Our Celebration of that Day

Chris planned an early start to our day. I awoke at 8am.
After washing up, I saw my present on the table! The night before he had picked me up after a flower delivery and I saw a brand new Arai helmet inside the bike box and was like 'Is this my present? No right??' So I was happy to see the real gift there. Heh!

I took out my gift for him but I knew he already knew what was inside. He received the parcel when I was not around and the parcel indicated the contents! I gave him a coin pouch I got from Etsy. But I had painstakenly rubberstamped the wrapper and wrapped it nicely with a blue ribbon.

I unwrapped his gift for me and was simply ecstatic to see the mustard yellow Porter bag that I'd always wanted! I was so surprised and happy and just absolutely loved it. I never bought it cos it was too expensive. :P I told Chris he should've bought it in Japan where it was cheaper.

We headed off a bit late on Chris' new 'old' Africa Twin bike straight to the Causeway and continued our journey for almost 100km to Desaru. It was a long journey and very tiring and dirty. When we reached, the unfortunate thing was that the sky had turned gloomy and was already drizzling slightly.

Chris had planned a day at the beach there for us but the weather was just bad. We had lunch at Pulai Desaru which had the classiest looking logo of the lot. His Windows burger was bad while I went for the safe Malay food of Nasi Goreng with Sambal chilli. Mine was okay but could be better.

We took a short walk to the beach in the slight drizzle after lunch and took a few lame photos of ourselves at the beach. Hung around the lobby a while and then headed back to Singapore! Talk about being lame! Hahaha...

On the way back I was so lethargic I was dozing off and it got a bit dangerous. But thanks to God, we safely reached home and had to feed PorkChop immediately. He was very hungry by then (almost 5pm!). We had dinner at about 8plus and Chris surprised me to a place I've always wanted to go but have not gone in a long while - DOME! We went to the one at Dempsey. It's surprising that I did not guess that venue when I commented how I missed their sandwiches when we passed by it looking for a parking lot.

I was really happy and we had a nice dinner at a decent price. We finished things off with a gorgeous chocolate ice cream cake that had the perfect mix of cake and ice cream and perfect blend of bitter and sweet from the taste of the chocolate.
