So... Valentines.

It's the 8th of April now, yes, I think I am fully aware of that fact, but internet connection/blogger has just really been horrible to me. The end of this month brings with it a birthday of yours truly, and I truly hope that it brings with it a new laptop (MacbookPro, please!) - or the means to buy it, anyways.

Valentines day was special this year - thanks to the existence of the boyfriend.

There were always admirers - and a person, admired for a majority of the past 20 years of my life, but as life would have it, they were never one and the same. Until now.

I will not lie to you and say this post will be absent of crass, disgustingly lovey dovey pictures, as he worked hard to meet my every whim and fancy in indulging me with my first special valentines.

from the "compulsory" bouquet of flowers that are ridiculously overpriced on said day; A musical carousel that I've been eyeing on;

to a wonderful meal at a new venue - Chef & Brew, with the most scrumptious prawns imaginable! :)

lamb chop with prawns 
-His, although i HAD to have the prawns, it was so good, and I dont take lamb anyways. The prawns were very well marinated and I could feel the sauce exploding in my mouth!

Salmon aglio olio
-yumms. Good too! Im not one for raw salmon as you can tell, but the salmon was fried till crispy, and the combination of it with pasta was very foreign but delectable.

him with his gift - kinda failed iphone cover with our picture on it. :)

getting ready for our fun day ahead! :)

We stopped by Mollydookers coffee bar, right opposite, and had a cup of mocha just because. I thought the place was really cute - from its cosy ambience to the tipping jar - worth a visit if all you want to do is hang out and drink a good cup of coffee!

the entrance.

they serve food, too! Will definitely try my next visit.

choosing his other favourite thing in life - coffee :)

So we headed home and took silly pictures in my living hall - courtesy of the self timer and dante, my DSLR.

Our itinerary for the night was watching moulin rouge, under the soft whirring of the air conditioning and cuddled in each others arms. I was supposed to prepare the "dinner" which was kinda funny because we were both full and I was lazy. Hahaha. So I bought Gravad Lax, thinly sliced salmon from a nearby grocer and cooked beef strips in onion sauce to munch on during the movie. 

His present? The iphone case & a (an attempt, at least) chocolate ganache cake.

It was a day I wouldn't have traded for anything - It was us.

The experience, the attempts, the failures - we spent the whole day together, had good food, good coffee - & fun!

P/S: What do you want to hear about? Any ideas on the new layout theme colour header content etc?

& if you could have anything in a blogshop, what would you want?

I mean like, forget brands and all that, but something youd like to see for sale in lets say *ahem* an impending blogshop with very reasonable prices?

Drop me an email at erina.tsh@gmail.com - you never know, if you play a part & I really like your idea, & I actually implement it, what might arrive in your doorstep?

:P IF. Please & Thank you!

My Valentine.

So at the very beginning of the "morning" I made a phone call to the U.S. and wished him. :)

Wasn't really happy about our condition so I was actually pretty emotional the whole day before.

Many feelings are too private to be put out here but sometimes I just want to give everything up.

Perseverance was never one of my strong traits.

However, I smiled myself to sleep due to a really sweet message and thought I fell asleep to, and suddenly valentines day alone didn't seem as lonely and sad afterall.

Chemistry class was about titrations and IVE FORGOTTEN EVERYTHING, :) then met up with friends and talked a while.

Headed over to Tutti Frutti with Mr. Ragnarok and his owner hahaha only to find that BSC blacked out.

Went to taman tun's instead, and ate to my hearts content over interesting conversations.

So basically we headed over to the florist and made a couple of bets and statements which resulted in us leaving with 3 roses - I'll leave you guys to figure out who were the recipients and who was the payee :D

Headed out with the lion to pasar malam after college and had fun catching up and eating.

I'm really tired and really lazy to elaborate already - basically I met up with a couple of friends, had a few meaningfully sweet phone calls, got a valentine kiss (more of a peck) from someone dear to me, etc, etc.

I had no specific valentine this year :D But still I think you dont need one to enjoy yourself afterall. Hey - I still ended the day with a rose on my desk, a filled tummy, many wishes, the fluttery feeling and good companionships.

Happy Valentines Day :)

Of Valentines & sweet dreams ♥

HAPPY CNY & VALENTINES DAY (BELATED) ♥

just came back from the land of cats , exhausted , and definitely a few kilos heavier .

this is also one reason why i need to get my camera a.s.a.p. =/

i hardly took pictures throughout the trip , and im currently waiting for relatives to email them, to me , which takes normally , forever ? =/

GAH WHY DIDNT I STUDY HARD FOR PMR =/ stoopid brother kept rubbing it in with his dslr . This shows that hard work does pay =/

anyway , i guess i'll post first about last weeks valentines celebration . the fivesome finally got reunited ( flamingo - vania , penguin - yuenling , hyena - natalie , lion/lionturtle - yee en , giraffe - me ) . we headed to FGT , the flamingo's church . The message wasn't too deep , a couple from FGT just shared about the topic "it had to be you" , more to how to know the person was the one and all . Short but meaningful , overall . I guess nowadays in relationships its been more me me me all the time ?

It's really sad seeing so many people just falling in and out of love like that . Because I'll be one to admit that I was one of them . Trying hard still , to wait . I guess its hard but I'd really hate for my husband to hear about the gazillion ex's i have if i didnt wait .

either way , headed for refreshments after that , adrian , joel lim , wee liam , joel han & lawrence was there . Most of the "seniors" I met were already gone , but there were also a few familliar faces .

Nat went for her reunion dinner whilst joel fetched the foursome & weeliam to tropicana city , and we met up with yujie , woonzhien & yeezhian . After not being able to decide on what movie to watch , we ended up goofing around in the arcade , then headed to room18 for dinner .

PICTURES ? =) sorry i'll post about recently soon . =) go rush my uncles for pictures ! =P

mr adrian ! a person that (finally) makes me feel ultra short . (i was tiptoe-ing)

group picture ! -_- i know i looked retarded .


joel lim ! my son in law . ahemmm ahemmm .
