Valentine Day 2009

Another date for double celebrations. It was our monthly anniversary, hubby's birthday and valentine day. As usual, everywhere will be super packed and dinners would be super expensive. So, we decided to go somewhere special this year for our dinner.

First part of the celebrations started with the dinner I prepared for hubby. The last time i did up a special dinner was when we first got our house..think we shld do this more often cos its super special and not too ex. Anyway, I went home in the afternoon to do the marketing. Total expenses is only around $30.

Appetizer is Italian Style Scallop..I named it, "You are my Sun." cos the scallop happens to be orange color.

Main course..Pork Ribs with Teriyaki Style Cod Fish, breaded scallops and corn. Yummilicious but serving was too much.


Desserts.




The setting. I think I did a pretty good job with the setting. There was strawberry scented candle-light, rose petals, music in the background and our dimmed spot light. Beats any atas restaurant hands-down. And most important it is much cheaper!


Next day, its dear's turn to plan the day. Started with shopping at Orchard. Free ice-cream to start our sweet day.


We ventured out of Singapore for our dinner. Took a lot of effort to print the maps and google for this place cos we couldn't find it the first time. But thank God, we found it on our 2nd attempt this round - Orang Asli Seafood Restaurant.









Food quality is not that good i feel...the taman sentosa market is much better. But for the view and experience, it was quite worth it. Our dinner with mantis prawn, drunken prawns, cheese calamari and lala only cost us around RM$80 ~ SGD$38.

After dinner we decide to venture somewhere new..discovered this place...we use to have 2 of this in Kallang Leisure Park. This is a cheap alternative to KTV. Costs RM$1 per song ~ SGD$0.40.


Their supermarket is really different, things are sold in the cartons...canned food, drinks etc. Guess its because Malaysia is quite big so its not easy to visit the supermarket every week. If I stay in Malaysia, I'll need a super big fridge to store all these food. Everything else there reminds me of Giant..even prices were rather similar.



My gift from dear. LV Neverfull GM and free roses from Orchard on V'day.




My gift to dear. Husky~

I was still moody about the current down period of my life until i read this..guess i shouldn't really brood about my situation. Time to buck up and get over it!

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always
there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see
the world, I will marry you.'


One day,someone donated a pair of eyes to her...
When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything,
including her boyfriend.


He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The
sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected
that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life
led her to refuse to marry him.


Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her
saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before
they were yours, they were mine.'


This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who
was always by their side in the most painful situations.



Life Is a Gift


Today
before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't
speak.



Before
you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone
who has nothing to eat.


Before
you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone
who's crying out to GOD for a companion.



Today
before you complain about life - Think of someone who went
too early to heaven.



Before
whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.



And when
you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your
job.



And when
depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on
your face and think: you're alive and still
around.
