Just discovered that the previous entry has broken links and now it's fixed. :D Please refer back to my previous post.
One more month left to scout for a few maxi skirts to wear to work after my surgery. I figured that the knee brace would be humongous and that any attempt to hide it under my jeans would fail. I could only wear maxi skirts and pray that no one would discover my knee brace. I have many maxi dresses but they just seem abit too much to wear to the research lab.
To be utterly frank, although I didn't voice out my fears to my friends, I am starting to feel the withdrawal symptoms from the surgery as the days drew nearer. To depress my unnecessary anxiety, I found many articles which got me comforted about General Anesthesia and the post-surgery pains. Not too much of a never-wake-up-from-sleep fuss and not much pain. But u know actually I should be proud of being able to experience physical therapy and surgery. Not everyone has the chance to. Like have you ever thought of yourself learning how to walk down the stairs? It is supposed to be a natural instinct isn't it? I have developed a psychological fear in walking down the stairs normally, so much so that the physiotherapist has to calm me down and encourage me to bend my knees in the right manner so that I could walk down the stairs like the others.
Here to continue my entry on Jun Wen's birthday part 2. :)
The last time I blogged we were at the Wedding Dress Exhibition.
Added in a few more photos:
One famous quote about love.
On one of the showcases was a wedding gown which created emphasis on the back details. The flowers formed an outline of a heart shape.
A photo of Zoe Tay and her husband on their wedding day drew my attention. So pretty!
And since the next programme was still sometime ahead, we went around the museum premises to take more pictures.
Bet you've seen this statue before!
And this too!
That day was also the day of Resident Evil premiere screening, so you can imagine my eagerness to watch it after dinner.
And our dinner was at ichiban boshi, a restaurant that I found online which has mostly positive reviews, so we had to give it an opportunity to impress us.
We didn't have a easy time finding this restaurant as it was situated opposite the taxi stand outside Taka. Found its name in the mall directory, walked for ages before we eventually found it in that awkward location.
He was craving for some fish since lunch and once I told him we would be going to a jap restaurant, he immediately thought of savoring saba fish. This was him pointing at the picture of the tempting looking fishhead. He didn't order it in the end since I don't like the thought of any fish in my mouth.
While waiting for our dinner, he opened the presents and wasn't very surprised to see a water bottle as one of them since he long wanted a bottle from me. He was saying that a water bottle would be sufficient as his present of this year but was so filled with disappointment as he thought it was the sole present. I can think of one good Chinese idiom now: 口是心非.
The superior bottle from Isetan.
His face glowed after the realization of another gift sank in.
The bebe perfume was a sample given to me by the salesman when I decided on buying the Mont Blanc perfume. This perfume was the only one I could accept (I'm allergic to perfume) since it gives off a relatively light fruity orange-like smell, among the many I sampled.
Our food came and it was when my camera ran out of battery. :(
The raw side dish which I didn't have the guts to try.
Raw prawn and squid sushi.
Got conned by Jun Wen into trying the prawn sushi when he said it wasn't raw and once the taste got into my conscious, the prawn was already puked out by me and then came the time when I could drink water at the fastest speed in the attempt to flush off the uninspiring smell. :D
Seafood in a hot plate. The mix of lemon with squid enlightened my sense of taste.
Cheese balls which are nice but might get you tired of them after a few bites.
We would order too much and ended up with leftovers.
What is a birthday without cakes?
We shared a small American Cheesecake as dessert and we love it! :D
