The Vow?

I like the lyrics to the song From This Moment On by Shania Twain and Bryan Adams. Maybe I will use this for the march in? Still have time to review more though....

(I do swear that I'll aways be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength,
happiness and sorrow, for better or worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

Of Style Vs. Practicality

Why does it seems just so practical to leave everything out within reach like the latest bills and magazines you were reading halfway on the coffee table. Keys and spare change too so they are easily within reach when u need to leave the house. The same goes for the vanity, i mean i need to use the same set of make-up in 24hrs and it is just much easier to have everything layed out within sight.

The convenience however irritates me too as it makes the house looks so messy! If bills and magazines goes into the study where it ought to be, it will make the living area look neater. but but what if i forget to pay the bills then cos its out of sight?

The same applies to fashion. That pain in the feet heels looks smashing with the new glam pants and blouse I bought but after an hour in it I am ready to amputate the feet to stop the pain. Flats and ballet pumps just do not make one look stylish and professional with a tinge of sexy.

Sigh....life's contradictions.

Bling Poochies

the new blingalicious poochies from Swarovski!!

the bulldog (1st roll) is so chubby and I think the pin will make a cute statement too. too bad they did not do one of my fav breed. $$$ not spent = money saved.

Wedding Favors to Keep

we have often gone to weddings and find the favors left on the tables after the guests have left. the reason is simple. many a times the favors are boring (chocs that are not exactly nice) or repetitive (i have seen too many bear hp straps, ceramic containers with some yucky flower designs, blah blah). But if I were to attend a wedding that gives favors like the below, u can be sure i will leave with it cramped snuggly into my evening bag =)

Birthday Treat - il Lido

26th Jun 2008, Thursday
we were both on leave =) so happy to have a day off work!

it was not a lazy day though as we had to wake up early to send the mini for servicing and rushed back by 10am to wait for the contractors to rectify the sliding kitchen door and toilet cabinet. left 6 mths of the warantty period yeah so we had to do all the repair possible.

we feasted on the Goodwood durian pastries that the man had sneaked home last night. yummilious! visited Traders Hotel and then to the surprise dinner venue that the man had in mind. smart me knew where we were going the moment he travelled along tiong bahru haha.

the view and where we sat

the lounge area at sunset

our starters a la carte fresh oysters *drool*

I had the Summer Truffle Set (June Special)

• Scallop Carpaccio with Balsamic Vinegar Dressing and Truffles
• Gratinated White Asparagus with Poached Eggs and Truffles
• Parmigiano Cheese Rissoto with Red Wine and Truffle
• Roast Jumbo Quail with Truffle Cream Potatoes
• Dark Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry Heart & Truffle Honey

The man had the Menu Classic

• Pan Roasted Goose Liver with Green Apple, Honey & Hazelnut Sauce
• Homemade Spaghetti with Live Lobster
• Cod Fillet with Pistachio Nut Crust, Green Apple and Squid Ink
• Molten Lava Chocolate Cake with Sardinian Saffron Sauce & Wild Raspberry Sorbet

the Pan Roasted Goose Liver was to die for! After stealing a few bites from the man, we ordered another order a la carte. it was that GOOD. Orgasmic! thinking of it now makes me salivate already. It has a very mild flavor when you first taste it then as your chew and swallow, the full flavor hits you from the back of your tongue and you feel in total bliss! Coupled with the slightly sour tinge of the apple, it is not overly rich or oily unlike others we have had. A Must Try.

the man loved the live lobster spaghetti, unique rich seafood taste. the truffle cream potatoes were so delicious, i was swaying with every bite. i am not really a fan of the molten lava cake but this one really hit the spot. the cake was slightly crunchy and the molten choc was of such good quality that i just reached over and finished half of the man's dessert =P.

The meal was so good that I forgot to take the pictures of every item. hehe...thanks darling, i loved the meal, it was just divine!
