My not so romantic night out

Sometimes in life we can plan but what happens is beyond our control :)

pansuh chicken

I spent a lot of time at the gym today and felt ravenously hungry. So I decided to take Mrs BB and Benghui for a romantic evening out. I drove over to a place opposite Li Hua Hotel which is supposed to be famous for its chicken cooked in bamboo ( pansuh ayam ). One look at some men smoking next to the only available table and Mrs BB suggested we go elsewhere. Dutifully, Benghui piped in that the table was next to the road and dangerous. :(

We then walked to a nearby restaurant but using a ‘long-cut’. Benghui was repeating what mummy had told him all along. Do not walk in dark areas. So we had to walk along bright streets. I thought of telling him his caution was unnecessary because daddy was there but thought perhaps it was a good thing for him to learn this lesson.

Upon spying a beef noodles stall, I proceeded to order but Mrs BB wasn’t hungry. ( forget all notions of a candlelight dinner or holding hands ) She just wasn’t hungry. :) Benghui ordered a plate of kampua and a glass of barley. After which he proceeded to throw up because he was eating too fast. :( Romance vs being practical :(

I then suggested to Mrs BB we take a walk along the esplanade and enjoy the cool river breeze near Kingwood Hotel. Benghui was quick to remind Mrs BB that she was carrying a handbag and it wasn’t safe. Mrs BB agreed that it was quite dark and not appropriate for an evening walk. I didn’t even have a chance to make a gesture of holding her hand before Benghui grabbed my hand instead.

” Daddy, I want to go home. I need to use the toilet. I have to check something on my computer ” Thus ended my planned night of romance :( Sigh…sigh…

    Hahaha! Poor Bengbeng! But I can feel for you. It’s like that when you have children. Only way to have “lomantico” nite is if you ask some nice “kai-pa” or Kai-ma” to look after him for a few hours a privilege I do not have. [Sighing deeply!] And Benghui is rite about the esplanade being dangerous at night. Sibu and everywhere else is no longer the same as it was 10 years ago when a girl can walk home alone late at nite and feel safe. Nowadays even in your own home also don’t feel safe. Anyway, still it’s a lovely that you have a family night out even if it’s not so romantic! ;D

    u be benghui kaima? :)
