Valentine's Dinner

In the evening, Glenn came over to my workplace to fetch me so I tried to rush my work in order to leave on time. He did all the planning on where to eat and didn't even want me to set the venue in my iPhone's Google map to direct him to the eating place though his GPS couldn't find the place. I could tell that he really wanted me to enjoy the whole night. We dine at Frienzie Bar & Bistro. Initially we intended to take a walk along the Punggol River, but it started to drizzle when we were done with dinner so we dropped the plan and headed to Glenn's house straight to fetch Cody back to camp. Since we were early to fetch Cody, we waiting in the car at the highest level of a multi-storey car park near his house, laid our seats back and viewed the night sky through the moon-roof. It was beautiful, peaceful and as if the moments and space belong to just both of us. That was the only time I find the moon-roof being so useful. Time flies, it was soon time to fetch Cody and head back home.

That night I thought it would be wasteful to just put the roses into the fridge, like I always do every year and throw away when my mom complains, so I thought it might be good if I arrange them in a vase. I asked for a vase from my dad and read online on how to keep flowers fresh for a longer time. I followed as much as possible- trimmed the bottom of the stems at an angle to let them take up as much water as possible, used warm water for better absorption and add a bit of bleach into the water to keep the water from getting cloudy and inhibit the growth of bacteria. Now the flowers are placed on the coffee table to brighten up my living room. :))
