Vday 2013

Ok i give up on Xanga!

trying to change the background theme but the ones i want to pick can't seem to work on my page!


N webshots changed n deleted all the photos in my previous Xanga blogposts...
i know that is no fault of Xanga but still pissed...
N i cant seem to edit photobucket's photos sizes on my Xanga...
so switching to the more user friendly blogspot!

i m really feeling like the IT idiot that i m now!

Ok enough of fuming...

Now a post to cheer me up!

Oh n as this post is super late! 

Happy 3rd Mth Anniversary on 38 Women Day to my dearest baby!

Thanks for putting up with all my womanly tantrums!

Thanks for the super sweet gesture though!
Red Velvet Cake from The Room @ ARC which is super yummy!

getting bored with all the waiting for a table...

our reservation was the 2nd seating at 830pm to closing but those earlier buggers finished at 9pm!

ok but ppl paid the same hefty price tag as us too so i really should not complain...

still it is something i feel such an expensive restaurant could have better managed...

the delicious steak which is thankfully not too bloody at medium done...

i know i not supposed to eat beef usually but the menu can't be changed!

but is this the best steak i've tasted?

at that point i felt the one Alex had at DnD at Alkaff Mansion was better...

until i tasted the one at Morton's but that is for the next post!

 photo DSCN2649.jpg
feeling full n not sure if i can eat a 2nd main!

 photo DSCN2650.jpg

 photo DSCN2651.jpg
Alex likes non bloody steaks like me!

 photo IMG_2504.jpg
the chocolate pie with peanut butter ice-cream!

 photo IMG_2505.jpg
the petite fours!

we keep wondering y there is only 3?

 photo DSCN2659.jpg
thinking how he can finish this?

 photo DSCN2660.jpg
the pie is super rich in chocolate taste n a good combination with peanut butter

but abit rich for my taste 

overall the desserts were nice but nothing that blew me away!

abit disappointed cos i had high expectations for desserts 

 photo DSCN2662.jpg
at our table!

 photo DSCN2661.jpg
can't get enough of the amazing view!

 photo DSCN2664.jpg
but still judging from the price and nothing that will make me crave coming back, dun think i will be here again soooo soon....

 photo DSCN2665.jpg

 photo DSCN2666.jpg
reluctantly coerced into a photo by me...

i m wearing super high heels and still so much shorter than Alex!
despite it being abit tight (i really need to eat less), still loving the lacy dress from Red Velvet Rose!
i have it in black too but yet to wear it out yet!
would have gotten it in light blue too if i m not so tanned!

inspired from the red lacy long dress Taylor Swift wore to Music Awards:
