Wedding Anniversary Celebrations

Haven't been updating my blog for quite a while as I have been occupied with my Dad's health. Now that he's at home, recovering slowly, I can breathe a little easier and continue to update my blog.

There have been quite a number of events in Nov and I have decided to write on my wedding anniversary celebrations to start it all off.

We celebrated our anniversary on 18th Nov 2010, technically, we ROM-ed on 21st Nov and our traditional was on 18th Nov (a year later).... so to keep things simple, we decided to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary (10 years of ROM) on the traditional date (which is actually only 9 years). Hopefully, next year, I can get another bling bling surprise for our 10th traditional anniversary.... kekeke.
In the morning, we sent Baby G to school and then off to Macs for breakfast. We chose Mac so that we can enjoy our meal, surf net free and basically, relax over a hot cuppa. Alex also took the opportunity to try out his new Canon EOS550 toy around Anchorvale CC's compound.
After our super long breakfast, we did some shopping and off for lunch at Dome @ Dempsey Hill and then more shopping.
We proceeded to pick Baby G earlier than usual as we had to reach our dinner place before 630pm. We quickly got ready & drove to Mount Faber for our very special dinner especially arranged by my dearest hubby.
As we queued up to board the cable car, they provided us with welcome drinks of Champange & Mocktail for Baby G although he didn't liked it, saying it was too sweet. So end up, we shared Baby G's mocktail. Soon it was time to board, the servers worked very quickly after we actually got into the cabins. They placed our starters and Baby G's main course and off we went.
The 1st round was from Mount Faber all the way to Sentosa and back. Inside the cabin, it was really breezy. We slowly ate our meal and enjoyed the spectacular view. Baby G was very excited and kept looking all around him. Upon reaching Mount Faber again, the servers removed our empty plates and served us our main course with a glass of orange juice. The Sea Bream that I had was really salty but Alex's chicken tasted slightly better. I had to remove the skin totally and only ate the fish meat which was not as salty as the skin but still I had to wash it down with lots of water & juice. The steamed potatoes were, however, really smooth and tasty.
After our main course, the desserts were a disappointment. It was simply fruit jelly served in a glass jar. Presentation scored points but not the taste. However, Baby G's Chocolate concoction was simply divine. Luckily he didn't like the banana and didn't want to eat it so I relished it all by myself.

Grandpa's Op

Grandpa was scheduled for a major op on Friday morning, so on Thursday evening, we went down to pay him a visit.
We reached SGH around dinner time, after picking Baby G from school. We had dinner @ Kopitiam with Grandpa. As he already had his Western dinner provided by the hospital, he only joined us for desserts. Baby G opted for soy chicken rice and ate almost the entire plate, leaving only 3 mouthfuls of rice for me.


After dinner, we proceeded to Grandpa's room. It was relatively cosy. Best part was having the room to ourselves. At least, it offered us a lot of privacy and we didn't have to worry about disturbing other patients. Baby G was very impressed with the room. He took off his sandals and walked around barefoot. I think he felt that it was a mini-home. He climbed onto Grandpa's bed and made himself very comfortable.
Good luck Grandpa!
