Oh gosh. I can't believe I haven't blogged about my First Anniversary. This being my first (and last) relationship, I can only celebrate a First Anniversary once in my life! So it's definitely a big deal. :)

When the relationship was still budding, and at two months, me and the boy escaped to Pulau Ubin for a quick two hours just cause I've never been there before. (plus the boat ticket was only two dollars) And so, being the avid travellers we are (haha, i make us sound cool, but we've mainly covered only Southeast Asia only. BOO.) , this all-important anniversary is just the right opportunity for a holiday getaway in Ubin!

It started drizzling after a while, and so our clothes got quite damp, but NOT our moods! (ok darn corny) It wasn't time to board the ferry yet, so off we went to seek shelter.

In the arcade. The boy was not amused when his character in Metal Slug died only after a few rounds. TEEHEEHEE.

Finally, the ferry arrives! And guess what, there's only two of us, and the boatman and his assistant on board the 50 something seater ferry. What a waste of fuel.

The only restaurant (well kinda) in the area was just a few steps outside of our chalet room, and it looked rather picturesque with all the dim yellow lighting and brick/wooden exterior.

Either the staff(it was weird that it was an Eurasian teenager serving us!) was just being lazy or they have a different custom in Ubin, but the Iced Milo we ordered actually came hot! with its very own cup of ice, for us to pour into.

(oh gosh, I'm using emoticons either than smiley/sad faces!)

The anniversary night we spent there was awfully cozy, with snuggly blankets and takeaway box of hot and FAT fries (from the restaurant too, there is NO other eatery anyway. haha.) in hand, we munched and watched Olympics on the small telly screen in bed.

We got a bit bonkers, because we had a few hours to spare before the ferry came at noon to take us back to the city. And we decided to rent bikes and head to the village and Chek Jawa!

So butt-aches here we come!

Really cute wall advertisement.

(See, you don't need fancy graphics and a hugeass budget to attract people's attention)

Our lunch at the village! The kampong chicken was recommended, but it wasn't too nice. (and it wasn't too cheap) and there was too much of it. bleahh.

Wild Boar Alert! We saw an entire family! from boar-lets (???) to mom and dad!

And then it was up on the Tower that I discovered my camera spare battery was missing.

:( Eighty dollars it costs, as we found out at the shops a few days later.

Bahhhh. :( So my smile diminished quite a bit, and I got quite sore about it.

Who has got spare camera battery(model no. NP-FD1) and has no use for it,

here's someone willing to claim it! HEE.

bleahhh, fat hope hur.

Further into Chek Jawa.

The boy managed to cheer me up and even get me doing some morning exercises. :)

After cycling back to the jetty, the very tired two of us searched our bags and pockets for the battery that was not to be found. :(

And so explains the glum faces as I started to get sore again. DARN.

And then the ferry came and took us away from Ubin. Which was very nice, except for that lost. But on hindsight, it was a seriously relac-one-corner place. Plus it was freaking cheap can.

There was some August Promotion for Passioncard (SEE, aunty card also got use) and the rooms which usually went at $90 a night for a twin room, was only at....

TEN FREAKING DOLLARS.

That's FIVE dollars a head!

SHIOK BO.

Random. I accidentally stole two Angelwands from the library. But I shared the guilt (and the crime) with Christine by giving her one. hahah. But so pretty right.

And look at what darling gave me.

A mug, designed with much love and talent and skills,

together with a plush golden retriever (not in picture).

I really adore them, especially the mug! It's right beside me now, filled with water full of goodness, and I'm feeling the bliss. :)

365 days.

we'll work together wont we.

to make the number multiply by itself over and over again. :)

iloveyou, my boy.

can you hear the soft swoosh of the butterflies' wings. 3:10 AM.
