♥Valentine's Day 2008
Happy Valentine's Day to all, whether attached or not, hope you guys did have some fun out with your boyfriends and friends! Sorry to Poly students man, it's study time. But not for me! I'm not going to let the studies get into me, and ignore this special day for Weijie and I. Like seriously, I think it's a day worth celebrating, at least to acknowledge your relationship with your boy or girl. My dad and sis thinks it's dumb, and my brother adds-on, but that's because he has no Girlfriend YET. Hahaha. They are jealous lah.
We celebrated Valentine's Day this year abit more special than other usual days, because we were going to have our first ever picnic. Weijie had something for me, and asked me to go over to his house area to meet him. I already expected flowers from him, but I wished it was tulips instead of roses. But I got roses. I wanted to be special and different, when everyone's holding roses, I'm holding tulips! But oh well, I could compare with the size of the bouquet, mine was pretty big.
The only thing that was missing for the picnic was strawberries. We went to the shop 'n' save supermarket in his neighbourhood- the bukit batok branch, to look for strawberries, what the fuck! They had mouldy berries. It looked like strawberries rolled in dust, then put into a nice transparent box. Goodness! I will never ever dare buy fresh foods from there. Better check the expiry dates of dried goods too. They may be overdue too. We went to check out the other NTUC, they don't even have berries.
Took a bus down to Cathay to catch a planned movie, Juno. It's about this girl and teenage pregnancy. I went online the day before to check out the ratings for the show. Critics say it's good, but I say it's a no-no. Not worth paying the money at the movies. Try to grab a free show for it. Good thing I managed to get the tickets at a student price of 6dollars instead of $7.50. We walked over to Plaza Singapura to look for Strawberries. We were trying to look around Carrefour for cheap strawberries. Oh my gosh. The only ones they had was californian strawberries, which are extra large and also extra money. It costs $16.90 for 12 pieces. I purposely bought whip cream for the strawberries, so we can't go without them. Weijie decided to just buy it, since were already running late.We headed down to the Botanic Gardens for our Picnic! I was quite surprised to see so many couples there. I was only expecting like maybe 5pairs or so. We found a spot on a large grass patch and spread the food out on the ground.Let the Pictures below talk;
Taking the food out of the bag.
I finally placed all the containers on the mat.
The bouquet of roses and the bottle. Looks classy and romantic together right.
The food I prepared:
Strawberries and Oranges, English Clam Chowder, Giant Prawns, Marshmallows, Whip Cream, Water Biscuit, French Brie Cheese, Shaved Honey Baked Ham, Nutella and Blueberry Jam.It's just sparkling juice, he didn't get drunk.
Cheers!
My turn to have some!
I prepared the clam chowder. Instead of adding milk, I added water. Oopsies! But it still tasted quite nice leh.
Giant Prawns. As big as my mouth can! Yes lah, I got big mouth.
These are the expensive Strawberries I'm talking about. SEE! One strawberry almost as big as an orange!
Check out these strawberries! As big as my palm!
Don't cha love our super BIG earrings?
We are so in love with californian strawberries.
Mischievious kiddo, eat like a pig.
WE stands for Weijie and E-lis! Cool beans, we just found out.
Get that shot baby!
Are you tempted?
Our Creations! Look tasty huh.
Yum Yummy Yum! Hate the cheese though.
We tried to toast marshmallows while preventing the fire from extinguishing. And also tried to be abit romantic lah, but the wind was a spoiler.
Ooh, the mini fan comes in handy during picnics. Can you see the wind in my hair?
I duper love this picture! I look slim and *ahem* prettaye. HAHAHA.
My cooler boyfriend.
I tried to kiss you but you turned me away.
Random. pose. whatever.
His collar bone makes him look like he has a Hot Body. But the fact is he's a fatty!
Let you see my toot face.
Left our footprints at Botanic Gardens. But not our shoes.
We left the place only at 8.30pm, and Weijie sent me home. He paid his respects to my daddy for CNY, and daddy invited him into the house. So funny, we didn't have any orange, so when I entered the house, I quickly took two oranges in a bag from the nearest table and passed it to Weijie when daddy wasn't looking. Daddy went like, "Eh, I thought I put a bag of orange there, how come not there already ah?" So sarcastic lah, but then he didn't mind lah. In the end he made Weijie bring home a whole box of mandarin oranges as a "punishment". Hahaha. We have too many at home already. Daddy damn stingy lah, give Weijie angpao not even 1/5 of mine.
I had a jolly good time today, Thanks Weijie for being so lovely, but I hope you will take the initiative to plan in future! LOVE YOU WEIJIE THE A-HOLE! HAHAHA!
But I also know I'm so dead because I didn't study at all today.
All the love in the world.
I'm
talking champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
