Permanent Valentine

Meet Alwyn.


I think I haven't officially introduce him. Age 28, Cantonese, Jay Chou lookalike. Husband to Me, future father of my children, my permanent Valentine.

Short story of how we met-
One day, I stepped into a lift. The lift door opened at level 8. Alwyn was there. He tindered me but there wasn't any match so he asked his friend about me. A month later, we met again. He asked me out. I said yes. The end.


This is how we spent our first Valentine's Day. I woke up to his smelly face in the morning and laid in bed till he gets up, a blessing that we are able to do that. Alwyn leaves for work at 7am every weekday and I work at 8.30am every weekend.

When the man got up, he brushed his teeth to have his coffee while I catch up on one US show. Suddenly..

This. I was thinking to myself if I was getting flowers and how is he going to go get them when I will be with him the whole of today. Then, as though I was a muggle and he was from Potterworld, a bouquet of flower appeared in front of me 😍

Red eye because eye itchy.

Rejoiced but refusing to give him a thank you kiss because I haven't brush my teeth, I went to the bathroom and wash my face to have breakfast.

Plant a kiss after I have my oral hygiene fixed

We then got ready for church.

Snuck a funny face shot before service started

Teachings 

I felt blessed that Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday. It's like we can have a date with Jesus too. 

Off to have dinner !

Everything was planned by the man. Even my dressing. If he had everything his way, he would have me remove my makeup. 



Here's a cheesy edit of a dinner photo for a cheesy date of an overrated highly celebrated day by young couples and so old ones too. We had dinner at this Italian place at Portsdown Road called Pietrasanta.

Service was fantastic but I can't say the same for their food. Staff knew their stuff which was refreshing. 

We ordered Minestrone soup. Staff asked if we were sharing and he said he will serve us on two separate bowls. That's a first for me however soup that came was bland. 

They had grilled calamari on menu. Staff said we can change it to fried calamari, which we did. It was too salty for my liking but Alwyn likes everything salty. 

Main was alright . I had a very standard seafood pasta with white wine sauce that could do with a little bit more herbs. Alwyn had a ravioli which tasted more like lasagna, only less carbs.



No photos because this one not food review post. I did read some reviews on HGW, one encountered cockroaches. I only saw two red ants on my table.


We then went for a walk at Henderson Waves and took photo at the exact spot we did when we were dating. We usually go for a walk after dinner but it has stopped after getting married as we hardly have dinner together anymore due to my work commitments. He was so excited when I suggested going for a walk.


Came home to another surprise on the table - a new wallet from Agnes B. But I still made him pluck my armpit hairs. Marriage is pretty disgusting. 


As the night was still young, we went heads on on his PS3. I would like to think that he finds his PS4 very precious so he doesn't play with it much. If not, it's abit waste of my $750 to get the Star Wars Limited Ed.


Then it's bed time. My permanent Valentine said that he will upz his game every year because I deserve it and I'm like three years later then say. 'Cause he looks like he's sleeping but he's actually playing games on his iPhone.

Koh honestly need to learn how to smile more.

IMG_3854

Forget it. Teach him next time.

IMG_3855

Taking a ferry! Now, did you guess where we are going?

IMG_3856

Let's follow her!

IMG_3857

So exciting!

IMG_3858

Pretty pretty please dont rain!

IMG_3859

The ferry. Its the best we could get in such a short time (less than a week).

IMG_3861

Got on the boat at..

IMG_3863

Ya, I havent take out the plastic and I can see my arm hair. Yipee~

IMG_3864

Leaving SG. It better not rain 'cause we were sitting at the top where theres no shelter.

IMG_3865

Another fail one -.-'

IMG_3866

Trying to see if the other side is raining.

So there is a pause of pictures here for I fear rain and there was nothing to show yall. I was in the middle of the ocean and Koh was dozing off.

IMG_3867

Reached and it was dark already!

IMG_3868

My plastic flew off and Tanjung Pinang is an hr in front of SG. So technically, its only 6pm.

IMG_3869

The inside of the ferry..

IMG_3871

IMG_3872

The hotel we booked has shuttle service from the pier to the hotel so here we are in a car!

IMG_3873

Hotel is very near the police station. I am very happy that I change hotel at the last min (3 days before).

IMG_3875

We checked in and surprise surprise, the receptionist could speak Chinese! Its a pretty small boutique-ish hotel with no lifts.

IMG_3876

Heres the bed.

IMG_3878

With me, happy with my selection!

IMG_3879

If you like, heres the details. The hotel is 5 mins away from pier and 10 mins away from nearest mall! Plus free breakfast 2 days.

IMG_3880

We got out, hoping to get ciggs.

IMG_3882

We found this instead. This badminton teacher who teaches JJC told us to get this prepaid card 'cause its the best. We needed to text back home to let parents know we safe and plus to call hotel if we lost.

IMG_3883

Went for another round, back at the hotel.

IMG_3884

Koh showered and this is the reason why I change hotel. GOT BATHTUB! Somemore the hot water is really good.

Pause of photos again 'cause we got the hotel to help us get ladies in to massage us for 13SGD per person per hour. Kohs did a great job for him and mine was just rubbing a stone all over my body. Hurt like a bitch. To make it up to me, Koh brought me to a legit massage place the next day at only 25SGD per person for 2 hours. Add 3SGD for private room.

IMG_3886

We became hungry people and wondered out of the hotel. Melayu Square was only 10 mins walk. Not funny to walk in Tanjung Pinang. No traffic lights, no lanes, everyone was boss.

IMG_3887

Theres a huge parade square for kids to run about, cycle.

IMG_3888

IMG_3889

IMG_3890

And everyday pasar malam (night market) only close when raining.

IMG_3891

FOOD! 5SGD for a whole fish.

IMG_3893

Maturbak only 1SGD per piece.

IMG_3892

SPAM YOU AGAIN.

IMG_3894

Walked back to hotel safe and sound. No picture 'cause I scared the motorcyclists will snatch away. I watch tv till I…

K.O. Sleep is indeed for the weak.
