A long stroll in the cold and the dark can famish a person with such a fast metabolism.. agree?
It's alright though if there's a resto near you or better yet, if you're going to an all in buffet dinner appointment afterwards which was the plan that night and it's going to be in the mother-ship! Hurray! I'd be dining with the aliens!
Which aliens? .. well, technically, the only alien that was actually there that night was me cause I'm not really from here, aren't I? Therefore, that above is once again just some damn click bait.
Enough BS let's cut it to the chase. Here are the links to all the videos that I took on the way there and to show you what I did which you'd probably just not click nor watch so what's the point of posting those links, ey? Besides, no matter what I seem to post here, I see the same names in Steem world so thanks to all of you still getting lost in my post. Double thanks to those reading it no matter how long and replying with relevant comments. We've grown now and that must be a tough thing to do so kudos to you.
... pitchblack on the way to my mothership
... sighted ...
Since I got off first, I headed to the loo because pea sized bladder here! I asked the receptionist where I should go afterwards. I was told to go to the bar and got a bit disappointed after finding out I won't actually be going up that spaceship like resto up there at the top. I approached the bar and the bar guy was supposed to lead us to our table but my husband and I asked whether it's okay to go up and down the lift like kids for a while because that's what we always do when we go there. No, this isn't my first time to go there.
Up and down the lift we went and when we got a bit dizzy, we finally headed back to the bar man who led us to a table for two across from a family of four. Since there were more empty tables with no "reserved" tags on them, I asked whether I could choose another place and the guy led us to it. I wanted to chat with my husband so we wanted a bit of privacy because .. introvert!
Do you think I'd just sit and chat there when the anacondas are already on strike in my tummy? Of course not, so after he's served us my proseco and a red wine for my hubby, I picked up a plate and believe me I tried to take pictures of the food and I don't know how the many other bloggers do it - taking a snap of everything in the resto because I felt so embarrassed doin' that, I didn't get to take a pic of all the food they have when a swarm of aliens joined us in the buffet bar even though they, too were just focusing on filling their plates up.
My husband was worried I'd get froggy eyes due to the proseco but I actually asked for just half a glass and filled the other half with water. Of course, the aliens stared at me doing that - all in awe because who drinks champagne this way? Probably just me? .. but who cares ~~ I'd rather look weird than ruin that fun date with swollen eyes. I'm allergic to alcohol so I can only take 6% and my husband even finished it cause I started turning red and feeling warm and worried I might turn into some outerspace creature with black eyes that night.
I don't recall the many vegetarian salads I took with some roasted chicken meat nor the names of all the fish I ate. I didn't even manage to take pics of my plates because .. because of the anacondas! They were screaming; "concentrate on eating" and concentrate I did!
When I went to the fish section I even forgot to ask for any lobster when all of the fake lobsters there were screaming to my face - "lobsters in the house! " and the two lobsters in the aquarium were probably laughing at my obliviousness. I even forgot that I could choose any fresh fish and they'd grill that to my face because! the food was so damn delicious I forgot to even breathe and before my husband and I knew it, we couldn't sit properly anymore since we got too full till our necks. ( I think even our esophagus were stuffed that night. Glutton!)
I thought, I'd walk it out around while the anacondas do their work but I passed by the cakes in front of the bar and I saw a chocolate cake in the middle and it called me and I was hypnotized, the next thing I knew was I was asking the bar guy whether I could have a slice of that choc cake and he said it's not included in the buffet and I insisted to give me one and while he was looking for the price another guy.. 9probably his boss) said; "Just give it to her" and I melted in shame but appreciated such kindness and just said ; "thank you" so many times.
I headed back to our tables and tried to make my husband drool but the moment I went to the coffee section and found out that their teas like their wine are all organic, he sneaked out and took scooped a bite out of that perfect not so sweet chocolatey slice in front of him because I was busily choosing which coffee to take. Can you guess which coffee I had? 15% upvote to the first one who gets it right.
After that, I had two more full plates and the anacondas finally hushed and I tried avoiding going to the ice cream salon because I'm Asian and we can't stand lactose and that ice cream would either mean gas or break outs on my skin but my husband is such a tease getting back to our table with a scoop of mango and stratellia and chocs here and there and wouldn't share no matter how much I begged for just a teaspoon full of each ice cream he has, so I dragged myself to the ice cream bar (which looks like heaven on earth ! damn mother ship knows its tricks!) and had to control myself from all the yums that I could actually take with my ice cream.
I grabbed me a pretty ice cream cup and ask the ice cream lass for a scoop of mango and my favorite Amarenne or I guess you call it Amaretto in English - that.. whatever that is I can't remember. Trust me, I tried running back right away to our table but another slice of that layered cake and a very chocolicious fudge slice held my leg and begged me to put them in that pretty looking ice cream glass that I didn't have a chance to even resist nor say no, I caved in and gave in to all of those luscious temptations.
I was more than 100% full and normally, I step on my eating breaks at 80% but I guess all the yummies decided they should be in my tummy so I ate and ate till I could no longer sit (hmmm that rhymes) I really had to go around so my husband took me to what seem to be a nautical museum that the mothership owner has put up just one floor beneath us.
I'm a woman and I love such crafts so I drooled staring at all the boat displays down there. I saw mini boats with canons, etnic etchings, old boat propellers, a collections of navy's helmets if thats what you call them and mermaids with their boobs exposed.(wait what? yeah!) By the way, again, am a woman, okay, hetero and straight! Still, I was so impressed with the boat display below I wish I could show you but I was busily looking at the details of each one of them I didn't bother taking any good shot, besides, it's better that you see them all yourself in case you go there so save the suspense, don't you think?
I guess, I love it that for the last minute, we decided to book dinner and dine with the aliens in the mother-ship because I only paid 79 euro and some cents for all the yums I pigged out. For such a chic setting and the array of food choices which I failed to take pictures of and blame it on the anacondas, my husband and I agreed it wasn't costly at all. You a Pinoy? Don't convert it to Philippine peso!
On our way out, I spotted the Christmas tree with discount cards hanging on them in the lobby. I took one because I want to experience their "La Tour"(that sounds French doesn't it?) which is finally going to be on top , there .. in that space ship look alike bulge on top of the mothership. I wonder if like Baiyoki Tower in Bangkok, it's revolving, too. On the way to our car I took another vid of my mothership just in case someone decides to fly it away.
I'm not sure our schedule would allow us to experience La Tour up there before the New Year's Eve or after it but I'm so damn sure that my husband and I would often dine here because - me mothership is never expensive!!.
You? How did you spend Christmas Eve? By the way, on my videos I kept saying "Dec 24" pardon me but I was wrong cause it was actually a night before that but then... since I stopped looking at my "agenda" or schedule notebook because of the holidays, I lost track of the date because why keep track? Who does that during the holidays?
