De one with Sweet & Steamboat celebration

Sunny day

Today, I did a very bad thing. I conveniently skipped my lecture and went to meet Sweet to swim cum sun-tan at Bukit Batok Swimming Complex. As what Sweet said, the place was indeed peaceful. In my opinion, it's likely due to the big area in which the benches are spreaded apart from one another, allowing for larger personal space. Sigh. End up, Sweet got tanner than me. Before showering, I wanted to swim longer at the medium pool. "Thank you and muacks" #1: Sweet was so lovingly patient, waited in the pool edge for me.

After that, we took a bus down to Westmall where we had a sumptuous meal at Malim (oops, can't recall what's the English name). We ordered standard and familiar dim sum: Xiu mai, Xiao long bao, Ling long bao glutinous rice, Fried carrot cake. Being adventurous, we tried other dishes like Fried Beancurd skin with You Tiao (You Tiao reminds me of Chin Yu, cause there was a moment I used this nickname on him, for pure teasing), Fried Prawn Fritters, Crumple Prok Bun and Pey Dan Congee. Last but not least, an anticipating Red bean pancake which turned out to be disappointing. Omg. "Thank you and muacks" #2: Sweet was adapting my eating habit of adding pepper with congee (when Sweet normally like congee with chili only).
"Thank you and muacks" #3: Sweet treat me. Not forgetting, we had a fun moment, serving each other tea. hehe. The food taste good. Especially the sample of spicy and sour cabbage. Plus the CUTLERIES (Sweet kept laughing when I said it wrongly as Utensilies) and eating plate were all different and varied in shapes.

After that, I said I wanna eat Mr Softee and Sweet brought me to the neighbourhood's 7-Elevens. I love Mr Softee alot! Ever since young, I used to go to a market place with my granny in the morning over every weekend. Without fail, she will buy me Mr Softee. Because I hate walking and the ice-cream was to cool me down and coax me into walking. Hehe. Pretty spolit kid right?

Sweet could sense I didn't wanna go back so early. So Sweet brought me to this Church of St Mary of the Angels, wanting me to meet someone.. who turned out to be the malaysian pastor there, Friar John. erm.. well, it's a highly modernised church with cool design and simple yet stylish architectured building. It's patron-Saint was St Francis of Assisi. A saint who loved nature and ever-kind to animals. That's part of what determine the simple design of the Church. Hehe.. Sweet asked me to close my eyes and guided me up to a columbrium. At the end of this stagment was Stain glass picture which caught my liking. It depicts the three scenes, namely the Baptise of Christ, St Anthony and St Francis Union of Hands and Lady Mary's visit from Saint Gabriel. I enjoyed depicting the whole picture and implications by Sweet and Friar John. Art never fails to tell a million words.

Back at home, Mama and Jasmine prepared steamboat celebration for an advanced 21st Birthday gala for me. When I just got home, ah-ma presented me with the presents they bought for me. It was a really beautiful and expensive white gold Ring and a bracelet! Super nice!! I adore and appreciate it alot!

Thanks everyone for everything. Love my family! and definately, I'll never forget my late-mummy. I think you will be happy for me in wherever you are. I feel it in my heart. Forever...
