Birthday with Fishy!

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Okay, I’ve taken a habit to calling my dearest Lafina as Lafishna - and like, the whole school probably knows by now. If you don’t already know - you’re doing something wrong, or that you’re not in the loop. Sorry. *grins evilly at YOU*.

Ok, ok - I was just kidding.

Yes, my birthday will be over in like 15 minutes, if we’re considering Singapore time (GMT +8).. but then again, I can always claim that we’re following some weird country’s time, and we’ll probably have an extended 24 hours for me to bug you for presents celebrating being, having added one more year, yes, that one. Haha. *Looks innocently*

Yes, those are mini-white roses made out of white chocolate… Handcrafted, too!

This, of course, is the birthday cake, lovingly delivered by my dearest other fish - Lafishna. And.. she actually pulled me up to make sure I was awake right in the morning =X Oh yes, if you haven’t already figured out by now, Kelvin has a fetish for close-up macro shots of almost anything.

(PS, if you have a spare macro lens for a Canon Digital SLR - you know, those big cameras which you can swap lens with some cool stuff - feel free to donate them to the Save the Kelvin Foundation. Of course, I’ll be eternally grateful and will shower you with macro pics all day/night/evening long.)

..and just so you could have an overview of the cake - which is, at close - one word: Stunning! White chocolate with cream is alluringly yummy. And it melts in the mouth, too - did I mention that earlier on?

Oh yes, that’s my brother on the left - Kenneth. He’s like in Secondary One - and he already has a chain of girls after him, lah. The last I remembered, all the girls in his handphones had two-letter-acronym names, such as “CL”, “NT”, and stuff like that. But then, the acronyms aren’t the fun parts - the message contents were.

If only.. someone actually read the contents out loud. *grins* - and we’ll know what our fellow secondary school kids were thinking in the kinky sense of things.. we could do a completely scientific, no-nonsense behavioral experiment segregating 13 year old kids from… well, 13.5 years old based on certain.. profiles.

I’m starting to think that perhaps I should keep a subdomain like “HAWT.yandao.com” for my younger brother’s usage - I think he’ll mature faster, and need it MUCH more than me.

Obviously, on the right of the pic - that’s my mum. Please say “hi” to her if you bump into her in some supermarket, food court, or shopping center. She’ll be kind enough to buy you lunch if you say you’re Kelvin’s friend =x

And this, of course, is my dearest Lafishna, by my side, posing while my pack of Cannot-blow-out Candles were on my birthday cake. Apparently these candles give off black powdery stuff - but it’s almost invisible, lah. Yes, you can order them to prank some other friend, too.

She’s a lucky gal, isn’t she? And that, of course, makes me a very lucky guy.

(However leh, I am still lacking in lottery numbers…)

Oh yes, the box. My dearest fish mentioned that some China-locals/students actually asked her on the bus where she bought her “pink handbag” - it was actually the super-huge cake box which of course was curvy all over and VERY very eye-catching.

STOP peeking at the background of the picture, can?

We reached Jumbo Seafood @ Dempsey Road at like, 6.30pm, with a spot lovingly booked by Fish’s mum, and of course, it was one of those seats with an AMAZING ambiance, killer leather seats, and zen-ish tables draped in white cloth.

Seated beside us (both left, and right) - were two groups of people with.. er, alternate lifestyles. On my front was a table with a clearly.. erm, Male Guy-Female Guy relationship couple, and at my back, was a whole table of well-toned metrosexual guys in tight tops, which tended to speak a little TOO.. TEH-ishly. Oh, they called for a manager with the similar profile, too…. I’ve nothing against people with alternate sexual preferences, but, I have 3 questions

  1. 1. Wouldn’t having too many gay couples lead to less “conventional” couples?
  2. 2. Wouldn’t Point #1 mean that there would be more gay female couples, too?
  3. 3. Wouldn’t Point #2 indirectly refer to the fact that…. there’d be less, well, conventional females around?
Seriously, give it some thought. It’s beginning to look like some looping cycle.

That said, if you’re wondering why I snapped grass, it’s because the colour was supposed to be contrasting - but apparently DSLR’s does a better job with such artistic stuff.

