Side story from JL's B'day

So this is something that happened on my friend JL's birthday (main post here), but wifey said this story is so epic that it deserves its own post. So yup, hope you enjoy this story of me and my wife's silly times :')

When we went to Movenpick in the evening for dessert, my wifey and I decided it would be very romantic if we shared desserts.

Thus, being the dessert crazed people we are, we cheerfully barged into the store arm in arm whilst totally disregarding the queue waiting to be served. We pasted our faces pretty much literally in front of the cakes cabinet - where three of the desserts called out to our hearts. We painfully narrowed our selection to the Chocolate Espresso Cake and the Mocha Tart.

Then we directed our attention to the ice cream cabinet and simultaneously agreed to get 3 scoops of ice cream as well.

However, as dinner was really filling (curry does that aye ;w;) we could only pick one cake.. 

Wifey had been in love with Mocha tarts since the start of our uni days, but the Chocolate espresso cake looked too good to pass up too, and so we decided to paper scissors rock for it. The conversation that occurred next went something like:

Wifey: "Lets paper scissors rock for it"

"PAPER SCISSORS -

Wifey: "- wait! Are you espresso cake or mocha tart?"

Me: "I'll be espresso cake and you be mocha?"

W: "Sounds good, so..."

"PAPER SCI-

W: "-waaaaait! Best out of three? Or first to three?"

M: "First to three, and winner gets their cake"

Then the epic PSR battle occured with scores as follows:

Wifey:me 

- 1:0

- 1:1

- 2:1

- 2:2

- 3:2

So wifey won, and I was fully prepared to get the Mocha tart since I like both anyway, but then:

W: "...but I kinda actually want the espresso cake..."

==; WHY DID WE PSR THEN!?!?!?!? ./fliptable

And, of course, after that statement, we couldn't help giggling like crazy as we relayed this entire conversation to our friends who were waiting in the queue like all the other normal people. >>;

At this point, I should probably reiterate that this whole thing occurred in full view of not only the store staff, but also every single other customer inside.

This day, wifey maintains that the PSR was so she could know which cake she truly wanted (just like the whole "you'll know what you truly want when you flip a coin and it's in the air" philosophy).

Thinking back, if we hadn't been so indecisive about our choice in desserts, would the guy serving us have given us such massive portions of icecream? hmmmm..... #awks

didn't take a photo of our icecream though. It was in a really basic Movenpick cup :/

Thank god we unanimously agreed on the icecream flavours without having to battle at the counter....

JL's Birthday (last Sunday) and upcoming posts

I've come to realise that several of my friends' first name begin with J so it's going to become terribly confusing down the line.
I'm too lazy to go back and fix my earlier posts, so fingers crossed I never forget anyone's name (heh hehe), and from now on I will reference by first and last name, except for wifey and Tenshi because those aren't their actual names anyway .-.

So first of all, I should say that I'm really not supposed to be blogging right now, but it feels like I haven't posted anything in a loooong time. Is it really only week 2 of uni!? Somehow time flies too fast, and the mountain of work is being continuously pushed off to the side and replaced with mindless scrolling through facebook and watching all of eatyourkimchi's FAPFAP videos. ;-;

Upcoming posts

• Metamorphose fukubukuro 2014 reveal / Presents from wifey and Tenshi from Japan
• D.I.A belt review
• Nivea deodorant review

So many reviews wtf. Goes to show I haven't been out much ==

Anyway, the Nivea deodorant is from KnotJustAScarf who received several of them from BeautyReview - if you're reading this Arietta, thanks!

JL's B'day

JL is a friend I made in like, second year of uni through infosys, which he majors in and I take many courses in. His birthday was actually yesterday, but we celebrated it on Sunday. Unfortunately it happened to be iceskating in the afternoon, and I have pretty bad memories associated with iceskating and zero good ones, so I had to skip that ><

Later, I met up with them for a bit of pool, and dinner~

wifey took this photo...I look so noob wtf ;-;

I didn't expect many photos that day, so I went ahead with my half-assed uni-level-effort makeup... Actually jokes, I can't even be bothered with blush or eyeshadow anymore. So yeah, be prepared for nubface & mean eyes :<

We had dinner at a Thai restaurant in Albany. This was probably the first time I've had Thai in the last 5 or 10 years...

It was very strange having such runny and sweet curry, as I've recently been frequenting to an Indian restaurant in Browns Bay with my mom. Their $10 mains for dinner are just such a bargain, it's hard to say no after a long day.

Nevertheless, dinner was really enjoyable, and I met/caught up with some people I rarely see these days~

Photo for wifey's instagram

Duck curry! really nice *w*

Our flaming chicken which stopped flaming as soon as it got to our table :'(

group photo!

