Well, whenever there’s an entry, something significant must have happened. This time round, the date to note is 31 Jan 2015.

“180306 My First Love . My Only Darling 310110” This is the message etched onto our champagne gold rings which we wear day in, day out.

For the past 5 years, we have been spending this anniversary with each other, but this year is different as we have a bundle of joy in our midst to celebrate together with us!

We went back to where it all began, Shangri-la Hotel with the dreamy Waterfall Terrace and the pond full of colourful Koi. The place where we held our ROM reception has been converted into a Cafe called The Waterfall but the charm of the place and the memories of us walking down the terraces to friends shouting and throwing rose petals is still fresh in my mind. We had high tea with Cutie at The Rose Veranda, sipping TWG tea and having nibbles of the buffet line. Cutie is having an infant high tea buffet of her own too, mainly having bites off slices of fruits.

Happy Wedding Anniversary!

“Wow, a family protrait that looks nice for once!!!” — Darling exclaimed

Cutie had a new bathing indulgence as introduced by Darling… …a Literal Milk Bath! And we are using Real Milk….Breast Milk! Hahaha yeah! So No fear of Cutie drinking her bath-tub water already, since it’s breast milk anyway. Ever since Cutie refused to drink the frozen expressed breast milk, they are left in our freezer, taking up precious space for our ice-creams…haha, so what better way to use them but to use them for Milk Shower! Maciam Empress Dowager, we have Mini-Princess Charlotte enjoying her Breast Milk Bath. Priceless smile…

The last 3 weeks has been a culinary roadtrip for us. First we went to Rose Veranda for our Anniversary high-tea, 1 week before our actual anniversary, then 1 week later, we visited the Botanical Gardens where we had brunch at Food For Thought. The botanical gardens is also another memorable place for us since it is where Darling received her first bouquet of 99 roses from me, back at the day when Au Jardin was still open for business. Food for thought is quite a child friendly place with their own in-house playground, complete with a slide. It’s spacious to accomodate strollers and baby chairs inside and food is not too bad. Parking is a breeze as the carpark is just outside the restaurant. After brunch, we had a stroll inside Botanical Gardens, exposing Cutie to the many big trees and green leaves and colourful blooms along the way. Weather was hot though and Cutie fell asleep quite fast in her stroller. Haha, in the end, it’s only darling and me enjoying the scenery, pushing Cutie in the stroller. According to darling, THIS is the image of a blissful life! Husband and Wife, pushing a baby pram with a sleeping baby inside, strolling through the park….if only the weather is more cooling…

Cutie loves to crawl around now and she is standing up more easily too. She can walk really fast forward holding on to our fingers. Of course she don’t know what is fear…haha venturing forth to every corner of the house. She will also attempt to squeeze into any holes (under chairs, tables, TV consoles). Cutie even managed to find a way to climb out of her teak chair! (Which I congratulated her for… Haha, I think it takes creativity and imagination to maneuver her way out of the chair and she deserves the credit!).

Go Forth My Cutie! Have no fear! But please do it in our presence lah!

Next up are some cute pics that we took along the way with Cutie and there’s a cute faceoff between Cutie and Joshua!

Can’t wait to have a family hug with my darling and Cutie later!

1 year on and I still love you!

Today is the 1st year anniversary of our marriage! A year has passed and many things have happened within this 1 year. Some stay the same but some changed for the better.
1) We have both grown 1 year older (but this time we both aged a year together as man and wife)
2) Darling completed her double slam of the nursing degree and her advanced diploma in intensive care
3) We still quarrel at times but made up everytime
4) We still go out and enjoy good food together
5) Darling still poses as my model for my photoshoots
6) Darling has tried really hard to control her temper (Thank you Darling!)
7) I have tried to minimize my silly mistakes… tried to be less selfish (but still failed terribly, sorry darling, but I will try)
8 ) We still enjoy looking at our ROM photos and Venus Photoshoot pictures.
9) We still laughed at the silly videos we shot during our mini-honeymoon at Bali last year
10) We still loved each other deep down in our hearts and cannot live without each other.

We had our anniversary dinner at Little Bali in Gillmore village on 29 Jan 2011 as the evil ward sister declined darling’s request for morning shift on 31 Jan 2011. Well, at least she gave darling a morning shift so we can celebrate our ROM anniversary in advance, so I must be grateful… … Evil Ward Sister… ….
Ok, I was searching through the Net for suitable places to dine in when this Villa Bali came into the picture. We have thought of holding our ROM there previously but somehow the theme don’t match so have to give it a go.
We went for our Mini-Honeymoon in Bali so I thought of recreating the Bali experience with our own Balinese hut, having a Balinese BBQ dinner together under candlelight and surrounded by lush greenery.
The sky cried with joy? It has never stopped raining since the start of the day, and it continued to rain even when we reached Villa Bali. Maybe Heaven is giving us the romantic ambience? Heehee.
The whole area is really secluded and gave us a feel of being away from it all, entering into a world of our own. Tea candles led us to our very own Lesehan. There is even a heart shaped decoration at the entrance to our Lesehan.

