Had a small unhappy tiff on saturday night =( but we made up and celebrated our anniversary on sunday 9/9/07. hehe. Time really flies huh. It's already been exactly 1 year. 1 whole year of being together; 365days of sharing our lives together, laughter and tears of joy and sadness. I won't dare say that we've been together for "very long", for how can 1 year compare to couples who have been together for 5/6 years? But i can say that the both of us have learned and grown much in this past year. Amidst the wonderful and happy times, there were trying times as well. Really thankful that we could pull through them together, with God's grace of course. I guess the day was made even more memorable for me as it was the first time i took communion =)
After service, we went to honglim market at chinatown to eat bak chor mee. Have been craving for it since 2 or 3 sundays ago. haha! after that i brought bubu to a shop that sells all men's underwear at chinatown point. i was curious after reading about it on flowerpod :X eventually we found the shop at one ulu corner at lvl 3. fwah. it looked really dodgy. lol. went in. mm. shop was quite big, and it really sell ALOT of men's underwear. Some of the designs really 'exotic', some really cute (read: feminine) and some just questionmark-ish because both of us wondering how the hell is it supposed to be worn o.O One of the shop assistant waited quite abit but later came over to ask if we needed any help. I had a feeling he hestiated because i was there and was giggling like crazy. -_-" Anyway, he was quite shuai xD BUT ahem, i wondered if he was st8. :X Because of other elements in the shop, we concluded that the shop was rather gh3y-ish, if not VERY. =\ But of course bubu didn't feel awkward or what, he was after all "safe" because I WAS THERE. whahaha =p But for the other customers (guys) that went into the shop, i immediately deemed them as gh3y until proven otherwise. I mean how else do u explain 2 guys going into that kind of store and walk so close somemore. *shivers* lol! But well, overall it was quite an eye-opening experience. Because first time in my life (and for bubu as well) i saw SO MANY types of men's underwear. Like really alot of different types wor! And mind you, most of them are really quite expensive. $46.80 for 1! Whoa, siao! $46.80 can get you a very nice set of 2-piece bra+undies liao wor! Insane! After the "enriching" experience, we went to satisfy our sweet tooth by going to the dessert store across the road. Dunno what's the name of that building =\ Love ordered mango sago and i had black sesame+almond cream. The boy also ordered 1 steamed egg custard because i said i never eat before. Turns out the egg custard really tasted like steamed egg minus the salt but WAY creamier. Took 2 mouths and i said i don't want liao. lol. So bubu finished the rest. The desserts there were really good, price was way more reasonable than the stupid store near lucky chinatown.
After dessert we walked to the bus stop to take bus to victoria street. On the way, we walked past a money changer and the uncle asked bubu if he wanted to change Sing dollar. What the? We are locals leh. Don't tell me he thought we're tourists. Bubu say 'cos i look like 中国妹 thats why he asked. Aye, so evil! :( But actually i think it's because Bubu look like a PRC. HmPhF! Took 851 down to suntec and went to the Games Convention at level 6. (Didn't get to go on friday because i ended at 5.30pm and the convention closed at 6pm.) As expected the place was flooded with kiddies and their families as well as many youths, like me and bubu for example. WAHAHA!!! *Bu yao lian* Went to queue up for the Asiasoft goodie bag. Jeez. I cant believe i let bubu drag me go do this type of 'auntie-uncle'-ish thing haha~ In the queue were many other youths as well as families with kiddos that were maple siao. Zzz. And hor, so 'cute' 1 lor. Must complete "quest" then can get goodie bag. Aiyo. -_-" go to different game booths and play with the game station masters to complete the task. Most of the gamestation masters all damn bored le, cos been doing the same thing for 4 days and for such long hours! Some of the gamestation masters were quite cute&pretty, the girls i mean. the guys...well..they just look geeky. =\ Which brings me to the point - why at gaming/hardware conventions they always employ pretty girls as models/game masters but the guys there all CMI one? So unfair leh! Where are the handsome guys? Bubu says because handsome guys don't game. I dunno whether to laugh or cry, because i do agree with that statement and when i think abt it, bubu indirectly saying himself also. LOL~
Cosplay. Supposed to be 2 characters from WoW.
It was almost 4pm when we left the convention. Headed to suntec lvl 2. Lurfu wanted to act chi-chi by drinking at starbucks coffee. And so we did. haha. We got lucky. Reached there nia immediately found armchair seats~ hoho. I had hot chocolate like always and bubu drank raspberry frappi. bubu noticed the whole store was manned and managed by malays and he told me something which made my jaw drop. Wonder what would happen if all of them knew that Starbucks was owned by Jews who used the earnings to fund their operation to get rid of the Arabs in the middle east. O_O!! Oh my goodness. What a shocking revelation!
2 shots of bubu with my super happy white dude who gains unwanted attention. lol. sweetie gave his to a kiddo who wanted it. aww...
After that it was STILL early and we went to marina to walk. Bubu bought 2 t-shirts for me =) thanks larling~ i splurged 70bucks on lingerie. Cos too cute le the design, i badly needed some new ones. ha~ Because of all the trying and choosing and then subsequently getting lost, we became rather late for our dinner reservation at Al Dente.
Reached esplanade at 7pm. Finally, we were at the place we had waited so long to dine at. Lol. Ambience and service was just fantastic. Weather was good too, thank God it didn't rain or else no more alfresco dining. Come to think of it, 6months ago we were down at lvl 1 glutton's square. Now 6months from then, 'upgrade' to lvl 2 at Al Dente's liao. haha~
first shot of me after i cut my hair. really been unwilling to take pic after i cut my hair. i miss my long hair. *sobs*
Love ^_^
Our Appetizers
Cream of wild forest mushroom - yummilicious
Caesar salad - surprisingly we both liked this ALOT. damn nice salad~
Main courses
Smoked chicken Fettucini
Mediterranean Fusilli
Both pastas were not too bad. Not fantastic but definitely above average. The cream sauce with fettucini was subtle, not too overpowering yet favourful. The tomato sauce for the fusilli was herby and rich =) As expected, both pastas were cooked Al Dente style. Many people might not like it if they always go pasta mania. 'cos pasta mania tends to OVERcook their pastas such that it's abit on the NUA side. Im pretty okay with both since i always go pasta mania to eat and my mom always cooks pasta al dente style. haha~ I have the best of both worlds =p
Dessert
Flower Blossom at Haagen Daz.
AIYAH! wah i tink i'm really wols. lol. i suddenly just realised, as in at the point when i was blogging, that we also had dessert at haagen daz exactly 1 year ago, on the day we got together. @_@
Heh. Wonderful time spent, fantastic company, great day. what else can i ask for? simply elated that you like the book. love you loads! =)
