Singapore is breathtaking when seen from 70 storeys up, all lit up at night.
Sean and I were treated to this sight at Equinox, Swissotel the Stamford, when we spent our special night out there. With this one meal we celebrated several things: his birthday (of last year, kids were too sick back then), his raise, passing my exams of last semester, my birthday, and our blessed life in general. Good food, good conversation, one couldn't have asked for more. OK maybe we could have asked for more of that mudcrab and ebi starter, or the fabulous beef cheek and steak. I was also happy to put on for the first time a strapless dress and be able to pull it off. But only figuratively, mind!
Sean gave me "The Glimpses of the Moon" which I've read at least twice off my Sony CLIE, downloaded from Project Gutenberg, a great online book resource. It was the perfect gift. The story is a charming and deeply insightful one, starring a couple of young, poor, and popular people experimenting with marriage in the world of the wealthy and free-wheeling Americans of the 1920's. Their "plight" certainly strikes some chords, but my heart is truly satisfied with the unpredictable ending. No spoilers here, never fear - I leave it to everyone to discover for himself the awesome writing of Edith Wharton.
