KBox Surprise

It was pre-planned with ZH to go KBox today. JD's bday is round the corner and ZH decided to surprise him with a cake while he's busy singing.

So while JD's occupied with the mic, ZH and his bf arrived with a creamy Chocolate Truffle from Han's lighted with candles. There was the usual fanfare and not forgetting that some of the truffle landed on JD's face :p

The whole evening was sheer fun which ended with JD winning yet another pair of movie tickets in a mystery game. Hopefully we can find time to watch it before it ends.

Birthday Foreword

After shedding much blood and sweat, my birthday forewords (BF) for JD was finally sent in full. BF is a combination of message and animation. Everyday for the past 5 days at a scheduled time, JD will first receive a pop up message followed by a Flash animation on his laptop.

The message and animation is different everyday. They are intended to convey my thoughts and feelings to JD while he's in camp and I'm very glad to know that he liked them a lot.

So for the last set of BF yesterday, it was a simple...

Happy Birthday JD! (I hope I'm the first)

Making Things Worse

Last night, something dreadful happened. Even though I saw it coming, I could not do anything because JD applied brute force to the matter. He knew I would give in for his sake. And in the end, I got a terribly scolding from my parents which led to tighter curfews.

Why can't he simply just put up with my limitations till I get a job? Does he really want me to quarrel with my parents again?

Bintan Trip

Last week was our short 2D1N getaway to Bintan. Even though it was hurriedly planned, it was nevertheless lots of fun. I'll blog about the trip later on once I get the photos from JD.

I Hate Picking Up Coin

This evening while having Rochor bean curd at Selegie, JD gave me a very huge scolding. He listed out all the things that he couldn't tolerate about me. I never knew those things he mentioned had bothered him so much. I always thought he understood and I intended to argue back and reason it out.

Then he hit a soft spot and that's when I gave up and gave in. I can't even pick up a damn ten cent coin for a plump lady. I just kept quiet and listened. I didn't want to start another argument.

I Hate Cycling

I finished up work and decided to meet JD for a while just now at about 4.30pm. I decided to try cycling to his place and realised I could reach him in mere 10 minutes. So I told myself that there's no reason for me to not do this more often in the future.

We met at his block and cycled together to the market near my place for ice desserts. Then as we left, I knew JD would accompany me home even though his bicycle requires tremendous effort to travel up slopes. So I chose a long & steep route over a short & very steep route.

In the end, JD got leg-cramp and got very upset with me. He guess he's walking home now. I don't know if I should have picked the short & very steep route. But I told myself that I'm not going to cycle to his place again.

21st Birthday Surprise

Today is one of JD's friend's birthday. He wanted to go over to his place to surprise him with a Black Forest and insisted I joined him. At first I was very reluctant but the curiosity to see this important friend in person made me agree finally.

I thought it would be very awkward for me but it turned out fine especially since JD's friend was very nice. The mini-celebration ended shortly and I had to rush home to clear work, which is what I am halfway through now. I have to finish this if I'm going to enjoy myself at Bintan later in the afternoon.

Doh! I haven't pack yet.

Post-Lunch

This afternooon, JD cooked me a nice little after-lunch meal. Here's the recipe for the records:

Ingredients:
1 x drumstick
1 x egg
pepper, sesame oil, oil, butter, sesame seed, seasoning salt, light soya sauce and lots other seasoning.
Most importantly, sweet and tender loving care.

Anyway, there is a nice drink that comes with it. The very authentic A&W Root Beer Float, home-made too. Taste so nice, got the nostalgic feel. Aww... Felt so loved and so sweet! Simply lovely.

AMK Hub Opening

Just a while ago, there was a sudden display of fireworks right above the AMK Hub. Me thinks those people are real rich to afford fireworks for their grand opening. No other shopping centres on our sunny island get fireworks for their events.

Not forgetting tomorrow that they're having a line-up of artistes performing at their outdoor stage.

Mooncakes Galore

It's the 8th Lunar month and in a matter of days the mid-autumn festival will be here. Like preceding years, pastries start rolling out their mooncakes weeks before the festival. They come in all shape and sizes, all flavours and fillings. Since the sale window for mooncakes spans only for about 3 weeks, each year pastries never fail to come up with unique flavours to entice more people to choose theirs over competitors.

But this year, trends have shifted. Whatever novelty flavours you can create last year, competitors would have re-created it this year. So now, packaging becomes priority. Simple cardboard boxes will not suffice and instead plywood and tin boxes becomes the standard, all lavishly decorated with elaborate designs.

The cost of packaging of course, gets transferred to the consumers. And I must say mooncakes these days don't come cheap.
