5000 days!
Yh reminded me today that we’ve known each other for 5000 days! The number isn’t exact since neither of us can remember the actual first day we met but we’ve assumed it to be 1st Jan 1995 when we started the year at AJC. It’s interesting how we got assigned to the same class 29/95 and somehow along the way in our individual journeys, got together and here we are 5000 days later, happily married and very much in love.
Revisit of National Museum of Singapore
Day 2 of our Anniversary local vacation starts with a jolt as I realised that it is already 9 plus am and I’m still in bed. Dear Hubby had left me in dozeland to sleep a while more while he sat at the desk with his laptop.
We were running a bit late for breakfast which closed at 10.30am, so we were shown to another lounge of Conrad Hotel to enjoy a longer breakfast till 11am. Breakfast spread was OK, not very interesting nor was it bad. We both enjoyed the cheese especially.
It was a last minute decision to pop by the revamped National Museum of Singapore as we have some free time before our massage appointment in the evening. Ever since the Museum was revamped a few years ago, we have not been there, or rather, ever since my Primary school years?
The new Museum is done beautifully and we were impressed by the high-tech gadgets and the amount of work that went into the upgrade of the place, especially the electronic guide for the displays. All you have to do is to press a number and all the background information of the artifact in front of you will appear on the screen of the gadget which they called the Companion.
We initially thought we could just spend 2 hours in the Museum and then go on to Funan Centre to buy a second TV card (hee, so that I can watch one channel and record the other), but then the trip stretch into a 4 hour one before we managed to see all of the place.
Our favourites should be the innovative swinging lamps at level 2 (didn’t get the official name of the thingy), which oscillates in different pattern at different times of the day. How cool is that?
The day was packed almost back-to-back. After depositing our purchases, we went to The Elements Spa at Orchard Hotel for our massages and Mic was so pleased with the skills of the Masseur that he bought a package. I’m not so keen on massages as I can only take the light strokes of massage.
We popped over to California Pizza for dinner and ordered one of their new creations : Tandoori Mango Pizza. Being a pizza-lover himself, I was quite surprised that Mic has never tried California Pizza before, which I found to be quite good. I fell in love with the Peking Duck Pizza some years back. Anyway was glad that Mic liked the place and he gave the pizza his thumbs-up.
We decided to laze the rest of the night away with a sinful tub of Haagen-Dazs Belgium Chocolate ice-cream.
3 years anniversary @ Conrad Centennial Singapore and a dose of Hairspray
Its been a pretty hectic work for Yh and myself as assignments piled up. By a stroke of luck, Yh won a night’s stay at Conrad at her recent annual dinner. It seemed like a good idea to take the opportunity to extend the stay and so we booked ourselves another night and checked in this afternoon.
Our original room on the 13th floor didn’t have the king sized bed we requested and was on the smoking level! Luckily, after a great buffet dinner at Honjin Japanese Restaurant (more details later in Where2Makan?), Yh called room service and found that a room was now available on the 7th floor. We quickly packed up and moved down. Glad the hotel made the effort to help shift us and we’re glad we decided to extend our stay.
Shortly after, we headed to GV Marina Square to catch Hairspray. I didn’t realise but I had read about John Travolta’s transformation in the movie and that it had enjoyed pretty good reviews in the press. Quite liked the muscial styled movie based on a 1988 screenplay and stage play. The music and dancing was very well coordinated. Its pretty interesting that it chose to potray a time in US’s history about the racial divide. I guess the unversal theme of accepting and integrating people from different cultures is something we can still identify with.
Back to hotel and it 2.45am! Time to hit the sack and looking forward to our “tour” of Singapore on this special weekend getaway in town.
Our 30th month and a delicious home cooked meal
Yh came home a little earlier today and quickly got to work creating a delicious dinner for our 30th month anniversary. Char Soba, unagi, salmon sashimi and sushi!, what’s not to love about a lovingly prepared meal? Thanks dear 
Happy 30th Monthsary
 Â
This day marks 30 months or 2.5 years of Mic and I being together as a couple. Last night when i told Mic that, the first thing he said was a cheeky remark “Wow, you (or is it we?) so old liao ah?” Of course, he got a smack on the butt for that! hee…
Well, time passes by so fast, especially when one is happy. It only seem not so long ago that we progressed from friends to a couple, and then preparing to tie the knot and throw our wedding dinner…
Before we know it, it also means that we have been married for 1.5 years already! True, we have established some kind of routine in our life together after all this time, but I’m glad that the romance in our relationship is still very much alive.
Going for the local production, Titoudao, yesterday was also partly as celebration of our monthsary. Thankfully, Mic was in quite a good mood, though just a bit tired from a full day of work.
We started with a nice steak dinner at Jack’s Place, then strolled leisurely into National Library’s Drama Centre. I was lucky to be able to get centre seats right in the front row (discounting the 1st 2 rows of VIP seats). I dare say we have 2 of the best seats in the threatre. It was going to be a great evening.
Somehow, i just love going to musicals and plays. Titoudao’s portrayal was pretty refreshing to me and I enjoyed the show, but more importantly, I was gratified that Mic enjoyed the show too, though he had problem taking in all the Hokkien dialogue.
We held hands all the way home, and held each other close on the train. It felt really good just being together. Thanks, darling, for a wonderful night.
Couple Pillow Cases
Went shopping and bought this cute pair of couple pillow cases of a boy flying paper aeroplane love letters to a girl.
I wrapped the pillow case of the boy and left it in the letter box for Mic as a surprise gift (besides the present of G2000 clothes which i had bought for him earlier) since he so loves to open letter box. 
haha. Could not wait to see the smile on his face when he sees it. Luckily everything went as planned and he only opened the letter box after we returned from dinner at my mother-in-law’s.
I had already hidden the pillow case of the girl the night before and got him to search for it, with just the clue of “It is being camouflaged by something that we always see but never use”.
Mic had some problem uncovering the place, much to my delight. Then i gave him the clue (that it is in his study)Â that led him to find it hidden behind the gift of Chinese painting that we don’t know what to do with.
