Girls' night out

It's been so long since we've had a girls night out!

Finally the stars aligned and everybody happened to have time to go out for dinner.

It was also perfect timing that C, who lives in Kedah now, was also back for a holiday. (Since her hubby was away on conference in Paris)

It took a really long time to even decide where to go. Nobody could suggest a dinner location.

Finally, hours before we were supposed to meet, J finally suggested Clarke Quay.

Clarke Quay?

The messages started firing. Where about in CQ? Are hubbies going? Are we sure? Driving ? MRT ? ( We usually just take the safe route and meet at Novena Square, so nobody gets lost and parking is really easy )

We finally decided to meet at Central. I don't know how or where to park there, so opted to take public transport. The initial plan was to meet Ca, but on the way there C calls, and offers to drive us there.

We did get a little lost but managed to arrive and park within a reasonable time. Fortunately S knew the place well and gives good directions over the phone.

We were all a little hyped up about going out for dinner. Determined to go 'somewhere nice'. Meaning, outside our comfort zone of restaurants found at Novena or United Square.

Unfortunately by the time all of us arrived, the first 2 had already chosen and grown roots in Manhattan Fish Market. In Central Mall. They refused to leave because they had already drunk their 'welcome drink'. We could have gone to Novena Square! Fish and Co are on the second floor in Novena Square.

Just when we sat down, made our orders and started to relax, C's mother calls. Apparently her older son was inconsolable and she HAD to come home.

Well, at least we got a group photo. Proof to our kids that their mothers had a life outside of home.

After dinner, we decided, we HAVE to get outside to Clarke Quay. At least get a drink. Definitely alcoholic.

After wandering around for another 10 minutes we finally went into TCC. TCC! Also available at Novena square. Unbelievable. Either Singapore is boring or we are sad, sad people. Maybe both. At least the drinks had alcohol in them.

We stayed out past our bedtime. And it was also really nice that J got her dear hubby to send Ca and me home! Perks of being on a Girls night out with married women!

(And it was nice that the kids were all sound asleep when I got home. Peace. )
