Best-est Thus Far

Finally and finally, I found someone (and vice versa) who has the same likings for dates as me - exploring places. Yesterday was a great start to exploring unique places other than just the usual: restaurant-dinner-movie-shopping-go home-date.

So yesterday, after hanging around at Jieyi's steamboat dinner birthday celebration, he and I went to Terminal 3, as decided earlier. We explored every level of the airport, like children going "wah" at new places, turning heads here and there trying to capture every visual element. Even there was this silence, the absence of conversations, it felt right. It was just enjoyable walking around together, basking in each other's company.

We took lifts and escalators, different ones for the experience, like we've never seen them before. Wow-ed at the departure hall because the nice Gelare restaurant was in there, so were the nicer shops. Until we were done with the discoveries, we went for a second-round meal at Popeye's, which I was very eager to try.

Crowded and crowded it was. Chewy chicken strips, crispy cajun fries with tons of chili sauce and plain biscuits with strawberry jam. Increasingly the meal had its oiliness effect on us and we adjourned to sitting areas for a long chat till the expensive cab-fare ride home at midnight.

The highlight of it all? The ability to just be ourselves comfortably. I get hyped up each time I reflect back on this particular date probably because I never had it like that before, a pure innocent date where it's enjoyable and pleasing.

Guess what, typing about it sets a smile on my face. (:

More and more of such dates to come!
