Gastronomical weekend!

My family celebrated Father's day on Saturday while dear's family celebrated Father's day today.

My sisters and I treated the dear dad to dinner at Chin Huat Restaurant at Sunset Way.
Even the xiaomei contributed haha that's nice of her and mum invited dear to our little celebration too.

Dear stayed over and this morning we went to the market near lakeside to have breakfast, it was the last day of operation before the market is due for a major overhaul.

I will definitely miss the food over there as some stalls might not shift over to the temporary market.

At home, we decided to let the pig roam freely in the house and make friends with snoopi lol

Then in the afternoon, dear and i went Prawning! We had checked out the lakeside fishing pond near chinese garden on Thursday and decided to give it a try today lol
Even dear who is so into fishing hasnt been to a prawn pond before. The feeling of prawnin was so different due to the lightness of rod and the weight of the catch but nonetheless, we managed to get the hang of it and soon we caught 17 prawns lol which we steamed when we went back to dear's place.

For Dear's Father's Day celebration, his sister drove us to Ban Leong Wah Hoe near Thomson. The name of the place is too long so I shall stick to "Ban Leong" instead.
The queue was horrendorous! There were scores of people waiting around tables even though the whole place was fully occupied and only around 6pm but we managed to get our seats around 15mins of waiting.
And dear's family sent me back after that, really grateful and thankful for the ride home.

Must always 饮水思源 and 感恩.

In conclusion : Good food + family = 人间享受 + 促进感情

On another note, I told dear that one of his buddies has gotten himself a new gf and she looks gorgeous,looks and figure wise.
I told dear I envy her complexion and wanna get myself new skincare.
He rejected me flatly.
Reasons cited, "waste of money" and "i like original"
I am touched.

ok.. maybe just a few new items from this new skincare brand that i am eyeing .. :)
at least still need to maintain :P
