took half day leave on v day as i am still in CNY mood that week and can't bear to work the full day. on my way home after work, i went to fetch the niece from school. it was raining cats and dogs that afternoon and i got a culture shock when i reached the school gate haha.
the small gate was swamped with parents, domestic helpers and grandparents all trying to catch a glimpse of the children. it doesn't help that it's raining and big umbrellas all around. so hard to hear the teacher announcing which classes are coming out now and there's no way one can make it to the front to look for their child without jostling with umbrellas and getting wet. the place was chaotic and after this incident, i am super impressed by my mother who does this on a daily basis, rain or shine.
after 20 mins of waiting, i finally made it to the front to pick up my niece. haha *pat myself on the back* but really lose to those auntie who push and shove. 原来接孩子放学也是一门技术 and we always think stay-at-home mum 很好当。new found respect for them!
bf came over in the afternoon and we went out for dinner and a movie :) he also gave me my prezzie, my 1st chronograph watch! we first saw this watch during our Taiwan holiday last Dec but I did not get it back then. I have this thing for rose gold ever since my tw trip, almost every accessory I bought from tw is rose gold coloured! Happy to add this watch to my collection :)
we went to swatch to alter the straps and also to decide again between black and white face. decided to stick to black face cause easier to match :)
while waiting for the watch to be done, he was saying to me: "no roses for you this year but got rose gold watch, better la hor, this rose won't wilt" haha 死的也给他讲成活的, no wonder he's in sales XD
can’t think of what to buy for him so I made him walk around with me to look for his prezzie but mission failed. We went to esprit but nothing lehhh and ended up taking oftd shot instead haha
Kraviz Dress from LB, Studded Blazer from Megagamie, it was raining that day so the blazer is perfect
dinner was at Chijmes’ SUN Japanese Dining, yummy yummy. he said he decided on this restaurant because of the zodiac prediction we saw at river hongbao a few days ago. the prediction was saying that couples under the rabbit zodiac should go more often to places that they went together before as it will help to 促进感情 for the snakey year, superstitious much? we celebrated v day at SUN 4 years ago in 2009, i guess we still look the same right haha
THEN
NOW
sashimi, king prawn sushi roll, tofu with beef slice, steak with foie gras, hokkaido mini ramen
all the dishes are very nice!!! my favourite is the foie gras, very crispy on the outside. ramen broth is good as well, pork-based! the prawn sushi roll is also comparable to sushi tei's phoenix roll. happy tummy!
dessert time! 4 years ago, we wanted to try the signature tofu cheesecake but we were rushing for a movie and didn't had time for dessert. we keep saying to go back and try the tofu cheesecake but never got down to it. this time, he made sure we reached early and booked a later timing for movie so that we have time for dessert yay~
being greedy, we had 2 dessert, tofu cheesecake and brownie =p sweet ending to the meal!
some of my asos loots came on v day but i returned all of them cause they were impulse purchases before cny haha
1st March UPDATE: i finally found something nice for his belated v day prezzie hehe. he's in vietnam till 3rd Mar so i can only give it to him when he's back. more on that in the next post :)
