365 days of sunshine and counting

with a blink of an eye it's year end, and it was in Dec 2009 I fell completely in love with the guy who later on gave me 365 days of sunshine. 

as unromantic as he say he is, I disagreed. I am probably the unromantic one. Our 16th Dec 2010 started late during dinner time. He brought me to Paulaner @ Millenium Walk a German Restuarant becos he wanted us to relive the wonderful time we had in Europe and that was the closest thing. Enjoying german beer and a meal of pork knuckle and schintzel. and he asked, where's ur winter jacket? :)

unromantic as he say he was, I disagreed. He hid presents in the car, and till today I am still wondering how he did it. =P I am the unromantic one, I hid his in my closet. Yay! Pink Polaroid Cam was all that I ever wanted. big hole in his pocket =P Finally. 

it felt like just yesterday, when u first held my hand in the cold winter of Europe.

 I love you.

short little getaway to rejuvenated Batam

recent happenings in my humble life :)

recounting from where we left off...

081010

last time this year, we fell in love. for those who were speculating =P before i left for Berlin, we confessed to each other. =) and u've kept me smiling since then. though not officially tgt yet, i felt so bliss. distance wasnt the issue. it started only when i went Germany, absence makes the heart grow fonder =) we msn, skype and what nt, and love blossomed. i was oblivious to all his hints, till 081009.

& that's the best boyfriend award for u love

so to mark, this special day, we went to universal studios at night, had dinner and then watch the much anticipated fireworks display :)

the firework that lit up my night sky

a lot like love

we went to a farmer's market at 75 Loewen Rd in Dempsey last saturday after reading a recommendation on Chic Magazine. researched a little online about the farmer's market that night and decided to head down the next morning.

the market opens at 8.30am and closes at 2pm according to online source. so i got up bright and early on a saturday morning while baby woke up late! =P haha when it comes to food i'll be up =P

anyway, it's pretty deep inside Dempsey and it's kinda difficult to get there if u dont have a car. lucky for us, we have one. at first we tot the place will be filled with expats, but nah there was a balance of both us and expats. the stalls were mostly mended by ang-mohs, even the veg counter. rare sight in Singapore i must say.

re-enactment of the farmer's market i use to love going to every sunday in Germany. Those markets in Europe is probably 20times bigger then the one we went to. they were clean and not smelly compared to the upgraded uwet markets we have in Singapore.

so in Loewen rd, they had stalls which sold premium olive oil, chocolates, dried products, cakes and pastries, bread, wines, english beer and cider, cheese, salami, a bbq counter, and of course my favourite paella station! yummmmmy!

heard the paella is good and that's the primary reason why we decided to give it a go at the market, kinda pricey at $10 per box, but it was all worth it. i think we bought like $40 worth of paella, and i must say it's a must-try. The paella is definitely better then those we had in Marche and Ma Maison, and comparable to those we ate in Barcelona! heavenly! cooked by a Spanish lady, which explains to authenticity, the ingredients were so fresh and their not stingy about how much prawn, sotong they give u. thumbs up!

and we had a bbq bacon burger to share as well, love the sesame bun hehe. but still cant compare to yummy paella! oops =X  

 it's kinda like a family affair over there, with kids running around and drawing all over on the floor as there were chalks laying about everywhere, the people there are very friendly and almost everything can be sampled! haha singaporean...

mid autumn

have been busy doing much about nothing all mid sem break. havent been catching up with a lot of school work and project, not to mention dissertation =( so many things to do with so little time, what am i to do.

despite all, we had a wonderful mooncake festival tgt, baby n i, and with the rest of the lycans.

an early mooncake festival, we went Clarke Quay after moviemob to see all the wonderful bright colourful lights.

and just nice, the mid-autumn festival at clarke quay coincided with the taiwan food fare! but the sad thing was we were soooo full and only managed to try 1 of it. Smelly TOFU! *covers nose* im quite impress with the array of taiwanese food selection. the stall vendors are also from Taiwan, authentic huh. anyway, not a big fan of smelly tofu, think that it's really stinky after u eat it, and the smell stays in the mouth. 

re-enactment of the past

* flipping thru the camera album*

Read on Sunday times, in the Life section on 20 dates less than $20. chanced upon this drive-in movie thingy and decided to check out the webbie.

over the long weekend part 2

and so national day is so awesome because we managed to squeeze through the crowd at marina bay sands and got 2 front row seats by the singapore river where the national day fireworks were set.

first national day with bf :)

while waiting 2 hrs for the show to start, i whipped out my camera and started taking pictures of the beautiful singapore skyline.

my favourite picture of the evening. haha a little amateur though =X

and finally after 2 hours, the fireworks finally shoot up into the night sky, with all cameras ready to shoot, i've put mine in multi shot mode so i clicked away and ended up with close to 100 shots of fireworks while ogling at the magnificant splendour

one i love most =)

and the marina bay sands

With happy butterflies in your tummy (:
Iphoned

my heart beats for you

3months on a face to face level but 6 on a virtual level heeeeeeeeeeeee

on our very special day, he surprised me by calling at 12am 160310. though he was already sleeping. =) the next morning we went for Ya Kun Kaya @ NUS before i have my project meeting. just a simple breakfast with someone u love feels so good =).

the day carried on with the usual lects and tut. i couldnt wait to be done with those and meet him for dinnerrr. he appeared at the door window during envt tut to "surprise" me, and yes i smiled like an idiot =) so sweet of him to get my donuts to satiate my hunger temporarily.

dinner was at Ma Maison @ Central. recommanded by hungrygowhere for romance and first date. we had Clam Chowder, Soba Salad and Paella. but of course nothing can beat the original Paella in Barcelona. i guess the atmosphere was good la but the food was so-so for the price.

and i pulled out a present for him, haha all thanks to caderam and nana, kok already knew i bought him a coin pouch for our 3rd month. =P boooooo so i decided to SMOKE him hehehe, got a wrapped present from nana, booklight which is a free gift from PFM, and he gave me a shock yet disappointed looook when he opened it. but still did not believe i didnt buy a coin pouch. he pulled my bag towards his side while distracting me and pulled out the wrapped braun buffel box which i intended to give him during dessert. bleeeeh!

took a walk along the singapore river and decided we should go somewhere for a quiet evening, and so he decided mt faber. in the car he suddenly said, " eh i left some sweets in the dashboard, can help me take?" i looked at him and laugh because i can read his face! haha anticipated something to be in there. hehehe yes and im right! =P u arent good at surprises too =P hehe and he knows what i need and got me a iphone car charger so i wont have anymore battery flat days =))))) how thoughtful

but well we didnt have any dessert, headed to Faber point instead and the view was awesome, nv knew there's such a place in Singapore. and he finally got to open his present from me! hehe im glad u liked it =)

Faber Point overlooked Resort world in Sentosa which happen to be setting off fireworks while we were there. what a way to end the night=) love u darling
