin by the river, we even witness a small drama, 2 Malay thugs was ambushed by 5-6 plain clothes policemen. The 2 Malay men whom looked like ur average Poly student were sittin about 2 metres away from us when suddenly we heard 'Dun move' and then a group of 5-6 men started to grab the 2 Malay men, June even saw a small Swiss knife being brandished, but eventually we saw the 2 men being pulled to the ground n handcuffed by the plain clothes policemen. The arrested keep muttering malay vulgarities while being taken away. After they have left, the river side resumed its silence n it seems that nothin has ever happen.
