Shermy celebrated her birthday on the 23 February! I bought her a chocolate cake quite last minute, and we had it at 4pm! =) She then had her birthday kakarigeiko at NUS later that evening. No, I'm impartial, SHE gets KKGK too! hehe
This evening, there was sweat in my armpits as I met up with Shermy's mom. The first meeting since 2 CNYs ago. The first since all the furor about her n me getting together started. I saw it as the first step towards an end that looks good! I'm surprised even that her mother initiated the whole meeting. Me? I was scared as hell to meet either of them cos of their animosity towards me. Even if she didn't come away today liking me any better, the fact that she accepted and wanted to meet up is the only way things can get better.
So.. Pray for me! =)

Valentine's Day!
Last year's V-day went by silently. almost sadly. But this year, Shermaine was with me! and.. we had a picnic out by Labrador Park. I picked her up from class, then we went to get a salad (which I didn't noe how to make, being a meat-eater..), and brought her to Cafe le Duck. There I whipped out the layout, opened the cooler, and took out the piece-de-resistance - Pasta ala Quah! Mmm mmm.. it DID look good, even tho it was over an hour cool, and the garnishing didn't look fresh anymore.
My darling squealed in delight at what I had prepared! hehe.. how satisfying. We exchanged pressies, then commenced the makan. We spent a couple of hours there, with the back door of the van opened out. 2 cars away was a Mazda 3 Hatch with its backdoor open as well, and the couple there were having a mini-BBQ. It was great fun watching the other couples stroll by and inquisitively peek at our van, with Shermy happily giving them toothy grins.
And as Shermy would gladly tell her friends, I brought the food, she brought... mosquito coil! hehe.. which is a fabulous thing! no mozzie stings at all the whole evening! =)
We reminisced at how previous V-days seemed so vindictive and evil. It is evil to non-couples unless u stay in and block out the commercial world out there. I think I used to blog abt how I hate V-day. This year with Shermy here, I have forgotten tht evil and moved on to a happier place. =)
