dinner

Posted by: amanda on: December 2, 2009

We went out for dinner with his colleagues from taiwan and his boss and boss’s wife today.   Including me, there are 3 ladies and 5 men.  We went to a strange restaurant (strange only to me), their main dish are mongolia dish.   I did not order of course, let the person knows how to order do the work :-)    When asked what I don’t eat, I said I do not eat anything other than chicken, pork, beef, and definitely no exotic foods.  They all laughed.  I have to say it first because I see “exotic” foods on the menu.  I never understand why people want to eat these animals, in fact, I’m with my sis on this, she keeps her diet mainly on vege and chicken, less and less on red meat.

After dinner, the taiwan guys speak softly among themselves, from their looks, I know what they want to go.   To avoid this situation, I went to toilet and immediately joined by the boss’s wife.  We chit chat a bit in toilet.  She is from beijing, her accent is a bit hard to understand, but she is very pleasant.  She looks like about my age, maybe early 30′s.  I asked if she works?  She laughed at me, and said let the guys work and women spend their money.  Haha, I did not know what to say, I just smiled :-)

After we went out, the guys were ready to leave.  They decided to go to a karaoke.  Looks like they go there very often.  They seem to know the lady at the front, I paid attention at him, he smiled to her, but I have a feeling that he is not the first time there.  What to do, this seems normal to these people here, they eat, they talk, and they come to karaoke mainly to talk more.  I got there, husband and I sat toward the middle, they started talking really loud.  Then there is a lady come in to invite people to sing.  I finally gave up and moved to a corner by the TV, better to listen to the song then listen to their loud talk, which I have no clue of what they are talking.

About 9:30pm, I signal him I want to go home.  He just replied with hand signal — wait.  It is tiring already.   We finally left the place at 9:45pm.  The boss and his wife also left at the same time, one taiwan guy just started singing, surprisingly his voice is very good, haha.   The boss went to pay, I wanted to know how much it cost, but did not see it  :-)

I only so glad to leave, the dinner started at 5:30pm, then karaoke ends at 10pm, that is like 4.5 hours just entertain the people I do not know. Whole time I keep smiling, my face is tired too.  I am not very good in entertaining people.

We got home, only Nee is up.  Just have time to say good night to her.  After taking shower, he went straight to bed.  I don’t think he enjoy very much, he left work at 8am, it is a long day.
