Surprise Anniversary Gift

I dont see myself as a romantic person but sometimes there is a spur of a moment that make you do things that you dont plan for. I would say that I am a person that budget most things and plan everything. On the 7th November 2009, marks my 8th year anniversary with my partner. We have been wanting to try this restaurant on Toorak Road, South Yarra, it's called France Soir. I called a week before to make reservations for it and funny how when they day came, my partner decided we should stay in for a nice relaxing dinner instead with our dear son, our dog. She didnt have to convince me since we feel quite bad leaving Mantou (our dog) at home. Called France Soir and guess what I found out? The day I called in to make the reservations - the guy that took the reservations was probably too busy - he forgotten all about it. Imagine how angry I would be if we went there and no reservations made! Well, I take that as a blessing in disguise.

I had a hair cut appointment so I went down to Swanston street in melbourne to cut my hair. On the way back, I suddenly had a feeling that I should buy something for my partner. After all, 8 years didnt come easy for us. My partner sacrificed a lot for me and pleasing my family is not easy at all. So I went down to Vintage Cellar (Dan Murphy wasnt opened since it was already 7pm) to get a bottle of Vintage 2000 Dom Perignon! It was quite expensive AUD$299 (but since we were eating home and not going to spend anything on dinner I thought it would be quite nice to enjoy a nice expensive champagne). Got home and presented it to my partner and she was surprised. Knowing me, a person who doesnt know how to surprise anyone. The champagne wasnt chilled so we had to put it in the fridge. Started drinking a bottle of Proseco instead but after that, we were too drunk to drink the Dom Perignon. So we decided to keep it and enjoy it later this month - which will be my partner's birthday. Have you tried anything romantic in a spur of a moment?

More about me

Well, not sure if many people are interested to know me but let me share something with you. Other than being a future billionaire, there are few things that are very close to my heart. Travelling, eating, my family and my significant other - my partner. So I guess for the coming days or months, these are all the things I will blog about. I am not a very good writer but sometimes it's nice to just type and type and share my thoughts since I know there will be many people who will stumble on my blog (like I said - the laws of attraction - well at least you are reading this blog, arent you! Thanks for reading anyway.
I'm a very private person, that's the reason I decided to take out the photo and my name.. I am sure you must be asking - if you are private, why are you blogging? Well, at least you know about me but not me. does that make sense? Well, it's November 2009 and my grandmother's birthday is coming up.
Yes, like I said, family is close to my heart... so what did i decide to get her? On the 12th of this month, which is few days time, my grandmother is turning 72! Young old lady.. ok that doesnt make sense. Well, anyway... I was searching and searching and realise that it's extremely difficult to buy something nice for a 72 year old lady.. I wanted to get her a nice experience from Redribbon Days (http://www.redribbondays.com.my/) since my grandmother is in Malaysia. The browse button on Redribbon Days is quite smart actually. There is an option to choose under GRANDMOTHER! So I thought, I would check that out and see what are the suggestions. Yes, it was something that I was looking for.... I cant send my grandmother for a pilot for a day! That would be funny.

So back to the experiences that Redribbon Days suggested - Dining. They have this Degustation menu thingy in Kuala Lumpur, Sunday Lunch Affair, Carcosa Seri Negara English Afternoon Tea for two, Champagne and oyster at the C.Club, lots of gourmet interesting things..massage .. reflexology.. I think those are good suggestions but I'm not there to bring my grandmother for her birthday since I am currently in Australia. So after browsing few pages, what did I find! Excellent.. On page 3, I was sold by Redribbon Days. I have decided to get my grandmother a Personalised Coffee Table Photobook - 10 pages. I have few pictures but not many of my grandmother - well not me, my partner is very organised. It is my partner who kept the photos taken with my grandmother. IT's fantastic because Redribbon Days not only sell the experience but all I needed to do is put all the pictures plus my creativity on an A4 page (my creativity is the captions of course - for each pictures) and thats it... make payment online and they promise to deliver it for me to my grandmother! Cant wait for her to receive her present on the 12th of this month! I hope she will like it.Although 20 pictures that I sent to Redribbon Days to do the coffee table photobook for me, they are 20 meaningful pictures of my grandmother taken with all her kids and grandchildren! So, I cant wait for her to receive the gift from me!

My Destination

I have recently watched the movie The Secret and thought of sharing my thoughts with you. Yes, I watched the movie and did not read the book. Well, what can I say, I dont remember the last time I read a book plus wathing the dvd is more interesting - visually! Thats my thought anyway. From the movie, i learnt something... it's whatever you wish for, it you want something really bad, your wish will come true. they say it's the laws of attraction. you will attract the positive energy or negative if you think of something very much. Thats the summary at least. But really, how many people dare to dream of something big? The secret behind the secret at least What my thoughts are is daring to believe you can do it. Dare to think of something big and dare to set goals for yourself.

This is why the start of my blog is not my journey but my destination! Let me share with you what I dare to wish for and I know it will become a reality. Give me 5 years...I will be a billionaire! I dont know how but this is the goal I have set for myself and I dare to put it here since blogspot posts they not only post your post but also the date of the post! Thats right, by 2014, I will be a billionaire.
