Since Valentine’s Day fell on a Monday this year, J and I decided to celebrate on Saturday. With kids, schooling, Loki etc. it’s just easier.
Early
LaLaport is yet another behemoth of a Malaysian shopping mall built on what was Pudu Jail (I do not have plans on going or staying there after dark ๐ Lord forbid I should see hanging corpses like in Sixth Sense).
We packed them off to their grandparents for a sleepover and headed to LaLaport before dining at Skillet at 163.
If nothing, we can be proud of the architectural beauties we have in Malaysia. It’s obvious we don’t have the population or spending power to justify so many of these new shopping malls. Yet, Lalaport is gorgeous.
We got some bits and bobs at Nitori, the so-called Japanese Ikea. Nitori’s electronic and sleep sections really remind me of Harvey Norman, and the household section had many Ikea reminiscent items but it really doesn’t deserve to be called the Japanese Ikea. ๐
Definitely returning to visit Rollerwa and Coo & Riku with the kids. I took Felix and Alexis to Rollerwa in 1U and they absolutely loved it and have been asking to go again.

We also spotted a cotton candy stall that sells huge ones shaped like giant Hello Kitty heads or unicorns, and I just need to fulfil that dream for Alexis (read:me). Haha.
Our meal was lovely. Can’t go wrong with foie gras, wagyu and champagne. Haha.

What went very wrong were pictures of me in my full Ursula glory. I very much need to lose weight. As opposed to being in a mental state where my weight doesn’t matter to me, I want to be in a physical state where my weight doesn’t matter to me. I want to be in photos with Jason and the kids without my dramatic “Woe is me, I’m fat” breakdowns.
Actual
Valentine’s Day was in fact a bloody affair thus the blog title. Unbeknownst to us, Alexis was allergic to her temporary studs. Both her ear piercings got infected after a week of wearing. There was pus, dried blood, and when I tried to clean the piercings last night, there was screaming, crying. Bad mom guilt struck hard again.
We took her to the doctor for peace of mind. She got antibiotics, a good cream, and meds for the pain and itch. Hope it will all be over soon without her losing the piercings.
