Dinner @ Long Beach East Coast
DD have been craving for Long Beach Chilli crabs even since she came back from HK, frankly speaking it has been also quite a while since I last have crabs (at least dd still managed to eat them on one company function at Fullerton there and another time while she's at HK, me? can only eat crabs with dd cos family practise "healthy lifestyle" and crabs is not considered a healthy food) .
So managed to "squeeze" a budget of $100 to go eat crabs hehe. Decided to go to the East Coast branch cos we always went to the IMM branch and further more the East Coast branch is the "MAIN" branch so the food there suppose to be nicer?
So

Overall comments: The Lobster is nice but a bit small(dd, next time I bring u go eat bigger lobster ok?)
If Long Beach IMM haven't change it's chef or the chef's standard haven't drop then the chilli crabs there is nicer (and bigger also)
Rest of the stuffs are ok

I think that everyone out there who have a loved ones will have their very own love story to tell of how they met with their darlings as for us we prefer to refer ourselves "Dear Dear".So "A tale of 2 Dears" is just to give a account of our love story from how we met to how we became wat we are now. Enjoy reading...
Dear1's Diary
May 1999
I had just finished my 2nd year examinations in Singapore Polytechnic and during the holidays, I am suppose to be doing my ITP which is also my final year project(Robotic pet dog) in campus. When I got to the lab I found out that there was another group of students who were going to do this project with us. My beloved Dear 2 was one of the students in the other group. At that time neither of us knew who the other was. In fact I do not even know her name then it was after a few weeks later that she introduced herself to us(me and my groupmates) that I got to know her. Little did I know that this is the start of a beautiful relationship.
June 1999
We have been working on the project for about a month now,but have not been making much headthrough. However my friendship with her seem to get better as we spend more time together in the lab. I began to develop a crush for her however this crush quickly subsided when I found out that she actually had a boyfriend. so things when back to usual.I do not know whether it was fate at work or wat but we got back our results at the end of the month and she was posted to the same course and class as me.
July 1999
School reopens and we head back to our books, both of us were in the same class. As she does not have any friends in the class she kinda found herself tagging me and my friends. So at lectures and tutorials she would sit beside me as I am her only friend then. We began to understand each other more as we spend more time together.
August 1999
She confided in me that her boyfriend had left her when I saw that she was quite distraught during classes.Being helpful and as a friend I console her and told her to forget that heartless chap. However at this point of time I still did not feel anything other than pity for her(Honest!). She quickly got over her painful relationship though(mabbe due to my companionship?, haa haa) anyway we still went to the lab quite often as we had to work on our project. We sort of got closer to each other and we developed a way of communicating during lectures and tutorials-by writing replies and questions on little sheets of papers. By this time around due to the fact that we were spending much time together, my friends began to make fun of us saying that we were a pair. However i simply brush these remarks aside.
September 1999
We often went out during breaks together. Sometimes in campus and sometimes out to shopping centers. My feelings for her were buried somewhere deep within me, waiting to be discovered.
October 1999
One day she wrote something on the piece of paper(actual content is secret) which I regarded as a hint, I could have hinted to her but I was a very shy boy so in the end, she had to take the initiative. I have always enjoy a strictly platonic relationship with my female peers when I was in secondary school so I sort of "inherited" that kind of behavior into polytechnic and tease and joke with her like what I did in secondary school. After that little sentence she said I went hope and though carefully and deeply. I ask myself whether I do feel anything for her and the answer is "Yes" I do like her but I am not sure whether my feelings is real or not as I have never been in a relationship before so where feelings is concern I am a rookie.Anyway I asked her one night whether she meant what she said and whether she is willing to give me a chance. she did not give me a definite answer but I think her answer is "Yes". I walked her home the next day this is the 1st time I walked her home and only the second time I walk gals home(the 1st was with a netfriend coz it's dark). I wanted to hold her hand but I was afraid that she would reject my approach so I did not do it but chit chat with her for the entire journey. Then exam arrive.
November 1999
After the exams, we,together with a few friends decided to have lunch together to sort of celebrate the end of exams. After the meal, we went for a walk around the city area, I wanted to hold her hand so badly so finally at a CD shop I pluck up my courage and ask her to and she did hold my hands. After that I never wanted to let go even till now... Finally we were together,the day was 6th of November...it's the start of a new begining and I hope that I never had to let go of her hand that was so dear to me...
