a heart-shaped basket of little heart shaped chocolates..from wy to the gang...

chocs nicely wrapped from khim, ky, xh, vivian and NUSPS -__-"" (erm, thats a sweet and a lollipop to be exact, not chocolate)

And a heart shaped bookmark from the ever creative cm.. hand carved le.. really nice..

In return, they got chocolate chunk cookies from me!

packed in small paper bags like these...each contains 2 cookies..

The chocolate chunk cookies were made by me n CM during our 2 hour break on Monday.. super efficient.. we made 2 batches and the 1st batch was "chao tar" a little.. at the bottom...

The "chao tar" backside and the nice top...heheh.. we painstakingly scrap off all those blackened part.. CM even cut her fingers cause she was using my super sharp knife... >_<

wx fried "dong fen" for us.. very nice!! but the portion was so little.. hy gave us ice cream! ^_^ ... i ate a lot of it..

Oooh.. I forgot to mention, we had project meeting on V day nite.. cause we couldnt find another suitable date that we can all meet.. since 6 out of the 8 members are single anyway, and 1 of the attached ones celebrates V Day with her bf on 15th instead (got some special meaning..).. and we allowed the other attached one to leave early lar..

Later that nite, we were treated to this!

heart shaped tiramisu! made by JF for khim lar... but since he gave it to her, she decided to share it with us!! so nice!!! thanks!!

So, it was a very sweet day literally.. filled my stomach with sweet chocs, sweets, ice creams and cake... and also sushi! we went to Genki Sushi again (same with last year) for lunch... raw salmon is soooo nice! Argh! my stomach is growling now.. >_<

Well, singles still can enjoy V Day.. with friends... and good food.. but i wont deny the fact that having someone special on V Day may even be better.... til that day happens, i shall be contented with good company from my bunch of nerdy friends....

This is an angel standing on the edge of a platform. With th feather of its wings flying away... kinda paints a sad feeling.. nice blue sky...

also a little lonely..cold and lonely... though the jacket and hat looks quite bright and cheery... but the character looks sad...

and more lonely pictures...

a lonely girl on a green hill...

and a lonely boy on green grass...

so, I decided to make them happier..

i let them be together...so now they are smiling and staring into each other lovingly... ^_^

our plates after finishin our food.. cm n I ate pasta in tomato sauce with erm..chicken i think...while wx n yk ate erm.. can't remember.. but both of them ate the same thing... not bad.. the price is not too expensive...

Then we had Pharmaco lab..which was quite fun... cause quite slack kind... and get to see guinea pig's ileum contracting in response to the drug... and everything was computerised.. just key in datas and graphs were generated...ended around 5pm...ky n wy left for home le.. left me n wx to have dinner in Sci canteen... bus at Lavender at 8.45pm.. home!!

Chinese New Year Eve, 28th Jan

At 3.30pm, my dad, mom, small sis n I headed back to my grandma's place at Gurun, Kedah... Had normal reunion dinner this year instead of steamboat like last year... Then SM n CC came... played cards... forgot how to play chor tai ti ... after playing bridge too often.. dropped by at my maternal grandpa's place.. and guess where was he...

He was at the backyard, clearing all the long grasses.. by pulling each of them out with his bare hands!! and he was only wearing a pair of shorts.. not even wearing shoes!! by the way, my grandpa is 90 years old this year!! my grandpa is very cute ^_^

1st Day of CNY, 29th Jan

Today was a vegetarian day..cause 1st day of lunar month... so, we decided not to go visiting cause we couldnt eat the normal food and not nice to reject offer of food during CNY.. dad, small sis and I went to pray at temples, then went to watch "Fearless" by Jet Li... nice movie!! good fighting scenes and some scenes were very touching too.. moral values were also incorporated into the movie...

Big sis, bro in law and niece came to visit... so we ordered pizza.. this seems to be a tradition already.. since a few years back..every 1st day of CNY, we will eat Pizza Hut's Veggie Lover pizza...haha...

left for maternal grandpa's place... many relatives were there already.. my mom has 13 siblings... so, the amount of people there were so huge that we had to sit outside the house.. cause no more place inside.. not even place to stand inside.. -__- got more ang pows!! most of my cousins are married..heheh...

Went to aunt's place next.. her house was a gambling den.. every corner of the house had people gambling all sorts of card games and mahjong... young and old... ate again but that was the BEST meal I had taken in a looooong time.. how i wish all food taste as good as my aunt's cooking... (>.<)
