Eldeweiss

Had lunch with a friend today at this cafe called Eldeweiss.

"Do you know what the flower represents?", asked Tiew.

"No", I replied.

"Eldeweiss strives well on mountain-top. Previously, when a man wanted to impress his lover on how deep his love was for her, he would climb the mountain in order to pluck her an Eldeweiss", Tiew explained.

"These days, if we guys do something like that, we'll be a laughing stock", he continued.

"No, not true. I would be impressed. Courage's a rare quality and it ranks pretty high in my list of virtue", I said.
