VaLeNtInE's DaY...

Today's Valentines Day... I juz came back from holland village... Every corner i go, there's vendors selling flowers and cakes... lots of selection... The flower vendors are busy preparing their bouquets of flowers, waiting for their customers to come a-knocking and trade at cut throat prices... Luckily my bao bei is not particular about receiving flowers on valentine's day... If not, i'll be like those poor blokes, burning a hole in their pockets...

The reason why i'm at holland village is because, i too, wanted to get something for her... It's valentine's day after all, and since i'm on off, i thought i should make full use of the time and prepare something special... Although some may argue that valentine's day seems to be too commercialized with spending and showering with gifts and celebrating love, these can be done on normal other 364 days of the year.. But, in my opinion, since the date has been set aside, why not juz celebrate it... No doubt you can still make everyday a valentine's day, but doing something special on a date specially set aside makes it all the more cherished and memorable rite? So, the argument seems to be those fellas out there are trying to make themselves feel better without a special date... *sour grapes*

Well, i passed by Breadtalk and saw something in their fridge window display... Some specially created cakes for v-day, and flowers decorating round the displays... The lady over the counter said, "the cakes come with a rose!!" Hmm... Cakes and a stalk of flower... Not too bad... Price still manageable... But given that this month that i'm really broke, that amount for the cake seems a little heavy on the pocket too... But then again, it's v-day, and it comes with a rose... Okay lah... buy lah... buy lah... So the lady packaged the cake with a nice ribbon, and carefully selected a nice-looking rose from the fridge for me... Sweet thought of her... =)

That's the cake with the rose... Can't open the box though...

So there's my cake... Happily bought it and went back home... Wonder what's for tonite for valentine's day... =)

Actually, we kind of had a formal valentine's day dinner last friday at fish & co... It was crowded, and we had to wait for a seat... meanwhile, we took out our camera and took some self-portrait...

This is one of the nicest one...

There's actually a band of 2 guitarist playing some live music and singing some love songs and pop hits, creating a nice cosy atmosphere... I love the place totally... The staff served with a smile, no matter how busy they looked... They seem to be enjoying their work... And the food tastes absolutely fantastic too... We ordered a seafood platter for two, completed with a set of asparagus soup, passion fruit drink, and an ice cream to top up the bill to above $50 for a photo frame...

Seafood platter for two: comes with grilled fish, prawns, mussels, calamari, fries and raisins rice, with 2 slices of lemon... there's the soup behind, and fish on the right...

The night ended off with bao bei coming over for the night... hmm... sounds romantic and kinky... But it could be better if we had the room to ourselves... Then that would be perfect... =)

Have a nice romantic valentine's day... =)
