This shall be a regular photo entry for once. Valentine's day 2008 woohoo!

Me. Sorry the mirror is very dirty.

Dondon's present. A nicely decorated notebook, love bear (i have another one as well), and some obligatory vday chocs. I was supposed to write some stuff in the book but i haven't so it's still sitting on my desk now. He gave me an obligatory rose. Yes simple stuff, but we are poor *sniffs*

We decided to 'save money' and have a quiet picnic by the reservoir, but ended up spending quite a lot of food. Oh well. Still a little less than a good and crowded commercialized restaurant. At least we didn't have to pay stupid GST and service charge to lousy service staff.
Update: Opps. I forgot i already paid GST for the groceries. Do'h!!!

See! All my favourite food! Smoke salmon, nice and fresh crispy bread, fresh lettuce, sweet cherry tomatoes, chunky campbell potato soup, crackers for the soup, honey dijon kettle chips, bunch of grapes, red wine from my last birthday, and chocolate chip cookie dough ben and jerry's ice cream (not shown in pic). These are also the things you should lay out on my funeral! Oh and sushi if you please.

Me trying to act glam.

Smoked salmon and bread. Lettuce and tomatoes on their way...

Tadaa!! Bread turned out to be too thick...

...so i just ate with one slice. Haha! Play cheat.



Chunky soup. I had the privilege of using a 'brandon' spoon, with smiley faces :) :) ("nah! you can use my spoon!")

Yummy chips.

Here, dondon is happily munching away and reaching for more food.

"Oh shit! Drip on my pants! Faster wipe!"

"Ahhhhh! Why cannot come off???!" *swipes furiously at stained pants*

"Ah, forget it. Let the stain stay there lah. Jinling wipes her dirty hands on my jeans anyway. Wee let's have more food".

He tried to light up some atmospheric tea candles, but his romantic efforts were overcome by the strong wind :(

This is a nice scenic picture, but my face is too fat.

The night starts to fall upon us... dondon points at the moon... cannot point hor! Your ears will get cut off you know.



Us! Dondond is so sweet, he bought all these food and prepared them by himself. Sometimes his attention to details amazes me. He thinks about tricks to keep the ice cream frozen for as long as possible, or how to peel lettuces properly so that they would remain in one piece for a pretty sandwich, or how he shouldn't cut the tomatoes first so that they would remain fresh. We even negotiated the optimal size, crunchiness, crispiness and fresh factor of the bread before buying. This makes up for his dislike for shopping.

Ooooooh i almost forgot to mention this. Just when we were in the midst of munching away, dondon commented that sssscarrly later park authorities come and demand for a permit. I wouldn't be surprised, after all, you need permission for virtually almost anything in this land. Sure enough, the authorities van came strolling along our way and the uncle poked his head out. He surveyed our spread for the longest time, before asking

"What's in the bottle?"

Dondon is an honest boy, he said "wine".

"You cannot drink wine here. You must keep it."

Like a guilty kid being discovered reading FHM by his mummy, we hastily hid the bottle away.

Uh huh. I have no idea why i've got no rights to drink alcohol wherever i want. But according to dondon, you can only drink in areas which are permitted to sell alcohol. Hmmm. So next time you buy cheapo long island tea from 7-11, make sure you go to a coffee shop (that sells alcohol) then can drink leh!

End of vday adventure.




We took this pic because i said i'd look better with a higher nose.
