Our simple anniversary celebration

A simple salad, sandwich and soup complete with flowers is how we celebrated our 4 years 6 months together. This is also our 3rd ROM anniversary. We do not need a fanciful meal at a restaurant to remind us how blessed we are to have each other... :p

Sweet birthday surprise

My sister planned a birthday surprise for me this year and it was a success! Cos I did not have the faintest idea until I saw them at my place. Of course this was made possible with a good accomplice: JQ. JQ and I were out till about 9+ on my birthday. When we reached home, I saw him opening the shoe cabinet with the intention of keeping his shoes, BUT he took out his shoes and left it on the floor. I asked him what he's doing, and he said he wanted to air his shoes. DUH! I did not suspect that there was no space to put his own shoes. Next, I was babbling nonense to him in the kitchen. Usually, I will head straight to our wardrobe room to change out first and that's where my sis was hiding. So he had to lure me to our wardrobe room from the kitchen, wondering why I did not follow my usual routine this time. And there was my sister hiding in the wardrobe room with a birthday cake. BOY was I shocked. My next question was eh, only you ah? Mom never come? I turned around to see my Mom sneaking up behind me with a sheepish cute look on her face. You really should see her face, she looked like a small cheeky naughty girl so much so that I wanted to pinch her cheeks! So I was really really surprised, and touched this birthday. If you are wondering what happened to my Dad, well, he is just not into this kind of family gatherings. If it's proper dinner with table setting, he will be there. =) Anyone has any ideas how I can get my Dad to be more involved?

Busy June

June has been a really busy period. 2 overseas trip and my birthday month. Went HKG on 5 - 8th of June on a biz trip, and my Mom and sister went along with me. Free accomodation at 5-star hotel, why not right? The photos shown on hotel website was really nice and my sister was so enticed to go. When we checked in though, we were all scratching our head and wondering why the website looks so different. Anyway, this was not the best time to go HKG. Not only was it not the sale's season, it was raining almost EVERYDAY. First day we touched down, it was drizzling, second day pouring, third day black alert, all schools had to close. Lucky we stay in a hotel with immediate access to a big shopping mall. If not, my sis and Mom will be bored to death. There were news of floods at a lot of places whenever we watch the news. Lucky for us, on the last day where I had F&E with them whole day till about 4pm, it was clear weather, so we managed to do some shopping and I even bought 2 Rabeanco leather bags. All 3 of us bought Rabeanco bags this time round. =)

13 - 17 Jun, I went BKK with Junqi. Have not been on a trip for a LOOONNNNGGGG time, so I was really looking forward to this trip. We stayed at Marriott Resort and Spa and really enjoyed our stay there. Service was good, ambience was really good. The location is at Riverside, so in order to get to town area, we had to take a ferry to and fro everyday. Really nice and exclusive. All the goods hotels have this kind of shuttle ferry service at their respective hotels. Shopping was good, I think I did more shopping during this trip than the last 5 years combined. Every night we will go for massage to soothe our legs so as to continue the shopping battle the next day. Every night after all the shopping and walking, on the ferry back to hotel, I have this sizzling feeling in my legs! Food was not good though, tough to find vegetarian food in BKK. Our life saver was MK steamboat. Confirmed, checked and double confirmed that their soup base is soya. So we had steamboat for dinner for consecutive 2 nights. On our last day, I was simply dragging my feet to shop around. No stamina at all! I was on the look out for cafes constantly so that I can rest my feet! I'm getting OLD!

Rice cooker surprise

Last night my darling said he was hungry and insisted I help him to take the food he was steaming from the rice cooker. I refused initially and he started pouting away. So I relented and this is what I saw when I opened the rice cooker...



Tata...my Moniversary present...

Moniversary is what he calls our monthly anniversary. We are celebrating our 45 months together and my present: good as new wedding band!




