Going to keep it short because I know you guys are bored of reading but anyway just view the photos if you want(:

Cai Jing's Birthday Celebration

Alson, Me, Ken, Joyce, Birthday girl Chai and Jasmine!

 We celebrated BFF Cai Jing's 20th birthday at Paradise Dynasty! Happy birthday again Chai! Enjoy your Taiwan trip and be safe! 

Another group shot(: We all hid behind Jas because we want to look nicer lmao

Alson and me went to get the birthday cup cakes @ Raffles City!

Random photos and rants! 

Brought my cousin to the playground and play and I saw this on the ground! Can you believe it?! It's a rusty pen knife blade lying on the play ground. An open blade on the play ground is nothing but an express ticket to an accident, moreover it is rusty that means chances of the victim getting tenatus is exponentially higher! It's so irresponsible for people to just throw sharp and dangerous objects on the ground. I mean seriously please be more responsible when you dispose items like this, what if some one left a chopping on the play ground and your child chops his arm off? A child is so innocent he/she may not understand the dire consequences of playing with dangerous stuff! I swept it into the secure drain so no one would get injured here. I didn't want to pick it up because I don't want to risk getting a tetanus cut!

Rusty pen knife blade left by an irresponsible mother!@#$^&

Anyway after the stupid rants that left me infuriated, let's go to something cute! 

Here's a picture of my cousin playing with bubbles in the playground(: 

Look how happy he is with his Ben 10 watch on one hand and a bubble gun on the other!

I saw an article about food hacks and I was particularly interested in this DIY Oreo ice cream that is very similar to Macdonald's Oreo Mcflurry. So I tried it, made some for Ken and Cai Jing when they came to my house! I also tried the hack where you place a tub of ice cream in a zip loc bag to keep it soft and creamy, IT REALLY WORKS!!! It's easier to scoop too! But the pitfall is that it kind of makes it melt faster than normal.

DIY Oreo Ice cream(:

 I also made this baked potato after reading a food blog, it's very tasty! But I had to add a little bit more salt which is extremely unhealthy and detrimental to my health I know... =(

But it's still delicious!

 

 Was resting during my cycling adventure and this uncle brought his dog out. It's so cute the dog is like "你看我我看回你lor!" (Translation in the photo's caption)

The dog is like you see me? I see you back lor

Last photo to end the post, I just love bringing her to do window shopping at those supermarkets like cold storage especially the canned section idk why and she loves to take photos there HAHAHA she gets forced to go there with me.

Ended with a photo of her to show that at the end of the day I am still thinking about her! *Passes you a vomit bucket* 

That's the end of this post, thanks again for reading if you are! Again anymore hate questions (nice feedback more appreciated) feel free to use the askfm box to get to me! Take care for now(:

How to make your girlfriend happy (99.9% Success rate)

Hello! Been quite a while since I last posted so I'm back with some okay maybe just one idea to make your girlfriend happy. This time I cooked up something SLIGHTLY different.

Final Product (I censored the stuff on the card for privacy purposes hehe)

Ingredients used:  

1. Streaky Bacon 
2. Cherry tomatoes on vine 
3. Salmon Fillet 
4. 2 eggs 
5. Capsicums
6. Extra virgin olive oil

Optional: 

• Cute animal decoration sticks (Cosmetics purpose only) 

Equipment/Items used:

1. Small pan (those that they recommend u use to make a sunny side up egg, I used this to slowly pan fry the vine tomatoes) 
2. Round frying pan (medium sized) 
3. Grilling pan (Not sure what it's called but I used the ones where they use to maybe pan grill the steaks and have those straight lines) 
4. Spatula 
5. Bowls 
6. Fork 
7. Knife
8. Chopping board 
9. Mini tongs 
10. A card 
11. A rose
12. M&Ms 
13. Disposable utensils 
14. A small lunch box (I bought mine from Daiso) 

 Difficulty level: ☆☆☆ (Not super hard but would help if you know how to cook basic stuff like eggs) 

Okay so basically I bought the vine tomatoes with my girlfriend when we went to cold storage a few days back, I sneaked it into the basket when she wasn't looking as I was lazy to go back just to buy the vine tomatoes. 