We asked for a small lobster, since larger lobsters are generally aggressive, especially when my girlfriend’s nickname is “Fish”. This one’s probably weighs around 600g or so - but alternatively, you could take a bite from it - and we’ll figure out its weight, then.

Yes, we dolled him/her/it up with salad cream before.. consuming. BWAHAHAHA! Lafina went for the lobster meat, and I went for the.. pieces of nata-de-coco inside - and for a few moments there, we were actually wondering if there’s anymore meat in the shell…

Oh yes, upon one of the manager’s recommendation, we actually tried their Lamb BBQ’ed with Honey and Pepper - at $9/piece - and it was actually amazing. Fishy said she had tasted better elsewhere - but honestly, this was the best piece of lamb I’ve ever had - zero “lambish” smell, with SO much juice, and SO much sweetness.

If you can cook a piece lamb chop like this, please drop me a message via MSN, I wanna learn your kung-fu. HAH!

Okay, that picture above’s that of Cereal Prawns - probably needs no introduction to anyone Chinese, but cereal prawns are basically baked/fried prawns draped in (something like those packet 3-in-1) Cereal. It’s crunchy, and… has a tinge of sugar - complimenting the prawn’s soft meat.

I’ll be perfectly honest - after the rest of the dishes came, I dug in VERY, very hungrily, forgetting to take snapshots before taking the first bite - and.. before long, it was sunset!

Whoa, that view from Dempsey Hill’s a KILLER, siah! Look at the dreamy blue sky, and seemingly tall (palm?) trees with all that greenery. WOOOOT! :D

and the time came, whereby we actually snapped pics of ourselves (actually, we wanted to cuddle - but the guys behind us were *already* cuddling - hence we decided to.. just snap).

Isn’t my fish pretty? Really, you can compliment her. HAHA!

Somehow, I always tend to steal the moonlight - even in single shots. HMM! and yes, that’s the lobster in the background - still diligently posing, under the dreamy blue sky. I must really say though, it tasted good!

The bill rang up to around a hundred bucks or so, after dessert, and a huge pot of Xiang Pian Chinese tea, which I probably devoured the most of it… But we only paid sixty-three cents in total for the night’s meal thanks to a voucher which Lafina’s mum dropped us!

and, guess what - Ta dah. That was how I actually spent my birthday - as for the age… Well, I’ll STILL leave you guessing. BWAHAHAH.

Do I look 23 or 25 - Honestly?

Please buy me presents!

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Hey,

It’s my birthday - April 26th!

Please buy me presents, 4D/Toto tickets (or Big Sweep also can), anything with above 50% concentration of sugar, or hugs.

(Edit: My girlfriend, Lafina, states that hugs can only come from her… so, no hugs =X, unless you’re Lalafishna!)

Thanks in advanced - HAHA!

Okay, seriously, if you wanna grab me something - or just a drink - add me at hot_wired13 [at] hotmail.com! :)

OH YES. PLEASE TAKE STABS AND GUESS MY AGE. IT’S A SACRED NUMBER LAH!

Regards,

Kelvin

Woot! Check out who’s that gal/guy next door!

Posted by Kelvin in Everything

Ahhh shut up.

I know that tomorrow’s the first day at school, and only the *very* sharp people out there would actually want to check out the people NEXT DOOR. Yes yes, of course, checking them out would be for.. err.. educational reasons, and truth be told - I wouldn’t care less if it wasn’t. HAHA.

YES, you can now search EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING WOOT WOOT!

RP Photo Database 08/09 Semester 1

Okay, seriously, it isn’t fully PERFECT yet, because I.. well, have been working on some other stuff alongside this - and I need my sleep, or else I’ll wake up drooling. =X

Here’s a list of stuff which will be implemented NEXT:

  • - User account management (yep, you get to manage your own account)
  • - Adding of “nicknames” - you can add what you are often called, so people can search for you using your nickname
  • - Changing of display pictures..er, I mean, profile pictures.
  • - Multiple photos! - for all you camwhores/cam-male-whores (whatever the word for that is)
  • - Proper menu bar (yes, I know, this ought to be here, but I’m sleepy tonight - alright?)

Hey, tell you what - let me know what you WANNA see, and I’ll add it. Alright?
