Superb Post-Valentine's Day cum 55th Monthsary Celebrations!!!
Well, well! Hello there frens and pals!! Today's posting might be a little close to the heart cos Im'ma be gushing all over about the celebrations that Mai Bies had carefully planned for me on 17th Feb!! Yes indeed! She was planning it to be a belated Valentine's celebration as well as our 55th months anniversary!! Aweeheee!! =D
Firstly, we met up at around afternoon after solat Zohor and after my Ustaz Fathris Jammin' session at Assyakirin! Tho it was a hot day, i felt that it was truly a beautiful time to take dozens and pics as you guys n gals shall see if u all are willing to scroll further down! =D
We were kinda lucky on that Sunday actually!! U noes why? cos we immediately got a taxi as soon as we stepped on the pavement! *seriousness* This was despite an Indian family decked in traditional costume having to diri tercegat at the opposite side of the road!! hehehe Sori Indian family! =D

"Well, when ur happy n u noe it, snap some pics in the taxi lah!!"
Aniwaes, we reached the first location of the day which happened to be the lovely Singapore Botanical Gardens!! Well, as happy n elated i was, i still had the common discourse of being a typical Singaporean to take a memorable picture at the gates of the Gardens!! =D Trying to stretch out to the 2 side pillars there!! Wee hee hee!
Well well, we were going for a first-ever picnic at the Botanic Gardens!! hehehe weird eh? in almost 5 years being together, kami belom pernah pernah gi picnic bersame! hahaha Valentine's day was the onli time i tot of having a meal on a mat in a field under the stars! Hahaha
Here's the spread all over the spanking new mat which Mai Bies bought specially for this picnic! We got a perfect spot under a tree among the overgrown roots and most importantly, away from the blistering hot sun!! (apparently for the first 45mins only)
(In clockwise motion: my plate of terrifically prepared lunch, Snapple for me, dessert comprising 2 Yanyans, another prepared lunch, forknspoon, honey roasted beef which was marinated for the past 3 days!!, and Snapple sebelah)
Truly a delightful spread i tell ya!! Time for a food review!! I know u guys n gals are dreading to noe wad these pics taste like in real life!! hahah let the lucky one whu had a taste till his perot bone-chet, tell u of his experience!!
#1. Snapple Grape Drink: This drink was still kept chilled despite the blazing weather and the wispy clouds in the velvety blue sky. It added the tingling taste of sour n sweet to the whole 4 course meal with the backdrop of the greenery of Singapore's fauna.. Cheyy...

#2. Egg Mayo Sandwich. Tho it may not look presentable yet in the Ziploc bag n from this angle, i assure u that the Egg n Mayo sandwich sure packs a punch in the cuisine!! Truly fantastic!! Subtle yet added with pepper for a tinge of spice! Macam jugak relationship!! Tee hee hee!! =D *blushes* This sandwich was made using french loaves and it was nice with great texture..
#3. Mashed Potato wif Dressing. Well, my sis asked me "Whats that ar?!" Indeed it may look out of the ordinary from this angle, but then u should look at how beautifully topped off with cheese it was!! This would be the most filling food item on the menu!
The mashed potatoes wif beef bits n sumting-cheese at the top!! The inti was carefully scraped off to allow the skin to be re-used as a bowl!! Clever rite!! so creative one Wittle Bies!! hahaha i suggested putting in soup after we were done wif the potatoes!! Clever oso rite? hahaha
#4. Honey Baked Beef. And last but not least, Not last for all, here is the honey roasted meat which has been cooked to perfection and marinated till the flavour will tingle ur senses like a little bell!! hahaha haf u guys n gals eaten satay?
well, here i am proudly disclaiming that my Wittle Mai Bunny cooks meat like satay at the best satay place that u have aever eaten at!! Truly!! it was indeed, if i am to choose one, the highlight odf that afternoon's lunch!! Penyebab bonechet la kater kan..
"Tapi biar bonechet di perot, jgn bonechet di hati.."

And what would be a food critic if I didnt show u the glitz n glam behind the cuiine that was being displayed?! Tadaaaahhh.. i present to you, the chef in the kitchen, the fingers which peeled the onions, the hands which stirred the pot, the sweetheart which thought of the whole MaiNan's
day out!
Cheers!! As i tuck into the sublime aroma and rich tastes of the cuisine which lay before my eyes!! Jempots!! =D
After the lunch, we did play a game or two of Dai-Dee or in chinese the call it Big Two! =D Being an avid player of such a card game in the ol' sec school era, i easily brushed aside the opposition wif a clean cut, coolly finished, neatly passed 3-2 victory!! Woo hooo!! and thus, i shall post to you the pics of Ah Pek n Nyonya tgh main pakau..
Maseh ganteng ganteng you!
Ini gambar mai baru ternampak my combo of flushes n pairs which was given out hand after hand, and thus, resulting in a hands-down win in the first game of Dai-Dee!! Truly i haf not lost the touch of a winner.. And as a result, i get one sip off her Snapple Grape juice cos i finished mine!! Hey, cuace panas hokay!!
(Model payung pic aka my Bangla picture; tunggu nak hantar balek aje gambar pat Dhaka, Bangladesh atau Mumbai, India)
This is me again after grabbing the Best-of-Five series of Dai-Dee.. It just simply added on to the happiness n joy that our monthsary brought on that day!! hahaha Actually this was taken as i was sweating profucely under the unforgiving sun!
This was despite us shifting the mat about three times!! hahahah budden you can see the trusty Esprit umbrella at the back which was the reason why i didnt soak my shirt wet with perspiration n sekali gus, putting me in a bad mood.
ahaha thanks umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh!
(Looking ahead to happy dapper times together..)
Lastly, before i end off Botanic Gardens picnic wif Mai n Nan, id like to post my favret pic!! i dunno why, cos perhaps it just exudes happiness n joy.. cos Mai is beside me...
*MmuUuaAacksS*
Stay tunes for the second part of the day in the next entry!!
Toodles!!
