James & Sheena's 4th Year Anniversary (17th Sep 2009)

It's been really really ages since we last updated our blog. Been really really busy and occupied with so many things. However, we never ceased to spend time with each other despite being caught up with so many different things in various parts of our lives. Alas, it's 17th of the month again, this time it's the month of Sep, which means it's the day of the year! The 4th one during our courtship. We spent some really quality, fruitful and fun time together this day. Hope Dear had a great time! Happy 4th Year Anniversary...Love you lots! Thanks for loving me. Thanks for helping me. And I will never stop to help you help me. =D Muacks!

We took leave that day and met for a nice date before going cell group meeting together at night.

Us at PS TCC for lunch.

Our food:



Happy us who love nice & pretty food!





We caught the movie "The Ugly Truth"...not too bad. Tho "The Proposal" and "Time Traveler's Wife" are nicer in my opinion. Guess Dear found this show realistic and funny. Yeah, that's why it's "The Ugly Truth". Hee.

Thereafter, we went to SMU area to take pictures with "fei feis" - sculptures of fat things by my favourite sculptor Botero. :)










Dear is sooooooooooooooooooo sporting & cute! Haha!









Dear actually said perhaps we should do another impersonation of this sculpture...so I asked him if he was gonna be the bottom...HA HA HA! Anyway it's the nicest pic of the day!

I miss the lamp-post in Venice!

I love handmade cards/letters from Dear! Esp with my dearest baby inside! CUECUE!

Hee I love Q!

And Dear loves 8!

This is a jeep we saw in this museum...the whole vehicle is made of cooking appliances...and has a lot of Christian sayings and Bible verses written on it...the top has the words "In God We Trust". Yes we trust God always! Thank God for bringing us together and keeping us close always. I look forward every moment of my life together with you Dear! Muacks!

Btw, it's also the 17th today...Happy 49th Month :)

I will try to blog about my birthday celebration soon!

J&S @Europe08 Day 11: Rome

2nd day in Rome. :) This day somehow seem shorter. The highlights were Vatican City, St Peter's Basilica, Sistine Chapel and Bocca della verità (the famous mouth of truth).

Breakfast at the hotel:

We reached Vatican City as early as we can. Hee.




But still so many people queueing to go in St Peter's Basilica

Some interesting sights there:







Inside St Peter's Basilica:

Us and the babies/angels! So cute!





More of the exterior:


Interesting Vatican guards' costumes.




Next we went in to the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel.

Interesting spiral stairs.

Photography wasn't really allowed in the Sistine Chapel. But the feeling inside was really peaceful and we just sat there for a while admiring Michaelangelo's work. Our favourite is the Creation of Adam, right Dear?

A structure outside one of the museum gallery rooms.

Outside a nearby souvenir shop. Bought some souvenirs from this shop for our friends. The paper weight for Zhuzhu was bought here. :P

Finally for lunch. We went to this restaurant near the entrance/exit of Vatican City.













On our way to Bocca della verità, we stop by this monument which I can't remember the name. Think it symbolizes some "wedding cake".

Dear and this hooded statue



Gelato with 2 cones!

Some famous church on the hill.

Finally...Bocca della verità...took a while to find...it was actually inside a church and we had to queue quite long just to take pictures of us with our hands inside the mouth. Haha.




Pantheon

Quite interesting looking church

We decided to take a rest at an italian cafe and have some tea. But the food we chose somewhere tasted too interesting for us. Haha.



Some cute "ducks" we saw on the streets.

I can't remember how come this day somehow seem so much shorter. But I could remember we kept getting lost around the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain area. Somehow the phrase of "All roads lead to Rome" kept coming to my mind. Haha. I could somehow recall images of Dear and me walking and walking non-stop, hand in hand and talking and laughing. No pictures. But all in the mind's eye. The best pictures are those found in the mind. I think I might have mentioned this before, but despite Rome not being really famous for fashion and style as much as Milan, I really like Rome a lot. There's just something really nice and lasting about it.
