For a change, Dear was the chef for the night as requested. Considering that he is still a newbie, we decided to go for less challenging dishes. Thus, we bought sausages and ready-marinated pork chop served with fries and salad.
Too many things have happened recently. I simply did not have the mood to blog, not even for my birthday. Now that submission is officially over, I shall just blog about it now. For the sake of my birthday and to forget about some stuffs for the time being.
The worst has happened.
Another year of shit again.
Hurray!!!!!
*sighs*
Was surfing on Sex and the City and chanced upon this test.....My man is actually matched with.....
But the latter portion is absolutely right on the spot!!! Dear, you are sooooo Harry!!!! Love you to bits!!!! *muackzzzzzzzzz*
Overall, the dinner was not that bad considering that it was the 1st proper dinner that Dear ever prepared for me. =p Bravo!!!! Thank you Dear!!!! More dinners to come k? *muackzz*
Since we had nothing to do at home, we decided to go for a spin with Timmy. Firstly. we had drinks at West Coast McCafe and Dear complained that he queued up in vain for his milkshake as the machine was spoilt. Then, we attempted to walk Timmy but had to pull it out from some bushes in the end. We forgot Timmy is not a dog. After putting Timmy back into the car, we walked to the coast and admire the night view of PSA. When I pointed to the Jurong Islands, Dear suggested we could go to Jurong Hill to take a closer look at them. That was then I realised there is actually something called Jurong Hill in Singapore. Ignorant me. There is nothing much to see in Jurong Hill too anyway. We then headed to Boon Lay Market for our favourite nasi lemak when a bunch of smokers stood beside us.
All I can say is, I can really eat alot nowadays. hmmmm....

HAPPY 29TH MONTH ANNIVERSARY DEAR!!!!!

It is great to know that you can always talk to your best pal who will always be there for you, despite both of you not being able to meet up often at times.
The restaurant and its...
... ridiculous queue
The best buddies and...
... their delicious dinner
And while they were waiting for their "ah-mat" to fetch them.
Enjoying a MacDonald breakfast with your loved ones while admiring the beautiful scenery surrounding you.

2 consecutive nights at St. James can really be exhausting. Seriously need a break man. Girls, we are old liao. Rest awhile k.
For more information on the clubbing sessions, check out Moreen's blog. Simply too lazy to write.
After reading my primary school best friend, Sandy's recent entry about Doomsday, I felt that all my worries and thoughts might be just pointless.
As I was watching the documentary, fear and worry started to overwhelm me. I asked myself, should that day really come, how will it be like and who do I want to be with? The answer was very obvious. I want to be with my family and Dear. But I know Dear will want to be with his family too. So does Mei who will want to be with her boyfriend. Likewise, her boyfriend will have the same thoughts too. The chain is infinite. Thus, I figured out that all of us, and I mean the whole of Singapore should just gather at a place. Perhaps Padang? Airport? I guess there isn't a place huge enough to house the entire population. But my point is, I can just imagine all of us gathering at a place, hugging and kissing each other other while waiting for our deaths.
Perhaps we may meet again in the other world. Or we may just be reduced to ashes or fossils for the next generation to uncover.
But is the prophecy really true? Is Doomsday really coming? With the recent catastrophes of Myanmar and China, I can't help but feel pessimistic about it.
If the world is really coming to an end in 2012 i.e. in 4 years' time, why should I be worrying about my future when it will simply be reduced to dust eventually? Rather, I should be thinking how I can live my life to the fullest and to spend quality time with my loved ones. Not forgetting to do more good deeds in fear that I may land up in hell after death.
So where should I start now?
Since it is Vesak Day tomorrow, I shall whip up a vegetarian meal for my family and Dear.
阿彌陀佛. 善哉善哉.
Sighs.
On the very same day that I had my BK burger alone, I decided to visit the library and borrowed some books for self-enrichment.
Another strange action of the day.
These were my picks:
A relationship may stagnant at some point of time, perhaps self-enrichment may come in handy.
As Dear often complained that he has difficulty finding food on 1st and 15th, I thought maybe I can solve this problem.
Lastly, I decided to get this as the title kind of intrigued me.
Dear and I went to watch Ironman on Tuesday and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Quite a good show actually.
For those who intend to watch it, remember to stay till the end as there is an additional scene which gives hints that there may be a sequel to it. Like what Dear said, this extra scene is to reward those who actually have the patience to sit through the LOOOOONG list of credits. Credits to Dear who read about this information from some magazine.
And for those who missed it, TOOOO BBBAADD!! :p
I am someone who hates to be alone.
And fastfood.
However, I decided to eat alone in Westmall Burger King today.
Strange.
Looking at the food on my tray, I regretted my choice. Instead of getting my usual Turkey Bacon Double, I thought I should have some vegetables in my meal, thus I decided to try the Teriyaki Whopper meal. In addition, I ordered another ice-cream which cost $1 only with purchase of a meal. Call me cheapskate. After unwrapping the humongous burger, I only wished that Dear was there with me.
While I was eating the burger, my thoughts started to stray again as I stared blankly at the walking passer-by through the glass fenestration.
I felt so aimless.
Right in the middle of the day at 3pm, I was having lunch by myself while others were busy working and leading a meaningful life.
I felt so pathetic.
A Korean tai-tai with 2 children sat at a table in front of me. I started to wonder if I would ever be like her. A full-time housewife who sacrifices her career to spend time with her children. I doubt I am capable of that. Financially and psychologically.
But what am I to say all these now? I don’t even know if I will have a career. Not to mention marriage or even children.
Looking at the people around me:
My schooling friends are planning for their graduation trip and some have even gone for it.
My working friends are earning more and more money.
My attached friends are planning for marriage.
My married friends are happily married and having children.
Me?
Nothing.
I am just living a day by a day. Waiting for things to happen. Hoping that things will turn out the way I hope.
What am I going to do now?
I guess I will not be able to have an answer for the time being.
For now, and once in my life, I just want to stop thinking about the future.
But this sense of loss is killing me.
I guess I have no choice but to live with it.
Once the truth unveils on 30th May, I shall start thinking about it again.
Hopefully.

