CNY gathering - Secondary schoolmates

Seven girls (included chinx2's sister although she is not in the photos) turned up a gathering at Queesbay Mall. Before gathering, CChing, Joox2 and I gathered at Chinx2's house to collect ang pao from her mother. =P After that, we met up Shih Shiew and E4 at QB for lunch. Last year we had our lunch at Sushi King. Guess where we had our lunch this year? McD nia la...-_-''

Before movie "CJ7":

I'm not able to meet Shih Shiew in Sg usually, but we did it in Pg... ;P

I took a flight back to Sg after gathering. The next morning, I collected 3 ang paos from my house owner, my company and my boss... ^_^

CNY gathering - Ex colleagues

I went for a gathering with my ex-colleagues at Pastamania, Gurney Plaza. There has plenty kind of pizzas and pasta, and I made a choice on 7 inches Four Season Pizza. WHan ordered a plate of pasta. Looks delicious. I was not able to take picture of Tiramisu which ordered by Sim and TS becuase they have nearly finished it when I reached our table.-_-''' Anyway the tiramisu really tastes good.



In my mind, I always remember that there is a sweet story about Tiramisu, but I never try to find the story out. Since today I have tasted the soft and sweet tiramisu with my friends, of course curious and want to know more about this.

Story of Tiramisu:

There is some debate regarding the history of tiramisu. Some believe it was actually first created during the First World War. Women in northern Italy made these desserts for the men to take with them as they were being sent off to war. Presumably to remind them of their love together; as the bitter-sweet taste of the dessert alludes to the perplexing feeling of love itself. Or more practically, they might have believed the high caffeine and energy content of these desserts will give their men more energy to fight and help bring them home safely.

Yet another story regarding tiramisu dates back even further. It is said that during the Renaissance periods, Venetian women made these to be shared with their men during the late hours because they believed it would give them the energy to make more vigorous love later.

Whatever the case may be with this romantic “pick me up” dessert, its ties to love are definitely unmistakable upon your first bite.

Me, Sim, TS, and WHan(lucky guy -> surrounded by pretty girls) =P

After chit-chat, we headed for a movie "Kung Fu Dunk". Honestly, I never have great impression towards Jay Chou before watch this movie. He is famous in singing, but not an actor in previous movies. Amazingly, I like this movie. He still acts with 'gong gong' face, but cute. :">
