As usual, it started out as an email. “Guess what Joey got Gelle for their first anniversary! He really saved up for it. He’s so sweet!” I said.
“LV?!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! What kind?? Joey’s such a great gifter!!!!!!!!” Chi guessed correctly. I was amazed at how she knew. I mean, I probably wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t seen the pretty Speedy for myself the day before.
“OMG I cried here in the office!” said AA. “How sweet of him! If he were super rich and he gave you an LV, the impact wouldn’t be that big, but because he really saved up to get you one, it’s super sweet!”
As if that wasn’t enough, Gelle went on to say that last night when she got home, there was a bicycle waiting for her at home. She had just learned how to ride one and knowing how happy that made her, Joey bought his colleague’s extra one for her. Awww!
I don’t know how Joey’s sweet gifts somehow led us to the topic of food which led to Chi inviting us to dinner. We were looking forward to having crispy pata in Bonifacio, a new Filipino restaurant near Outram, but it was closed due to Labor Day. Hmph. Rumor has it that that place really pampers its employees.
Luckily, Chi knew another place that served crispy pata even though it was not a Filipino restaurant: Le Chasseur. It’s right across Central mall in Clarke Quay. So off we went.
