When St Valentine was executed


Yea here's a lil update on my celebration of the executing of that Valentine guy.
Anyways, we, like most commercialised couples of today, decided to squander some dough on D day to revel in cupid's atmosphere. So, bebe and i went to Italiannies for their Vday dinner sets, which were really quite something!!

Italiannies lost precious brownie points with us though because of baaaad time management. BAD. Seats were lined up outside te restaurant for most of the 730s. See, their dinner slots were scheduled at 630, 730 and 830. So obviously they were all of a fluster when the 630s werent quite ready to leave yet and 730s were early OR on the dot for their dinner slots. As a pathetic gesture of hospitality, 1 or 2 of their staff gave out small plastic cups of coke to those of us who were waiting and getting increasingly sullen. See again, PATHETIC being the keyword here. The other Italiannies staff looked the other way while the cokes were served, and newcomers waiting in line were not served any drinks.

Bebe and i even had to share a coke because he had gone to check out the temporary-borrowed dining arrangements setup at Laundry, 2nd floor. That was terrible, to say the least. We, the wanna-dine-at-Italiannies peeps are there for the food, atmosphere and service! What in the whole wide blinking moon would we be doing there if we said okay to being shunted to some smoky, dreary area to dine on a special Vday Italiannies dinner set?? What's more, the Italiannies staff didnt dare promise us if it was going to be too noisy and smoker-crowded up there. Of course it was a big NO from the word go and we waited amongst other couple for our turn to dine indoors. Thank gawd it didnt take long, cos if the mood was lost no amount of apologies or flowers could revive it.
