My 3rd Valentine's Day with Jun Wen

Jun Wen is currently in Taiwan with his army pals! Till 23rd Feb. In the meantime, I get to stay at home, handle some HDB documents, pay my bills, update my bank book, buy belated V Day present (I haven't buy!), have more time to blog and also take a breather from his parents.

My colleagues found out about my blog! I refused to give it to them but they found out anyway. Yea, I didn't give it to some of my friends but they googled it and found it out too. Lol. I have nothing to hide but I was just embarrassed to let people I just knew know abit more about me. But am still glad that people still read my blog. Lol.



Valentine's Day 14 Feb 2012!
Celebrated my 3rd one with Jun Wen. :D
We didn't know where to go initially on the morning of Feb 14. Lol. And since Dong Jing told me she was going to a restaurant on the hill top of Sentosa via a cable car, I thought of dining at Sentosa too. Then I thought of the Boardwalk. We always walk to Sentosa via the Boardwalk and always wanted to try this dining place by the riverside. :D

However, Simba said it only has cakes, desserts and wines. Hence, he went ahead to start calling up restaurants but they were fully booked. Oops! Haha.

And so, when I finished work, he was already in Orchard and scouted for somewhere to dine at!
He brought me to the Hard Rock Cafe. Was very satisfied with the atmosphere and everything. The portions were so big that we couldn't finish them. No wonder many Caucasians were there to fill their stomachs!

As we didn't reserve any seats, we were sent to the bar to wait for a table.
Meanwhile we took photos of the place!
I was bit disappointed that Simba didn't wear more formal that day. Lol. He said he was on course lately and so there wasn't a need to dress up for work. And if he turned up for the course in formal clothing, everyone else would stare at him weirdly. He then went on to say his polo tee is from Lacoste, while pointing to the crocodile logo.

At the bar top.

My turn to have a photo taken. My background was really nice. The stairs made everything so elegant.
But there were too many people walking behind me, or up and down the stairs. So there was a shadow of a man passing by. Lol.




Photobucket

Took another shot. But a man was standing at the steps waiting for some friend. Lol.




Photobucket

And finally! No one behind me!



Photobucket

The inside of Hard Rock Cafe. Very guitar themed.



Photobucket

He made a few funny faces but I decided to just post one. I am so nice I know!


Photobucket

Soon we were given a table. We were so starved since it was already 7 30!
Service wasn't so good but we understood that it was a busy day for the waiters. Valentine's Day is the day with the most income for Pastamania! :D

And my gift from him! He told me he didn't have time to buy but he lied. I knew something was wrong when a few days before he was out at the money changer's and took few hours to come back home.






Photobucket

The ribbon required some skills. I tried tying it back after I opened my present but the ribbon became unsymmetrical. Lol.



Photobucket

I got him a terrarium which I bought from my friend Justin!
http://gift-spiration.blogspot.com/
Plants to put on his office desk.

How to care for your terrarium:
1. Check every couple of weeks to see if your terrarium needs water. Feel the soil to see if it is dry and add water if it is.

2. If your terrarium is closed, take off the top at least once a month to air it out. If you see lots of condensation or have added too much water, leave the top off until it has had a chance to dry out.
3. Pull off any leaves that show signs of yellowing or damage and prune plants if they grow too large.
4. Don’t fertilize your terrarium because you don’t want to encourage growth.

Very easy right! If u like it, I will help u order from him! For the items that are sold, he can do a pre-order for u. :D


That was part one of Simba's present by the way. I didn't buy other presents as I was cooped up by work. :D

Photobucket

I asked him why he chose Swaroski over other jewellery shops and he said it was simply because it has a swan logo and he likes swans. Lol.




Photobucket

The name of the pendant is Ties of Love Violet Pendant.
(I went to the website and found its description: True to its name, this pendant features a purple heart in Violet crystal with a delicate rhodium-plated ribbon wrapped on top. Hanging on a rhodium-plated chain, these romantic symbols represent a special bond - strong yet delicate.)





The pendant changes color. When I first opened the box, itwas pink. I wore it and when I looked at it through the mirror of the washroom, it turned silver. And after sometime, it turned purple.


Photobucket

After about 15 minutes, our food finally came!
I ordered cheese marcoroni with chicken and bread. Lol. Sinful treat!




Photobucket

I let Simba take a photo of his own food, and told him not to disappoint me. But he did. LOL. He thought this photo was awesome!




Photobucket

I wore it. A gush of emotions filled me. (Have been down recently, and emotions seemed to be stronger than before.) I felt hot tears. I felt so touched. I mean, we just went to Langkawi and I told him to treat the air tickets as my gift. He spent $1,100 on them, but he still went on to get another gift for me. And he is always punctual in getting gifts, whether it is Valentine's Day, my birthday, Christmas... But I wasn't as punctual. I remembered a few times that I didn't get him any at all.

Ever since he started working, he hasn't spend a single penny on himself, but he bought me a camera, a Braun Buffel bag, and now a necklace. He said he wanted to get a PS3 game to reward himself, but till now he can't bring himself to buy it.

Thanks Jun Wen for the great and overwhelming V Day!



Photobucket

We then walked around, searching for a bar to have some drinks. Then I thought of the German Bar I always wanted to try drinks at. And we took bus down to 313.

Photobucket

We saw this engraving on the bar on the pavement opposite 313. Thought it was special!





Photobucket

Then at the Brotzeit German Bar.
We used the check-in function of Facebook for the 2 places we went to that day. If u saw me check in in Facebook, it was always Jun Wen who asked me to. And he would ask me not to tag him, so that it doesn't seem that he uses Facebook. It's puzzling to me why he must keep a low profile in FB. Is he a celebrity or what?



Photobucket





Photobucket

There was a wide range of Paulaner Beers to choose from. :D
I almost couldn't make up my mind about what to drink.




Photobucket


Photobucket

We also had two scoops of ice-cream. Only 3 choices of flavour were given to us. Vanilla, chocolate or chocolate chip. I was initially by the limited choice. But when we ate them, we found that they tasted kind of different from the normal Vanilla and Chocolate Chip. They were sweeter and had a special nice scent. Cool!



Photobucket

Lol! His face was warm and red after the drinks. When I told him that he might be mistaken of being a drunkard after being rejected of a date after sending me home, he insisted that I send him home instead. Lol. And this was how he reacted when I said no. So sad.
