birthday celebration with dear :D

had a short ice skating session at kallang leisure centre. the crowd was overwhelming with young children and teenagers pouring into the ice skating rink. i guess it probably was expected since it's the December holidays but we took the chance cause it's been a long time since we managed to do anything out-doorish or sporting.

leonard doesn't really like ice-skating much so i'm touched that he took me ice-skating. and turns out, he wasn't as bad at ice-skating as he claims he is. for a while, i was a bit excited that i'm finally better than him at something, lol, a tad disappointed he's not that bad after all. haha. sometimes i do think i have a bit of a competitive streak in me :S but then again, i'm not complaining, I'm proud of the fact that he's near perfect.

after ice skating, he told me we were going for a show......think he meant it to be a surprise, but he accidentally let slip that we were watching a show...and i kinda knew what show he meant due to some hiccups the night before. (i'd sorta found out that there was a play being put up by the medical students on the day which we had agreed to celebrate my birthday. and that some of his friends were involved in the play.)

however, he'd seem to want it to be a surprise so i pretended i didn't know anything and went along with the flow. didn't want to ruin his efforts to surprise me. but i eventually admitted that i already knew of it the night before.

anyway, the play was about a typical medical student's life and it was pretty funny. though there was quite a bit of inside jokes and some medical jargons which was beyond me. required a bit of explanation cause i did not really understand some parts. but it was still refreshing and i guess it brought me a little closer to what he's going through in school. (being from a completely different field from him, sometimes i do feel like there's a lot of things i don't really understand but i guess i'm learning more each day?)

the highlight of the day was at the very end when we returned back to his place. he'd lined his rooftop with candles and decorated the rooftop with balloons and a "Happy Birthday" banner. it was in short the most romantic thing anyone has done for me and i was really touched by his efforts. i know a lot of work went to doing up the banner, collecting the cake, cleaning up the rooftop, the mat, etc etc.

thank you for going the extra mile for me. ♥

the cake from pattissier was incredibly good. it was a meringue sponge cake filled with a burst of flavor from the passion fruit mousse, fresh mangoes and fresh strawberries. *licks lips* absolutely delectable.

loved the candles :) so pretty~

the birthday banner :)

multi-coloured balloons! truth be told, though i used complain that flowers and balloons are frivolous things that guys should not spend money on, it puts a smile on my face whenever i receive them.

i think all girls either love/secretly love receiving flowers/balloons/bears from their bfs.
