haPpy Valentine's Day 2011! - Malacca part 1

Happy Valentine's day to us! Yes 14th and 15th (check our part 2 for 15th, my B'day!) respectively are the lovely dates of February apart from the 5th! =D Just like our 5th year anniversary, I was kinda clueless as to where we were going >.<

(Us with our Mac brekkie!!)

And after brekkie, we set off to Orchard area to take the bus to the secret destination!! *wheeeee* and other then knowing it's somewhere in M'sia, I still haven any idea where the place is at that point in time...

(Us on the bus!)

(What's with the person behind us...>.<)

(And it was clear blue sky that day!Whee~)

We arrived at the destination approx 3-4 hours later...and Tadaaa...here it is! - the new Philea Resort located in Malacca~ *happy*

(At the lobby while waiting for the rooms to be ready since we arrived there earlier~)






(In a buggy cos the resort is quite big and the room is quite a distance from e lobby...though walkable =D)








(Our room! The bathroom has got both a shower area and a bath tub on each side..teehee)

As our stomachs were growling by then, we headed to town by cab for the supposedly famous chicken rice balls! *yippy* only that cab journey took 20 mins and the stall we intended to go was not open that day! *roar* so we settled for another stall which we heard is quite good too~

(Us in the cab~)



(at the chicken rice stall waiting for our food!!)




(Our initial orders which eventually grew in size cos it just wasn't enough for us! =p)



(Us strolling along the streets after our filling lunch!)

After walking for quite time, we decided to head back to the resort Weather that day was scorching hot by the way...=.= but it felt nice having a stroll with Dar down the rows of shops, leisurely~ Anyways, we cabbed back to the resort and guessed what we did when we went back? - SWIM of cos...best to dip in the pool in that hot weather!

(Us all ready to head for a swim!)



(And I lurrrve the man-made waterfall there~somehow it helps in relaxing!)








(More pics on the resort~Lovely isn't it?)

(Read magazine by the pool..then dip in..i like! teehee~)

And then nightfall came...and it was time for our V'day dinner together! Headed back for a shower before we walked over to the restaurant there...they had V'day dinner plans for all in the resort =D It was rather pricey though...

(Some CNY lightings~)




(Us in the restaurant..a rose for me? =D)



(hApPy Valentine's Day to us! <3)






(Our V'day dinner!~)



(Us...glowing in love~)




(And totally love the night view at the pool~)

This sums up our Valentine's Day! Totally enjoyed ourselves that day...and that's not all there is for our stay at Philea Resort..cos there's my birthday as well!! =D Stay tuned!!! But here's thanking Dar for everything on Valentine's Day! May we spend many many more Valentine's Day together! <3<3<3

haPpy 5th Year AnniverSary to us!!! =D

(haPpy 5th yeaR anniVersary to us!!*smooch*)

We had our 5th year anniversary on the 5th February 2011. It happened to coincide with the 3rd day of CNY and thankfully, falls on a Saturday! Dar was the main organiser of the day and had kept the itinerary a secret even to the very day! I_was_clueless~~~~~

Clueless can be a good thing when it was all superbly planned out by Dar! I have to give compliments to Mr Yeo cos his planning skills has really improved compared to 5 years ago =x!

I wasn't feeling at my best the day before, so on the 5th, Dar let me sleep till around noon time before I woke up and got ready! The only clues provided to me up till that afternoon was - bring swim suit, a set of casual wear, the place has water and aircon! Hmm..where would you guess? Oh well...the answer is the brand new Grand Park Orchard Hotel! I would never have guess it right even if you give me a 100 chances :p and I totally love the hotel! Beautiful/Gorgeous is an understatement!!! =D

(The pool and the lobby~)

(I love the mural loads!)






(Other pecktures of the room~)



(Love the see-through bathroom style...separated by a blind! Pop into the bathtub for a bubble bath and watch the TV!)



(Comfy comfy sofa~)



(Tadaaa~short me tall him! =p)




(Dar loves Bella and Bella loves Dar!)

Dar had bought movie tickets beforehand, we first went over to Cineleisure for some laugh in a comedy show , then I went ALT & Paragon for shopping before we finally went for dinner @ Singapore Art Museum's Trattoria Lafiandra. A really cosy and lovely ambience with really delicious tomato-based pasta! *yums*

(Love my dress!)



(Ready to go out!)



(Trattoria Lafiandra)





(Us with our yummy dinner~)

After dinner, we went back to hotel to have a bath before we watched the Newcastle vs Arsenal match! It was a truly awesome match! Really enjoyed it alot!! Though it was a draw match, but both Dar and me agreed that it was a great game played by Dar's beloved Newcastle! =D We strolled over to No.5 Emerald Hill the game...and I really love the breeze along the quiet Orchard rd at pass midnight! Staying in the middle of Orchard rd feels really awesome with all the shopping malls and chill-out sessions just few steps away!

(Us @ No.5!)

(Yummy wings, beer and nicey peanuts!! <3)

*bUrPs* With the yummy wings, beer and nicey peanuts, that more or less summed up our anniversary! I really feel this 5 year mark is like a level-ling-up pit-stop. We've gone through much - happy and sad moments, many breaking points but salvaged moments as well!~ For us now, I feel we have grown recently. I'm thankful for everything, for having Dar with me! I cherish him and I know he cherish me as well. And I believe it is this mutual feeling we have that will continue to bind us together! I love you Mr. Collin Yeo! *smooch* <3<3<3
