Played mahjong at yl's house, lost $6 in total. Yl's boyfriend and jy won, her boyfriend is too pro. Went yishun to eat prata but our main purpose is to go holy cow creamery because yl wants to go. Tried their double scoop ice-cream charcoal waffle with mao shan wang and earl grey lavender (maybe? can't remember). For durian lovers, you have to try it. Even someone like me, who seldom eat durians nowadays, like it. I'm sure durian lovers will love it too. I do eat durians but feel that it is too heaty so I tend to avoid eating it too often. My dinner is only $2 since yl treated us to waffles haha. It feels great to be chauffeured back most of the time.
Meetup with ei8ht for peranakan food at guan hoe soon after finding good reviews online but we were disappointed. It doesn't really taste like peranakan food, tastes like chinese food I feel. The waiter kept asking us to order large portion when we insisted on medium. I thought we were going to sing birthday song at the restaurant so I brought the cake there. Ended up bringing the cake with me everywhere we go. Wanted to go awfully chocolate after that but my cake is from awfully chocolate. It will be quite stupid cause it defeats the purpose of me buying it in advance.
Changed the venue to churros factory and I remember that churro101 has a tagline 'better than a boyfriend'. Well, I can't say my boyfriend is still better because I don't have one. I like churros but I think that having a boyfriend is still better. Went around borrowing lighter from other shops cause churros factory doesn't have it. Managed to surprise jy, although I have no idea why she didn't see me carrying the cake around. The box is so big, even evil twin sees it. Bought chocolate rum and cherry flavour, it's nice but a little sweet for me. Purposely sent nat home cause we want to see her 'mysterious' house, the house where nobody has ever gone to despite so many years of friendship, but we still didn't manage to see it. Never mind, next time then.
Bought a new spectacle, like finally. Bought it at owndays, chose the desired frame I want, took eye examination and 20 minutes later my spectacle is ready. This is subject to availability, sometimes if they don't have stock, you may have to wait for a week or so. Chose a blue frame although it looks like black. Only 3 people noticed the change so far, you have to be really observant to notice it. I've used up my sheet masks bought from tw, I want to go back and buy more. Tw's masks are more moisturised and thinner.
Meetup with DBA01 at badoque upper thomson, was really happy when they arranged to meet there cause I have direct bus from my house. Had blue oyster, garlic chilli chuka (octopus) and kepak bing bing (spicy chicken wings) for starters. The chicken wings are insanely spicy, not that I tried, not after I saw their reaction after taking just one bite. There's a lot of chilli padi, even if you scrape it off, the flavour is still there. Shared flounder fish and chippies with boonie cause the portion is too big for us. Badoque mojito (lime and mint) is nice although it's a little sour but I like citrus taste. The fish is tender but I don't think the food is nice, sorry no offence, just my personal opinion. Failed birthday surprise cause bib kept waving the birthday cake in front of us and got nagged at by ji. The cake is too sweet for my liking.
Movie night with colleagues, watched Marvel's 'Captain America Civil War'. Although I love blue but sorry I am #teamironman. I wouldn't have watched it if it wasn't for ironman and it's free, so why not? I was actually contemplating whether to watch this movie so imagine how excited I was when I knew that my company is going to sponsor us haha. The movie is nice, always watch till the end for marvel movies, they always have something at the end. Full of action, never a dull moment, that's why I prefer marvel to dc. I can't imagine anyone falling asleep but someone did. Such a waste to miss some parts of the show. Antman and spiderman joined in the fight too, I watched antman's movie so I knew who he was. There's a new character I've never seen before. I still think that avengers is nicer cause they introduced new characters with powers I've never seen before but I knew what the new characters are capable of in this movie. They aren't exactly new anyway, there goes the element of surprise. Marvel's action film never fails, as always.
前阵子有件开心的事想跟你分享，对你来说可能不是很重要但我却想让你第一个知道。结果始终没说，因为觉得你可能对我的事不感兴趣。不管发生了开心或是不开心的事，我总是想第一时间让你知道。我过得一点都不好，一点都不开心。虽然还是很想待在你的身边，可是我却做了你希望我做的事。不想见的人一直出现，想见的人却不见踪影。你应该过得很好吧？这样也好，我不会再惹你生气让你不开心，你也不会嫌我烦。谁会在我每次逃离他身边的时候把我给找回来？我知道你忘了，可是我还在等你带我去三盅两件。说到这个，突然想吃肉脞面。
从前从前有个人爱你很久，但偏偏，风渐渐，把距离吹得好远。
Attended my cousin's wedding banquet at gim tim imperial court restaurant last sunday. We took many pictures using the props at the photo booth. The bride and her mum looks so pretty that night, the bride looks like a disney princess. My impression of brides are their makeup are too thick which I don't like but my cousin's makeup was all right, at least it looked nice on her. The food is all right but not as good as I expected it to be.