Steps:  

1.  Wash all the equipment and dry it
2. Add olive oil ( amount depending on how big ur fillet is) and heat the pans 
3. Once it's hot like your girlfriend, place the fillet skin down and leave it for about 5minutes 
4.  Carefully place the vine tomatoes on the egg frying pan( hot and oiled pan) and leave it to slowly grill 
5. I allowed the bacon to make friends with the salmon in the pan together because my pan is large enough
6.   Chop the capsicum anyway you like it doesn't really matter, I added it because there was still some space left and it just feels 'empty' 
7. Flip the bacon after about 2 to 3 minutes depending on how you like your bacon to be 
8. Once 5 minutes is up, carefully flip the salmon fillet with tongs and use assistance from a small knife, be very careful because it is as fragile an 80 year old man with osteoporosis. Once flipped leave it for another +-5 minutes 
9. Wash the eggs before you crack them because they may contain bacterial, dirt or feathers( its up to you but I wash it) 
10. Crack them into a small bowl and beat the eggs with a fork
11. Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan,  slowly pour them in when the pan is hot and constantly stir it with a spatula
12. Remove it from the fire and continue to stir it, and put it back. Repeat this a few times so it doesn't over cook, you can add a nap of butter to make it smoother.
13. Once the bacon and fillet reaches your desired outcome, remove them from the heat and place it on the container. 
14. Roll the bacon into with tongs and hold it together with the animal sticks (you can really just use tooth picks it doesn't matter, I used it because I bought it a a few months ago and didn't really have the opportunity to use it.) 
15. Once everything is cooked and bacon is rolled, place the tomatoes on the fillet and decorate with the capsicums. 
16. You can grind some salt and pepper or other flavourings that you desire on the eggs and fillet and also on the vine tomatoes.
17. Coarse grind salt looks so sexy on my vine tomatoes. 

Once you are done it should look something like this.

This was after I placed everything 

 However, soon I realized that I couldn't close the lid on it because it would crush my sexy tomatoes if I force the lid on it. So I had no choice but to swap the sexy tomatoes with the not-so-sexy capsicum slices. And this is how it looks at the end. Remember to pack the disposable utensils and a pack of tissues for her to clean up easier after she finish the food. (Be thoughtful, she would appreciate it)

Swapped my sexy tomatoes with the capsicum

 Once you are done with the lid, you could just do like I did at the first photo on top of this post and give it to your girlfriend. She should be happy to eat it. She could read the card and look at something pretty to remind her that she is pretty(:

PS: If the food fails to make her happy, the chocolate should save you bye. *Runs* 
PPS: One of my readers actually asked if I was trying to gain advertorials or what so I just want to say that I only blog leisurely and not for any monetary gain. I can't gain any either way because I'm not a professional blogger, I'm just sharing parts of my life. You can choose not to read, you can even block me but I would appreciate it if you could help me share it if you think it would help make someone happy =D *Anymore hate questions feel free to ask anonymously through the askfm box there(:
Hope this helps!

Farmart

♡

Went to Farmart with my cutie girlfriend the other day. It was kind of nice to be feeding the animals at their animal corner but we felt kind of sad because of their(animals there) living conditions. It was extremely foul-smelled and there were worms, flies, ants and mosquitoes around their cages and ground. It is really disgusting, everything was so poorly maintained and absurdly dirty. The animals seem starved and lowly-energized, they only became active and even combative when they saw visitors coming with food.

One obvious tell-tale sign about the animals being extremely hungry and starved is when I fed them food, both rabbits became attacking each other, same goes for the parrots when I fed them the sunflower seeds... They pecked each other, it's just depressing, nonetheless we had fun feeding them. I realized the goats are not pleasurable to the touch so don't bother to sayang them. Go sayang your girlfriend or boyfriend instead. The goat's skin are extremely rough, when I looked into its eyes they seem to be filled with nothing but sorrow.

