The fiance's 26th birthday yesterday went great even though I didn't surprise him with anything. It was dinner at our favourite joint, Straits Kitchen. We've been there a few times for different occasions since it's opening. We initially thought of Carousel cos he's not eaten there before but the food's so-so. Nothing special to me. Tiffany's pretty normal too. So it's back to Straits Kitchen! Never fails to satisfy us!

The night ended at 3 this morning. And during those hours I was with him, I must have wished him Happy Birthday like a gazillion times! Haha. His birthday's important to us cos it brings back sweet, old memories. Next important event of the month is our anniversary. I've not planned anything for it which is unlike the other 8 anniversaries. I think we've grown out of the 'surprise' celebration for birthdays and anniversaries. Instead we go for romantic dinners and indulge more in us-time. Ultimately, it's the time spent together that's important, even if it was just listening to each other's heartbeats. And over the years, we have adopted the shop-for-prezzie-together scheme. Haha. It's much easier and more satisfying this way.

However, somehow, being a girl, I'm not sure if it's a girl thing, I'm still thinking of ways to surprise him on our anniversary. What is it that I can do to make this 9th anniversary a special one? I'm left with approximately 24 hours to think of the possibilities. Oh and of course, deciding on the ideal place to eat becomes mind-boggling too.

Help?
