Happy Birthday to Hubby!

Today is the first time I am celebrating my hubby's birthday with him after we got married and I was very excited. Thanks to the Internet, the pregnant mum-to-be was able to execute all plans for the birthday celebration:

I pre-ordered the latest iPhone 3GS through Singtel's website and we went to collect it yesterday at Comcentre. My geeky hubby "made used" of my pregnancy and managed to skip the 4 hrs queue. We were able to purchase the phone, choose a free phone cover with the $30 Singtel voucher, trade in the old N80 and get a free scoop of Ben & Jerry's ice cream in an hr :P

Early this morning I cooked hubby's favourite wanton mee for breakfast before we went to the gynae to check up on the creation of our love. Chloe is now 2.5kg and we can see her hair floating in the amniotic fluid!

As it was still early, we went to hubby's favourite haunt, Sim Lim Square, to get a screen protector for the iPhone before we head to Purvis Street for set lunch @ Garibaldi Italian Restaurant & Bar. We started with fresh fruit juice at the bar. Only honey and no sugar is added to their juices.

Appetizer was tomato soup with plenty of crab meat. Soup was a tad oily but went very well with the crunchy bread which the waiters kept on refilling.

My main course, Cod Fish stuffed Ravioli, was pretty ordinary. But the pork ribs Johnson had was very tender though.

Dessert was mixed berries smoothie with a subtle sourness that suited pregnant mum-to-be.


The Pistachio and Chocolate Gelato was splendid and very flavourful. We found out from the Italian waiter that these were made by Deste which is under the Garibaldi group too. The waiter even offered us their chocolates when we asked for the name card.

The best part of the meal was a surprise Tiramisu birthday cake! I'd made the reservation online through their website and commented that it was for my hubby's birthday. They actually prepared the cake autonomously. Good service!

Extra: We saw minister Yeo Cheow Tong when we were about to leave the restaurant. He came with a broken wrist. This goes to show how popular the restuarant is.

After lunch, we went to catch the Ice Age 3 movie at GV marina. It is the first time we saw a movie in 3D! Feels wierd wearing the 3D glasses for 90 mins though.

Dinner was a family celebration held at Johnson's godmother's place. I'd specially ordered a Thomas & Friends designed Double Chocolate Pralines cake from The Patissier for the childlike dad-to-be. It was yummy!
