The Day He Turned Another Year Older.

Wah celebrated his birthday today. One year older, one year wiser – I hope. :P

He isn’t really into birthday celebration so we didn’t make anything big. I baked a batch of his favourite blueberry lemon muffins during the day and got some really nice beef to stir-fry for dinner. Little niece insisted that there should be a ceremony so she could sing the birthday song – in fact, we think she is the happiest when someone’s birthday is approaching. She has been worrying that since Wah is so old there could be too many candles for a cake. LOL.

So we had a little ceremony with the muffin and a candle + cake topper instead. The little event planner was happy. :)

Five Years Together.

We celebrated our fifth year together by spending the day at ASTRO’s internal Earth Day Initiative, paying Dr Chan of AnimalCare a visit, having dinner with my uncle and aunt, and then a little shopping at IKEA.

Can you believe it’s been 5 years since we were together? Time does fly – eeek!

 

Belated Birthday Cake.

Wah was supposed to cut and taste this Cheesecake Brownies I made for him when he came back on Saturday, but didn’t get around doing it because we had to attend a charity dinner that night, and he was too full to eat another piece of anything. The next morning, everyone else has tasted this rich-chocolaty cake except him because he slept until noon. So the birthday boy was the last one to have a piece of his own cake.

Meh! He is not so much into birthday celebration anyway.

Own Celebration.

I wanted to take a photo of the dogs blowing off the candles, but it has been raining non-stop since the afternoon – which also means two very disapproving dogs because they can’t go for a walk, not even a short one I sometimes take with them when Wah is away.

Yeah, Wah is away and today is his birthday. Happy birthday, partner. :)

4th Year Together.

Monday marked the 4th year me and Wah were together. For the record, he didn’t remember our anniversary. Just about a week ago I gave him chances to guess the date, and he spent the whole night guessing all WRONG.

Oh well. You gotta say it to get what you want. So I had to resolve telling him the date. YES, OUR ANNIVERSARY DATE.

We settled lunch by finishing all leftover rice, broccoli, and bean sprout in the fridge. Now I have to make a note that he is an awesome cook. Even with that funny combination, we had a nice meal. :)

He decided to bring me to Daorae later in the evening. I suggested steamboat buffet as we could eat as much as we want but he thought Daorae would be perfect. The place was nice. The crews were nice. Our only problem was that the BBQ thingy at our place wasn’t working, so the crew had to resolve grilling from another table for us. No big deal except that we missed the fun of looking at it all pzzzttt.

The food was good, and we made a mistake of ordering a plate of beef, a plate of pork, and a plate of chicken. With the pancake thingy on the house, I’m pretty sure we can feed at least another person (or two!) with all these!

Of course, as expected, the bill came like a bomb. But Wah said it’s worth it as we both had a great time.

I’m always grateful that although we don’t earn a fortune, he would always spend his best on me. Happy Anniversary – and I hope I don’t have to remind you next year! ;)
