OK I'm updating my blog after a week. Haha. I wanted to update about our orphanage trip, but Jay and Lin Cze wrote about it already and they posted every picture we took there. So, you can just go read their blogs. Haha. Yes, I know, I'm lazy. XD
The day we visited the orphanage also happened to be my parents' anniversary. In fact, it was their 20th anniversary.
So, being the good children (no wait, I'm bad boy, a bad bad boy....) bad but thoughtful children that we are, me and Mr Gary Tan decided to hold a fine dining dinner for our parents in our dining room. Romantic no??

We bought the stuff needed on Wednesday. On Thursday night, after my mum took my cousins out (they came over for a week) and my dad went to work, we started our preparations. The maid technically cooked all the food. But we told them what the instructions on the cook books meant. So we played a part too. :)
Haha. My bro designed the menus and we made them in slightly under an hour. After that, he set up the dining table while I started making the desserts. Oh, my maid didn't make the desserts, I did. Wahahahahahaha!

So we set up everything nicely and started decorating the appetizers when my parents came home. I was the waiter. LMAO. Haha, I got them to sit down, and pop a bottle of champagne for them. Ahahahaha. Then, my bro brought out the appetizers: Buttered prawns with floss.
After that, they had their main course: Pork chops with mash potato. Ok, it sounds quite cheap, but it looked quite high class. And it tasted quite good too. I should know; I did the food-testing. :P
Then, they had their dessert. I made them a peach gallete, but it was still baking at that time. So, we gave them brownies with vanilla ice cream first. After their brownies, they had my peach galette :). Hope it tasted nice.
After that, dinner was officially over and we went back to talking and acting informally. Ahahahahaha.
I guess it turned out alright. My parents thought it was well-planned out. Haha. Woohoo!
Here's to 20 years of marriage!