One of the 'cleaner' rabbits

We took public transport to Chua Chu Kang and took their shuttle buses which costs $1 per trip. If you want you could drive there as there are plenty of parking lots there but it would be kind of hot because it is a non-sheltered gantry carpark.For the feeding of animals we bought a set for $5 and 2 extra ala carte feed for the poor rabbits and hamsters etc.


Please do not sneak in outside food to feed them because it may be detrimental to their health.
 
Stuff to do there: (* = Recommended to try based on personal experience)

• Feeding of animals (Some animals are not allowed to be fed, they will put up a sign if it's not allowed)
• Rabbits *
• Guinea Pigs
• Hamsters
• Rats
• Fishes
• Frogs (They don't seem to give a **** about the food despite several tries)
• Goats *
• Chicks and Chicken 
• Parrots 
• Mosquitoes (Buffet style)
  The animal feed costs $5 per set (She will give you a basket that contains the following)
• Carrots (For small animals like the rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters etc)
• Vegetables (For the goats)
• Large balls of fish food (For fish and the frogs who doesn't give a **** like I said so don't bother feeding them)
• Sunflower Seeds (Parrots)
• Baby corn  (For small animals like the carrots) 

*You can purchase any extra feed for $1 per pack*

• Prawning (Doesn't look like there's much though) 
• Pet grooming (There are pet shops that provides grooming services and selling of pets)
• Food 
• Tze Char (Looks like there are a lot of food but we didn't bother eating there) 
• BBQ Seafood 
• Parrot show (Parrots playing basketball, quite cute) *
• Educational tours (Advance booking is required) 

And don't bother to touch the stray dogs thinking they are cute, I warned my gf not to touch it but she insisted in trying to sayang it, as soon as her hand goes near it turned combative, not funny as it may give you rabies, and contrary to popular belief, rabies is worse than babies so don't try your luck it's just not worth it.

2nd year Anniversary Ideas

Happy 2nd Year Anniversary to us(:

Hello everybody! It's finally time for me to post, can't post earlier because my girlfriend hasn't seen the surprise yet but now that she's seen it, I can come up with a tutorial for all you guys and girl who are interested in making something that your other partner should appreciate(especially girls).

Our 2nd year anniversary was actually on 31st of September but I gave her 2 roses and a letter on that day first. You could give her something small while working on your secret love-cursed item. I made a highly customized present for her, I'm not sure what it should be called but you'll see it for yourself. I'll start with a step by step tutorial and just for you guys, I'm adding each step with pictures just for you! =D

This is really beneficial because as I'm making something for my girlfriend, I learnt many new words because I have to flip the dictionary alot of times and as I do, I read the definitions for words that I have not seen before. So it's really educational as well. The hearts that you see in this photo frame are words that describes my girlfriend, it's cut out from a dictionary.

Customized Heart Shape Descriptor for your girlfriend 

Patience Level required: 99999 (You have been warned)
Items Required:

• Photo Frame (Small to medium will do) 
• Scissors
• Small or medium heart shape cutters 
• Pen knife 
• Pencil 
• Cutting Board (You can use stacks of newspaper if you don't have one it's okay, it's just to protect your table or floor when using the pen knife) 
• Alphabet stickers 
• Cute stickers that your gf/bf likes
• Old Dictionary/Old book(Preferably romance) 
• Plain Scrapbook paper (Nice colour that she likes)
• Glue(those UHU dry stick glue) 
• Super Glue 
• A small photo/Polaroid of you and her together (preferably smaller size as the frame) 
• Tweezers
• Gift wrapping paper

Optional:

• Mini Ziplock bags (To contain your love for her in the form of paper hearts) 
• Music (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) [Prevents you from going insane]

Instructions: 
1) Open the photo frame and remove the protective/cosmetic piece of paper/backing that is already inside

2) Remove the standee, place it on the scrapbook paper that you are going to use and draw it's outline with a pencil (Lightly but visible line will do) 