We decided to play around, take some pictures before ordering the food, take a look at our Lesehan!

Next we were served with our welcome drink. We both chose the alcoholic cocktail “Bali Cooler”, surprising cooling and not much alcohol taste.

We can’t wait for our dinner! We are both famished!!
While the kitchen is busy with our orders, I kept darling busy with video footages from our ROM in Shangri-la Waterfall Terrace! Haha, uploaded into my iPhone of course! The wonderful iPhone….how can I do without it?

interim entertainment before food arrives...scenes from our ROM

Another scene for memories, Ring Exchange I think...Can u make it out?

Ok, food finally here!!

stuffed chicken wings

We also had the Thai Fish cake but no pictures here… …

After the appetiter come the soup. Darling ordered a Tom Yam soup while I ordered a Soto Ayam soup.
The Tom Yam soup was shiok but the Soto Ayam as “so-so” only lah.

What’s next after soup??? Hmm….let me think… Salad!
Yup, we ordered the Thai Mango Salad and the Pomelo Salad, check it out!

After the sour and sweet and spicy salad, our appetites are tickled! “Gu-Chi, Gu-Chi” Loz, lame…..

Time for some fooling around before our main dishes arrive!!

We can get quite drunk with champagne….haha we cannot walk straight after drinking a few glasses….

Darling pours the champagne...wasted that there's no glass tower

Yam Seng!

Semi-Drunk Darling

Semi-Drunk Dar Dar

Can you make out the heart shape?

Semi-Drunk Darling started playing with the rose…..peeling off the petals 1 by 1……”Dar Dar love me…Dar Dar love me not….Dar Dar love me….”

Darling asking the rose if I love her, Lucky it said that I do!

Dessert came shortly but we are both full from the dishes before and bloated from our amateur drinking of champagne..haha

Our dessert Pisang pepe

We made our way back at 12+ AM. Since it was raining, we had difficulty calling for a cab. Very Kua-Zhang leh, I was put on call waiting for the longest time! We grew impatient as darling still have to work the next day. So we walked out to the main road, under the same umbrella. Well, the cab along the streets were not as hard to find leh, we managed to find 1 within 10 minutes! Maybe the taxi driver saw Darling cute and sweet!

We arrived home late that night… but truly enjoyable!

I hope I gave Darling a memorable first ROM anniversary.

I love you Darling!

Sleep liao lo Lover babies

Happy 4 years 10 months Anniversary!!

It is our 4 years 10 months anniversary together today!!
This time round, there is no cake and no fancyful dinner, just the 2 of us spending quality time together =)

We went for our long awaited jog after a long rest period (the last time we ran was on 3 Jan 2011! OMG!). We are going to train hard for our first 10 km!
Check out our progress! Hope we can run faster each time and hope we can conquer new areas together.

Our running route

Distance covered

Our average timing

We had delicious “Gong Bao” frogs with piping hot porridge for dinner and did a tour of the festive market at Chinatown! =)
It is an anniversary well spent as we can have time to ourselves, holding hands and bracing the crowd at Chinatown together! Haha.

I love you darling! =x

My One Love, My Darling

Universal studios day

Hey fellow bloggers! Today is a day that should be recorded down in my history book! Why why why???
1) Darling and me are going to universal studios Singapore!! Been waiting damn long for this day to come lo 😉
2) I’m writing this entire entry using my iPhone! This little white device is truly amazing, u can do practically everything on this phone!

Shall blog about universal studios after we come back… If I survive the battlestar galalactica that is… … Now I’m making my way to my darling’s place… How I miss her…

We got our new babies!

We got ourselves our very first Iphone! Darling is very apprehensive about MACs, scared she may not get used to the different operating systems and stuff, but she so totally love the Iphone! Haha.
The whole buying thing happened quite fast…I also dunno what gave us the impertus to buy an Iphone…Hmm…maybe darling can shed some light? I am so totally senile and have short term memory…
Darling was shopping around and we were walking into a singtel shop where we can try out phones. Well, we tried out the Iphone and found it so fun to slide here and there on the Iphone touchscreen, so we wanted to change it when our current plan is 1 year old. Then when we happened to ask the counter staff regarding our current phone, we are so surprised that we are actually eligible to upgrade our phone as we just passed our 1 year contract! Lolz, shioking! And our E71 is even entited to a S$200 trade in value! How cool is that! We traded in our phones to a new white Iphone and the rest is history.
We are still very new Iphone users and trying to figure out Itunes but we are definitely having more fun with our phones!
Okay….now to go download more applications liao…