The last photo was taken after some people left, but that's ok since it's pretty much everyone from this group that I hang out with anyway ~

We also went to Movenpick for dessert, where wifey and I binged on 3 massive scoops of icecream (the guy working at the counter was so nice!!!) and this chocolate espresso cake.

I think I've already posted it on instagram, but I really need to reinforce that this was taken with hardcore lighting. 2 lights from different phones. lol.

/can'tgetoverit

so beautiful, delicious, and fattening.

I definitely ate too much that day. My stomach hurt all night ==;

Wifey and I also gave JL a tie, and a moustache car magnet.

Which he (amazingly) managed to put on his car upside down wtf.

I hope it's correctable, since I don't know if it's actually just magnetic or if there's glue involved...

What it looks like. Photo taken off google images

While looking for the above image, I stumbled across this.
This would have been pretty epic for JL's car too. heheheheheeee

Anyway, that was last week's little adventure. I now have the larger part of my 50 page infosys paper on Tweets during Social Crises to read and summarize, fun timez!

Wasabi Icecream, Chocolate creations, and brief update

Hiya! Just a quick post because I haven't put up anything today, and it just feels like ages since I posted. Even though my DIA fukubukuro reveal was just yesterday morning wtf .-.

So yesterday I went to the beach for a picnic and to catch up with some friends from uni~

I stayed under the beach umbrella almost the entire time between 12 and 4pm, but I still ended up with pretty clear tanlines ==
Should have just gone in a bikini and tanned properly. :/

Group photo at the Long Bay scenic photo frame ^-^

Selfie with the chocolates I've recently been addicted to making

So yeah, because my nails don't require maintenance that often (every two/three weeks?) I've been a little short on things to do. Because my new supplies haven't arrived from China yet, I can't start deco-ing so I've been making desserts!

More choccies~ so much fun making them! ^-^ (photo from my mom's wechat, very blurry sorry)

Meringue cups with wasabi vanilla icecream and dark chocolate.

Surprisingly the meringue dessert turned out better than I expected. Though, in saying that... perhaps wasabi icecream on soy waffles, or caramel pieces in wasabi icecream could work better? So many possible ways to use wasabi icecream!

As you can see I'm quite insistent on eating wasabi icecream right now. I have 3 more icecream flavours, and an iceblock flavour at home but I still went out to buy vanilla icecream for making wasabi vanilla icecream wtf.

Update

I will be picking up Tenshi-neechan on Saturday, so even if I don't post about Japan Day tomorrow (I am hoping I will!!), clothes from China and gifts from Japan will be arriving! I will have soooo much to review omg. Excited!!!

But yes, upcoming posts are Japan Day, Farmers A/W launch (when their promo vid comes out), Meta fukubukuro unboxing, haul review :)

So happy there's all this content prepared for the start of the uni semester! Hoping I can be consistent with the blogging for the entire year!

I GOT FLOWERS FOR VALENTINES!! :D

OK so I had to make another post on this year's Valentines because i got TWO PRETTY BOUQUETS OMFG.

Never before has this happened ;w; perhaps I'm being spoilt this year? hahaha

SO PRETTY NO!?

The left bouquet was from work, the right is from family friends that came to visit today ;w;
They brought chocolate too.
It's like their family is my family's Valentine (ી(΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)ʃ)♥ (is this emoji too creepy? yes? ok good!)


Yesterday we did end up going to our pretty-much-family friends' place. The son-in-law had fished up some crayfish, so we got to celebrate Chinese Lantern Fest feast with super fresh crayfish!
(perhaps it's lobster. I still don't know the difference between the two...)


Anyway, turns out I'm mildly allergic to it, so now I have these ugly and itchy af giant rash things on my hands and forearms == I hope they go away soon...


Tomorrow I will be shopping lots for presents, and hopefully to tone my hair! With purple dye. If I can find any good ones in NZ :(

How did you spend your Valentines? Link me if you blogged about your V-day!

My 21st Birthday! (and presents!) [Confetti]

Today (better be) a post spam, to catch up on at least some of the backlogged posts this year!!

I’d feel so bad if I let them run into the new year lol…

Anyway, my birthday was on the 5th, so I had a little dinner in Nov to celebrate with my friends that were going overseas. This bigger 21st party, I decided to hold with two high school friends ( P & T as captioned in the photos) since we’re all born in December and our friend circles are like, 90% the same lol #antisocialme

We had a simple barbeque in my back yard, and it was all just very chill *thank goodness*

The decoration was (truthfully) pretty last minute, but I think it looked really good with all the colors and stuff hehe. Super happy with a childish and playfully decorated 21st birthday ❤

We decided not to get catering, and made everything ourselves :3

Big thank you to all our friends that helped out on the day! And also E for the photos! ❤❤❤

Here are some photos from the day!
