according to this study by the journal of personality and social psychology, two thirds of men said i love you to their female partners first, often a full 6 weeks before her reciprocal.
but beware his intentions, as dr. laura berman mentions,
“…[the man] offers intimacy because he wants sex, and she offers sex because she wants intimacy… Men often require sex to feel intimate with their partner, while women require just the opposite.”

10/05: dinner with 亲爱的 at AMK hub MOF while shopping for LP's present. haven't eaten tomato pasta for a long time already and i must admit my salmon avocado tasted great! her tuna salad and sandwich was pretty normal. the bread had a faint hint of coffee. ice macha was below expectations.
11/05: 1-for-1 pasta at nex swensens with SSD. my crayfish pasta was not too bad, but SSD's black pepper seafood pasta was kinda weird. he likes it though. got another mushroom pizza to share. full of yummy cheese and pasta!
12/05: restaurant introduced by SSD. my fish-and-chips were pretty normal, so is SSD's seafood pasta. and the fries. lol. but i love the mushroom soup! reminds me of manhattan's. ^^
14/05: SSD gave us a treat at seafood international. we got the set for 6 pax but it wasn't even enough for 5 of us! so we got an additional seafood fried rice. there were weird dishes like the flaming prawns, which the 'cook' cooked it in front of us. and the salt-baked fish. with the eggplant and super spicy sauces. weird but tasty! but i love the scallops most! yums! :D
hope my allergy reaction doesn't come back. *cross fingers* with so much good food, HOW NOT TO GET FAT YOU TELL ME!?!

nice song. even though i'm not a fan of 刘德华.

the hot weather plus headache plus cramp left me in a horribly moody mood the whole day. headed out for dinner without a proper destination: planning fail. we ended up at this seafood restaurant in the middle of nowhere.
number 1 fail - parking space was small and cramped, so we just parked at the side. number 2 fail - horrible service attitude. i do not appreciate being shouted at. nor sitting under the sun. number 3 fail - they only have dinner sets today. when we asked if we could order something else... "不可以! 我刚才都说了，只有套餐!" polite much?
number 4 fail - pickled veggies, chilli, ice box..all left in the open with flies buzzing around them. for the first time, i felt disgusted enough to actually clean the plates and bowls etc before using. we left the pickled veggies untouched because we saw something flying out of it. only to realize that small dish costs $2. -_- number 5 fail - the food.
fried onions or fried sotong? you decide. my mum commented to the waitress about the lack of sotong, and she replied with a "hrm." how polite.
we ordered the set meal for 4-6 pax. does this plate of veggies look like it was enough for 6 people?
this was probably the most edible dish - lobster porridge. oh i certainly enjoyed the as-big-as-prawns lobsters and watery porridge. so nice! *sarcasm* but i shall be fair and say that the 'soup' wasn't too bad.
this is classic. fried chicken bones. oh look, they left some meat for us. how thoughtful of them!
there was another steamed fish dish that i forgot to take a photo of. so it's up to you to believe. it was barely warm, and i think the poor fish was on a strict diet. even skinnier than SSD. -_-
and last dish, hello tomato-sauce crab! bland, not spicy, no chilli-crab taste at all. have never tasted crab this horribly un-fresh. need i say more?
number 6 fail - the price. the crab was additional order, and apparently they forgot to count it in. SERVE THEM RIGHT! but it also meant that the rest of the 5 dishes cost $168. add the drinks and gst/service charge (for such poor service?), it was $195.
do you think it was worth? if you think it is, read this: lunch for 6.5 pax yesterday at the jap restaurant, with all the fresh sashimi and stuff, costs $160.
MAD R-I-P O-F-F!! do yourself a favor and avoid this place.
