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!

Jiang left for his UK sailing training early this morning at 225am and i went to send him off. It's always so hard to say goodbye, especially after spending so much loving and happy time with him the past few days. Exactly 5 months ago, he was the one who sent me off at T3 when i left for my sep. Now, im sending him off for a month in UK, with very little internet connection or even hp reception! Really couldnt bear for him to leave, but i know he has to, it's something he has always wanted and i know he's really thrilled about his sailing. I definitely support him in this and all i ask for is him to be safe during the tough trainings in the rough oceans. Anyway, one month isnt really that long right? I survived 3 months (even though not a very happy 3mth) without him by my side, so there's no reason why i cant do this. And i shall make myself damn busy with dance, thesis, going out with friends, and my IMH observation program so i wouldnt have time to miss him too much!

i miss you dear!

Me and jiang went into a pub somewhere along East Coast Road to watch the soccer match of the year - Man U vs. Barcelona champions league! I love the atmosphere of watching soccer matches in pubs! There was this funny guy who kept saying " don't pass to kimchi!" along with all his F vulgarities when Man U lost the ball to Barcelona.He was great entertainment haha.
A disappointed Jiang whose favorite team lost the match. And a happy chingcheng who didnt really care who won because it was a pretty darn good match and Barcelona rocks lar, seriously. Their 2 goals, especially Messi's header, were really fantastic!
After the 90minute mark, we quickly drove back to Jiang's place because he couldnt bear to see Barcelona winning the trophy and also because it was already 430am and we need to sleep and get ready for Club21 Bazaar the next morning!
so exciting...wonder what good deals were waiting for us!
especially Jiang, he loves the bazaar more than me! Last year he was the proud owner of a CK black leather bag and brown leather jacket for below 500bucks and he couldnt wait to spend again this time!
His proudest purchase. A Dolce and Gabbana suit for only 400bucks(original price was $1999!)
All the black things. I only bought a pair of AX pants for my IMH program, whereas Mr Jiang bought his D&G suit, Armani winter coat and diesel cargo pants. Total damage = $620 only. Whoa!
On the way to get the car, we passed by the flyer and we realized we have never been there before so we decided to go explore, since we still had some time left before meeting his Mum at parkway for dinner.