Went to visit teo heng's new outlet at causeway yesterday with all the professional singers. Yeong as usual sang his oldies, he even know how to sing cantonese and hokkien songs. 佩服。Ji livens the atmosphere with his fast songs, mel can hit all the high notes, jeff is the best among us. I like that I don't have to say a thing, they just automatically selected jay's songs for me. Went to have mango bingsu for dessert at kokomama, bingsu is really popular nowadays. It usually consists of ice shavings, condensed milk, korean rice cake, ice cream and fruits. Went to wang cafe and sat down for a while waiting for time to pass and headed over to kith cafe. Ordered truffle fries, calamari, smoked duck pizza, smoked salmon pizza and kung pao chicken pizza.
Walked over to the cathay for our movie, if you asked me why do I always choose this place to watch movie, it's because of them. It has become a habit for me to watch movies there since we always do that on wednesdays when we ended school early during our poly days. Watched 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice', I'm neither a fan of both of them. I'm a fan of ironman. This movie wasn't that good as compared to 'The Dark Knight'. I almost fell asleep during the front part but I forced myself to stay awake. It started getting more exciting towards the end with more action. I feel that there isn't a need to watch this movie, 'The Dark Knight' is way better.
Currently using the app hy introduced, sing by smule. This app needs iOS8 or later, I had to update my iOS in order to use it. You can sing a duet with someone else or find those songs which you can do a solo cover. My vocals are not as good as hy but I tried my best, she's really damn good. You can delete the recording if you find it not as good and record it again until you are satisfied with the results. It is recommended to use earpiece mic for better quality. If you don't mind listening to my not so beautiful voice, you can find me at snowqueen_m.
Dinner at morganfield's, silly me didn't see the signboard of bistro 1855 and went in. Sat there happily waiting for them until yl came and asked me if we are at the right place. Went to check the name on the reservations list and realised that it's not jy. The thing is the staff directed me in when I asked and all this while I didn't know that I'm in the wrong place. Morganfield's was just beside and I thought it was all connected. Sometimes I really think I never put my eyes to good use, really don't know what am I looking at.
Ordered some appetizers to eat while waiting for the rest. Chilli cheese fries is nice but not the popcorn pork. Didn't drink any beer cause I don't like beer. Had sharing platters where we get to choose 3 stickybones flavour, garlic bbq, honey rum and probably spicy asian? Can't remember the last one. Their ribs are really tender, not too tough to cut or chew, I like. We are still a little hungry so we ordered appetizers again. We love the loaded chilli nachos, the spicy chicken wings wasn't too nice I feel.
Ordered a cake/brownie for nat's birthday, the staff just randomly put the cake in front of her while she was talking on the phone. Nice timing and she ended her call so abruptly haha. Reached home at 11 plus, so tired. It's my first time taking downtown line home, luckily we didn't take circle line if not we will go one big round.
I have quite a number of leave this year but not really going anywhere. Well, my plans of going anywhere failed, they either get postponed or cancelled. Currently there's only the plan of going bali but then again if this gets cancelled, I really won't be going anywhere this year. What's the point of having so much leave when I'm not going anywhere? Envious of my friends going for holidays, I want to go too. Sad :(
Steamboat dinner at evil twin's house, it's been a few years since we went there. Bought haidilao tomato soup base but it doesn't taste anything like the original. It's so bland, we had to pour 2 packets but it only makes it slightly better. There's still a difference, disappointed. Bought lesser ingredients than usual but her dad kept adding stuff for us, too full to finish all. He shared his bottles of red and white wine with us, kept on persuading us to drink and he really poured a lot. Not that I drank any of it, I have never drunk wine before.
Played blackjack with them, I kept on losing. Uncle and mag are the only lucky ones to win, uncle is too lucky already. He won double when he is the banker. I lost all my money just before his turn to be banker, luckily I stopped if not I will lose more. I lost the money kelvin lent me too, why so unlucky :( He staked his bet on me and gave me the winnings to guard my wealth but I lost it all. Evil twin and I are really best friends, get lousy cards together and die together but I'm worst than her. Continued second round (mahjong) and I won! Mahjong suits me more haha. We left at 4 plus after finished playing west wind, didn't finish a session since lays got to work the next day.
