Valentine's Day

That was the first time I spent the Valentine's Day at Kedah. I arrived at Alor Setar on that morning. The main purpose I went to Kedah was to pay a visit to his family or Bai Nian during CNY period. It was just nice that Valentine's Day fell on Thursday, when I don't have any lesson and also one day before the ninth day of CNY, another big day to celebrate for Hokkien.

We planned to go for movie in the afternoon. But the cinemas nearby were all not operating. So weird that they didn't do business on Valentine's Day. I thought watching movie is something that most couples would do.

We had our dinner or rather appetiser (his parents asked us back to have dinner together at another restaurant later) at Bali-Bali. I really like that restaurant. The ambience is sooooo good. As the name suggests, that is a Bali style double storey resturant. The lower level, is fully air cond and equipped with a performance stage. The upper level is in open air and the customers will be able to enjoy the gentle breeze. Outside the restaurant, there is another mamak-like area. There is a few atap houses with a little table on the floor. So the couples can have their own private space.

We ended up in the air-cond area because the wind was quite strong at night and hence not so comfortable to eat outside. Furthermore, since the restaurant is situated near the main road, it could be quite noisy when cars keep passing by.