 3) Use your pen knife and carefully cut the lines out (Remember to place the cutting board or thick newspaper behind other wise you will cry after you cut it) *Girls(Some) please don't use it to cut yourself*

 

 4) Superimpose the piece of cut scrapbook paper over the standee frame to check that the dimensions are the same

 5) Summon your heart shape cutters (the centre one you can get it from Daiso for $2)

 *THIS IS WHERE REAL PATIENCE IS REQUIRED* * I literally spent almost a day or two flipping the entire dictionary and finding words that describes my cutie girlfriend*

6) However, once you are done, you can tear it out or cut that section out and use your puncher to punch it out (It is very frustrating as you have to properly align it)

The best single word to describe all our girlfriends(:

It should look something like this after you punched it with the heart shape puncher

  

7) Repeat the process until you have reached your desired number of hearts or until your patience runs out and pray you have enough  otherwise just open your mouth and place your right thumb in your mouth and suck it

8) Once you are done you can place them in the mini zip lock bags like this while you clear up some thrash first

 

 9) Basically what you do next is just to paste maybe 4 or 5 (Vary it according to the size of your photo frame)  in each row like the following. But you need to keep some space for your couple photo (Highly recommended for you to paste the photo FIRST to prevent the realization that you do not have enough space after you are done pasting the hearts)
To paste it you just use tweezers and dap the back of the heart on some dry glue stick and paste it on the scrapbook paper in any way you like
10) Repeat until you are done

 Mine looks like this after the creative department of my brain finally decides to kick me out 

Not sure if you can see it but it actually has a shape of a heart around the photo(:

11) It's time to use the alphabet letters and paste her name on it. You can use a ruler to help with the alignment if you know you have alignment issues like me.

12) You can further decorate it with stickers that are cute but keep it simple because they say 简单就是美 (It means Simplicity is beauty in Mandarin). 

Final product when it's completed (Without wrapping)

13) Wrap it with gift wrapping paper, I wrapped it to protect the precious contents and for her to have something to look forward to, but it's also because she would feel sad when we have to part for the day so it's a surprise to also cheer her up when we part because we can't get enough of each other! *Here's a bucket for you to vomit HAHAHAHA*

Final product after it's wrapped (:

THERE YOU GO MY FRIENDS(: 

Please take these tips very seriously as it would effectively affect your life on earth

TIPS:

• Here are some words that you should probably avoid using to describe your partner at all cost

Avoid.At.All.Cost

• If for some reason the heart shape gets caught or it's not cut properly, DO NOT FORCE IT OUT, I SWEAR IT WILL F****** tear and you will want to roll into a ball and cry after that. Because once certain words are used, you can never get it back (Deep meaning alert)
  Just use the penknife and carefully cut AROUND it and carefully extract it, after which, use the scissors and carefully trim it to a heart shape, I got so pissed off doing this for so many times that I almost stabbed myself with a banana  
• I realize that it can sometimes be avoided if you cut it swiftly like punch it in one sharp and fluid motion

Caught or not cut properly like this

• if you are a lazy bum bum you can make your life easier by searching for synonyms of certain words like beautiful on thesaurus so it may be easier and quicker for you to search it on the paper dictionary itself
• Off the fan or stay away from open windows while doing this asyou are working with small pieces of paper so unless you like picking small stuff on the ground, would strongly suggest to remove any potential wind elements 
• You can purchase most of the stuff at normal handicraft/stationery stores such as Popular, Daiso, Muji and some slightly more atas stationery stores which I forgot the name
• Alternatively before you decided to buy, try to ask around to see if anyone has the stuff that you may need so you can save money, try to visualize how the end product will look like in accordance to your expectations before you actually do it

