Really sorry for the lack of updates- work has been pretty hectic lately. Time flies, and I've been in my job for almost a year this end Feb.

Here wishing everyone happy valentine day! It's our second year celebrating this special occasion and we hope to celebrate the rest of valentine's day together. This year, we celebrated vday with a dinner date at illido (@ Sentosa Golf Club) on the eve. Actual vday was spent having cny reunion dinner with his parents and relatives. 

Dinner was okay, nothing impressive (and memorable). We chose the foie gras & octopus with nduja and potato cream (not that bad) for sides. 2 main courses- their highly recommended 1) tagliolini with scampi and paprika sauce & 2) kurobuta pork chop to share. Service was good. I was craving for chocolate lava cake but I realised the dish has been removed from their dessert menu. The staff kindly offered to check with the chef and somehow they managed to arrange. However, the surface was a little burnt but overall it was okay. It could have been better matching it with a scoop of ice cream. 

  

Anyways thank you S for the dinner treat and for the very unexpected red roses from the (not-so) romantic man. Rare times you get to see the sweet-er side of him.

As we age, we no longer expect for more. It's no longer about gifts and fanciful surprises. I'm good with this simple arrangement. Thanks for reassuring me when there are times I might feel a little negative about myself. Trust and stability is more important than anything in a relationship. Gifts are just temporary happiness. Ultimately, the best kind of relationship makes you feel emotionally safe and secure. In other words, filling up your emotional tank and making sure it's full. Thank you for loving me.

Oh ya, holiday mode activated. Very much looking forward to the long cny weekend. :) and I desperately need a getaway trip soon too. Planning in progress!
