Here's an update on don's birthday.

I screwed up!

I always screw up! i screw up 9 out of 10 times! i'm an encouragement for people who can't seem to do things perfectly cos they can't screw up more than i screw up. and poor don was sick on his birthday :(

Firstly i was late. like an hour late. i was perfectly ahead of time when i was waiting for a cab to go back home but i ended up waiting for more than 1/2 hour and i refused to call for a cab. you know how it is when you've already waited for soooo long and you refuse to pay extra to call for one cos you're sure that a damn cab WILL come along very soon but it never did? GAH!! meanwhile it started to pour. GAHGAH!!! i felt so miserable that i finally swallowed my pride and called one. but nobody answered my call! i was kept waiting while listening to the stupid comfort cab commercial repeat like 5 times. GAHGAHGAH!!!!

Ok. that's not the worst part. when the darn cab finally came along, it took me a freakin' 40mins to get home because it was pouring and the highways and tunnels were jammed up. so theoretically speaking, it would have been faster to ride a train home. not to mention 11.375 times cheaper.

Wait!! you haven't reached the worst part yet! i thought even if i was terribly late, at least i could impress him with my 5-star cooking. alas! in my hurry i forgot to bring the herbs that i needed! and i never realised that until i reached his house and my mum called me. DUH!

So panickypanickypanickypan. i was late and i don't have my stuff. in my panic, my mind went blank and forgot details here and there. i couldn't remember whether i was supposed to add salt or soy sauce/fry the spaghetti or not/how much oil to add etc. i accidentally added sesame oil when i intended to add soy sauce, to a batch of spaghetti (which salt was the thing i'm supposed to add, by the way).

So anyway my noodles were, erm, tasteless. BUT i thought the bacon and mushrooms which i fried were quite yummy! except that they were kinda overcooked and it looked like chinese food instead of italian. hmmm. sorry i didn't take any pictures of it cos it's too embarrassing.

I feel so bad :( i told him i'll cook a better one for him again. he hesitated, and said huh are you sure.

Hmmph. i forgave him cos it was his birthday. and i felt bad that i messed up. should've gone to some nice place for a good birthday dinner instead. booooooooo :(

I'm not gonna be a good housewife! not that i want to be but bwahhhhhhh. this sucks more than writing a B grade over an A on my paper.

He showed his appreciation though. heehee. although i'm sure he'll appreciate it more if i'd stop my fruitless attempts to cook.

After dinner we went to catch 2 movies in a row at the new cathy cineplex. i guess somehow it wasn't a very birthdayey birthday cos he paid for everything anyway. gah. i'm such a lousy girlfriend. what the hell.

Oh well.

At least he has me haha that's priceless ;P

You're IRREPLACEABLE :)


ps. oh and i gave him a really cool lamp which... i forgot to take pictures of. i'll try to catch one next time!

pss. oh ya i DID NOT screw up the mudpie afterall, it actually tasted GOOD.
