that was the second of my 5th anniversary prezzie from my loving dear.
the teddy bear, originally named Princess (because we didn't have much time to think of a better name so yeah. duh i know but......) we've changed her name to Phoebe, because dear says he likes the name. and that will be the name of our first child, if it so happens to be a girl. *hee
we got her from Esplanade, this shop called Cool Bears Workshop, i think. she had to go through a "hug-test", where i had to decide if she was stuffed up enough, or if i wanted her to be harder.
then they measured her weight and height, and i even gave her a spa treatment to make her more fluffy by hair-drying her. *hee and then we got her clothes, they're real pretty! i had so much fun, especially picking her outfit and dressing her up! oh oh and i even got her a pair of pink shoes to match her pink outfit, she's sucha doll!
::see how adorable?::
:ma princess gal::
and while in the midst of all these, dear was busy writing a love note to me where he'll stuff it into the teddy bear, and wait for me to pull it out. and then, at the end of it, we prepared a birth certificate for her, with her ID number and birthdate and all. i was sucha happy girl that night!
but my poor dear had to pay so much for our lil child. it came close to a hundred bucks! BUT it was well worth it because i've promised to love her like my own. *blush
so she's happily sitting on my bed now even as we speak. that cute thing. even my pup was so jealous of her and kept wanting to bite her head off. haha!
wait, let me tell you where we went for dinner prior that night. dun faint huh?
dinner was @ Equinox Restaurant, seated on the 70th floor right at the top of the Swissotel. though i had an idea it was gonna be there, i didn't quite believe it until we were there.
i had been there before when i was a lil gal. alright, maybe not that little, say about 10 years old? my dad brought us all up there for a sumptuous buffet lunch one sunday afternoon, and i remembered how clearly we could see the whole of singapore then. now a decade has passed and the hotel has somewhat undergone a revamp and also a change of management, but still the magnificent view remains.
awesome.
::view from the top::

::our durians::
::didn't know how to switch to night mode, so this is the best liao::
the daytime was nice. when dusk came, the view was even better. the dim lighting created by the candlelights gave a romantic ambience. moreover to be accompanied by all the colorful skycrapers, dining side by side with them, dear and i had sucha wonderful time there.
first up, their bread. fresh from the oven, it was still warm when they served it.
::can't wait to get my mouth on it!::
::my handsome boy::
then for dinner, i had the set meal, while dear had a-la-carte because he wanted to try their specialty.
my set dinner consists of:
Marinated Hiramasa Kingfish
Pickled Carrot and Fennel, Tomato, Lemon Dressing
Cream of Salsify
Crayfish Brochette, Black Truffle Chantilly, Chervil
Pan-Seared Foie Gras with White Sesame Seeds
Banana Merah Salsa, Grilled Brioche Toast
Pan-Fried Tiger Prawn and Scallop
Stir-fried King Oyster Mushroom with XO Sauce Lotus Bud-Hot Bean Sauce
Strawberry and Lemon Thyme - Tartine
Bavarian Vanilla Cream and Strawberry Jelly Lemon Thyme Ice Cream
Freshly brewed tea
and dear had the:
Air-Dried Duck Breast Salad
Nectarine, Root Vegetable and Green Bean Salad Sherry-Walnut Dressing
Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Braised Cheek
Potato Mousseline, Fricassee of Mushroom, Rosemary Sauce
in all honesty, i didn't think the food was anything wow. it was so-so.
so as dinner had been the first order of the day, we headed to Esplanade and got our very first child. afterward, we walked through Citylink and went in to Gelare and had a lil supper. dear had brownie with cookies' n cream on top of it, ooooohhhhh the orgasmic feel was
amazing. and i had caeser salad. it was nice too. i had a sudden craving for smoked salmon, so i requested for additional topping. i'm sucha pig! which reminds me, i need to work out my spare tyres, i've put on weight!!!
okok, back to Equinox. before we left the place, we were told their toilets were a must-visit, and so we went.
::tried to take an overview but guess this will have to do; i loved the toilets by the way::
then as we headed back home, we kept talking about our prezzies. we had agreed earlier in the morning that we'd hide each other's prezzie in the respective rooms while the other person waits outside. then we'll write 3 clues and leave it around the room for the person to find. kinda like a treasure hunt. so as we were talking about it in the train, we kept giggling and laughing because the clues that dear gave me was so hard! i couldn't solve it at all!!! but he always gives in to me, because he loves me so much, so in the end i managed to guess the very first clue with his obvious hints. ha!
the hunt began with me finding my prezzie first in my room. after a long while, i finally found my prezzie which he so painstakingly made for me.
its a minature of our story in the beginning. its the beginning of Tezhong & Wylyn. so sweet! i couldn't stop smiling because i loved it very much, just like how i love the lil bear and my dear as well. any idea how tedious it is to do a minature thingy like that? do you know the amount of effort thrown into this prezzie? its priceless.
everything that day was so perfect! i was and still am the happiest and most blessed gal in this whole world!!!
i love you dear! thank you for making our 5th year so memorable. thank you for always making me feel so special. and thank you for loving me so much!
p.s pls let this be the last time we fine-dine, until you ORD and get yourself a real job, ok? =)
