Valentines Day
Aloha! The time of the year has come again
*deng deng deng deng*
Time to whip out that sweet pink lipstick, babypink dress and that oh-so-lovely perfume. And guys? Well.. your best fitted shirt, that heirloom-worthy watch your dad passed to you and of course, (please don't forget) your best smelling perfume & LOTS OF CASH ><
Nah im just kidding! Valentines Day doesn't necessarily involve much money.
No doubt the whole Singapore will be covered in red, pinks, hearts and happy atmosphere tomorrow, i'm sure most guys should be dying somewhere... their pockets!
To me, Valentines day is not only a special day to spend it with your other half, but also for the single ones out there, a day to spend it with your girlfriends/guy friends/family!
I've never believed in spending the money to go for expensive jacked up priced meals on valentines, nor expect to receive a bouquet of 3 roses that cost up to $100+. I mean.. practicality!
The market sells 3 stalks of roses for less than $10 on normal days, so why spend 10 times more?!
But having said that, I know my boyfriend is someone very guilty of that - a victim of all that marketing. Hahaha!
I know he just wants to pamper me and make me happy but honestly, I cant care less about it! Just dont understand why guys don't see it.
Hahah I told him I'd rather he spent the $100 on food or on a gift and It'll make me even happier because at least I know that he's not spending all that money on something that wont even last 3 days.
Let's see what he does tmr... hehehehe *fingers crossed*
Hello darlings!
I have decided to split the CNY blog post and these up as I figured it'd be too lengthy and too much to take. Really sorry I haven't been blogging as much because i've been really busy lately.
Follow my Instagram @mongabong or ask me questions on my Formspring cause those are the two sites I update everyday :)
So as most of you guys have known/seen/heard.. My Babygirl Sarie has left for Perth a few days ago to further her studies.
I love you so much sarieberrie, if you're reading this. Take care and know that the girls will always always be here for you. Don't hesitate to FaceTime/oovoo us whenever :)
Cried a waterfall that night. No wait, understatement.
Cried a "Niagara Falls" LOL.
This was a bad move cause I woke up with really small and puffy eyes the next day. AKA Valentines day :(
I couldn't even put on eye make up that day cause my eyes kept tearing. Sighpie.
Don't wanna let you go!!!! :(
Always a foursome, nothing less!
XOXO
Moving onto.. VALENTINES' DAY!!!!
This was me holding the bunch of 21 roses my OCSP team stayed up to make.
Super pretty!
All the roses we packed that day for the roses collection
My first two roses from my buddies :)
My favourite blue roses! Really surprised Matt got them for me for Valentine's.
Really super dream-like and super happy!!!!
Dinner @ Dozo restaurant
Super pretty card he made.
LOL super amazed by how guys can be better at art&crafts than us. Hahaha
Disclaimer: "Baby Chin" is an inside joke LOL. To those that have been asking.
Was a happy girl that night, with all the roses and balloons!
Really grateful for all the love and gifts that day xx
Next, moving on to food. Hold your horses..
Yumyum! I would say the food was not bad and it's gotta be the most-filling fine dining meal i've had.
7-course meal, no joke! We could barely walk after. Heh
Headed for a few glasses of wine after at Brewerkz @ Kallang
What's Vday without some cam-whoring? Hehe
My entire instagram timeline was flooded with lovey-dovey pictures that day! Enjoyed seeing how cute some couples were.
So happy :)
Thank you for making my Valentine's Day this year a special one
Hope all of you guys had a great valentines too!
xoxo

Time, I need time. Trying to fit everyone and everything into my crazy schedule is really not easy.
But thank goodness I've been coping with the help of a few special someones and I am so grateful to their presence in my life.
Remember, everything happens for a reason.
Even the ones that scarred, the ones that hurt you were there for a reason.
They were there to remind you that you deserve so so much better, and i'm glad i'm starting to find my own definition of "better" now.
Having these few special someones just makes going through each day so much more bearable.
Thank you daddy God for you, and you.
xoxo,
Monggy
