It's been 7 years!! Sept 3rd, 2007

Last Saturday Jin arranged for our 7th anniversary getaway. he wanted the day to be a surprise so everytime I asked him about it, he had a one word answer for me : Secret

To throw me off track, he kept saying we were going to batam..which of course I knew was not where we were going..anyway, after buying me a nice Taylor Made putter from the golf sale at Harbourfront, he handed me a blindfold in the car. kinda corny but hey, who am i to complain ..lol

He started driving around and I of course kept asking where we were going and he just said "secret" :p. then the car stopped and he had to roll down the window on my side of the car and this lady went "welcome to sentosa"..duh! the secret was out, not batam but sentosa. Jin booked us a night at the lovely Beaufort Hotel - complete with a spa package and breakfast for two.
Rooms and breakfast were ok..resort was nice as we got the refurbished garden deluxe room. the spa experience at Spa Botanica was something out of this world..voted best spa in asia, i could totally see why..we had a wonderful scrub followed by a vichy shower/aqua therapy where waterjets sprayed on us as we relaxed on our tummies after the scrub. Half an hour later, we were further pampered with a relaxing swedish massage. worth every penny!! before our spa session, we got to try out the mud spa pool - here's jin covered with mud :).

Dinner was a simple one at food republic vivo and then it was a quick hop to the cinema to catch Ratatouile..however, my dear hubby thought he clicked the submit button when he was buying the tix...so ended up, he did not and there were no more seats left to catch the show..seeing how sad he looked, I decided that dessert would cheer him up so we headed to bakerzin for their trio of tapas dessert :)

Next morning, we got up bright and early and got 2 mountain bikes from the hotel to cycle round the island..it was very calming and peaceful and so fun to see the doggies happily running around the water edge. After an hour of being outdoors, we headed back to fill our tummies with breakfast. Too bad we had to check out a little early as we had the merdeka party to plan ...all in all, it was a wonderful weekend..thanks jin :))
