Love is in the air.

Valentine's Day was over the weekend, did you have a great time with your valentine? I certainly hope that you have an awesome time, be it with your other half or for those singles, with your bestest friends. Me and hubby had an awesome time, enjoying each other's presence.

Since V-Day was on Sat, dear had to work and while he worked, I was enjoying my korean drama at home waiting for him to come back for lunch. He insisted on coming back home for lunch while normally we would have met at Jurong west for lunch before heading for service. Well, since he insisted, I will just wait at home, suspecting that he's "up to something no good". Indeed, dear came back with a bouquet of flowers and found me almost "dying" from hunger on the sofa. We had a quick presentation of our gifts and had a tiny weeni lunch.

We headed for svc and had a great time with pst sharing on the next 2 points of the needs of woman and man. Great drama and great sermon. As it was V-day, we received a pair of couple rings from church, renewed our vows and did the normal lovely dovey stuff.

Initially, we were supposed to head back to Sembawang for a "romantic" dinner at Admiralhill Country Club which is just abt 10 mins walk from our house. How romantic right? Well, we had tried reserving places for the dinner but all places were fully booked weeks ago. Mind you, we didn't do last minute like last year but we tried booking those places as early as right after cny. Talk about recession, I didn't think it has hit singaporeans so badly that kept them away from celebrating V-day. Okay, back to our dinner. We were heading back on the train but we have decided to change route within 2 mrt stops. We decided to try our luck to see if we could still get a table at Melt The World Cafe. We had wanted to go there weeks ago but dropped the idea as it was simply too expensive, but after much debating within our hearts we decided not to hold back our $$$ for a day of happiness. haha. Guess what, they are still open for reservations!

Reaching Mandarin Oriental, we remembered that the hotel was having a promo package for V-day but wasn't sure if it's available only by reservation through the internet or we could simply do a walk in. We decided to ask, reason being not because we want to spend more $$$ but simply because it's more worth it taking the whole package because the dinner is seriously expensive. Lady luck was smiling on both of us that day. :)) The hotel said it's possible and we got our Premium Harbour Room package, which includes the dinner for 2 and breakfast for 2 the next day. And best of all, due to full occupancy for the premium harbour room we got a free upgrade to the Club Suite!!! Wah! Though it's a city view room, but it's already good enough as the room was really simply beautiful. When we stepped into the room, we told ourselves that it's like a "compensation" to ourselves for not getting a suite on our wedding nite. Haha!

We had a great dinner at the The Melt Cafe and I tell you, the food is great and seafood was simply too fresh. But, personal opinion, it's a once a lifetime experience no need to go back twice. We had a wonderful awesome v-day with lots of unexpected happenings that sparks off the romance and love in our lifes. How about you? I certainly hope that you have the same too. :)