I thought I can finally go bkk this time round but I guess I really have no fate with bkk. Have been planning to go there since a long time ago but somehow or another the plan always fails. Why is it so difficult for me to go there, why are there so many obstacles? Can I go bkk? Does anyone want to go with me? :( Sigh, I give up.
Happy Chinese New Year! More additions to our big family this year. Coincidentally the cousins are all wearing the same colour code. Went to rooftop garden for our 'photoshoot', credits to jovan our photographer. The triplets wore the same shoes. Really love my 初一 dress although it's a bit short.
Caught 'mermaid' movie by stephen chow on 初二, a comedy romance. The mermaid is innocent and pretty. I like the movie, it got more funny as the film progressed. Predictable storyline. Lots of laughter and tears (from hy), I knew she will cry, always so sentimental. I feel touched but didn't cry. The only 2 movies that make me cry are 'hachiko' and 'money not enough 2'. Maybe animals and elderly are my greatest weaknesses. It's difficult to make so many people laugh while watching a movie but it's even more difficult to make them cry. If you want a good laugh, you can watch 'mermaid'. The message the director is trying to deliver is to love our environment and stop doing harmful things to it just for your own personal gain. Hy and I were in the shelter while the rest took pictures despite the rain.
Dinner with bel and min at gusto, we shared truffle fries, seafood squid ink pizza and carbonara since we are not that hungry. Ordered somersby apple cider, mixture of apple flavoured drink and alcohol (4.5%), suits my taste. Received my birthday present, I'll definitely use it. Went to walk around after that and tried not to be in the train by 9.30pm as it is considered too early according to bel.
情人节，有个人陪，有花收，也挺好的。
要离开就赶快离开，离开了就不要再回来了。自私的我没办法说出祝你幸福这种话。我对你的付出你不曾放在心上。就算我很难过，你也未曾心疼过。跟别人的毫无反应比起来，这样的反应确实很可笑。不要再舍不得了，对方并没有相同的感受，他的未来没有你的位置。唯一后悔的只是没办法留你在身边。照顾好自己，不要生病，我就不会担心了。
我好想你，好想你，却不露痕迹。我好想你，好想你，却欺骗自己。
Dinner at y cube mookata, food was good, wouldn't mind going again. Wide variety of food to choose from, they even have abalone, salmon, ice cream. Mixture of bbq and steamboat, soup was nice but it got more salty towards the end, could be due to the bbq meat juices flowing down. They bought a cake for me, I managed to finish half but it was getting sweeter so I stopped. Knowing me, I usually don't pay attention to my surroundings so I didn't notice that mag was holding a cake on the way here until I heard yl ask why is there a cake. I was a bit slow, still thinking whose birthday is nearing until I realised a few seconds later that it's me. I also happened to see jy opening the box under the table after dinner. I pretended I never see anything and looked away, wanted to ask her to pass me something then I saw the candle. Too obvious already, I can't feign ignorance anymore. After dinner we tried our luck calling Teo Heng, managed to get a room at suntec much to our surprise. Most of them haven't been to Teo Heng for so long that they didn't know how to choose songs so I chose all old songs for them while jy chose all the latest ones. We ended up listening to the original singer rather than sing k. Too tired when I reached home at 2 plus.
Steamboat dinner at crystal jade (zhongshan outlet), was expecting to eat my favourite tomyam. Ended up eating 麻辣 because they took the wrong order, I don't like :( With expectations comes disappointment :( 不开心 :( Everywhere I go, I always choose tomyam soup base for steamboat unless if they don't have. I want to eat tomyam :(
When someone likes the stuff you gave them, they will use it in front of you so that you know they like it. If you have never seen them use it, it means they don't like it. That is why actions always speak louder than words. They may say they like it but you don't believe it. 也许就是因为很任性，很霸道，很固执，才会这么惹人厌吧？每次都希望你会送我回家，可是我却总是没办法说出口。送我回家这四个字很简单，可是我却怕被拒绝，怕尴尬，脸皮不够厚。又没有说不要你送，是我的暗示不够明显吗？直接说我送你回家不就好，为什么还要问 :( 怎么可能会不要你送，就这样走掉，什么都不懂，不开心 :( 你什么时候才会看穿我的心思？与其收到祝福的话，我更希望你能陪在我身边。还会不会见面是个未知数。我想应该没有机会一起出国了，可惜 :( 杰伦要来开演唱会了，我还是希望你能陪我去。这些都是我没办法对你说出口的话。Feelings don't come with a switch, you can't turn it off as and when you like. You can pretend like it doesn't bother you but deep down, you know that's not true.
Happy CNY, everybody! Happy birthday to myself too.
