We had a gathering co-organised by James and I to meet up with Huaian who came back to Singapore during his school vacation yesterday. I was extremely surprised when these adorable fruit tarts with smiley faces popped out in front of me as an early birthday celebration. Who doesn’t love these freshly home-baked low sugar fruit tarts with love from Jess? Honestly, I’m so touched they took the effort to “secretly” planned everything and Jess’s effort for waking up at 9 in the morning to bake the tarts. I feel loved! 
I didn’t suspect anything even when Jess kept walking around and sneaking behind James. I thought she was asking him to show her where’s the washroom. I thought that was odd though. 
They taste as good as they looked which reminds me I should get the recipe from Jess and try this at home sometime. The custard tastes heavenly!
We dropped by Mind’s Cafe and found a new game which was really fun! True colours is a game where players attempt to best anticipate how others perceive them. Each round consists of several private ballot votes on who best fits a particular question. Once votes are entered players guess at the number of votes they received for that particular question. The better your estimate the more points you make and the winner being the player who best understands how others see the player. I ended up as the one with the lowest point. 
Hopefully James will get this for his board games rental site! It’s really fun and entertaining playing with people whom you know.

8th December marks the day Amour Chaleur turns one and today is the big day! This is actually the first time I’m “celebrating” the birthday of my website or even remember the date the site was started mainly because Amour Chaleur is my first domain. My previous websites, Confession and Liberta were hosted via subdomains. I seriously cannot remember why I wanted my own domain back in December 2008. Is it because I miss blogging? Well, maybe.
To cut it short, this day is extremely significant as Amour Chaleur is a totally new beginning for me. It brings me to where I am today. I started drawing illustration because of this site and it’s been a year since I’m blogging again. I hope I wouldn’t play the MIA game again in the future and let me present Bim Bim celebrating with his huge cake. I hope he grows taller so he doesn’t need the chair next year.
