Hello

I am still quite sickly today and wanted to lay down, but surprisingly, had a very productive work day! - and now before I go sleep, I’m going to write this post. I’m actually quite glum today but writing a post always makes me feel a little better

Yesterday, I woke up and went about hiding in my room, when my manz came over with Valentine’s flowers! I was so surprised! It’s actually the first flowers I ever got for the holiday, and means quite a lot to me To be honest, I have really mixed feelings about commercialisation of holiday events, and typically dislike it a lot, but… it was really nice to be thought of even during a time where it’s annoyingly expensive to buy flowers

I bought my manz some chocolate too but I didn’t expect him to give me flowers so early so I had to pick up the chocolate from my mailbox where they were hangin’ for a day or so Thankfully I forgot my medication lol so we had to go pick it up, and I could pick up the chocolate

Ahh, since I was still quite sickly yesterday, I didn’t really want to get dressed But I just went with this easy sweater / skirt / boots combo (looks quite similar to the day before’s outfit, hehe) which was super comfy

It’s nice since it’s not too hot yet not too cold during the day now, so I can wear these tops without needing a jacket

For our early Valentine’s celebrations, we decided to try the hyped Nep Cafe Hehe… I was supposed to make a reservation, but forgot for many days in a row, and finally my manz made one day-of (lol). Though, since it was a random weekend then I don’t think it was going to have issues being full

We ordered the seafood ceviche appetizer, and I got the matcha cloud latte after asking for a recommended matcha drink out of their several. The waitress said this one is for matcha lovers, so I ordered it And it’s very tasty!

The ceviche was also super yummy and had great flavour! I think my manz liked it so much, he basically ate it all lol (I ate 3 pieces because I am slow) It comes with shrimp chips and you can ask for more, complimentery

Their non-meat/non-dairy offerings are quite slim, so I ordered this lemongrass tofu dish (comes with sticky rice). It was super flavourful and filling! I really enjoyed eating it

Overall, I think the portions are quite small but the food is rich and very filling. However… I don’t know if it’s related, but my manz got super bad food poisoning (?) later LOL… we’re not sure if it was due to the egg coffee he ordered (he said it was delicious, though) or the ceviche (doubtful because I also had some, but I barely ate it) Anyway, he had quite the time before finally becoming jolly and well again around 10pm, from then which he immediately started cooking a late dinner

I asked if he would consider going again, and he said yes, but probably not order the egg coffee After all, the food itself was really tasty!

The flowers opened up a bit more later in the day

We watched a bit more of Severance (or rather, my manz did, while I dozed off) - which I’ve only seen snippets of (again, due to my dozing off). I love the intro to it, my favourite is the balloon mans If you have not seen the intro please take a look because it brings great joy!

Oh, this is unrelated to our festivities, but I did not capture this photo of A’s Levain cookies he got for us from the day before - but here it is in its full cookie appearance!
