Valentines Dillema

I hate the idea of couples going for dinner at steamboat restaurant during valentines day. Last year we waited for almost an hour just to have a place, looking at those lovey-dovey couples wasting their time acting polite at buffet style steamboat restaurant. If you don't feel like getting sweaty and keeping with your table manners with your partner, please proceed to any fine dining restaurant or anything equivalent, NOT A BUFFET STEAMBOAT RESTAURANT.

To cultivate the spirit of steamboat, one must oblige certain rules as follow:

1. Stay less than 2 feet away from the pot, so that you can fully enjoy the aroma of the soup and also be sweaty.
2. Everything put inside the pot must leave the pot within 5 minutes and to be consume immediately even if it is to burn your tongue.
3. Always have 'yao gui' mentality assuming that the fish ball is the last one you'll ever had in life.
4. Spend 70% of the time standing up so that you could easily get the stuff inside the pot and keep the process going on (adding new stuffs inside).
5. If it's a buffet style.. try to make the restaurant owner regret about the concept of having buffet.

Couples should go for something more romantic, or maybe cooking their very own love meal at home. It's so wrong to go for a steamboat restaurant...

My V-days are those days spent with the love of someone and loving someone, not on the highly commercialize 14th February. It's a great feeling after all, the sense of achievement and sattisfaction when you see the one you loved is happy. It's still good even if the effort comes from someone else who is more lucky... as love are meant to be shared :p

Anyway .. guess I could save up my 10% of savings in doing anything nonsense this year :P
