bIrthDay.. continue..

After spending a good part of the afternoon at the Mint Museum, we continued our trip down to Au Petit Salut for dinner..

Had a little hiccup in the early afternoon. When i called up the restuarant to confirm my reservation, they told me that they cant find my name in the system and the indoor tables are all reserved! WTH! how am i gg to find another restuarant at this time! Luckily for us that the lady was helpful enough to arrange an indoor table for us. Thank goodness..

Anyway, since we both are so sua gu that we dunno where the restuarant is located at (Harding road?????), we took a cab thinking that the cabbie would know (since dar refused to ride on his bd) Turnws out the cabbie also dunno where is it. This is so funny.. but no worries.. nowadays cabs are so advanced that they act have GPS in their cab that tells us harding road is at Changi when it's actually near botanicals garden.. (-_-") in the end, dar used the cabbie's street directory to help him find.. cant go wrong with the traditional method..