=======================================================================

 How we celebrated 

1.  Movie (Ultima Seats)
2. Shopping 
3. Sentosa Skyride & Luge 
4. Celebrate BFF birthday(post)

Movie

We started off by watching 'November Man' at Cathay Cineplexes @ JEM. We booked the ultima seats (Best seats for an affordable price) The seat is really designed for couples. You can even lie down sideways to watch the movie and at both sides there are privacy covers to give you more privacy eh (wink wink), I think that is really nice because I wouldn't want other people to look at us while we cudde and watch the movie. There is also more leg space which is awesome, it also comes not only with the usual cup holder and also a popcorn holder which is awesome because when I want to take a break from the munching I usually place it on the ground which ended up getting kicked one way or another. We literally had the best seats in the house as we took the centre seats, and Ultima seats are only located at the end of the theatre. 

Price: $31.50 (Inclusive of booking fee of $1.50)  [Note that we went on a Saturday]

[System will force you to book one pair of ultima seats]

Outlet: JEM Shopping Mall 

Here's how it looks like

Shopping

Pretty standard, I like to do window shopping at major supermarkets especially Fairprice XTRA and Cold Storage, I would go to the canned food storage and look around. She would follow me and look around. When it's her turn, we went to shop at some clothing store where I would give her opinions on which one looks nicer and like any girl, she would question my opinion HAHAHA but ok she got the one I said looks nice on her anyway hehe 

Sentosa Skyride & Luge

We took the Sentosa Express (Tram) at VivoCity and alighted at Imbiah Station. We only wanted to go for the single-ride therefore we had to purchase tickets only at their main skyride & luge counter as online bookings will only allow you to purchase the bundle of 3 rides.

Last photo that I'm gonna post for the sentosa trip

 Celebration of BFF's birthday 
After we had so much fun at Sentosa, we went to the birthday boy Alson Lim's house and had a steamboat/grill dinner. As usual I got lost while attempting to locate his house without my compass HAHAHA because we always drive in and the last time we went there was like in 1947.
It was actually a post birthday celebration and sort of like a pre-flight gathering/dinner since he is going to Japan on a school trip for 10 days. So Alson if you are reading this, Happy 20th Birthday Bro!

Enough of the typing and let's go to the photos and by the way I didn't take a picture of the cake because it's just like any ordinary cake.

BFFS (:
Birthday boy is the one wearing NP Shirt

BFFs and my cutie gf(:

Posing for shots

With that, I shall end my post here and hope that I helped you one way or another or that you simply enjoy reading my posts. Would appreciate if you could help me share it so that more guys would be more into doing stuff for their girlfriends(: 

If you have any questions you can use the anonymous askfm box or tweet me @Benjaminyql, wa, or fb pm me if we are friends. Even if you don't know me or just need help I'll be willing to help you(: 

Would like to thank Lim Xin Rong for lending me the heart shape cutters(: 

Once again, HAPPY 2nd YEAR ANNIVERSARY MY DEAR GIRL!

=======================================================================

Girlfriend's birthday!

HELLO, thanks for taking time to read my blog, I really appreciate it =D

As promised in the last post, here is the post on my girlfriend's birthday. Just a foreword: It's nothing extravagant, so don't expect me skydiving with her and landing on the Eiffel tower ok!

But honestly, I feel that guys who are born rich are really lucky because they never have to worry about money. Money in Singapore can really do miracles. Money is king, no money no talk. Especially if you own a car, I read an article that states that the money that you use to buy an average HDB flat can be used to buy an island in another country, YES THAT'S RIGHT A FREAKING ISLAND. If you are able to own a car you are considered rich already.

