CNY Shopping at Chinatown

I had tuition in the afternoon and was contemplating whether to go school to attend the evening lecture cause I was pretty lazy to travel from Orchard all the way to Clementi, and for another reason that the lecture is gonna end at 10pm...I finally convinced myself not to go...

In the end, I met up with Smelly at Outram MRT cause we wanna go Chinatown for CNY shopping...

The crowd was terrible...I almost fainted cause it was so squeezy and stuffy...

We decided to have our dinner and we saw this pig organs soup stall with very long queue...we reckoned that given its queue, it should be nice...being the typical singaporeans, we joined in the queue as well...

It's really quite nice....the soup is good...

After dinner, we went on to search for this dessert house which my dad had recommended...it was also featured in last night's channel 8 food show "Yummy yummy king"...

It's located at Temple Street and the dessert house is called "Jing Jing Dessert House"...

They have 103 desserts to choose from...

We ordered Mango with coconut ice....my dad told us that we must try it...

The place was blardy crowded and we waited for 45 minute for our dessert to be served...

Smelly almost fall asleep....but it was worth it cause the dessert is damn good...

We continued walking around and came across this stall....

What surprised us was that the stallowner (a austrian guy) wore chinese costumes and he's selling sausages....

We ordered one...

It costs us $3.50 for one small sausage.....we felt that we got "tock"...

We also bought grilled cuttlefish and wasabi-flavoured cuttlefish from this stall...

They have so many different flavours of cuttlefish to choose from...

Apart from that, we also came across...

MAHJONG stall....

How can CNY be fun without mahjong games right? *ahem June ahem*

All the walking and eating left us with aching legs....

We took a bus back home...

This is for you

This entry is dedicated to someone...

He is a very special person to me...

He always tries to give me the best...

He responds to my every beck and call...

He cooks for me when I'm hungry..

He greets me with morning kisses and folds my bed when I'm awake...

He gives me surprises...

He came all the way from home and took my dad to the hospital when I should be the one doing so...

He brings my mom around when she needs to get stuff...

He helped my sister with her work...

He helps me with my studies..

He let me paint his nails, pluck his eyebrow, put mascara on his eyelashes, make him look nerdy and all sorts of my other funny ideas...

He dotes and pampers me alot, to an extend I'm climbing over his head already..

He makes me laugh at his stupid cold lame jokes...

He always tolerate with my bad attitude...

All and all, he is a great person...

Everyone in my family, cousins and relatives all like him..

Though some may have misconceptions about him...

But, who are you to just judge him when you dont even know him well in the first place...

Over all these time, he had done his part and proved himself to me otherwise...

And yes, I love him..

I love you, Smelly...

Happy 23rd birthday....

Make your wish later in the evening and hope they all will come true...(*psst* remember to wish we will strike lottery k...hee)
