Panda's Visit

Dearie panda visited me during the christmas season. Though its only 1+mth, its seems like soooooo long. Til now, still can remember my anticipation of seeing panda while waiting at the arrival hall. Being too excited, I arrived too early at the airport, keep staring at the tv screen that show people coming out of the arrival gate after custom clearance. And looking at the flight info screen, from flight arrived, to clearing custom, to seeing panda on the tv screen, to seeing the real him appearing in front of me, seems like the longest wait ever. Can't believe it, we're in usa together again, so diff from when we're here the last time. =)
Took a photo while waiting for the Super Shuttle to my apartment: This is part of the birthday present for panda, its his birthday that wkend. Got him his favourite AnF Fierce perfume, polo tee and boxers.
The next day of panda's arrival, so just nice that serene flew here too. So we met up at fisherman wharf IHOP for brunch. While waiting for bus 43 in Presidio: Super full brunch, we ordered T-Bone Steak, breakfast set, Pancakes and orange juice .. yummy!! and so glad finally get to meet my 好姐妹 oversea, too bad she's ard for a day only. We then shopped around union sq area, bought some clam and crab chowder to share @ wharf area.. not nice de! still prefer chowder from pier 39 area.. 41 area is too pricey n not tasty! dabao in & out for dinner, n we walk serene back to her hotel while me n panda proceed to take bus back. Its sunday then! Panda's birthday!! ^_^ Went for dim sum at clement with the others before we head to union square for some shopping. its a rainy day, so its super cold!! and we went cheesecake factory to dabao birthday cheesecake. Panda chose a slice of Kahlua and I chose a slice of Classic Strawberry. Yummy!! Happy panda with his birthday cake! heez.. Next, its my treat to dinner at Pier Market, Fisherman Wharf Pier 39. Recommended by the others. Its really good, esp the oysters! super fresh!! Really had a great meal there, sitting at the cosy corner, enjoying a great meal of dozen of fresh oysters, bowl of clam chowder, and the ultimate grilled lobster tail. We were so full from dinner that we only ate the cheesecake after we got home, bath.. and we only have space for 1 slice, so we took panda's choice, Kahlua Cheesecake. Its delicious! I still need to report for work on mon and tues before the long winter break. Sweet panda acc me to work every morning, and we had breakfast at starbucks, its panda's treat! ^_^ And he met me up for lunch too. Had a nice stroll down chestnut road, had lunch at Johnny Rockets. And evening time, panda visited my office. Brought him around to see my workplace. That night, we had a sweet date at Ghiradelli Square. Its super crowded but we're lucky to get a nice corner seat. We ordered a hot fudge sundae and a hot chocolate to share. I especially love the hot fudge sundae!
