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.

Oktober @ Azur Restaurant Changi Airport, Singapore

Ad


With October here and beer, where can one go and have a quiet girly girls night out with a bunch of awesome girlfriends, without any chance of having our boyfriends/husband (Chris Chung, 2nd from the righ, is married) finding us?


Here! At Azur Restaurant @ Singapore Changi Airport, you can! Currently, because its October, Oktoberfeast is available for brunch and dinner - every weekend from 20th Sept to 5th Oct 2013.


You can't really go wrong with meat, meat, more meat and beer. Forget that you might discover something new about your tummy the next day.




The chef above was slicing those delicious, juicy, mouth watering pork knuckles. I usually stay away from them but I couldnt help to try. Was so crispy, I had to, like, have more!



Fill me up, Buttercup.









Azur, located at Crowne Plaza Hotel @ Changi Airport, also offers Bavarian Inspired dishes such as eggs cocotte with bacon, goulaschsuppe with herb and garlie croutons. What an Oktoberfeast!

Alright and before you think this is all that they have up their sleeves, you are dead wrong. One can also consume Asian dishes like (my favourite) Dimsum, Sushi and even padadum.




Sushiiiiii. SUUUUUUSSSHHHIIIII!


Chinese can't do work without rice, can we?


The canto in me really really got to stop this Dimsum business.


Indian!

And what's a buffet without angmoh food. Sausages, bacon, meat, potato, etc... my tummy just did a little dance while typing. Wish I could turn back time .




My date said the caramelized apple tasted delicious but it was a little too sweet for my liking. Perhaps, I am getting old. The only sweet things I can take are the romantic things laode does *smitten.



Nothing says seafood like fresh prawns, juicy scallops and chewy oysters. Too bad oldmantham doesnt take seafood. It could have been a deal breaker 'cause we dont share the same love for seafood and he may never peel a prawn for me ever if I didnt think "hey more for me!"



Of course, there has to be deserts! What a shrine. I can see unicorns, rainbows and glitter all over this photo.


Out of the entire shrine, oldmantham decided on these 4 to munch on. At this rate, he's gonna be crawling on the football field instead of running around. I might be able to get him the next time we are on the opposite team during dodgeball -insert evil plan(s)-.




So with him being old and all (not that old but I just like to tease him this way), I'd expect him to stay away from everything and anything sweet and sugary (except me). Instead we decided to spilt the assignment. I was already too full from the main so I had him try puddings and cake while I had ice cream, fruits and more cakes!





There was no way for me to not try the red velvet cupcake and apple crumble. My two favourite pastries. With this, I am completely sold. COMPLETELY SOLD. Even thinking about it now makes me.. crave. So lets go!

Oktoberfeast buffet prices for 28-29 Sep, 5-6 Oct:
Brunch - Adult $55++, Child $27.50++
Dinner - Adult $65++, Child $32.50++

Online reservations made on their website (link!) will be entitled to 15% off the total bill.
