Perfect weekday date place


   Finally.

     Finally, there is good news (however tentative). To see and hear the joy in my father is to watch beauty in motion. Mum, adorable as always, asked me to go have a date with my husband, "whom also needs to be taken care of". So, off we went. There could only be one place for a weekday date - Ambush.

   It's not romantic at all and it isn't "our place". We have ate here plenty of times in other groups and with other friends. But, in so many ways, this place, unassuming and yet hearty, reflects just the way we like to be. When we were in Europe, and fantasized about seafood because it costs so dearly in Europe, ZM kept saying he would bring me to eat cheap and fantastic lobster pasta in Singapore. And, so this was the place, with the slipper lobster pasta that never fails to make me feel better.

   We have been eating here since our university days, which makes it about four years now. In a way, it feels like we are queuing up for one order of nostalgic deja vu. Just like how whenever I walk around in Marks and Spencer at Wheelock Place, I see Borders everywhere - the magazines used to be there, the children book section, the place I would sit and browse books. It is still there, I can see it, even if I can no longer touch it. Ambush is that kind of place for us. No matter how much we may grow or change, we are still that boy and girl.

            

  

       Sometimes, it is hard to be happy when there are so many things one has to worry about - so many things yet to be solved or managed. But, one has to be happy when one can. This is my life and I have to take possession of it. Before, the next wave hits me again, and I have to hold my breath for as long as I can - I need to, be exhilarated, feel this, this small piece of heaven.
