Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

I just came home from Ritz Carlton. =p
Heh. My parents, sister and I spent a night at Ritz Carlton Millenia.
We checked in at around 5plus yesterday evening. Heh. The room is super super cool! My sister and I shared a room which faces the expressway. The view is freaking nice! You can see cars zooming past on the expressway. Heh. Its like a dream come true to me. A dream that took more than a year. It sort of reminded me and my ex when we were supposed to spend the night at Ritz Carlton after my prom night but we broke up the day of my prom, so it was a dream that didn't realize until last night.
The toilet of the room is ultra nice. =D The bathtub is by the window facing the expressway, the shower has 3 different functions that shoots water out in 3 different ways etc. Its simply a luxurious bathroom. Heh. Even the hair-dryer is made in Italy and is super nice to use! Heh. Everything in the room is almost perfect. Hah.
My family and I went out for dinner at Marina Square. Hah. My parents haven't really been there before, so we went to walk around there. We had dinner at "Dian Xiao Er". The food is great. Heh. We had a 7 course dinner that costs around 68 bucks. Their roast duck is really very nice! The skin is crispy while the meat is tender. Heh. We did some shopping at Marina Square and went over to Millenia Walk.
I brought my parents and sister to my favourite shop, Earl. Heh. Because I have been eyeing on this particular shirt for a long-g long-g time. As usual, aunt Caroline was manning the shop. She seemed really tired. Heh. Anyways, I managed to get my parents to buy the shirt for me!! Heh. The shirt cost 170 bucks. I paid 90 bucks and my parents paid 80 bucks. Heh. The only disappointing fact was that the shirt hanging was the only last piece left, so there wasn't any brand new piece. But its alrite =D Heh. My mum told me specifically that I am not to wear that shirt until Chinese New Year day itself. *sad* Cause I wanna try out the shirt first to see which jeans it goes better with. Heh. Oh wells. =D
After buying the shirt, we went over to Candy Empire. Heh. We bought some cookies as it was on offer and some honey roasted cashew nuts. =D Then we walked over to Carrefour at Suntec City. We bought a bottle of red wine and some sushi. Heh. Then we had ice-cream at Ben & Jerry's. We had 3 different scopes of ice-cream -- Cookies & Cream, Peanut Butter and Chunky Monkey (My favourite flavour). It was 9pm already and we made our way back to Ritz Carlton.
Back at the hotel, we opened the bottle of red wine and ate the cashew nuts we bought earlier on. Heh. I didn't really like the red wine as it had a weird aftertaste. Hah. But the feeling was great. Lying on the sofa, watching tv (Discovery channel, National Geographic, MTV channels as I kept changing), drinking wine and eating cashew nuts and seeing the cars zooming past below on the expressway. Hah. Thats the way life should be! Relaxing...
I finally had my bubble bubble bath in the bathtub by the window overviewing the expressway. Heh. =D Its really quite a dream. Hah. I was playing with the bubble foam, scoping the foam with both my hands and blowing them off. Hah. Like some shower advertisement like that. Heh. Its fun! Heh. I think there was like too much foam until some of the foam come out of the covered-drain underneath the basin. Hah. After my bath, I changed into the bathrobe amd continued watching tv. The bathrobe is thick, warm, nice and cozy. Heh. I slept around 12am. My sister went out with some of her friends and got back at around 12 plus. The only thing which I didn't really like was the pillows. Somehow I couldn't adjust it till the height I like. Oh wells =D
Just want to say SORRY to Brendan and Nicole. Cause this morning, I was actually still deciding whether to go for service thats why I didn't pick up your calls. I guess I didn't know how to put it across to you all. Oh wells. I want to spend some time with my family also. =p Sorry for not informing you.
Anyways, we checked out at around 10 plus and walked over to Suntec City to have lunch at Crystal Jade. Heh. Too bad there wasn't enough time to go swim and gym at Ritz Carlton. Oh wells. There will be a next time, by faith. =D We had Xiao Long Baos, fried rice and la-mian. Hah. It was nice =D Then we went over to Carrefour again to buy some more groceries and we also bought Ben & Jerry's ice-cream! Hah. I got my favourite flavour-- Chunky Monkey!! heh. I simply loveee the banana taste of the ice-cream. After which, we finally made our way home. =DJust want to thank God for this opportunity to spend time with my family and making my dreams come true! Heh. Happy... =D
