Chinese New Year and Valentines

I did feel a bit of a slack starting of this year. Still hoping that a gush of energy will emerge somehow from somewhere.

what's memorable this CNY?
- Constance's red bean soup/paste with HD Hazelnut crunch ice-cream
- short but power catching-up gathering at Jake and Dinah's place.
- Jas's white fungus dessert, though too sweet but worth a try to make.
- the little gambling game with my family. Why didn't we do that when Dad is alive?
- Natasha looks perfectly sweet in her Pink Cheong Sam.
- 5 days straight no work and all nua since I took leave on Monday (the 11th).
- We tortured Nathan to play mahjong with us till past midnight - without realising it.

Valentines?
I started the morning with hubby's love proclaimation and kisses. We went to Swirl to chill out after the usual dinner at home.
Honestly, hubby is not the kind that would gladly drive from Pasir Ris to Bt Timah to have dessert. He obliged to my request just because ... I asked. The gesture he made is way sweeter than flowers.
