ハッピーバレンタインデー！
Yes, happy valentine's day! Just felt like saying that. Don't get me wrong—I still think Valentine's is overly commercialized and materialistic. I find it retarded that people wait for this one day to express their love. What's wrong with doing it the other 364 days of the year? And besides, does one even need a reason to? Can't we surprise those we love any time of the year for no rhyme and reason?

I met Esther for dinner at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe at Sun Plaza. Too bad the aunty that works there wasn't working that day. When we went a few nights ago, she recognized us—even though we haven't patronized for over half a year ('cos Esther was in Shanghai pursuing her degree). She's always so happy to see us, giving us a big, warm smile and chatting to us like regular customers. (:


I wanted to order the usual udon (the kind that comes with a big bowl of soup). However, the waitress recommended the new HK-style Fried Seafood Udon. It was so good when I ate it with the sliced green chillis provided!


Another new dessert. It has coconut milk, strips of coconut flesh and sago inside it. It's nice and warm. Too bad I'm not a big coconut milk fan. I ordered it 'cos it looks interesting and I felt like trying new stuff.


Esther has gotten herself an iPhone 4! I was playing around with the applications she had downloaded. I got addicted to Angry Birds the first time I played it. Cute, sadistic, and strategic, what's there not to like about this game? (:

CHARMAINE CHEONG.

I’m a somebody and a nobody. I’m rational and emotional. I’m critical but I’m non-judgemental.

I like my things categorized by types and chronologically. I like taking photos to preserve the moments of my life. I like dystopian literature. I like reading Wikipedia articles at random. I like travelling to foreign lands and seeing the world. I like long conversations over good food. I like pop and classical music. I like guitars. I like cats. I like writing random, mushy letters and notes to the people important to me. I have a whole long list of things that I like, but you’ve got to get to know me better to know them all.
