the one with the birthday boy part 3
celebrated with a quiet dinner at da paolo pizza bar on hon's actual birthday (saturday). had excellent smoked salmon pizza and beef lasagne. it was kinda drama funny cos we ended up at the wrong place prior the pizza bar (despite abi's warning). there're like three da paolo affiliations at chip bee; gastromonica lar, da paolo lar, and pizza bar lar. ms bee did the ultimate by going up the nice waitress at da paolo and telling her "table for two. no reservations cos one of your guys told me we aren't allowed to." the waitress looked horrified at her colleague's actions and told us that she'll get a table for us asap. miss smarty pants bee then looked around and they both realised they could be the wrong place actually...(duh!) and true enough...da paolo pizza bar was a couple of doors down the street. eck! if ms bee was ally mcbeal, she would've shrunk to size 2 and shrieked her way out. how embarrassing.
worse yet, we were supposed to meet up with the rest for some chill out at the wine bar. abi and i were the apparent organisers of this and the initial destination was wala wala. after some deliberation on crowd control and seat problems on saturday morning itself, we opted for wine bar instead. unfortunately, it slipped both our minds to inform randy (ack!) of the change and the poor dude ended up waiting at wala for an hour... thank god randy's cool and easy...i'd hate to think of myself in that situation being nice and all still (eek, more embarassed now).
come to think of it, the situation's kinda funny now...
the conversation between the other half and randy during the dinner...
hon: "eh dude, what's up? where're you now?"
randy: "i'm done already."
hon: "we're still having our dessert, you want to come here and join us or head straight there?"
randy: "nah, i'll head straight and try to get us a table."
hon: "whoa! great, see you there then!"
hon to bee: "cool, randy's gonna get us a table at wine bar, excellent!"...
half hour later...
sms from terance: "we're at wine bar already"
sms from bee: "ok, we're on our way there"
ten minutes later...
call from abi: "eh woman, what happened? randy was waiting at wala!... nervous laughter.."
bee: "wala??? OMG... i forgot to tell him this morning we changed locations"
abi: "oh dear he just told terance its at wala, not wine bar, so the guys just left wine bar!!"
bee:"?? OMG...ok, lemme call terance now" (hon's on the line with randy calming him down)
being the sweetheart randy that he is, the poor dude later smsed everyone to apologise (when he's the victim?)
awww.
