14th February, Valentines' Day
my deadline for the first draft of my FYP report which is graded, and there's school! :( anyway, was so looking forward to the arrival of the durian jar cake that jielin and i ordered. and when it came, being singaporeans, we took pictures of the pretty and unique packaging before we start digging in.
was about to open the jar and start tasting the durian cake when my classmate pointed and said "ee, what's that? is that hair? dyed somemore leh! oh my god it's inside not outside!" so there goes our cake. returned and refunded. some say it's durian fibre later, guess i'll never know :/
thankfully, the day was made so much better by my valentine! :) i've finally spent V day the cliche way! :D Q drove us to Grand Hyatt for our buffet dinner because he said we hadn't tried dining in a hotel. and since it was my first V day, we should have a good one. aww melts. anyway, i'm guilty for not preparing anything because i was caught up with my FYP report. also, Q is really fussy he uses only one or two items out of the many i bought him! so i decided to get him food instead. since i have no time to whip up anything, i remembered this cute cookie from spinelli which i thought was appropriate for the occasion! :P
and Q was afraid i'd start comparing bouquets he bought slightly more roses so that mine wouldn't be the smallest. how cute! and auntie him was so happy he bought the flowers for a really cheap price considering it's V day. he roped in his two other buddies to buy the flowers in bulk and even got extra stalks for free after bargaining with the auntie. seriously an auntie killer!
and another shot! haha. couldn't resist taking more pictures of the pretty thing.
okay, enough of the sweetness, let's move on to the food!
we started off with dessert first, how weird! i liked the tiramisu cake. the pudding was too sour for my liking.
and they had this two-layer tray for every table. we even thought of refilling ours. no idea why but the both of us were just too full after the dessert, main and weird tasting cheese for any refills. in fact, we didn't even finish those on the tray. sorry but i can't seem to rotate these two pictures. so tilt you heads people! :P
and we ordered lots of drinks to make our money worth. because each pot of tea and coffee cost around ten bucks! i drank two pots of tea and one cappuccino. he had a total of 6 cups of drinks D: that's my first pot of fruit tea and some leftover cheese in the background.
no idea why but he likes to order drinks that come in smaller servings when both of ours are of the same price! i was expecting coffee art though :(
when we were done with dinner and back in the car, Q gave me my presents! :D so touched with the note he wrote, so much so that i teared :') because he's not one who expresses and chooses mushy cards like "you & me" haha! that's a puzzle by the way. he knows i'll take forever to fix them so he left it as it was. as for the mug, i just picked up a similar one a few days ago when we were walking around and he bought a similar one. if i'd knew earlier, i'd have picked up something i like or maybe even something more expensive! :P
Chinese New Year
the year of the snake doesn't seem to be a good one for me, those born in the year of the snake, according to what was written in the temples. i like to read about zodiacs during new year haha.
my family was not supposed to celebrate chinese new year this year, so we could only do gatherings. this means that i have no red packets this year! :( boo hoo, no income for the year. anyway, here's a picture of the family on the first day at my grandma's.
with my grandma! <3
and the cousins!
all right, before i end this post, i'd like to share my current favourite song! brother got me addicted to it. yes, we are emo kids in love with emo songs.
and my dad showed me this video about UFOs trying to destroy this meteorite that fell onto Earth on 15 February in Russia. so have aliens really found their way to Earth?
