2013 Anniversary - Champagne Brunch at Greenhouse, Ritz Carlton

Meimei brought us to Ritz Carlton Greenhouse for their Sunday Vintage Champagne Brunch. This is the pinnacle of brunch, with free flowing champagne and assortment of cocktails like margaritas and red wine. And it wasn't the selection of alcohol which attracts, but also the selection of seafood. They had eight different varieties of oysters, cooked lobsters in butter and herb, scallops, prawns, trays of sashimi and sushis. The list is endless, they even had fifty types of cheese and that had an endless stream of angmohs queuing for it haha.

The other foods didn't disappoint as well. The lobster was cooked well and had adequate seasoning. Definitely better than the cool ones they serve at Meltz. I think the other thing that made it a memorable experience was the drinks. Very seldom do I get a chance to drink during a meal since I drive. So because of this, we took a cab to Ritz. 

The highlight though has to be the Foie Gras. It was so good that between the two of us, we had like ten servings of it. It's just simply heavenly. And it goes very well with the champagne and bread. The last time I had it was four years ago on proposal night. Getting the first bite brought memories of that wonderful night that Meimei said yes to our journey. Thank you *kiss!

Hello Kitty Madness 2013

Meow Meow ~ Meow Meow ~, what's so attractive about this kitty? This little kitten makes everyone loose every sense of logic. The first few ones were sold out end of the first day. They even launch one for delivery only and jammed the whole system.

We were lucky enough on Frog Prince to reach early at 7.50am and managed to get into the drive-thru queue at Alexandra. By the next Ugly Duckling kitty, I couldn't get into the drive-thru queue no more. So I parked my car nearby and jumped into the human queue, which had already snaked right out the store entrance. By the time I reach the counter, it was already forty minutes later. Thankfully Meimei was out of town so she didn't have to wait. *kiss the things guys do to make their babies smile.

2013 Anniversary Gift for Her

It's that day of the year again, another wonderful year of togetherness in marital harmony hehehe. Armed with the last experience of buying jewelry, I went with diamonds this time. I've learned you can never go wrong with the blink. So off I went hunting for a gift. I had on my mind to get her a pendant or a bracelet. After browsing several jewelers, it's obvious diamond laced bracelets are out of my price range. So I targeted pendants instead, specifically those with cross motifs.  


So I went with a diamond cross (adding to 0.56 carats) with simple claw design to allow the blink to come through and a 18k white gold box necklace. Definitely looks much more presentable than the previous garnet necklace I got.

These didn't come cheap but hey, it's all worth it when you see that bright glowing smile on her face!

Haze like a Maze

This is the worst haze in years. The first bad sign came in midweek when it went up to 321 psi at night. It was reeking the smell of haze even in the air con bedroom at night. It was a good thing Meimei is in Switzerland with Mama and Sis. She tells me she's breaking cow-poop laden fresh air ... hahaha.

HR announce on Thursday that for employee safety, all staff are allowed to work from home from Friday. Hmmm, the air in the office is so much better without the charred burned smell. And true enough, everyone was in office on Friday. It's just more comfortable to work in the office then cramped up at home.

It eventually hit a high of 400+ on Friday afternoon. Keith and I went around to various stores in Vivo and Marina but all were out of purifiers. The sales persons were saying even the displays sets were all sold by Wednesday ... This is like a pandemic ... everyone is hoarding N95 masks, buying purifiers and even dehumidifiers which isn't really of any help at all simply because of panic.

Seriously everyone, chill ... yes it is bad but do we really need such hysteria?