Back to  what I was trying to say, I feel that guys shouldn't just buy tons of branded stuff for their girlfriend because it really doesn't mean anything. Yes your girl may be extremely happy because it's branded stuff but if your girl truly loves you, she wouldn't be pestering you to get branded stuff for her because the harsh reality is, she loves your money more than you (Go think about it). I don't mean to say ALL girls or ALL guys are like this, I am just saying some are like this. For that matter, I sincerely apologize if you feel offended by this but I am not targeting at anyone at all. I am just expressing my opinion which if you are offended, please exit this blog now thank you. Nonetheless it would obviously be a great boost if you are rich and can afford the luxuries for her(:

What you should do: 

• Secretly plan dates/surprises for her (Girls love surprisesssss) 
• Find out what she likes and take note of whatever she mentions that she likes
• Eg: A month ago during your casual chat she mentioned that she likes to eat this particular brand/flavour of chocolate and you can surprise her by getting it when she is having her period or feeling down for whatever reason (girls love it when you remember the small little things)
• You can also take note of her twitter posts, I realize a girl usually likes to post little thoughts on social media especially on twitter, so you can just stalk once in a while and take note of what she likes and dislikes
• Impress her with pickup lines, cheesy ones also can (Use with caution and do not overuse to the extent that you are getting irritating) 
• Cook for her ( You can refer to my first post for ideas on what to cook for your girlfriend) 
• Unexpectedly pop up and surprise her!
• Eg: You know she is going to be at the library studying until 4.30pm so you camp there at 4.20 or 4pm if you are really kiasi (LIKE ME HAHAHA), and just surprise her with her favourite chocolate or something
•  Buy flowers for her (Try hand-pick the roses/flowers that are the most beautiful ones like the ones that are on the verge or blooming or already blooming so that your girlfriend can get the best because she deserves nothing but the best) 
• I like to get sunflowers, pink/red roses 
• Try not to stress too much on how many you should get, no need to spend hundreds over dollars just for flowers, chances are she'll smile at it for a while and throw it aside(put it in a vase or bottle of water and wait for it's funeral that's all, but still get it if she likes it)
•  Be nice to her pets especially dogs, why shouldn't you be nice to animals anyway?
• Give her unlimited amounts of XOXO 
• Cuddle her to sleep 
• Listen to her rants
• Be there for her especially when she is down or having her period

Alright enough of the tips, let me just tell you how I celebrated my girlfriend's birthday(:

I actually planned this like quite a few months ago in my head but only when I reached the last month or two before I started actualizing it (research on the prices and where to get what etc). So the main surprise in in the first photo below.

Would like to thank the following: 

1. Wilna (for sacrificing her time to assist me in the transportation of the helium balloons) 
2. Lipin (Gf's sister for being my spy, granting me access and keeping a secret)
3. Her family for playing along

The birthday present
 I did my market research on the price of helium balloons + delivery and what types of balloons should I get, I contacted a seller which I eventually chose based on their website. I chose to self-collect because I feel that delivery is really quite expensive and I do not see the need as it is quite near to my location. After a few rounds of friendly discussion with the store owner, I decided to take 15 normal helium balloons of assorted colours with 3 of it being heart shape ( 2 red 1 pink ) as seen in the photograph below.

As for the present, I really had a hard time sourcing for this particular Charles & Keith wallet that is a new design, Called outlet A, outlet A told me outlet B have it, called outlet B and was informed that they do not have it at all and referred me to outlet C, when I finally contacted outlet C, I was really annoyed because they don't have it either. So not wanting to give up that easily, I went down to one of the outlets and asked and see it for myself, turns out they really don't have it. So I gave up and ordered it online at their website. Delivery was rather fast, it got delivered within 3 working days( they told me at least a week if I'm not wrong). I then went to get some nice wrapping paper to wrap it up which I also had a hard time deciding because they all look so nice.... ( Eventually got the pink one because she likes baby pink) Reason for this present: Her previous wallet is very tattered and is actually spoilt so I decided to get something that is practical yet she likes it.

