Anniversary 1/3 - Morning

Last weekend we celebrated our second wedding anniversary. We headed to Sentosa on a one-night staycation far from all the traffic, and grabbed coffee at Starbucks on the way. The hotel was Amara Sanctuary, the location is very good and it's so far from town that it's silent and you can see the stars clearly at night. We had access to pool straight from our room which was really nice. The only thing was that a peacock kept screaming through the night :D

The theme this year is Paper, since second year is called paper anniversary. Hubby gave me flowers wrapped in paper and a paper book as a pressie haha.

I will post soon about our evenning plans! Sentosa is a great place to head for staycation I really recommend :)

Our Wedding

As I told you in the previous post, we are celebrating our anniversary this weekend. Our wedding day two years ago was a magical day. We got just a few drops of rain and then the sun started to shine. The place was more than amazing, food was to die for and after a glass of sparkling I was ready for the big day! My husband's family gave me a necklace that I will treasury forever, mainly because I felt it was so touching they wanted to give me something I've always dreamt of. Our loved ones gave us speeches, we laughed and cried and ate, drank and danced until midnight. My husband even had practised how to sing a Finnish song with our band! Here are some of the photos from our big day, hope you enjoy! <3

The next day we woke up to full sun shine and a great hotel brunch :) I will post later on about our anniversary celebration!

Lately

After starting in a new job my days and weeks, even months, are flying pass. If I didn't have friends and family in Finland, I wouldn't even notice the passing of months - winter, spring and now summer. I really miss the four seasons and change of temperature, weather and mood. Somehow winter or rainy days in Finland give people a reason so be silent, shut their doors and just be all alone for a while. Singapore on the other hand is on the go constantly - business depends on pace, consuming, shopping, buying, going, coming, working, queueing. Non-stop. Sometimes I wish I was just sitting on a rock in Helsinki, looking at the sea, wind blowing my hair and listen to nothing.

Anyhow, I'm here and this weekend I had surprise guests from Finland - I'm always so happy to get visitors!! Today our good friends in Singapore celebrate their wedding. My husband is at their gate crashing at the moment which is a tradition of the husband going to the bride's parents house to "buy" the bride over to the husband's family. The bridesmaids prepare all kind of tricks for the best men and the groom to get pass and lots of money and gifts are passed on to the bride and her bridesmaids.

Lately I've been relaxing mostly at home and with friends, trying to cook new dishes - my new bravura is goat cheese&salmon pizza and chocolate cupcakes :)

Another weird thing lately is that all of a sudden Singapore is filled with moths. They are everywhere - at home, outside, at the mrt station, on my office door, in my office lobby...! I tried to save the first ones out of the window but there seem to be too many!

In terms of outfits I'm inlove with combinations of white lately <3

Well, this post was all over the place without any direction whatsoever but oh well, that's life! I hope you've had a great Saturday and lots of nice plans (or relaxing time at home) for today :)

River Safari - Part II

Sorry to those who are not animal lovers, this is the second and final post about my Zoo experience ;) But I really enjoyed it! A breeze of fresh air among all the city life here... Singapore Zoo has three different parts - Zoo, Night Safari and the new River Safari. I've been twice to Night Zafari and fully recommend it! It's a great experience to walk surrounded my animals on a warm cosy night of Singapore. Photos will be difficult to take because no flash is allowed to consider the animals' sensitive sight. River Safari presents the wildlife from the Amazon and other wet areas in the world. There are two ways of looking at Zoos - I always feel bad towards the caged animals, especially birds that can't fly and lonely animals... On the other hand without education about these sensitive species in the world, people would become even more ignorant to preserve the nature, recycle, give money to charity and so forth.

River Safari has both fishes and animals that live on the ground. As I told you before, Panda was the highlight of the Zoo :) It just took it easy, ate all it could find and munched bamboo lying on it's back. Just like me according to my husband ;)

River Safari - Part I

I love the nature and animals - Finland is the land of a thousand lakes, animals running in the forests and I've always had pets since young. My first dog was a Labrador retriever called Suru (sadness). She was an amazing dog, wise and kind. My second dog was neurotic but extremely intelligent Apu (help), and now my two cats Pessi and Eemeli are living with my mum in Finland.

Since Singapore is the land of shopping & everything artificial, I really miss nature and animals. We headed to Zoo's River Safari, which was so nice I'm considering a year pass :D

Even the fishes were quite cute (ok some were a bit scary) but oh my I adored the panda! I watched the panda eat bamboo as if it was the highlight of my year <3

Next time Panda it is!
