25.09 marks the 9 years anniversary for the mr ng and me as husband and wife!
given its peak period for him at work, we didn't take leave on fri to celebrate. instead, we had a staycation planned some time back for yesterday - at St Regis!
as the elder son was not feeling too well still, we checked him into #hotelgrandma while the younger boy was more than happy to join us for the celebration.
tsk tsk. talking about a life-size lightbulb. but both the husband and I agreed that it has been great spending quality time with him yesterday. we have been doing lots of that with YZ when YR was younger..so perhaps it's fair to do so with him now.
after dropping YZ @ my mum's place, we headed out to tanglin shopping centre for our late lunch. lunch was at steeple's deli which is this kinda old school and retro looking deli place that serves the usual stuff - burgers, milkshakes, all-day brekkie etc.
the food aint half bad but hubbi was really pleased with the nostalgic décor of the place. oh, their milkshakes were pretty good!
after lunch, time to check-in! the hotel room is very generous with space and I was especially pleased with the couch for us to laze on when watching (cartoon network....) with the boy!

lovely room!
photo-taking time! the husband is .... *meh*
wefie time with mini-me!
we lazed for an hour or so before heading out. saw a new museum cum eatery - M.A.D has set up shop where da vinci furniture shop used to be so we headed there.
M.A.D stands for museum of art and design and they have some lovely contemporary art pieces there for sale!
we spent some good time there and YR was curious and interested in some of the art work! after that, we took a slow stroll to heart of town and I was pleasantly surprised to see Dali works on display along the stretch outside wheelock place! what a great afternoon getting close to art. :D

we headed to forum in early evening as I've made reservations for our dinner @ Jamie's Italian. our virgin experience @ vivo's branch aint too bad so I wanted to give it another try. but sadly, this time round, all the food was mediocre at best! even the husband who loves steak so much didn't want to finish the steak!
I think this will be my last time eating @ Jamie's Italian. seriously not impressed by the experience and hubbi was very zzz at wasting his calories here...
oops, maybe we should have tried hana restaurant @ forum instead?
fancy décor but food was disappointing sadly
the younger boy was very good at self-entertaining, oblivious to all my cuddling, heh.
looks good but rather blah...
we headed back to hotel after dinner for the boy wanted to have his "playtime" in the bathtub! gosh, I wonder this staycation is for him or us!
the rest of night was spent watching tv together as a family sans the elder boy. and we like it this way - how boring can we be huh?
and I bought myself a wristcandy too! a leather cuff from this multi-label store @ wheelock- threadbare & squirrel. it's from a HK designer - nobeing and I've been eyeing it for 1-2 months? since this is bonus month, I should be treating myself, no? accessories are so hard to resist nowadays!
see, how lovely!
