Somewhere this month would have been our official one year anniversary. Not that the dates really matter since the both of us have different concepts for time but from my perspective, this is the next longest relationship i have been in after my 3 year relationship with my first boyfriend.

For all that he’s been, it stirred a longing within me to recreate the best moments in love for him. I guess to me, that’s the best i can give apart from my love so it explains the things i do, the little surprises that i drop now and then etc.

Besides, passion fizzles out after a while so it’s up to each of us to maintain the bridge that provides the constant stream of love, support and encouragement.

The anniversary was no exception to my usual surprise element for him as much as he dislikes surprises.

I booked a spa session for us both at the Aspara at Goodwood Park Hotel to commemorate this occasion. Actually more so because i felt he needed a break from work commitments. It was a 2 hour session that comprised of a massage of our choice, the usage of the steam bath, and jaccuzzi facilities.

The pace was relaxed and it would have set the stage for a better evening if the spa had catered for wine or champagne which they unfortunately did not provide for. Nonetheless, we still had a great time bubbling around and reprising our roles as McSteamy and McDreamy (yes i know it sounds a little gayish).

I believe Old boy and i echo the same sentiments that the pressure strokes could be improved further but at $321 (nett) for our couple package, it is affordable as compared to The Retreat at Changi Village Hotel and i wouldn’t mind heading back there if my motivating decision is centered on the surroundings and ambience.
