Pre- V Day Dinner

As a chinese, i don't particularly enjoy CNY. (Maybe I prefer to identify myself as a Singaporean than a Chinese, or maybe i am just weird.) Especially this year's since it collided with V-Day.

So we had a early V-Day dinner. The plan was to watch the movie "Valentine Day" to get into the mood, followed by a great dinner. To end it all, a walk along the "river". Hahaha. but once again CNY took it all away. We ended up doing last minute shopping, dinner, more last minute shopping, and ended the night with even more frantic "auntie-style 3 for 1 dollar~" shopping. (We were the only young people among the whole big group of uncles and aunties.) hahahaha. I have such a unique girlfriend who exhibits her "unique-ness" on a supposedly romantic V day dinner night like this. Hahaha.

I shall focus more on the dinner from now on b4 i get killed on the actual V day. We ate at Tao's Restaurant. The crew are very friendly and the service is excellent. They even offered to take a photo of us.. They offer a 6 course meal for lunch and 7 course for dinner. (Starter, Salad, Soup, Main, Dessert, Tea. Extra grilled mushroom and mango sorbet for dinner.) The food is not really fantastic but good enough to make me want to go back there to try out other food on the menu. (The salad is putting me off though.)

Taylor Swift

been rather hooked on her songs. i know the lyrics of some of her songs are so "teenage" but i love the tune.. hahaha.



"Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself"

"The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change"

"They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine"