I made a pack of goodies for her which had sachets of hot chocolate powder, M&M peanut butter chocolate and sour candy if I didn't remember wrongly. Placed it together with the present.  I wrote a letter and printed a pocket-sized photo of us together, laminated it and placed it together with the letter as shown. Remember to trim the sharp edges off so as to protect your girl from getting cut.  Oh yep initially I wanted to place ribbons on the present because it looks kind of plain but I decided to place her favourite lollipops at the corner to replace the ribbons as it's more practical(:

The Surprise
This part is where it gets REEEALLLLLY tricky, I had to enlist the help of her sister and eventually whole family LOL! I contacted her sister a week in advanced and explained to her of my plan. The plan was for her to open the door for me to enter and place my surprises right after my girlfriend leaves the house to meet me. I camped near her house and literally waited for my girlfriend to leave house and as soon as I heard her leaving the house, I rushed in and place all the surprises because I told my girlfriend to wait for me at the bus stop where I had to lie to her about why I was late when she arrived first. It was literally like rush hour in her house. Everything was perfect and according to my plan but something terrible happened and almost ruined it *Wipes sweat*. After I was done, I rushed down and literally ran but the thing was, I ran FROM the wrong direction, because normally I should have came from the opposite side of the traffic but instead, she saw me coming from her side. I had to nervously lie by saying that I had a diarrhea and ran overshot the bus stop. ( It was a bad excuse but it was what my goldfish brain could think of at that tensed moment) I CANNOT BELIEVE I ALMOST BLEW IT!!!

But she believed me I think and I brought her to Westgate's Paradise Dynasty to have the coloured xiao long baos and dinner without telling her where we are headed for. After we are done with the dinner, I finally managed to convince my girlfriend to enter the playground at the top, We played it BECAUSE WE CAN AND WE ARE KIDS! We climbed up the the confined spaces and slide down. But there was one that was really funny because after we painstakingly reached the top, we realized there was no slide. OUR WHOLE LIFE WAS A LIE. We had to climb down miserably but we did take photos hehe.

After playing a while we went home because she still has school the following morning =(
Good times always flies... Anyway on the entire journey home, I was so excited to see her reaction and her smile! Her whole family had played along by not telling her of the surprise that I had prepared and they even closed the door LOL! When we reached home they were all smirking like um chio if you can understand. I walked her into her room and she literally was surprised and I can tell that happiness took command of her because she was shocked and literally froze for a second there before demanding to know when I did it HAHAHA! At that point I was so happy because my plan WAS A GREAT SUCCESS! *party poppers popping*
But I didn't get a cake like last year ( You can check out the cake that I customized for her in my instagram: @Benjaminyql). So when I decided its time for me to leave because they have to study for their exams and do their homework, her Dad said "Ben lets go get birthday cake together". I was like HELL YEAH! So that's how the future son-in law and father in law bond HAHAHA (we do go out together with her family to movies sometimes too) But honestly I am willing to do anything just to see my girl smile because that is one of the sweetest thing a guy can and should do.

Okay I think I typed quite a length and repetitive post so I'm gonna stop here and let you enjoy the photos(:

 This was how it looked and supposed to be like right after I'm done with the placement and stuff
Tip: If she does not seem to like it at all/have any reaction then either one of this is true.

1) She's not a girl 

2) Refer to 1

This was how it looked like when we actually got home

I appreciate if you have positive feedback but I welcome constructive criticism that can help me improve myself or my ideas and once again YES WE ARE KIDS!

How to know if I look like a kid:
*Inside Udders cafe*
Me: Can I try the blah blah blah ice cream(Alcoholic) pls?
Staff: Are you above 18?
.....

Here's the information about the balloon store if you are interested to get it for your girlfriend/boyfriend ( Girls enjoy the presence of balloons but I would suck the helium and say I love you to my girlfriend)


ThatBalloonShop
Each Helium balloon is $1.80 (Bulk purchase will earn you a discount)
Self-Collection extra $5 (Collection point is at Westmall)
Delivery charge: $30 Nett
I purchased 15 helium balloons in total
-13 regular assorted helium balloons of various colours
- 2 red heart shaped helium balloons
- 1 hot pink heart shaped helium balloon
Total for mine was $32 for the balloons alone if you wish to know
*Note that they do not have a physical store therefore I cannot provide you with the address*


*Thing to note is that the Helium can only be sustained for 6-8 hours so you should gauge it properly as I didn't and most of it were like 'dying' which sucks, I don't want that to happen to you*
