Our 3rd Wedding Anniversary!

This year's celebration is slighly different from our first 2 anniversaries as it was just a simple dinner with no surprises but I still feel blissful. And we are thankful to our understanding babysitters (my parents) for giving us time on a weekday night to celebrate.

Feeling blissful is one thing, but no surprises is another. No flowers. No present. *Sob* Okay, its because I was constantly reminding him that I dont need any flowers (but that doesnt mean I dont want). Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus. Ha. I told him its kind of silly that when he sent flowers to my office, I have to pick it up from the office lobby myself (due to building security), but I actually dont mind having the flowers waiting for me at the dinner table! Hee. Thats what he did on our 1st month-versary. :D No more for 3rd year?

Nevertheless, we had an enjoyable dinner celebration at Da Paolo @ Rochester Park, our fave pasta place, catching up on many many things from baby to work to our dream plans.

Outside the restaurant. This shot was actually taken after dinner. Seems like I have an orchid on my right ear but its not.

I just had to have my rocket salad with my warm bread! Yummy!

I had my fave duck liver fettuccine as usual. It was love at first 'taste' many many years back when my girlfriends (Lena & Yin Horng) and I celebrated Pey Yng's birthday (was it PY's?) at Da Paolo @ Holland. The duck liver just melted in my mouth then and still does. Though this pasta is no longer found in their menu, Da Paolo always dish it out upon request. So sweet of them. Ha. Of course la, they always charge a premium for special request but hack, I really love it and furthermore, Shawn pays! *Grin*

Shawn doesnt have a fave pasta at Da Paolo. He tries all kinds of pasta which is good for me as a sampler. But nothing beats my duck liver. Yum yum.

Picture below is kind of blur huh? Because it was taken by me. :P Shawn's camera is too heavy for my hands to hold steadily. Think he was scared I may drop his camera which explains why he has that stiff look. Ha. At least his Carbonara looks decent in the pic.

Picture below shows Shawn at Da Paolo @ Holland for our 1st wedding anniversary. Looks younger? I took him with the Canon 450D that I gave him as a surprise! Also blur right? *Opps* I'm just not good with bulky camera.

What about the below? Also taken with 450D in Bintan Kelong celebrating our 2nd anniversary. I was about 6 month pregnant then. :) Better shot huh?

I will strive to take better anniversary pic next year and onwards. But likely the pictures are not us but of our kids! Ha. But no matter what, wedding anniversary celebration is still a must. After all, its a good occasion to remind ourselves why we got married. :)

Love u my deor deor... and I know you will say 'Me too' with a kiss. *red teary eyes*
