What comes to mind when you hear of the number seven? Seven deadly sins??? Or the Seventh Year Itch/Craving (七年之痒)???
Hee... Well, today marks the seventh wedding anniversary for Di and I. With the 2 munchkins with us this year, we took a break from our usual celebration of having "dinner accompanied by little thoughtful gifts". Anyway, what kind of celebration will one crave for when you're down with cold/cough for the past 2 days???
This morning, a semi-comatose me woke up later than usual due to the effects of my flu/cough medication. A sweet SMS from Di saying "Happy 7th Anniversary" greeted me when I switched on my little black gadget, fondly known as 小黑. What a way to start the day! I managed to breeze through the day, feeling some what lethargic from the after effects of my medication. My FDW had been a great help for she had to battle the munchkins alone. Later in the evening, Di came home and to my delight, he brought goodies for me. Nothing special for our anniversary, but something he'd like to share with me - Goodwood Park Hotel's signature snowskin durian and jackfruit mooncakes! Hee... "Glutton" is one of the seven deadly sins!!! But I love the mooncakes despite my swollen throat. Surely I can be forgiven for my indulgence on this special day? ^.^
Some may ask "So that's all for your wedding anniversary celebration?", or say to us "Don't get complacent and forget your romance after the kids arrived!" Nah, no worries! We haven't. We are still deciding on the date to leave our munchkins and FDW with my dad/sisters, while Di and I dine in peace, savouring fresh sashimi and gratifying our hunger for the many other Japanese cuisine we so missed.
いただきます... *Slurp*

Hey there,
What a coincidence. The Mrs and I celebrated our 8th Anniversary on 19th too.
We were married on 19th Sept 1999. We liked all the nines but 9th Sept that year was on a weekday so we went with 19th instead.
Same as the past few years, I ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to her work place. Only difference is this is her new office and her colleague initially thought that they were for her from her boyfriend. From what I heard, she was rather disappointed but happy for the Mrs.
Went to one of the Mrs's favourite Yakitori restaurant at Far East for dinner.
Wonder how we will celebrate next year when Baby will be with us. Hmmm......
Hi hi... That's so sweet of you to have flowers sent to your Mrs. Yakitori sounds yummy too! I'm sure your next anniversary will be a sweeter one with one additional member to your family.
We were married on the 19th because our birthdays are also on the 19th of a different month. Hence, 19th just made it easier for us (or rather, for him) to remember. :)
