Yeah, the title is kinda lame, but heck.<\/p>\n

Met up with Bruno today to go Cirque du Soleil – Totem, their second last show of their leg in Singapore. \u00a0Initially when Bruno was asking if I’m interested to go to this show, I was like “nooo I don’t like musical :3 “. \u00a0Then he was like “WTF this isn’t musical.” \u00a0He then showed me a few videos… and I realised okay, this is something like acrobatics. \u00a0But since I wasn’t like too familiar with him yet (I think we haven’t even met up when he was telling me about Cirque), I told him maybe not… He sounded really disappointed though, coz he couldn’t find anyone else to go with him. \u00a0And he would really love to attend it…<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks later (after we met up for the first time), he mentioned about it again and I relented and say OK, I’ll go if he really can’t find anyone to go with him. \u00a0Well, he really couldn’t get anyone, so yup, we went today, on their last day of performance, the second last show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The show was totally spectacular. \u00a0Every segment has their breathtaking moments, and some are hilarious. \u00a0Bruno and I found out that our favourite segment is actually the same one, so that’s pretty cool. \u00a0This is just our third time meeting, but we were kinda like old friends already. \u00a0Silent moments were totally not awkward at all too. \u00a0And he’s such a persuasive person, lol. \u00a0I hated Vietnam coffee, and he could managed to convince me to try his favourite Vietnamese coffee – Trung Nguyen’s Legendee. \u00a0It has a similar taste to civet cat’s poo coffee, and it’s priced at an alarming price – SGD16.50 for a small cup! \u00a0He still treated me to it though… as he said I should try it at least once. \u00a0OK fine…. It’s very sweet actually. \u00a0Strong and sweet. \u00a0To be honest, I preferred the one that he ordered for himself – Passion (if I didn’t remember the name wrongly).<\/p>\n

We lingered in the cafe for a good while, because he needed to charge his tablet and there’s free wifi in there too. Then while we were thinking of where to go for dinner, he suddenly suggested Vietnamese food. \u00a0Well I’m really not a fan of Vietnamese food, but somehow he again managed to convince me to go try one restaurant that he feels has really good Vietnamese food, and so we went.<\/p>\n

It was this small restaurant at Grandlink Square called Little Vietnam, and to be honest, it’s really not a place where I would even take a second glance if I pass by it. \u00a0But okay, we were seated indoors, and we looked over the menu to decide what we could order. \u00a0He decided to order the braised duck because he said it was really good (he did know that I should be avoiding duck and chicken though), and we also added a dish of stir fry kangkong which he specifically asked for no chilli (thanks, Bruno). \u00a0So when the dishes came, I tried the duck and boy, the meat was bursting with flavour with every bite. \u00a0It was spicy, but for some reason only my lips were tingly, and my throat felt fine. \u00a0There’s totally no need to drink water at all because I don’t feel the spiciness in my mouth! \u00a0That was a pretty surprising experience.<\/p>\n

The kang kong that came along was good too. \u00a0Usually if I asked for the non-spicy version, either it’s super salty or it’s just totally tasteless. \u00a0The chef though, managed to get it done just right. \u00a0Heavy on taste, yet not overly salty. \u00a0I don’t need to reach for the water even after eating half of that dish of kang kong. \u00a0The beef slices were flavourful and tender too. \u00a0Very nice!<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, \u00a0he ordered Vietnamese coffee again, before remembering that he would get migraines if he drank too much coffee. \u00a0In the end he only drank about half of it, and I helped him finished the other half, haha!<\/p>\n

So yup, that kinda summed up what happened today… a bit tiring for the both of us because we both really kinda disliked going out on Sundays (he made an exception for Cirque du Soleil), but interesting for me because there’s so many “firsts” today! \u00a0And really, big thanks to Bruno for managing\u00a0to convince me to go for the Totem show. \u00a0That was an awesome, eye-opening and hilarious experience. \u00a0^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
