Valentine's Day @->-- Wild Rocket!
What an AWESOME valentine's day we had!
It started off in the morning and I was up and running; preparing my X-LARGE card, deciding what to wear for this very special occasion whilst reading the newspapers and eating my breakfast! Haha! Talk about multitasking! Once everything was prepared, I then set off for my first destination; the florist! Armed with my bag slinging on my shoulder and walking along the pavement, basking in the sunlight but yet comforted by the soothing breeze, I made my way to the bus stop and low and behold; the bus arrived shortly!!!
Upon reaching the florist, I was amazed by the no of people who have ordered a bouquet or bouquets of flowers from them as there was a LOOOONNNGG QUEUE! HAHA! People of all ages; or rather should I say men of all ages collecting flowers from the counter staff who looked rather bemused by the huge turn out; there was certaintly no pinch felt in the pocket in many including myself as we shell out our pay cheques to purchase the MOST BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET for our partners! As for myself, I purchased the most beautiful bouquet thus far in my entire life; second only to the Proposal bouquet because that one cannot be compared! But this one is named the aqua bouquet which basically has a bag of water warpped underneath so that the flowers are able to survive longer and the best part was THE EXCELLENCE THAT WAS PUT INTO creating this product.Awesome. Even today I still think it is awesome. Sometimes, an awesome attitude just amazes you for a few days!
After collecting the flowers, I carried to stage 2 of the plan which is to surprise my darling by setting up her room with my uniquely thoughout creations! hahaha....well, my main and only intention was to really make her feel loved and blessed because she is God's gift to me! So a lot of thought placed into the entire process. :) When Dear dear was ushered into her room by me..hahaha..she was moved to tears by what she saw and I am sure it is not just the physical arrangement but the intangibles such as the thought put into the planning and my efforts. But at this point of time, I want to give all glory to God because without HIM, we won't be believers in the same church in the first place, let alone being together forever! PRAISE GOD!
GOD is truly so amazing I tell you...sometimes we don't see His hand and we panicked; calling out His name and praying through and being faithful but God is and will always be the most faithful of all because He never gave up on us even when we are rebellious in our thoughts, actions, words, deeds and attitude! He is great because He is the only God in all religions globally that says "I love you; and because I love you; I send my only begotten son to die for your sins!" Who else ever said that? All I knew while growing up was to be afraid of gods because they would be angry if I didn't do this or that or meet a requirement but it wasn't the case with Abba GOD!
Truly awesome, Truly Amazed. Thoroughly Convicted.
In the evening, after watching the movie "Chasing a star" starring Andy Lau and Shu Qi which itself was quite a great show and I cannot believe that Andy Lau still looks so young! Really, i mean even if you factor in the possible articifical substances that were used but I firmly believe that it's because he worked out and kept fit! That kept me thinking! I want to be as fit as I can while passing thorough the decades of my life...20, 30, 40, 50, 60..... :)
What more can an evening end by having dinner at the gorgeous scenic and sumptously gratifying WILD ROCKET!!!
Wow wow wow..i tell you..my first impression of this place...doesn't look like typical downtown singapore at all! Resided on Mount Emily, this restaurant external settings seems like a town or scene taken off the coastal areas of France! Accompanied by the setting sun and cool breeze, we arrived in our ahem..toyota crown...ok now it can't be france..so why not...japan? hee...we went into the restaurant and wow wow wow! limited seating arrangements means increased exclusivity and it means thicker romance in the atmosphere! :)
So awesome! The service of the staff was good although it could have been prompter. BUT this single negative experience cannot negate the many positives that WE DERIVED FROM IT! Nice ambience, good food, watching sun set, un-singaporean feel...wonderful and fulfilling dinner! We both gave it 8 stars out of 10! Only losing to Jiang Nan Chun; a cantonese restaurant!!
Truly God is the first valentine and I just want to tell myself; to love dear always and every single day to the best of my ability; as much as how God loves me. Dear, thank you very much for putting in the effort in making the wonderful and amazing card for me and I really like it very much because it's a tangible representation of your love to me!!!!!! Yay!
Unconditional love. Unlimited blessings.
Truly God is LOVE-PERSONIFIED and I thank God for my lovely dearie darling! Muacks dear!
Let's make everyday a valentine day shall we my dear? :)
