Saturday, January 21, 2012 I just want to dig a hole and hide inside right now... Why am I feeling this way? Monday, January 16, 2012 Christmas 2011 and Welcoming 2012 Long overdue post, because blogger refused to let me upload my photos successfully. Christmas 2011 (25.12.2011) Anyways, I had a wonderful Christmas 2011 celebrating with my one true love. Sometimes I really wonder what is so nice about me that makes him want to stick with me, even after I have been so mean to him. I delegated the planning for Christmas day to him, and I think he started planning like 1 day before the actual day. That's because he always procrastinate (See! I am being mean again.) Nonetheless, I am very touched that he had planned a wonderful evening for the both of us. He came to my house to pick me up at 11am. We travelled to Clarke Quay, and he brought me to Brewerks for lunch. Funny thing is, he had forgotten we have gone there together before, during a gathering with his secondary school friends. Haha.  I ordered the same food I did the last time I was there, Bangers and Mash, because I love sausages and sauerkraut. After lunch, as spent part of the afternoon shopping at the Central. But there was actually nothing much to shop there, and the most exciting shop was the shop that sells overpriced Hello Kitty stuff. So, we left Clarke Quay early, and proceeded to his office to watch movies on his laptop.Afterwards, he brought me to Chijmes for dinner. I was excited because I have not dined that Chijmes before, and I thought we would be having something that I have not tried before, at somewhere romantic. But.... he had made reservations at Hogs Breath Cafe, which has no ambience, and it's something I have eaten in Australia. He said we can go somewhere else if I do not wish to dine at Hogs Breath Cafe, but I insisted that we go along with what he had planned, since he had put in effort to make plans for that day. (This is the part when I felt that I was being very mean to him, but it's not the worse part of the day.)  We ordered something from the Christmas menu. There's lobster bisque, which is one of my favourite soups, but I think they have put some beer in the soup, which made it taste a little weird. Nonetheless, I finished every single drop of the soup. Chunks of lobster meat. :) Then this came.... both of us got a shock, because we didn't expect the prawns and crayfish to be served cold. It only states fresh oysters in the menu, which we know will be served raw. we had a hard time swallowing the food from this platter, because we both preferred warm food. Luckily there was this other platter with piping hot food. The calamari rings and mussels were awesome. The COLD crayfish. -.-" Baby ordered apple cider for his drink. He knew that it's a beer, and that both of us don't drink, but he said he wanted to try it anyway. Just for your information, it's awful. I really hate beers, but I did help him to drink a substantial amount. Haha. The desserts for our meal. Not fantastic, but I don't blame them because they don't specialise in desserts.  After dinner, baby said he wanted to go to Orchard to see the Christmas lighting. I was very reluctant to go, because I know that it will be very crowded, and I dislike crowded places. But since it's Christmas, I agreed to go ahead with his request.We saw a parade along Orchard, with rather old people dancing. Haha. Here are some photos of the lightings.     While walking along Orchard road, and he was taking photos of the lighting, I kept a black face and complained about the crowd and how much I wanted to go home and rest. But baby kept being very patient with me, and then, he revealed that he had actually bought tickets for a movie that I had wanted to watch, as part of his Christmas plan!!!!!!!!!!I was soooooooo guilty for giving the black face while we were in Orchard. He had wanted to give me a surprise, but I did not appreciate his efforts. I am a super bad girlfriend. At this moment, I wonder how can he ever love a person like me. Whenever I tell someone what happened on Christmas Day, that person will feel that I am very bad to my boyfriend. I admit that I am a very mean girlfriend, but I can be very nice when I am nice to him, just that I don't go around telling everyone. Nevertheless, I cannot let this carry on and I must try to be a nicer gf (let this post be my reminder at all time). Otherwise, if I lose this wonderful guy someday, I will regret for my entire lifetime. Back to some light-hearted topics. At the Hello Kitty shop, at the Central, I bought a Hello Kitty planner as a Christmas gift for myself.  It's much smaller than then one I had for 2011, since I no longer have a real need for one anymore. But I still do update my planner and have indicated all the important dates (anniversary, birthdays, etc.) inside. This are some of the Christmas presents I have received. Inside the Crabtree and Evelyn bag is a hand cream from Baby. We have both agreed on not getting gifts for Christmas, but he cheated and bought me a gift. I didn't get him anything (guilty). :(The Hello Kitty clothes hanger is from Baby's sister, and the rest are bags of candies from my colleagues.  New Year 2012 (1.1.2012) Since Baby planned and paid for everything on Christmas, and I am a very fair person, I decided that I should plan, and pay for everything on New Year Day. After hearing much rave about how good the dim sum at Taste Paradise is, I decided to bring Baby there for lunch. The dim sum is really awesome!!!!!! The place was very atas-ly decorated as well. But Baby is always upset when I spend too much money (but he's perfectly fine when I say I want to buy clothes, shoes, or an iPad for myself, for entertainment use). Baby holding the order list, which we have to fill up.  Look at how atas looking the teacup is! I think it's more English-teacup-looking, than cheena-looking. There is a cupboard of fake drawers separating us and staff working behind the drawers. X.O. Sauce Chee Cheong Fun. It's really delicious. The best 叉烧酥 I have ever eaten. This is the no. 1 highly recommended food on HungryGoWhere. 小笼包 小笼包 with foie gras. Honesty, this is not worth it. I can taste the pork more than the foie gras, so might as well just get the original 小笼包. Tasty 流沙包. Look at how much 咸蛋 filling they have! Slurps! The long-waited Chee Cheong Fun with scallops. The 1st time round they served us the prawns one, which is not what we have ordered. In order for them to re-prepare the correct dish, we waited for more than 40 mins! And there is nothing special about this dish. I think he was satisfied with his food. Haha. Look at the details on the inside of the atas-looking teacup. I have made reservations at Gyu Kaku for dinner, but he refused to go there, saying that it's very expensive, and he doesn't want me to spend too much money. So dinner was a home-cooked pasta (cooked by me). No photos of the pasta, but I can tell you how much I failed at making such a simple dish.1. I used a high heat to fry the garlic and the sausages, causing the garlic to be chao ta and stained the pot. 2. I forgot to put sugar in the sauce, causing the sauce to be too sour. And just to let you know (again) how nice my bf is: 1. He helped me to scrub the pot, because I couldn't get the chao tar stain off. 2. He said that the too sour sauce was very 开胃. 3. He finished all the pasta and the sauce, even though it's too sour, and because he felt sorry for me that my family didn't appreciate my efforts to cook. I am truly a very lucky girl. |