Farm visiting@Sungei Tengah
It was a farm-visiting day for Dear and I as we headed to Sungei Tengah. As Dear has an empty fish tank at home, we thought we could do something about it. Thus, we went to Qian Hu to buy some fishes and equipments. I wanted to have a try of the fish spa but as time did not permit, we gave it a miss. Perhaps I can bring my family here next time.
Our next stop was Farmart. Supposedly, it had a bee farm, koi farm, lotus farm, quail farm, orchid Farm, ornamental Fish Farm, pet farm, beer garden, and lots more. Dear said I would be so excited when I reached. I thought so too as I was indeed thrilled by the number of pets I was expected to see. In the end, it was just a great disapointment. The so-called 'farms' were merely stalls or shops. The number of pets I saw in the 'pet farm' was comparable to the Pet Lovers Centre in Holland Village. And the beer garden? Just another ordinary eatery outlet. We left after buying 2 boxes of local fresh eggs which cost $2 each. *yawns*
We spent around $50 buying the fishes and the neccessary equipments. After a day's effort of setting up the tank, only 2 out of 32 fishes survived. One by one, they started to swim in a spiralling manner and I knew it was another $1 gone. It was really upsetting to see them dying one by one. What a waste of effort and time. *signs*

Mother's Day dinner@Tambuah Mas, Paragon
Will I really look like Mummy when I am old? =(
Mei and Mummy
The dinner
For 3 ladies, we actually ordered 5 dishes!! Thankfully the servings were rather small, except for the assam fishhead. If only Dear was there. But we still managed to finish all the food and even had desserts in addition to the 2 complimentary desserts that the restaurant offered. Impressive!!! The food was not that bad but I thought Sanur Indonesian Restaurant was better. Overall, the meal cost $78 for 5 dishes, 1 coconut drink and 2 desserts. Money well-spent.
Tambuah Mas@Paragon 3.5* out of 5*
As we walked out from Paragon, I saw this saddening sight.
Beheaded
Before - It's glorious moment.
As Mei wanted to get a belt, we went to Heeren and had a mini-window-shopping session. I wonder if it was because I had hibernated for too long, I was appalled that the prices are so freaking high now!!! $25 for a freaking belt when I actually got it for free from buying a dress online which cost less than $20!!! Online wholesale can sell an item for less than $10. Online stores buy from them and jack up the price for more than 2.5 times. And these real stores further jack up again. A belt that may cost $5 in online wholesale can cost $25 now!! Freaking extortion!!!! In the end, I bought a handphone pouch which still cost the same as the one I had and I told Mei that I can lend her my belt. FOC.
Happy Mother's Day, Mummy!!!!

Shabu Shabu Dinner@Ohsumi, Cuppage Plaza
As I had a craving for shabu shabu and the rest did not have any suggestions as to where to go, we decided to go down to my favourite Ohsumi! Though it was kind of expensive and some said the food was rather bland and not filling, I still enjoyed the dinner and had my fill.
Assorted pork for 4
Have you ever seen such a HUGE serving of vegetables?
Itadakimasu!!!!
The idiots who wasted my fi-lim.
Lousy group photo
After much wandering along Orchard Road, they finally decided to go to NewAsiabar for chill-out. For the first time, I actually took a bus with a bunch of friends to go for a chill-out session. In the end, it turned out to be a clubbing session which ended up disastrous for me (refer to previous entry). However, I actually enjoyed myself when I was still sober. The view was magnificient and the drinks wasn't that bad too. Thanks to them, I was sabo-ed by the bartenders and I was asked to perform some 'stunts' which I will never ever forget. For more details, please ask me personally.
Drink of the night - Vodka
Ladies of the Night
The Stunt - Moi on the bartop

Kbox buffet dinner@Kallang Leisurepark
Almost an hour after the clock striked 12, Dear surprised me with this lovely cake. I blew out the candles while lying on the bed. And I supposed the cake is still in his fridge now. Untouched. haiz.
I really wasn't in the mood to celebrate my birthday. Thus, I simply settled for KTV at Kbox Kallang Leisurepark. I did not manage to sing much too as my stomach hurt when I sang. To kill time, it was phototaking session again. But this time, I was not the subject.
