Spontaneity

Increasingly, I feel the need to take life by the reins and grind to a halt for a breather.

Call it romantic, call it rash. We booked a staycation less than 24 hours in advance to check ourselves out of this madness. Marriage has greatly reduced the need to book ourselves away just to wake up in each other's arms, since we've either sleeping over at each other's place or jetting off to another country. This year's a challenge to our overseas travel plans, with weekends burnt by work and spending power depleted by our suicidal savings plan. What more can we ask for?

Like it was just yesterday that wanderlust took us to Changi Boardwalk when we first got together some 6 years ago. I had fallen in love with the hue of the sunset, as well as with the boy who brought me to it. Years on, we've chosen it as one of our wedding photo shoot venues to lock up that moment in life. :) And to wander around Changi Village in anonymity, traipse along the beach to catch some sun and finally fall asleep snug against you... it's magical. 

A week on, the Husband upped his game. 

Like I mentioned in my instagram post, we all need a mean dose of laughter at mid-week to defibrillate our dying willpower to climb out of bed every work day. Happy Ever Laughter, another prodigious child of local theatre veteran Selena Tan, gathered 13 of Singapore's most talented comedians on one stage to bring throngs of hearty laughter in a 2-hour segment of stand-up comedy. My personal favourite was Adrian Pang, whose virgin stand-up experience was reasonably impressive. I bet you never knew Adrian Pang could swear with so much gusto and nonchalance. Needless to say, the Husband loved it.
