Feb 14

Starting as long distance relation, me and hubby never had any Valentine's day celebration before. Since we "park toh", we stayed apart most of the time. From the beginning he worked in Penang and i am at KL, till later he is in China, we don't even had the chance to be together on this special day for Valentines.

Many friends wonder, how we actually maintained our relation and developed till the marital stage while the day we spent together during our 2 "park toh" years is actually not more than 6 months. Myself doubted too. Well....it just happened! =) I think the distance has led us to cherish every moments we had together and hence, heating up our relation.

This Feb 14, for the 1st time, we able to spend the day together, although no special celebration. Compared to previous years when we could only greet each other by sms and calls; watching dvd side by side, playing game we both enjoyed and having dinner together are already the greatest celebration for us. Of course it's like any other normal weekend we had now, but i am kind of enjoy it. ^-^

Talking about the day, we had a pre-Valentine's day dinner, a night before Feb 14, at our favorite cafe-Ming Tien Coffee and Tea. To avoid the crowd on actual day and being "chop"!! ;p Well, it's a dinner with slight disappointment. We ordered the Thai's fried rice as usual. The taste is the same, but the ingredients is different. We asked the waitress to confirm the order, she said : " oh...the mussel finished, but this is Thai's fried rice you ordered." We :".......???!!!" We are not sure whether they have changed the recipe due to economy recession (they substitute mussel with straw mushrooms) or they are saving the ingredients for Feb 14 customers (their brochure show a 60% marked-up for the same fried rice on that particular Feb 14). Anyway, shouldn't they informed us if any ingredients finished?? hmmm.....

Guess what! We had our dinner in a Karaoke on Feb 14... ;D We have such a long time didn't sing, so we decided to go there for dinner and enjoyed singing at the same time. To my surprise, they are doing promotion on the day; 1/2 dozen of Anchor beer is giving free for every room and all the charges (rooms, drinks and foods) is at normal price. What a great deal, ya? The first place i ever know, not marking up the price on Valentine's day, instead doing promotion. Two of us spent 3 hours screamed out our lung there and we only managed to finish 3 bottle of the beer.....Heheheh.....
(PS: Oh.....i missed the days going to Redbox in KL with friends. That's our favorite activity for weekend lunch....)

Received an email attaching a simple card from hubby on Feb 14 morning. My darling hubby is sweet enough to create it while i am still in the bed. But i only found out today- Feb16, what a failed wife i am! =(
Thanks, honey. You are really sweet. ^@^
