This is the perfect spot to take anyone you are trying to SUCCESSFULLY impress. It truly is the fastest way to feel as if you are in a place outside the city without actually travelling outside the city. I had an amazing dining experience at The Boathouse, mainly thanks to Sous Chef Andrew Chang.

I know I’ve written about receiving presents that are delivered into the workplace before. I think that it’s such a good idea to do for someone. Especially if they are having a shitty workday. It’s out of the ordinary. It’s also unexpected which makes it even better of a surprise. It’s a win win situation, no doubt about it. Unless, you abnormal people out there don’t fancy presents or surprise packages. I guess I am just easy then. =) (NOT LITERALLY)

One of the most original and coolest presents that I’ve received is a pineapple. A fresh, hand-picked pineapple from Maui. I’m not sure if it was a present whose intentions meant “Hey! Since you couldn’t make it to Hawaii with me, here’s Hawaii bought to you (in the form of a pineapple which I love love love!) or “Hey! Sucks to be you NOT in Hawaii enjoying the perfect weather,and perfect pineapples”.

Either way, the thought and efforts were there and I applaud that. It’s definitely a pleasant surprise.

In this day and age, who really gets flowers anymore?? I can’t remember the last time I got them..maybe over two years? But then again, does edible arrangements count? Oh wait, I did get a beautiful spring mix for my birthday this year.  They were gorgeous!
