the empire of forgotten dreams

His story

He left his house around 11 to travel back to his hometown to have a reunion dinner with his family, which it was in Bentong.

He then settled down, but then grumbled that there wasn't no wifi, typical boy. Played with his cousin Cian, later on went to get some ice cream at some shop and then went to the play ground to have some fun with the younger cousins.

It was then time for dinner, they had meatballs, squids, octopus, meat, vege, mushrooms, tofu and all that good stuff. After dinner, it was his little cousin—Cian's favorite moment, gambling. Won twice but lost the third time. My boyfriend lost every single game till he's broke, I guess it wasn't about the money, it's about the time spent with his family.

Although he's pretty much far away from me, he'd make the effort to ask what I was doing. While he was there, I made something for him as well, hope he likes it.

First day of CNY

My grandma's house was filled with relatives today. Received angpaos of course and we ate steamboat, again. We took some photos here and there as well.

Later today, we went to visit my Yeh Yeh at the columbarium, first time he didn't celebrate New Year with us. He'd normally wake up the earliest, all dressed up in his best outfit and buy tong yuen for his grandkids and wait to give us ang paos, I miss him.

So later in the evening, Sebastian dropped by to visit us. He bought us some stuff and had dinner with us. He had to leave around 8+ since he had a movie to catch.

I'm sleepy and I need to study for my finals ._.

Reunion Dinner—a day before CNY

We made 'tong yuen', it turned out yummy like I've expected. Hm, so it's the day for the reunion dinner where my family came together to have steamboat.

There was beef, salmon, bacon, my favorite straw-like mushroom, pork meatballs and so much more I can't remember. I was pretty much satisfied by the end of the night.

I can already hear the fireworks going off in the night sky. I can't wait for tommorow, more 'angpao's' to collect :)

Mini photo sesh and meetup?

After my piano, I decided to meet up with Seb since he was around my area. I then parked my car under a shed and then he drove me to get my things.

He even got me cheesy wedges.

And as for our little photo shoot, we took pictures by the playground, filled with leaves a big oak tree here and there.

It's times like these I'm really happy that I chose to be with him.

Valentine's Day

I don't usually celebrate the whole Valentine's Day thing but Sebastian decided he's gonna make me feel special, well I guess he makes me special every other day as well but that's because he's good at doing so.

When he picked me up, he actually made an origami little box for me to keep my rings in, he even made a bookmark and wrote a note for me. Such a sucker for love; but then admitted he destroyed about 5 origami sheets attempting to make heart shaped things.

So we headed to Shangri-La for lunch—Arthur's Bar & Grill. I had the tenderloin steak with fat fries and button mushrooms. He had sauté chicken with mash potatoes and his favorite button mushrooms.

I had the entire thing vlogged and obviously took photos. Basically we just spent quality time just talking about nonsense and watched silly videos and just listened to music in the car. It wasn't much but to me, it was meaningful and definitely something to be remembered. Thanks babe, if you're reading this❤️
