Last Friday's potluck at Weihan's place

(weihan's fruit salad was superb btw!)

chen always looks so hilarious in photos

manly talk

its too dark without flash, but hongyi was trying to eat chen in the photo. I wonder why...does chen look that appetizing? haha

with flash, brighter and better, but everyone looked so serious!

game of drunken elephant, our favorite game at all gatherings.

Here's how it goes: randomly take out 4 cards from the deck, and try to equate 21 using all 4 cards only once, you can + - x or /. So for example, let' s say the 4 cards are : 10, 9, 9, 6. So one possible answer would be : 9 x9 - 6 x 10= 21 or (9-6) x 10 - 9= 21.

so whoever got it will tap on the table, or you can pretend you get it and tap too. The last person who didnt tap will get to pick one person out and ask him for the answer. If that person has the answer, the last person will keep the cards. If that person is just faking it and doesnt have the answer, he will keep the cards. So the game goes until the whole deck has been used up, and the person with the most cards will have to drink. Besides that, those with any cards on their hands have to do the drunken elephan forfiet and spin like an elephant for a no. of rounds = no. of cards they have. If you think hard enough, most of any 4 random cards can be solved to form 21! go try!

Shape Run 2009

Shape Run 2009, we did it again!

the pretty pink everywhere haha

blastards!

not only can we dance, we can run too!

after the run, i met Mr Jiang for the annual taka food fest! So much yummy food, we were at a loss! I was feeling so hungry after the run i couldnt wait to eat and eat and eat. Mr Jiang simply looked like a little boy in Toys R' Us, uable to make up his mind. And so we spent almost an hour and 50bucks there just looking for food and eating like pigs!

ever since i saw his friend's lagsana on facebook, i've been having a craving for it and now its satisfied! :D

i love squids, so chewy and yummy. (on a random note, dont you think unatamadon sounds like some swear word?)

Mr Jiang's favorite egg tarts. They had very unique flavors like bamboo charcoal, strawberry, apple cinnamon, green tea, chilli crab, curry chicken etc etc and we tried almost all of them! the shop can be found at suntec!

We were supposed to go watch some french film at Ann Siang hill, but because of my excellent map reading skills, we ended up at holland v instead :(((

what's there to do there except chilling with some drinks and food? So we ended up at this place called Mykii.

i never knew a singapore stamp looks like this!

the rose beer was fantastic for a girl like me, but too unmanly for mr jiang haha.but i seriously love it!

appetizers

lousy apple crumble

mango custard thingy? i cant remember what it's called, but it definitely tasted like mango pudding

After holland v, we drove down to Marina Barrage. It's really quite pretty at night, and despite its ulu-ness, there were many many people there! And we laid down on the grass and chitchat under the moon, one of our few romantic moments in a long long time haha...

Heart-shaped moon!

i love times like this where we can hang out through the night :)

Jiang's 22

Mr Jiang is finally back fron his sailing training in london! And he bought me a cuddly souvenir :)

It's kinda boring eating at those fancy restaurants after a while, so for his birthday this year, we decided to prepare our own dinner!

all our favorite food - haagen dazs, yogurt, strawberries, kiwi, wine....i love grocery shopping!!!

I asked jiang what he would like for appetizer and he said crabcake and i was like damn, not easy! I didnt want to be lazy and buy those processed crabmeat from supermarket coz its gonna compromise the quality definitely, so i bought live crabs from the market, cooked them and painstakingly dug out the crabmeat manually. Nothing like fresh juicy crabmeat for a delicious crabcake!

doesnt this look awesome!

ready for the best 3course dinner in the world :)

appetizer: heart-shaped crabcake with crab omelette and strawberries

main course: australian tenderloin with asparagus ( this was prepared by Jiang btw!)

and finally, tiramisu without chocolate, birthday boy's favorite cake in the world!

the last bottle of ice wine which my dad bought from canada

present time!!!

yes, handmade knitted scarf by none other than me! I learnt it from my mum who's really really good at knitting (she used to knit those pretty little sweaters for me and my sis when we were young). And since im pretty broke this year i couldnt afford anything too expensive, and mr jiang has everything he needs anyway, i thought i should put in a little effort and do something more special for him, so i knitted a scarf which he could use when he goes sailing across the pacific next winter! It was quite difficult at first, i kept screwing up and pissing my mum off coz she would have to fix my mistakes, but slowly i got the hang of it and at last completed it in 2 months, just in time for his birthday :)

Of course, jiang is very very happy with his present. The most precious gift is something money cant buy!

and im so proud of myself :)

We also celebrated his birthday with his mum and cousin at No signboard!

jiang's mum just came back from her europe tour on his birthday itself and she bought him a fendi bag. But i got much more presents than him! check out my bagful of souvenirs - chocolates, bag, furla purse, cute strawberry slippers etc!
