Whoa, been a really busy month! Recently I've been working my ass off daily. Tight deadlines, endless list of to-do items, and a missing colleague. But well, work's like that. Ok, enough about work.
This month is my birthday. And I know very well that Sally would plan something for me :P So weeks in advance, I told her to make it a small one. Small like you know, just a simple dinner. No presents, no trips. For two reasons - First, we gotta save alot of money for our future (well, more for our future home actually) hehe. And secondly, we had a really big and wonderful celebration last year so .. lets be a bit humble this round ha!
So Sally made an arrangements for a quiet dinner at Satsuma Shochu Dining Bar @ Gallery Hotel. I kinda like the ambiance and the food was quite good (I enjoyed the cheese-rolled pork. Yes, how can I say no to cheese). And yep, that's it for my birthday celebration. Nice, sweet and simple.
Or so I thought.
Then Sally said "Oh yeah I have something for you". Taa daa. Hehehe, I didn't quite expect a birthday gift because I ... well, I told her not to buy me anything. But she thought that it was really important to buy gifts so let's see what we have yeah?
Nicely wrapped!
Oh and it comes with a card ;)
From the look of it, I can't tell what's inside the box. If there's anything I need, it's $1,000,000 in cold hard cash. But a million dollars can't fit into that box. So I decided to just open it and see what's inside :P
Unwrapped
Nice!
A watch! A SEIKO watch to be specific.
Here's a closer look.
Can't take my eyes off it!
I love it! That's actually the last thing I'd expect to receive from her because we've been on a month-long hunt for the perfect couple watch. It's really difficult because we both have kinda different tastes for watches. Maybe she gave up and decided to just get me a watch because I always complain about the inconvenience of using my phone as a watch :P Haha.
Need to know the time? Take out my phone, remove the cover, look at the time.
Need to know the date? Take out my phone, remove the cover, look at the date.
Rinse and repeat daily.
BUT, now it's different. Need to know the date or time? Just look at my watch. LOL. Really nice. And I think the watch suits me too. Personally, I think Sally made the right choice :)
In my whole life, I have only owned 3 watches. The first one, I got it when I was 15 years old. That watch stayed with me for a good 8-9 years. My second watch was a gift from my mom just before I came to Singapore. And I actually still have it with me, although it ran out of battery already.
Looks really simple and humble
but it's one of my favourites too!
Hehe, now the third one is a gift from Sally. How sweet :D It sure takes a bit of time to get used to the new watch, but it's definitely going to make my life alot easier! :D

I'm really glad you like it. Even I can't take my eyes off them! haha!
Anyway, I get to benefit also since you'll have to be the official timekeeper from now on :) And I demand immediate response when I ask "What time is it?" *chuckles*
As usual, your blog is always humorous and brings a smile to my face. You know sometimes I wonder is it only me or all others think the same way also? hmm... :D
Love ya darling. Always do :D
