Our 5th Valentines’ Day

we took leave yest to cele the valentines’ day, cos i originally will b having a call from 8pm – 9pm on valentines’ day itself (but it was subsequently rescheduled).

thanks to ms wee and bf who lost $40 to me over mahjong on sun, we got to drive out hah (as you noe, it is expensive to drive out an off-peak car on weekday afternoon, and somemore to city area where parking rates are scary). and this yr valentines’ day was abit different, we decided to do away with buying each other expensive gifts since we are saving up for our wedding. great, cos no need to crack my brain so hard to think of wad to buy hah. anyway we had lunch at this restarant called recipes by shatec, at the treasury (city hall area). as the name suggests, it is a restaurant helmed by shatec students as part of their course curriculum. didnt noe that they serve only set lunches and no ala-carte items in the afternoon. we ended up jus ordering 1 set to share since we were not very hungry hah.

our $16.90++ set includes a carrot soup (nice!) with bread, shepherd’s pie (so-so, still prefers the one from brewerkz alot hah), chocolate tart (great!) and coffee/tea. quite not bad i think.

next up, we headed to bugis for some KTV! dear needs to satisfy her singing itch hah. so we went to the atas K Suites at illuma. it was our first time there and quite a nice place. the system was not bad and the room was prettily done up for a great K session. the room charge was $10++ per hour and we need to order at least 2 items. we each ordered a pot of tea at $11++ each (cheapest drink is soft drink at $10++! blood-sucker). quite a gd 3-hour session we had hah. and thanks to a monday promo where only the first hour is chargeable, our bill was cut from $73 (gulp) to $50 hah.

dinner was at Gyu-Kaku, a jap BBQ restaurant. there are a few outlets and we went to the newest one beside anchorpoint (where zhou’s kitchen used to be). quite a nice place but we thot the food was so-so only. maybe cos we didnt order their top-grade wagyu beef hah. anyway we had beef, pork belly, chicken and assorted mushroom. cos we were still not too hungry, that was enough to fill us to the brim hah. we still miss the “gan bei” BBQ we had in taipei! thats seriously gd stuff man!

our little gift exchange

she hand-made sth for me hah. this was the 2nd time she attended a workshop in order to make some handicraft stuff for me hah. really appreciate it and totally love it! thanks for all the effort. as for me, i got her 2 little cans of garrett popcorn and a card hah. a simple valentines’ day celebration for us, but i enjoyed every min of it. thanks for being a part of my life.

our 5th valentines day and counting

happy valentines’ day!
