Valentine Day 140208

In my lifetime, I have rarely celebrated V Day, esp in England, and on this day, it is definitely work, work and work in restaurant. In Singapore previously it was that only one time.

^^^^^^

This year V day was a very special one for me. Knowing that I haven’t celebrated much, my baby went on to plan surprises for me. He doesn’t want to tell me what he is getting and what we will be doing. The only message he left for me is: You will know on the day itself.

Indeed, the surprise came in right in the morning when I’m going to work. He is supposed to be working night shift and so I was surprised to see him when I come out from the lift, holding a big bouquet of flowers and his smile. Then I knew that he has changed his shift so that he can make the necessary arrangements.

My 1st surprise: my bouquet of roses

The next surprise was he has put his thumbdrive in my bag when I was not around. Inside there is his own made slides of love messages. Aww, that was so sweet…Sorry can’t put it up here…it is copyrighted! 8)

^^^^^^

I couldn’t wait till the day end at work, kept wondering about the surprises that come later. He came to pick me up from work and handed me another little surprise: a handmade card. So sweet! After I changed my working clothes to evening wear and I finally get to know where we are going. TO EQUINOX! where Compass Rose used to be. (so paiseh, I din even realise Compass Rose no longer in operation)

Ah,…I didn’t know he booked Equinox for dinner, it would cost such a big bomb! But he reassured me that all is alrite. I was still in the daze abt the surprises he has given in a day. WOW!

I have never been up to Swissotel before and today was indeed an experience for me. He managed to book the window side view so that we can admire the scenery while we had our dinner.

The table setting was beautiful, with rose petals and 2 candles, and with Rose Champagne to go start with.

^^^^^^

You can see the portion is very very small, BUT it is very very filling. The whole dinner experience lasted for 3 hours and we didn’t even realise it! Been busy taking photos, talking, admiring the food and scenery and gossiping! HAHA :P

The view of the scenery up there is breathtaking.

And not forgetting our very own…Esplande! haha, from the ground, it look like durian. But from the top, it look so like a house fly! That is also shown in Talking cock.com! haha!!

A little note for my baby: thank you dear for such a wonderful day. You have made me feel like a princess. Whatever you have done for me, I can feel ur love in it. Love you my sweetheart

It was the first Valentine Day that I had spent with my darling. Indeed the entire plan went on smoothly as planned. We had a wonderful and fruitful time together.
For my darling all these were worthwhile as you deserves them. It is a blessing that I have you by my side and spent such a memorable event together. Your love, concern, caring and understanding towards me was beyond words that can be described. Love you my baby.
