Long time no blog!
Can’t believe how long it has been, however, I have got some
really cool things to share – namely because I had a couple of experiences
where I got to share this island with my man…..
Firstly, let me start with our 3rd Anniversary….
I picked Tom up from the airport and we had a man waiting at the gate with our
name on an iPad and he whisked us off into town to an area called Club St.

| My man always brings me duty free goodies.... Considering he doesn't like Drunk Jodie, I am always PLEASANTLY surprised by his thoughtfulness! |
 |
| My man and his Loot! |
 |
| mmmmm sashimi, oysters and champagne.... |
 |
| Velvet and rose petals and art deco heaven! |
Now, clearly Tom does not know me at all……….
We headed out for dinner across the road to Chinatown then
decided to head back to Club St for cake. And yep, our coffee and cake cost
more than our dinner of prawns, ribs, sautéed greens and scallops!
The next day we went to Flutes at the Fort for brunch – for some
reason, all our favourite breakfast places have ‘Flute’ in the name….. After
brunch, we went shopping for my anniversary present, a leather handbag that is
large enough to fit my laptop in it but small enough that I don’t hit all the passengers
in the aisle seats in the head with it as I go past… which I may or may not
have been doing with my ‘you call THAT THING carry on?’ bag. ps handbag =
amazing! And I am never using other than for travel as it is too beautiful and
I am so awesome at breaking things!
Then, being the AWESOME wife I am, as part of his Birthday /
Anniversary present, I got tickets to The Dark Knight Rises (I know I know
EXACTLY what you are thinking – he takes me to an amazing hotel, I take him to
the movies, he gets me a leather handbag for our 3rd anniversary, I
get him a leather bound notebook he is SUCH a lucky guy!). He is actually a
massive fan of action / superhero movies, so I did actually receive SOME
brownie points for organising this….. I hope??!

Off to dinner then the next morning we had a quick breakfast
at the hotel and he had to fly out…. L
A couple of weeks ago, he was back in Singapore for a
weekend. Saturday night we went out to a Comedy Night with a few friends which
was an awesome thigh slapping night consisting of tears of laughter, belly
holding cackles, wine spitting hilarity……. One of the best nights of comedy I
have been to.
The next day, a few of us went to a chocolate shop for
breakfast. Eggs with a side of chocolate croissant? Hells YES! Then we went to
see Argo which is an incredible film of which I recommend you go and see tonight!
Then….. I took Tom on a date on the Singapore Flyer! A lovely night in our own
capsule with our very waiter and the hugest lamb shank I have ever had the
pleasure of smashing down! Oh, and the started was a caeser salad, so my man
had to eat his greens. Perfect!

We also tried out a French bistro and did some Christmas
shopping on Orchard Rd. So nice to spend
quality time with my man on an island which actually has streetlights at night…….
I have to blog about Dili, but I feel so terrible taking photos there…. Perhaps
I need to eat some concrete and harden up. I will be back there in December…..
It has to be done……