I have not worn my wedding band since the accident cos it was badly scratched and the ring surface will scratch my face, clothes etc when I wear it. He secretly went to fix our rings and now it looks brand new! I got another proposal again last night! SO SWEET!!! On top of that I got a gold necklace with a gold pendant. Yes, you will ask why GOLD! Well, according to a fortune teller, I have to wear some gold as my life is very "light". I was finding all sorts of excuses not to wear the previous necklace, so between a Coach bag and gold necklace, he bought me a lighter, longer, nicer one, so that I won't have any more excuses. :)

Surprise Dinner

On my way home yesterday, I was starting to feel my stomach growling with an intense desire for food. Was still thinking of cooking porridge when I reach home but knew I cannot make it, so I decided to call hubby and asked him if we should eat out instead. He told me to go home first then we decide. And when I reached home there was dinner all ready!! Nothing fanciful like candlelight dinner, just rice, dumpling soup which was a cute concoction of dumplings, eggs, diced veg cubes (those for fried rice) with instant seasoning and left over curry. But still it was a very very warm meal! Thank you darling dearest! It's really nice when your hubby knocks off much earlier than you. haha. :D

We have ROMed for almost a year!

Can't believe it. We have been married for 11 months! Seriously don't feel like it. Still feels like we are still dating and in that honeymoon stage. Anyway, we celebrated our 11 mths ROM anniversary at Annalakshmi last nite. Had a wonderful spread of yummy Indian cuisine. Btw, they have moved from Excelsior Hotel to Chinatown Point. Had a hard time finding them initially. I still prefer their previous location though, more cosy. Anyhow, the food still tastes damn good. Those interested can check out http://www.annalakshmi.com.sg/.

We got our FLAT

So exciting! After so many viewings, we finally chose a flat that we like! This is the first time I'm making such a huge purchase... $300++K! Most importantly, this puts an end to our search. Now we can focus on more important stuff. Even though we not getting a lot of sea view, it's really windy and we have a good feel of the unit. Even the fengshui master says it's a good unit, suitable for us! So looking forward to getting keys soon and start on a new journey with my darling and staying in our little abode. :p

A different Mid-Autumn Festival

My darling was down with headache due to the haze, said he is going to rest at home first before meeting me. I met my frd for dinner till about 9 plus and called my darling again. He is still having bad headache. :( I was quite disappointed to hear that, cos I have not seen him for 1 whole week and was really looking forward to spending a nice nite with him at East Coast, but again, it will be dangerous for him to ride all the way from Woodlands to East Coast with a pounding headache. :( So I told him to rest at home and will call him when I reach home. When I reach home, I called him to check on him. While chatting, he suddenly said, I have a surprise for you, open the door... I was so surprised to see him standing at the door with chocolate and Ben & Jerry ice cream! In the end we still had a good time at East Coast, despite the haze, despite his headache. He is really the sweetest guy on earth...Love you darling!! You are the BEST! :)

My hubby is out!!

Yippee, my hubby is out today!! HAHA, i make it sound like he just released from jail! keke... He is finally out from reservist. He was stuck in a 4 days out field exercise, meaning I have not seen him for 4 days already... quite long hor... :( so used to seeing him everyday. Anyway, he is out just in time to celebrate mid-autumn festival with me. Typically, we will go to East Coast Park, each carry a lantern in our hands and take a stroll along the beach. We will also play with those fireworks wannabe sparklers and just have a good time chatting with each other. This year should be the same I guess. My colleagues actually commented that this was childish, but well, its the quality time spent together that matters right? :p It takes effort to continue this kind of tradition as well... haha. Anyway, gotta go meet my hubby liao, may everyone have a enjoyable Mid-autumn festival this year. :)

My darling dearest is in RESERVIST!

So sad, my hubby has been called in for RESERVIST and this is one of those high key kind, meaning it will be min 2 weeks! Tis time is prob the longest so far, and the worse thing is he is expecting a lot of night trainings and he will not be able to book out until Sat evening or Sun morning!! I seriously hope something might happen to the system and all night trainings will be cancelled! Mua haha, anybody got any ideas on how to make that happen? :p Never tried not seeing him for so long... so used to seeing him everyday liao.... just 1 or 2 days apart i will start missing him already...:( sigh....

Sweet hubby

Had a surprise when I opened my bag today. There was a packet of yummy chocolate, nice nice cookie and a sweet little note... My sweet hubby packed all these in my bag while I was sleeping...

So sweet of him hor....:P Never fails to surprise me with little things like this...

Love you darling dearest! Muak muak! :p
