Awww...can you smell *Sniff! Sniff!*
it? Love is in the air again! The current global economy melt down
certainly didn't obstruct cupids from doing their part of jobs right?
At least not in my hometown Kota Kinabalu. Couples and singles alike came
out full force today to
celebrate the eventful 14th February! In fact, me myself and of course my other better half started the day with movies and pop corn. We sure had a great time. God, on the way to
the cinema the road was literally filled up!
The traffic was so darn heavy; bumper-to-bumper crawls can be seen
almost everywhere. Thank goodness, we could weaved past those
nightmarish jam!
Like Malaysian politics these days,
mention Valentine’s Day and suddenly everyone has an opinion. Frankly speaking, we do not celebrate Valentine's Day like this every year. Now why did I say so? Because we (at least me and my better half) believe that Valentine's Day or Lover's Day is everyday. So on 14 February 2009, we didn’t
celebrate Valentine’s Day, not because we were in denial, but because
it happened to be a weekend and we were looking for an excuse to get
sloshed. Besides, my dear cousin Betty
throws the most amazing party!
I think we ate everything that she
served. There were
sausage rolls, a chicken and mushroom pie, assorted cheeses, roasted ribeye and yorkshire
pudding, assorted gourmet sausages, roast duck pasta,
wasabi mash, truffle mash, and a garden salad with pear, walnut and
quails eggs. One word describes it best: sublime.
After all, words cannot do
justice for the delicious food, so lovingly prepared by cousin, for a
party of twenty. Yes, it is for ten couples.
She baked two cakes and a bit. One, a
very popular Mint Chocolate Mousse Cake with Lindt chocolate, a cake
that will be spoken about for generations to come, and the other, a
delicious heart-shaped Pavlova decorated with peaches and mangoes but
lacking in passion(fruit) thanks to a maid who threw it away, not
realising that a shrivelled fruit didn’t mean it was past its expiry
date. The molten chocolate cupcakes were a surprise addition, but they
received the attention they deserved. Waahhh... I just love Chocolate. Isn't chocolate linked with romance?
Then later at night, the other better half of me did something that if I were to describe in the words of Kylie Minogue, I should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky...
Happy Valentine's Day!
