Last week was Sally's birthday. We celebrated earlier on a weekend so that we can have the whole day to ourselves. Since we're both on super-savings mode now (for our wedding and house), celebration also have to tone down abit la :P
Fortunately, a small celebration is not necessarily uninteresting. Haha. So, Sally came down to town around lunch time because I wanted her to have enough sleep. Then, instead of my usual tricks of hiding things around, I left her a self-made birthday card on the table. And inside, a list of dates (important dates!) of the memorable milestones in our almost-two-year-old mushy relationship!
Kick start budget celebration with Gummy!
When I wrote down the list, it didn't all just come naturally from my memories. Two years is a long time, so I had to dig, double-check and confirm the dates were right from MSN chat histories, SMS messages, blog entries (here!), letters, train tickets, etc. And some from the dark recesses of my subconscious mind. But I still got one of the dates wrong (the xmas eve event), which was quickly spotted by Sally. Oh well. :P My bad.
For lunch, we went to Crystal Jade, which we both love for its steamboat, minced chicken with tofu and fatty pork :D
After that we went to Cathay for Toy Story 3! Now, the first two movies were shown so long ago I even cannot remember their storylines. Not that it matters anyway :P
Highlight of the day is our dinner of course! I did a little bit of research to find a nice, quiet place for the both of us. And I wanted something different. So I brought Sally to the Old Parliament House to have Vietnamese cuisine @ Viet Lang. Not too bad at all! Nice and cozy couple seat. We had their unique Imperial rolls, braised cod fish and mango salad with shrimp. Here's some pictures, though I missed out most of the food :P
On the outside!
On the inside!
The mango salad with shrimp :P
Both of us sitting on a nice and cozy seat!
Our second year together is about a week from now. Let's see how I can plan for another small and nice celebration :)

Big celebration or small celebration doesn't matter as long as we are together. :)
