cool cold saturday afternoon, perfect day for lazing around and studying. (contradictory huh?)
Mum called at about 2:30pm to inform me to get my ass down to Hougang Mall at 5:30pm for dinner to celebrate my Dad's birthday.
Reached at 5:45, had dinner at this chinese restaurant and had lotsa food, including pretty nice xiaolongbao, lamian and my fav Szechuan sour & spicy soup.
We even had a cake and candles.. hahaha.. my dad's 52 now.. the last time i remembered he was like 45.. time flies. Sang song, cut cake, ate cake. Then we walked around for a bit in HG mall and I left for hall.
Got back, rested a bit then went off with Yingying for our long agreed upon MM (Mahjong Movie). History: We were spending her mahjong winnings of obscene amounts. Anyway, for the whole night, the MCP in me was screaming away, threatening to stab myself in the neck. Haha, firstly, she rode a bike there with me on it. Then my expenses were all paid for. But due to the darn jam along Orchard road and me being too heavy to balance, the bike stalled twice and nearly fell over thrice haha.
We watched "The Prestige", which I must say is truly satisfying, after crap movies like "The Possessed". Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman are a great pair, not to mention of cuz my sweet Scarlet in a tiny corset.
But what bugged me about the show was the sci-fi/magic element of it, the one with Nik Tesla building a true cloning device. They should've made it all non sci-fi or mystical.
After the movie, we zoomed down for a quick Rochor Tau Hway, where I had to pull the bike back up the downslope whilst parking. Nice smooth tauhway for supper. *yum*
Went back to hall, studied a bit, lazed a bit, she did a bit of essay, then came down and we watched the final episode of "Amazing Race", where people started coming back at 5+am and gave us weird looks from the linkway lol. And she finished one whole box of my Poiful jellybeans by herself.. =P
Morning came, then hunger hit too. We were so damn hungry and wanted dimsum badly. So once again it was zoom zoom down to Holland V for breakfast at 7am. Haha we were the first customers at Crystal Jade and look at what we ordered.. The auntie was quite worried we over-ordered.. but what she doesn't know is Yingying: "She Who Solo-ed One KFC Buddy Meal".
For Her:
- 1 bowl Plain congee
- 1 'long' Ha Gao
- 1 plate Shrimp Chee Cheong Fun
- 1 cup Chinese Tea
For Him:
- 1 bowl Century egg congee
- 1 'long' Siew Mai
- 1 plate Char Siew Chee Cheong Fun
- 1 cup hot soya milk
For Us:
- 1 plate Pork ribs
- 1 plate Beancurd Skin thingie
Check out the yummy spread:
Then, photos of Yingying, which, incidentally are all of her having a spoon in her mouth. (The morning sun was right in my face. We shifted thereafter)
Over breakfast we decided to "breakup", agreeing that we're both bad influences for each other, and too much of a nocturnal pair. Over this week we've had breakfast 5-6 times, all punctually at 7am lol.. then sleeping only after breakfast. And now she calls me "fu4xin4ren2" a.k.a. 'heartless man'.
After the dimsum spread, which I generously paid for to soothe the MCP in me, we headed next door to Yakun for the customary 2 half-boiled eggs breakfast. Where she smartly dripped egg on her sweater whilst transferring egg yolks and whites. Look at my big plate of egg. *bliss*
Belly filled and satified, back to hall we went.. where a surprised tingping saw me at the busstop. Headed to library on a quiet sunday morning and studied for a while till afternoon, then slept a bit..
Thus the end of the weekend =)
