Valentine's Day 09

Another year of V'day has passed and I think these two years of V'day are the most memorable so far! Last year I had a special invitation card from nixon and the whole day of program planned. This year, it was something special and also interestingly contradicting.

Nix planned to go to Demsey hills for V'day night program, in which he has sent me a interesting presentation on! I had the choice of Long Beach, Jumbo and western food from Brewhouse. The presentation on Long Beach and Jumbo was quite interesting. Long Beach serves Toadstools while Jumbo serves Black Pepper Sea Spiders.. hmmm I am not sure if those are edible though.. Interesting menu. The whole set of menu was thought up and done up by Nix, which was a shock to me cz I didn't know he can actually write so well! Dear Jia you oh! And I really appreciate the effort. =)

I have also planned a interesting V'day afternoon, and although things didn't go the way we planned it to, we had a wonderful V'day. A few days before V'day, I went to IMM and wet market to get ingredients for the special lunch! Sushi picnic! TaDA!!!!



The sushi were made with nix's help, and I also had grilled salmon and chicken with teriyaki sauce. Doesn't the food look appetising?

Originally we planned to go to Botanic Gardens for a nice relaxing afternoon with our sushi picnic. However, by the time we finished making the sushi, both of us were feeling lazy and the weather didn't look too pretty. We ended up in the garden closest to our place, Japanese Garden! On the bright side, there were not many people there and the scenery is beautiful!

We set up our picnic and spent the lazy afternoon away munching on our hard work and playing poker.
As said, both of us were too lazy to go to far away place for meals. Thus, we ended up in the Long Beach in IMM! We had our favourite Baby Squid, tried the drunken prawn, a veg and Crabmeat Mee Sua. The food were quite nice, but I think they added too much MSGs in the food cz my throat was quite dry when I got home.
We ended our V'day with a session of mahjong with another couple, chris and liting! hahh.. I guess we are a bunch of gamblers. Fancy playing mahjong on a V'day. Oh well! Chris was really lucky and skillful! He was the only one that won in the game and I was the biggest loser I guess. hahh. Lost most of the chips. Lucky we were playing on Ice-cream only. This means I owe them one ice-cream treat! Time to scoot off and relax now!
