Orangeous Dailies

Just swinging her around!

While most couples were enjoying the Valentine’s Day dinner at some posh restaurant, Jessie and I were running around doing some serious shopping.

We had dinner at Breeks @ Changi Airport before heading down to Tampines Mall. There we played a simple game.

The rules were simple :

1) The cumulative amounts of all gifts should be as close to $26.03 as possible (26/03/06 was the day we both got together).

2) We would spend one hour shopping at our designated shopping mall before heading to the meeting point.

3) The person who spends the closest to $26.03 wins!

We drew lots in the car…

I got Century Square.

Jessie got Tampines Mall.

At the end of one hour, we got each other the following items :

Jessie got me a shoe-bag and a pouch for $27.00.

I got Jessie two packets of Ferrero Roche, four coasters and a laptop mouse for $25.77.

I won!

Yesterday I gave Jessie her Valentine’s day present, together with 10 stalks of her favourite purple tulips. I made a cross stitch for her (which took about 3 weeks, on and off stitching), and on the card I wrote…

Every stitch I do, I do it for you.

Jessie’s bouquet of tulips, card and cross-stitch.

Jessie was so touched that she burst out crying. Great success! It took me a long time to learn the basics of stitching and when she told me that she liked it a lot, I felt really happy.

Jessie gave me a Cerruti 1881 belt.

Jessie, in return, got me a Cerruti belt cut to my size! A decent belt is probably the only thing I need right now. Thank you so much my dear.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
