A 'Snowy' Suprise

Hubby secretly arranged with Dave to bring me and Anna to celebrate Christmas with an early Christmas dinner last Sunday. A week before, he hinted that he's gonna bring me somewhere special, that it'll be a pleasant suprise.
On that day, we headed to VivoCity, to do some christmas shopping. Our first stop was Crocs. If you've read hubby's blog, you'd know of his obssesion in getting a pair. I promised him those for Christmas present. So there we were, in the shop, which was packed with people by the way, and hubby tried the sandals (do you call them sandals?) on. After weeks of declaring that he definitely wants a pair of Crocs, he decided it doesn't look that good anyway. So we left the shop empty handed. Lol.
By then it was raining cats and dogs outside. And Hubby told me that there may be a change in dinner plans. He said there's no point in going where he planned to go if it continues raining....

Well, we managed to get a christmas present for my dad. A Man U T-shirt, which Aaron chose.
Looked around, and couldn't find anything suitable for my mum... When into Guess! and they were having 30% storewide. I just got Jo a Guess! handbag in Malaysia the previous Sunday. It costs RM299. Saw the exact same one but of different colour in Vivo. It's $169 with 30%... oh well...

By 6pm, the rain seems to have stop, so we decided to proceed with the dinner plan. Me and Anna still have no idea where were we going. Hubby drove up to Mount Faber. This is the place where we went for our first date. It's also here he proposed.
He stopped in front of The Jewel Box, a restaurant uphill.

By then it had started raining again. It was only after we were seated, indoors, that he revealed that they actually have a snow show, but due to the rain that it may be cancelled. Well, the ambience was really nice, and we thought even if we couldn't see the snow, it'll still be great. The snowing was suppose to start at 8pm, by then it was 7.30pm and the rain seems to be getting heavier. We requested to be seated outdoors. On the days that when it's not raining, you would get a clear view for Sentosa. Very panaromic indeed.. and romantic too.

So we ordered our food. The menu's rather limited, but the food's good. We shared among ourselves a plate of Foie Gras. My first time trying and I must say it tasted good! Much better than a pate but oh so sinful... So there we were, enjoying our food, we didn't realise the rain had slow down, not until when lights suddenly flashes, and guess what? It started to snow!! It was so pretty!!
