It was hubby's birthday last Sunday, but we had an earlier celebration on Saturday, as Saturday always seem much hopeful to us.
It is not easy for hubby every year, and he needs to crack his brain before he knows the suprise. :P
So before everything get started, let's BRAINSTORM (one of the words i hate most).
Hubby got to receive a clue everyday 1 week before his birthday, and by Saturday he will need to arrange them out into a sentence. Hubby must be anxious to know as he guessed the answer pretty fast!
Dinner at Sheraton Tower! Without further delay, we set off to our destination and were delighted to be seated near the man-made waterfall.
The ambience was classy and soothing. We were checking out the buffet line when we noticed the waitor placed some smoky stuff on our table.
me: eh what is this? I don't think we ordered.
Waiter: oh this Seafood Platter comes with the buffet for every table.
Struggling to hide my grin, i sat and explored the Seafood Platter, with white smoke oozing out in the centre from the dry ice. It included generous portion of crayfish, prawns, mussels and jellyfish. It was served cold, which was not something we usually like. Trying to be innovative, we dropped those very fresh crayfish and friends into the hot Ginseng Chicken soup, taken from the buffet. And the results was Superb!!
We noticed the rise of Pasta section in more and more buffet nowadays. Seems like this is the 'in' thing. It was very interesting to me watching the chefs cooking such a mini serving of pasta. And i really appreciated the small portion, so that we could save our appetite for a lot more delicacies.
Though the buffet wasn't very diverse in the choices, the dinner was still fulfilling as it was another new place we tried out.
Toward the end of the dinner, a very satisfied hubby was playing with his dessert while i took a shot of him wearing his birthday present. :D

Since the first mtv hubby made for our Hokkaido honeymoon trip, we decided that this is a good way to remember our trips. If picture speaks a thousand words, then moving pictures should be at least a few words more? :P
Presenting yet another "full of me" mtv ~ magic melbourne.
For your viewing pleasure :D

Lately, my life revolves around work and never-ending assignments. I really thought I will appear in black & white mode as my life has no colours.
Few weeks back, I was walking back home along the usual path, when I spotted a few "very happy" cows scattered randomly on the empty field beside my house. I stopped for a few minutes, just to look at them.
Yesterday, it was just a plain piece of lifeless grassland. And today, it suddenly look so much better. Although the flat 2-Dimenion cows couldn't roam around or do much, but they just liven up the whole place.
It was not my first time seeing these famous cows, who went around occupying empty lands, but it was really my first time taking a closer and longer look at them. Usually it was just brief encounter while travelling in car, and very often I did not give a second thoughts about them.
Some give silly grins, some with straws in their mouths, and some others stick out their tongues.
Somehow, they just made me very happy too. :)
On any other days, I would have swear under the hot sun while walking this long, boring, shelter-less path.
But this day, I'm rather glad taking this same old path, with the accompaniment of a few new members.
So actually, happiness can be simple, i learnt.
