2 days ago, K and I moved into one of the studio apartments at The Sail. K suggested this, cause the apartment was supposed to be vacant all the way until 14 Oct. That got me really excited, cause it means i can go to the aqua gym everyday! I even asked some friends and my sister to come over to swim.
Then yesterday morning, K got a call from a customer who had arranged for someone to move into the apartment the next morning. So we had to pack up the 2 week's supply we had just unpacked the day before, and move out.. So stupid right! And i haven't even started to use the pool yet. There goes my plans!
Anyway, I met up with a Japanese customer yesterday for lunch.. finally after trying to "date" him out for the past 2 weeks! He had suggested a quaint Japanese restaurant in Tanjong Pagar area, and we ordered so much food for the 2 of us. I did the ordering at first, but somehow, when the dishes came, i saw some items that i did not order, cause my customer had spoken to the waiter in Japanese and ordered these additional items. One of which was grilled puffer fish.. When i saw the dish, i was thinking: "Wah lau, he very smart hoh, go and order this dish super expensive one leh!" I was a bit reluctant to try it at first, cause i heard that puffer fish is poisonous if not prepared properly, but for some reason, i tried one, and liked it so much i had more. It actually tasted like bah kwa!
In the end, my customer paid for the meal. haha.. i had no choice, cause he was sitting just beside the door and he went out to get the bill quite quickly. We were in this private room where we had to sit on the floor (Japanese style), so clumsy pregnant me could not stand up fast enough to fight for the bill with him.. So i just let him pay loh.. haha.. The meal must have been really expensive!
In the evening, i met up with Corey for dinner at Tampines Mall. We had a 2 hour dinner at Din Tai Feng, chatting over mainly pregnancy and motherhood. It was the first time we met up since i left for New Zealand, and she got a shock when she first saw my bulging tummy.. = ) Being a mother herself, we had plenty to catch up on.. = )
When i got home, i told K about the puffer fish, and he got quite upset.. until now i still feel guilty and i have been apologizing to baby since. Really hope she's okay and not affected by my selfishness and recklessness..

Hello Adeline, no need to feel guilty. It's illegal to bring in live raw puffer fish in singapore. What you had was the dried smoked version, fully cooked. No poison. I love that too and yes, it tastes like bak kua!
