Milestone And New Stone

Despite my horrible toothache yesterday, Ryan & I went on ahead to celebrate our 10th anniversary this year. (yes, i’m that stubborn!) Quite unconventionally, our simple celebration was done in reverse. We had dessert first at Haagen Daazs at the DIFC to pass the time before heading for dinner at Shang Palace in Shangri-La Hotel. Despite the 4 scoops of ice cream we shared, we still had room for the delectable Chinese cuisine. No doubt Shang Palace is the best Chinese restaurant in Dubai!

while waiting for the food - love the ambience!


dimsum, claypot beef satay & prawn bread crumbs


But what made the event extra special to me was the gift Ryan gave me.
my new solitaire



It was included in my 30th birthday wishlist. I’m just so pleased I didn’t have to wait that long for it to be fulfilled!

Honey, you’ve made another dream come true for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
