Our Wednesday

It's wednesday yesterday and we had our pak tou day revived! Finally! Well, not that we have not been spending time but previously due to bible study on weds and after the bs, we have been staying home to rest due to the hectic worklife we had. So yesterday, we went on a real time chill out.

Initial plan was to stay home coz the previous night i prepared darling's fav vegetarian dish - zhai cai, but in the afternoon we decided to go out for a good meal and leave the dish to tonight. Considering we need a break due to the stressful time we have been facing and is still facing now. So off we went to Marina Mandarin Hotel for buffet dinner. Aquamarine has nice ambience and really good for group gathering. However, we reckon that food is only so-so but only for the common buffet fare. Specialty like the japanese fare, indian fare, cold dishes and desserts are good. Appetizers are nice too with fresh oysters, fresh and sweet prawns, slipper lobster etc etc. Had a good time just spending time with each other. Guess we really need the time with each other to heal our souls and bodies. So friends out there, if we both decided to retreat into the cold palace, please forgive us ok. Especially if we appear to be giving cold shoulder or even to being anti social. Need your understanding. Anyway, had a really good meal and so much so that when we walked out of the place, I felt like a pregnant lady who is perhaps into her 5th or 6th month of pregnancy. Haha! (-_-") The surprise that we got when we pay our bills... initially we thought that the buffet cost $70+++ per pax as recommended by the channel 8 show, so yours truly here was prepared for a $200 bill. But when the bill came, the price was only $48++ per pax. Got a good and pleasant shock, so decided to use my UOB Lady's card for bill. Bill came again and before i signed, i realised that they have a 15% discount for the card. Woah! So in the end we only paid a total of $96. Heehee... base price. But it's a 1x experience... not a place where I will visit again unless for chill out at the lounge.

Given the little time left after dinner before shop closes, we head to kiddy palace to search for a gift for baby Joshua's first month. Managed to get a nice gift but not enough time to search for 2nd present for Doug's daughter's 1st year birthday. Since we spent much less than expected for dinner, we decided to take the 1st cabby in our 2 weeks home. But ended up calling for a cab coz cabbies simply refuse to turn into Marina Square taxi stand despite being empty. Haiz...

Reached home ard 1045pm, bathed, spent some more quality time together reading, chatting and off we go to bed.

That's our wednesday. Even though it may sound normal and to some, even sound uninteresting, but to us, what matters is the quality time spent between both of us. That's enough.
