There has always been much controversy about Valentine's Day every single year without fail. I have to agree that it's totally not worth it to pay twice of what one usually pays, dining at restaurants on such a day. I'll rather dine at somewhere else cheaper and return to those restaurants and pay for the food at normal prices. That meant for more cooking practices in the kitchen! Plenty of passion for cooking, minimal skills :/ Gifts wise has got to be depending on individuals.
Generally speaking, I wonder if guys view V Day similarly as girls do. It does not necessary calls for a lavish celebration but IMHO, effort is the word. It can be as simple as taking the initiative to find a suitable place for a simple dinner together or spending some time together amidst his/her busy schedule from school/work. Gifts are secondary. I'm very certain there're guys who disregard V Day and does not find anything special about this whole 14th Feb crap. It's probably just a Tuesday to them. Or perhaps it's just me!
It's on such days that we do something different and think out of the box, we need such occasions to spice up our life isn't it? It will be boring to spend 365 days without any occasions.
V Day for Hbm & I was a simple affair. It's the time with you that I need most, and you know it.
No matter how cliche it may sound, it's still sweet to receive something and I swear I'll be glad with a stalk. It's the thought that counts! Can't imagine how many poor guys got their carrot heads cut. Heart aches seeing something that costs so much withers in days. It's like putting $100 on the table and it miraculously disappears after a few days.
Have heard about the Titanic Exhibition @ MBS's Art Science Museum so that we are!

It's a pity that photography isn't allowed and I tried to act smart by attempting to avoid getting caught but still, failed after this picture -_-
There's no way I'm going to pay $35 for the 3 photos taken inside as much as I would love to bring them home. Sigh!
Now, look at that. Most luxurious suite in Titanic cost a whopping $103k in present value. Wow.
'Building' my own 'lifeboat'!
Be sure to make a trip down to the museum to take a look. Definitely worth your time and the $20 admission fee!

Headed for our buffet dinner next, Todai @ MBS as planned by Hbm.
Overall verdict for the buffet dinner: Quantity - 8/10, Quality - 5/10.
No doubt I was really spoilt for choices; There were plenty of cuisines available, from Italian to Japanese to Korean to Chinese and etc. However, most were just of average standard.
The snow crabs and desserts were the only few that I went for more than once.
And this was when I miss the sumptuous buffet dinner I've had at 10 @ Claymore (during my birthday) so much more. And it was cheaper too!
I was told that I'm always giving the same photocopied smile so, okay lor, something different!
At least some decent desserts to go with after the average mains!
On self timer mode :P
Totally bill came up to about $130 for 2 (and waiver of parking charges with payment via UOB cards). Not as pricey as compared to dinner at places like Triple 3, The Line and etc. It's still an option to go for if you're looking for a buffet dinner with a wide variety of dishes.

Chilling session outside MBS before we call it a night. Love the picture effect captured by my lao pok Lumix LX3!
Self shots on iPhone explained the poor resolutions :O
Strawberry Jelly Cheesecake for Hbm, after 2 attempts! Can you believe I actually spilled the liquid cheese mixture all over my freezer and I had to re-do everything. Oh my horror. Kitchen was messed up like it was being invaded by tornado. Thankful for the end success! :)
