Jinah's Housewarming

Went to Jinah's housewarming after Jolie woke up from her nap. Her place at the famous Duxton was finally ready! I must say I was really surprised. Cobby and I actually considered Duxton during our house hunting before we got married. Looking at the show flat then, I just felt that the rooms were too tight and the price too steep for a tiny place like that.

But looking at Jinah's place really made me felt a little envious. The place looked very stylish, very modern, very clean and very neat. Even with the giant live Christmas tree taking up half the living room floor space. Suddenly my place looked like a dumpster, buried in toys and dust that I just can't seem to get rid of. It's like each time I put something away, something else would be placed there.

Anyway, the place looked great. I think she combined 2 rooms together, so the master bedroom looked very spacious. The place was quite windy too! I was sneezing away after standing in the windy corridor for 15 mins.

Apart from the disgustingly beautiful home, (Jinah, If you're reading this, I meant it as a compliment)it was great catching up with some ex-colleagues / old friends. Gillin and family was there, which totally caught me off guard as she's always busy being a full time Mom to 2 girls. Brenda was there too with her handsome little round-eyed prince.

We didn't even have the time to go up to the top deck as we have made reservations for dinner, to make up for the crappy dinner we had yesterday. So we just took one photo with the hostess and bid our farewell.



That night we ate dinner at Bistro Du Vin (finally) and called it a day.

Happy 5th ROM Anniversary

Its a special day today, Cobby and I have been legally married for 5 years! Yup, 5 years ago we signed our fate at our home and started being Mister and Missus Tang. :) How time flies!

So what did we get each other this year? I got him a brand new belt, to "tie" him up to me! :) He got me a very nice new watch from BALMAIN, which is a Swiss made watch under the Swatch group. Nice, just what I needed as my Guess watch was falling apart. :)



Before we went out for breakfast at our favourite prata place, I thought that it would be a good idea to take a family photo to commemorate our anniversary!



After a very filling breakfast we went home and hung out. I think we ate lunch at home, let Jolie take her afternoon nap before heading out for a nice dinner in the evening. We planned to dine at Bistro Du Vin, where I ate with my friends recently. On the way to Orchard Road, we got stuck in traffic! And since Jolie got hungry, I had to feed her her dinner in the car. By the time we got there, Jolie was done with her dinner. Haha...

Just when we thought that we could finally have our dinner, the restaurant was fully booked for the whole night! I didn't realise that they would be so 'hot', so I didn't make any reservations! So disappointed! But since we're in Orchard Road, we should be able find food right? So we just wandered around and soaked in the Christmas mood!




We walked pass The Coffee Club just outside Wheelock Place and thought it would be a great place to dine! The evening was quite cool and Orchard Road was so pretty, the Al Fresco restaurant was perfect!



Our dinner... Well, it wasn't very good, but the place was quite nice...



Jolie's dinner. No lah, it's her Dad's.



Enjoyable anyway...



On the way back to the car, we couldn't resist the gelato store outside shaw. YUMZ!





A sweet ending to a special day...



Our car was parked above Shaw House, and our lot was overlooking the Orchard Road junction. Pretty right?



So ends our day, a simple family affair, and it's the 1st time we celebrated together with our baby, Jolie. I wonder how we would celebrate next year, and with who? :)
