V Day

'So what are your plans tonight?'

'Nothing planned. Going home after work, watch Amazing Race Asia and mebbe do some housework.'

'Huh? Why la?'

'Coz everything's so over priced and over commercialised ... no need to waste money la.'

Secretly though, Jo was wishing for a surprise although she told her colleagues otherwise. And a surprise she did get when Anderson came home with a modest bouquet of roses and left them on the piano for her to discover :)

We dined at The Ship and settled for the set dinner which was an ok affair. Ok because the atmosphere was a little too army-style with the captain constantly giving orders to the waiters to bring out the next course. It felt a little hurried, a little rushed. Mind you, there was even a notice reminding diners of a 45 minute time limit to give room to other customers waiting in line!

But we had each other for company so that was enough to make up for it. Plus the food was enjoyable and we got to warm the chairs for over an hour.

Our main meal of steak and tiger prawns served with potato wedges and steamed vegetables and our creamy chocolate sponge cake dessert

We made it back on time for Amazing Race and eagerly waited to find out who the winner would be over wine and chips. (The Singaporean boys won by the way.) American Idol was on next so we spent the rest of our waking hours sprawled out on the couch in what would be our first Valentine's day as Mr and Mrs.
