Wedding Anniversary

This post comes rather late but we celebrated our wedding anniversary around 3 weeks back. The earlier part of the day was spent bringing Kendrick out for some family activity as Dear was not able to take leave on Kendrick's actual birthday. In the afternoon, after dropping Kendrick at my in law's place, we headed home for a short rest before going down to Chinatown to look see. Ha Ha. Seems like a yearly ritual now. It was still a bit early to look for Chinese New Year stuff at Chinatown, but we still managed to get some decors to spruce up our home :)

After that, we had a simple Italian dinner at this restaurant in China Square. It was indeed nice to have some couple time and chit chat about stuff without Kendrick around to make us busy! Ha Ha! Well, cheers to many more years of our marriage!!

Happy New Year 2010!

We did something slightly different this New Year's Eve - we booked a room with a harbour view at Swissotel The Stamford so that we could catch the fireworks display from our room! So it was a 1 day 1 night 'stay-cation' for our family :)

On the day itself, we checked into our room some time in the afternoon, then brought Kendrick for some kite flying at the Singapore Flyer area. After that, we all took a nap before having a late dinner and settling back into the hotel room preparing for the countdown. My parents came down to join us for a while too. With the late afternoon nap, Kendrick was able to sustain all the way till 12.30am eventually! Yup, he managed to catch the fireworks and even remembered them the next morning when he woke up!

Well, Happy New Year 2010 and may it be a blessed and smooth year ahead....

We took this before the fireworks started as we knew Kendrick would be too distracted to take a shot when the fireworks started. So here's the view from our balcony
One of the nicer fireworks shot!
