2nd Wedding Anniversary

recently not been that good ... work is fine but not the people. Friday's meeting make me realise we are 2nd citizens and whatever we do as long is one mistake you will be condemn. they can tolerate some other people's "working attitude " but pinpoint a fast worker and i dun understand why they dun talk to the person involved directly but announce to the whole team then ask the main teacher incharge this year to talk to us... dun get it and we gota speculate... xianz this week. the good news is that i got a pair of gals for tutoring but have to go all the way to bukit timah on sat morning but its good money. and thanks to May who passed them to me! thus i gota move my local kido to later sat afternoon... will be almost another working day for me! also earning alittle more cos from next tues onwards i will be helping out a spanish teacher in local term like an eca kinda stuff. help to look after the kidos but this not earning alot but better than none and i get to learn spanish! hope he's nice... and class is easy to take care...fingers crossed cos i see him twice a week on tues and thurs... !

Tuesday 18th September 2007 is our 2nd wedding anniversary. On Monday we were thinking hard cos we didnt want to go back to M hotel and we were trying to find somewhere in Taka to have dinner after the spa. then when i called gx during lunch to confirm dinner place he broke a sad news to me... the new car was gog to be delievered to them at 2pm. I was upset cos didnt get to see it for the last time. over the weekend and Monday with his family we did bring the car for a spin and photo taking but i was sad that instead of wed it has to go on our anniversary... its was our wedding car... we like this car but in time to come we will need to change it and the new car come with a lower installment each month... so the family decided to part with our favourite yellow car. we all felt sad... esp my mil... it meant alot to her.

bcos gx gota settle carpark transfer to this new car he was late... during the massage the therapist was shocked... she say i was having very bad stiffness and bad blood circulations... it was painful but she's good. she knows where i am having aches and after all the pain my tension is released. surprised they told us we got feet treatment thou... they insisted we have .... so we went for it taking it as given for our anniversary or arranged by the gal who is our consultant who didnt book our 16th massage... so we soak the feet, massaged with cream then paraffin? haha gx first time do this! we sat on a very uncomfortable massage chair thou the only bad point! Our plans changed after spa... we didnt wana go back to m cos dun wana elaborate our dinner cos still within 100days... but we felt silly to eat at taka then go shopping for the kidos bdae gifts on our special day... so we head back to drive our new car out to M... When i saw the car ... really miss looking for yellow cos the whole carpark will be filled with mostly silver or black then here and there red, blue and a few smaller yellow cars... gx say we should look forward...
WAS very hungry oredi when we got there! went back to the same place as last year cafe 2000. ordered the semi buffet that comes with a main course. looked thru the menu and the lobster soup is no longer available... heres the spread of the semi buffet...

calamari, fried wantan in BIG piece of wantan skin (so very crispy!), toast with chicken and tuna filling, breaded fried prawns

cold mini lobster? or crayfish, cold fresh oysters, cold clams, cold mussels and cold prawns which was the best...

sushi and a cute small wooden box of cold soba

fresh salmon sashimi

smoked salmon, mussels and prawns in shotglass

Gx's beef tenderloin and mine's Salmon in Lemony sauce.


Desserts... the left piece was cheesecake dusted with gold dust and top with a gold dust walnut.

not alot of variety but was filling when we ate our main course. I had salmon with a nice lemony sauce and he ate beef. the dessert reminded me of our rom buffet at J Bar. the cheese cake had a coffee cake base the cheese cake was to die for! and the rich chocolate cake was very good cos dark and smooth! didnt eat anything with the chocolate fountain and the kuehkuehs ...



when gx left for the bathroom i decided to order the same cake that was served to us last year. the best strawberry cheescake! with much tots i jus asked them to arrange a candle like the one we had before... celebrate? we cut down alot this year with no gifts and this was very last minute to wrap it up nicely... when the waiter bring the cake over he couldnt see (again jus like last year!) EXCEPT that this time we had a BIGMOUTH uncle old uncle who got excited... he said at his top of his excited soul! "WAH!!!!! WHOOOOOS BDAE!!!!! WAHHHHHH!!!! WHOS BDAE!!!!!" gerald of cos turn and watch the waiter walk towards us ... he was like ok theres a cake coming.... but a big surprise to us is .... the cake had a birthday tag! and when the waiter put it down he immediately wished him HAPPY BDAE! ...


i then explain to both of them its my fault i didnt make it clear its for our wedding anniversary!... he was like ohhhh sorry but he's very nice and i said it my fault no prob and they decorated with love... cos they went to the expand to drizzle the words happy bdae on the plate and decorated the plate with sliced strawberries and its different this time cos theres freshly-made strawberry ice cream in a tart case. he chatted with us and we told him we got married here, last year celebrated at this same cafe, had the cheesecake which we had at our Buffet at J BAR.... but this year i didnt call up to arrange. He then told us whenever the menu changes this cheesecake stays... i say it has to cos its really good and gx told him we are prob gog to come every year! Gx thinks its the best place to be at on our anniversary and i agree! the cheese was so soft! a perfect way to mark the nite. the service people here are really nice. we didnt regret not coming in here to eat our dinner.
we then went up to the 10th floor to take a peek at the ballroom area... last year the place didnt have any events thus the whole floor was DARK. this year we saw alot of people in the lobby in gowns leaving so we went up to check the place out... there are changes in the front foyer... so we took the chance to take some pictures... and we helped ourself to 2 balloons!

got home and as usual i will fan gx till he takes a series of pictures with me then i let him go!





after that me went straight to bed cos i was soooo tired after the spa and with a happy filled tummy! but i woke up late this morning... took a cab to work and JAM... hope the 2 motor cyclist are fine... they collided with a car... when we passed the area... i shut my eyes and prayed for them... but i made it to school in time... i reached before 7.30am and at 7.30am i started working! cos this is one of the points they make clear to us during the meeting... for this i am not worried cos most of the time i am there and oredi started fotocopying stuff thats on my desk.... but this makes me stresss in the morning when i wake up cos soooooo afraid to be late... received a mgs tuition cancelled... glad so i can rest... 2 years at this time 5+ i was sitting in my "queen" seat doing my makeup... cos today is our dinner nite... but we dun celebrate this day but gx gota work midnite today... now my worry is nobody to make sure i get outa bed in time tomolo morning...

i need to WAKE UP! wake up from my semi-unhappy shell...
