Thanks to my dear Aunt and her helper, Dan and I managed to steal some couple-time alone for three days and two nights! It was great as we had time to spend together alone without having to handle the two kids and their burst of all-day-long energy.
On the first day we went to pig out at Copthorne Hotel for their buffet which has free-flow fresh oysters and SASHIMI!!!!! SUPER YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!! then we just took our time to sit down and have coffee together and just talk. It was great to have the leisure of time on our side and just enjoying each other's company. Hmmmm...pigging out and yakking seems to go well together!
We managed to catch a late show after FIVE years!!! The show ended about 12+ am and it felt surreal going home so late that even the last bus was not around. Felt a bit nostalgic too as it reminded us of our dating and couplehood times before our little bubs came along. But in the middle of the movie my phone rang and it was Jedi looking for us. He wanted us to pray for him before he slept and kept asking my aunt why we didn't come to pick him up and give him his goodnight kiss and hug! So we gave him a virtual pray, kiss and hug via the phone and went back to the movie. hee our little 'lampost'!!!
The kiddies though had a great time with my aunt and her helper who was ever doting over them! She showered them with much love and care and we were able to enjoy ourselves without worrying about them. We ended our mini retreat with dinner with my aunt and her family. Jedi and Krisa had a special treat from Ikea...fries and nuggets! That explains the beaming and contented faces. Just realised that Krisa likes to hide in corners when she has something she really treasures! Guess that is where she thinks she can enjoy without Jedi coming to tease her!
Thanks so much Ah-kor for giving us this mini-retreat to help us to have time together as a couple. It means alot to us and its much much appreciated! Thanks too for loving our kiddies even when they were whiny, grouchy and competing with each other for attention! *hugz* They love you very much too!
