Kind of disappointed coz a bit of publicity meant that it is no longer quiet (though still pretty hidden, took a while to locate it). Just had lunch and left..not really ideal place to chill plus I had quite a bit to do anyway. 

Went over to Orchard next. Wanted to get a new pair of shoes, specifically something from DC Shoes but couldn't really find anything I like. Next up is to travel all the way to Expo for PC Show! Earlier in May I was thinking of what to get myself as a birthday present and I thought maybe a new comp is a good idea..then as if on cue my Toshiba broke down😂. Half heatedly tried to get it fixed, repair shop person said it may cost up to 300 so gave up without much thought. Had been surviving on iPad alone for almost a month coz was waiting for PC Show. Coincidentally my sister wanted to get a new one too (hers broke down few years ago and she has been using home PC) so I was to get one on her behalf also. 

Spent quite some time browsing for deals. Didn't want to overspend coz I hardly use computer these days, it's not like during uni when I had to depend on it. And wanted to try a new brand after stints with Fujitsu and Toshiba. Originally was considering Acer..coz it's cheapest lol. But spotted other brands with similar pricing and specs and immediately cast Acer aside, still wasn't very confident in its reliability. Ended up picking a HP for $799, thought it was quite a good deal. My sister's was a lot easier coz she already had a brand and model in mind anyway so I didn't have to hunt. Then lugged the two computers back home urgh.

Was due to meet Stel for dinner. Initially the plan was to go to Silver Shell Cafe at Rasa Sentosa on Thursday but she had to cancel coz she had a late night telemeeting. So switch to Friday (which I actually preferred) at "somewhere promising" which she will reveal nearer to our meeting -.- I was then told to meet at Asia Square. To give the whole thing a more surprise tone I decided not to research on what is available at Asia Square lol but rushed home, quick shower and head out again. She then told me she is stuck at work and may be late..but still ended up reaching earlier than me. We headed to Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck Restaurant and she was like, "oh, I had a voucher to use" (and I bought the story wholeheartedly). 

So we went in, she skipped the advances of a waiter and walk straight in (?) and another waiter was like "in there" (??), I followed and sure enough..there's KH sitting armed with a camera and a small cake hahahah. Should have known! 

KH was here for a concert and coincidentally it was my birthday..so Stel had to cancel our earlier plans (coz KH only bought air tickets a couple of days ago). The telemeeting was real even though Stel said her presence wasn't really required and she had planned to skip it..then the last minute "stuck at work" plot was actually coz KH got delayed and she had to stall me lol. Restaurant was KH's choice also and coz it wasn't Stel's style at all...she couldn't tell me early and had to made up the voucher story. Ahahaha. 

Settled down, blew out candles and the chef began on the Peking Duck demo. Easily the best duck I have had, rest of the food was good (minus the whole Soon Hock hooha which was too long to elaborate), company even better haha.
