I choke on my guilt whenever I think of the pain I put him through despite us not even being an item yet. How naive I was back then to have thought that my 2 exes could have loved me better than he does and that we would work out. His love for me was so patient & selfless it finally bears fruits; I came to the realization that deepest regret would be a part of my life's script if I were to continue treating him as a mere safe harbour.
Endless history but this post isn't dedicated to the past but to the present 1.11.13, our 5th Anniversary. It's not a symbolization of the number of years we've been together but all the obstacles we've managed to overcome together and emerging as a stronger duo.
12AM gift exchange.
The handmade card with heartfelt words written from him to me. As compared to some who shower their other halves with luxurious/extravagant gifts, we believe in the sincerity put into each and every single DIY gift and ntm our gifts are the One and Only.
He had that day's programs all lined up but due to his finger's injuries, the trip to Adventure Cove had to be cancelled and replaced to another day when his finger fully recovers.
So he booked the tickets to S.E.A Aquarium.
Simple brunch time at Vivo before heading to the Aquarium.
Knowing that Vivo has Fruit Paradise, I had to sink my teeth into their tarts for the second time. The first time I had the delicious tart piled with colorful juicy looking fruits was during one of my 'alone' times.
Taking the monorail into Sentosa.
Before stepping into the aquarium, there's a history and cultural trail you will have to pass through. Somewhat like youtube's compulsory ads, except this may be slightly more interesting(?)
Reminds me of polly pocket, one of my favorite childhood toys.
On an ancient boat where again we had to watch a video depicting the ancient times. For half the time, I wasn't paying attention.
To me, the 4D boat 'ride' was the sole thing that had my attention span caught.
TADAH
The crowd is only this intimidating when everyone exits the theatre after the boat ride. Thereafter, everyone dispersed & ventured onto their own paths.
"This one must instagram. Wah, swam too fast la! YES, I got a nice shot, enough already."
Corals, you can't be this beautiful, NO!
"Don't judge me by my top, look underneath me & you will see the cutest smiley face."
While queuing up for the 'meet & touch' session, we saw an interesting sticker on the wall

Since I couldn't touch dolphins, starfish is fine too. Looks are deceiving. I've always thought that starfish is soft & silky until then I realized it's the complete opposite.
Harmless baby sharks. Too scaly for my liking. I've chills at the thought of their skin against mine.
Flimsy looking sea creature.
Mandatory shot.
Wriggly worms.
PRESENTING MY FAVORITE DOLPHINS
LOOK HOW PLAYFUL THEY ARE. Swimming upside down.
And their constantly sheepish grinning faces and eyes. Ahhh, too adorable I wanna dive right in & swim my days & nights away with them!
Then the monstrous looking crabs.
Suppose this is the boss.
Then this is the attention seeking one. What's up with the twist? So vain. Saw people flashing out their cameras and phones then wanna pose and all. HAHA
Colorful jellyfishes.
Plunging right down.
We sat here for close to an hour gazing at this large glass panel that contains so many sea creatures. Apart from gazing at these, we gazed at people too, more of making harmless jokes at the expense of others.
I'm no dainty lady who wears the most feminine dress you can find hence fine dining has never been my cup of tea. Enjoying food is my forte, but it's the environment of fine dining that makes me feel suppressed, it's as if I've to watch every move of mine. Even every laughter of mine has to be kept at its minimal so as to not cause any disturbance (especially when I'm one who laughs like king kong. Why suppress your happiness right?). Oh, call me a barbarian, but the food portion would have been sufficient for me when I was a toddler (ps: we went to Malaysia Food Street after this).
But, knowing how he planned out everything just to make me feel like a princess tug at every vein lying within my heart. But little does he know he doesn't have to go to such expense to make me feel this way.
Real beauty beyond the glass windows. The most beautiful dining view I've personally experienced.
Complimentary appetizer.
Lobster soup with generous fat chunks of lobster meat.
Fresh oyster tasting which I like all the 3 different sauces that are equally compatible with the juicy oysters.
My main: Salmon with Hokkaido scallop.
His main.
Our dessert: Mont Blanc with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
With the price tags, it's within expectation that the dishes are worth patronizing.
I can come up with the cheesiest line that sends chills down your spine but none of those descriptive words come close to describing the love & passion I contain for you, for this story of ours. You know I'll keep on fighting alongside with you, even without any armour or sword cause I trust you to protect me against all odds. We'll be like Romeo & Juliet without the tragic ending. We shall have no ending.
To eternity & beyond is too shallow so _______
