Mommy's biggest Valentine's Day surprise :)

Every year, Daddy and Mommy would take turns to plan for Valentine's day.


This year, Mommy told Daddy that she would make plans for the big day and asked Daddy to make himself free.


As usual, Daddy would be curious and bugged Mommy for clues and Mommy made up little white lies about planning to do a tattoo together on Valentines day of Little Miss Gwenneth Tan's initial.



Well, they are still deciding on it anyway.


Mommy booked a flight early January to surprise Daddy for a trip to Hong Kong and Macau so that they could play Texas Holdem there.

They would fly to Hong Kong on Valentine's Day morning and return 4 days later.

Mommy roped in Godpapa Ryan so that he could arrange their monthly Jakarta trip away from these dates.

Initially, Mommy wanted to only reveal the surprise on the 13th, but Godpapa warned Mommy against it. Mommy had to check Daddy's Blackberry everyday to make sure that he didnt have meetings on any of the dates.

Eventually, Mommy decided to let Daddy know about the surprise on the 15th of the Chinese new year, Yuan Xiao Jie, which was also known as the chinese valentine's day. Just in case Daddy had work!!!

Daddy was very surprised as he was clueless about it!

Daddy shook his head at Mommy's ability to cover a BIG LIE.


Mommy made special effort to plan the trip by asking her Hongkie friend for local food hunt, and the best beef steamboat around for Valentine's day dinner.





Yiyi Gerene also offered to make special bookings at The Venetian hotel for Daddy's and Mommy's romantic getaway.

Gwen Gwen : "Happy Valentine's Day Papa and Mama!!! I love you!!!"

Mommy loved the room!!! and pretended that she was in Venice, and the rooms were this clean and nice... and have LIFTS!

Mommy bought many many things for me... Mostly clothes and long sleeve outfits that i would be wearing for a chilly Australia weather in March. Its not exactly cold lah..but Ive not been exposed to the cold much and Mommy wanted to be sure that I would be in warm cosy clothings.

Yes, we are going Australia to visit Uncle Alvin!

Gong Gong and Por Por took me to the airport to pick Daddy and Mommy. I recognised the 2 familiar faces right away and my face glowed with a big smile. I also leaned forward and threw my open arms to Daddy and Mommy for a hug i missed for the past 4 days!

Im soooo gonna sleep between Daddy and Mommy tonight!!!

When Mommy is back, she spends a whole lot of quality time with me while Daddy went back to work immediately to finish off the piled up work at his desk.

Mommy took me on a ride on the luggage.

Mommy wore matching short as the suitcase.

we rode up and down the walk way at home and went "choo!! choo!!"

Mommy would also make reverse sensor's periodic beepings as we go backwards.

"Beeee Beee Beee Beee Beee...."

Mommy in a very unglam pose.

Excuse me!!! Please give way to us!!! choo choo!!!

I miss my Mommy :)
