The cost of love

Nd told me that he heard on the radio...saying that Singaporean was rated 1st in the world for most money spent on Vday, with an average of $500. It seems like a huge sum to me at first.. but den i realised... its Singapore after all. The cost of living here is relatively high and so obviously the cost of love is high as well.
Most of the restuarants changed to set menu on Vday, with a charge of $100+ bucks per pax.
so 2 pax = $200+++
Most guys will buy a bouquet of flowers, even though i think its extremely unneccesary, and the price of roses will be jack up to bout $70-90 per bouquet, depending on size.
And if you add in a nice practical and decent gift, its about $100++ or so.
So actually it not difficult at all to hit that figure.
wat an expensive day!

Me and nd had dinner at Le Papillon. It a pretty and cosy restaurant at Red Dot Traffic. And their food is pretty good. Every dish from the appetizer down to the desserts were good and exquiste. Their Vday menu was quite worth it ($108 per pax) compared to other restaurants which serve simple salads and soups followed by main course.

They gave us a free shooter (watermelon juice with a tinge of tobasco sauce) Sounds gross but taste pretty refreshing!
There's complimentary champhagn for us... and each lady gets to recieve a red rose from the restaurant! so sweet right..
and there's 5 dishes, including desserts.
The important thing is that... you actually FEEL FULL after the meal... because usually at such fine-dining restuarants, the portions are real small.
I highly recommend the place for Vday next year!

Thank you dear!
Simply for being beside me these years.
And i'll use your gift to capture many more moments of us.
luv luv luv.
AND YOU ARE BANNED FROM BUYING FLOWERS OR GIFTS ABOVE QUOTA OF $50 NEXT YEAR!!!!
NO JOKE OK!

Happy CNY '08

My relatives have finally returned to hometown.

Gosh..20 people sleeping over in my house is really no joke man..
you open a room door and you'll see bodies lying all over the place. >.<

This CNY has been the most energy-draining period for me. ( Have yet to recover fully from it)
its eating and mahjong-ing every day!!
yes.. its hk tradition to mahjong and i cant believe even my little cousin of age 9 can play mahjong better than me! i'm ultra noob. prob the most.
WX, CINDY, KEN, LARRY, JO, MARC, SHAOWEI!!
me and nd needs immediate mahjong training.... =<



Cruise was rather boring. Again, it was non-stop eating/mahjong-ing/gambling....does seem like there's anything else interesting to do.
me and nd went to the casino to try out our luck on the last night of cruise, and yes. you got it. We DUN have luck. lost $50 betting on BIG and SMALL!!!
oh well... lucky the money was sponsored by you-know-who..hohoho.


Next year, they are planning to go Cambodia - where one of the 7 wonders lies... and i swear there's nothing much to do there except gambling, eating and beaching.. gosh.



CoCo Lin - my cousin! She's only 12 yrs old, but uber mature, and standing at a height of 165! Do we look lik sistas? lol
