7年の癢

I have been counting down to this day to execute my big plan for our 7th year anniversary celebration. Why this year? There's a saying of 'seven years itch', thus must do something to rekindle the sparks once in a while, else the itchy bug come to us how? Choy choy choy choy......Ya i noe, it's juz some of my excuses of spending more quality time with hb by tolak-ing the baby-sitting chores to others :)

So what's in for my guy? I told him a white lie saying we were invited for a wedding dinner but in actual fact I had arranged a 'sky-dining' at Mount Faber with him. He buys my story and was telling me that my friend was so rich to hold wedding there. He even mentioned that next time my friend's anniversary will be the same as ours and asked me how come it was this date and on a Monday. I was laughing inside my heart. I replied him 17 March is a good date loh. Meanwhile I was praying very hard for the rain not to come else everything will be ruined cos sky dining is impossible if weather turns bad. Mum and ML were all informed of us going for wedding dinner so that they can help babysit our children. I felt really guilty lying to them but this is mandatory to ensure my whole plan works well.

Hb wasn't working so he sent the gal to school in the afternoon and secretly bot flowers for me. I took a 1/2 day leave and went home to doll up myself b4 setting off earlier for our dinner cos we gotto take a bus to harbourfront whereby the journey will take abt an hour. Moreover, the email wrote gotto reach 30 minutes earlier for registration and dinner start at 6.30pm.

When we took the lift down, hb said he has forgotten to bring his mobile phone and asked me to wait for him while he went up to get. He surprised me with the flowers he has bot earlier. I was feeling happy of course as I didn't expect him to do so. At minimum he still cares to do something for our anniversary and what more do I ask for, right? :)

I continue to act as if I didn't get him anything. There wasn't any moment of disappointment in hb. All that was in his mind was we were going for wedding dinner else he will at least bring me or rather our family out for dinner. The only thing I worried was how to continue acting when we reach destination, hahaha.

When we reached the cable car station, I showed the ticketing counter my email printout for a complimentary ride to Mount Faber station and I was lucky enuf that the counter staff didn't say anything that gave me away. So I continue acted. It was till we were about to board the cable car then the control officer mentioned something about sky dining that aroused his suspicion but still I managed to bluff my way thru by giving him some lame answer.

We were too early for the dinner cos we really reached 30 minutes b4 dinner time, thus we walked around taking photographs. 10 minutes after, he started to question where is the exact location of the banquet and it was then I started telling him the whole truth. I caught him by surprise and he was elated. He told me he thot he was the trickster to surprise me with his flowers but least did he expect to be tricked by me. Well, if he's King of trickster then I gotto be the Queen of Trickster loh, tsk tsk tsk :p

This is our 1st experience of sky dining and the whole duration of the dinner took abt 1.5 hours as it consist of 3 rounds of cable car ride.

I have not been on a cable car before and it has been almost 20 years since hb last sat a cable car. We enjoyed our every moment up in sky. 4 rounds of cable car ride is really sufficient and anything more will lead to 'over-dosage' of cable car liao. Guess will be another 20 years for our next ride. Juz kidding man.... :)

Anyway the scenery was nice and we managed to catch the sunset. It has been a very long time since I saw sunset. There is a booth helping all diners to take photograph as well but if you want the photos then u would have to pay a price for it of course.

We had soup for the 1st round of ride, then main course for 2nd round. Our main course was pasta followed by dessert and tea to end our 3rd round of cable car ride. Brownie was served as dessert and we both love it. We dined from bright sky to dark sky. The serving of the food was juz nice and anything more than that will cause my belly to burst liao.

Rmb the photograph taken b4 we went for our soup in the 1st ride? It was ready when we came back from the 1st round, the friendly staff at the booth placed our photograph on our table asking us to take a look and consider if we wanna buy it without telling us the price. He said he will tell us when we came back from round 2. I was jokingly telling hb that he was afraid that it might affect our appetite upon hearing the price. We bot the package anyway as we find the photo taken wasn't too bad and it is for remembrance sake. The package consists of a 5R photo, 2 pocket-size photographs and 2 key chains for each of us.

We went home happily after the dinner and that marked the journey of our 7 years together. I composed a Chinese poem for hb and come to think of being happily married for 7 years is something not so easy hor. I'll cherish and stay contented with whatever I have.

Happy 7th Anniversary to you, hubby! 祝你七年之癢快樂！ 如果你癢癢的話, 記得有我幫你搔癢。:)
