7th.

So...
After celebrating our usual anniversaries and special days at Dozo for several times in a row (I KNOW RIGHT SO UNADVENTUROUS),
I went to do some research and read some reviews online.
And we ended up at Tatsuya for our 7th year celebration!

7 years sounds really ancient, but it's not really a super big deal for me?
I actually have friends whose relationships that are just as long or even longer than mine.
And if we're looking at the long term future,
7 years is actually not that long.

The ala carte dishes are pretty pricey at Tatsuya, around $30 each for both the salmon sashimi and the soft shell crab tempura!
But omg, the best soft shell crab I've tasted.
Salmon sashimi was alright, not significantly nicer than where I usually have mine (at Itacho) even though the menu states that they import their sashimi directly from the Tsukiji Fish Market in Japan.

If you order their 8 course meal, it will be a whooping $200 per pax.
So we went for their set lunch instead, which was rather affordable at $30 per set.
:)

I've read some reviews and they say you might have to wait up to 1 hour in queue on most weekday nights,
so it will be best if you make reservations before heading there!

I did call to book seats but the place was surprisingly quite empty on a Sunday afternoon.

My choice of outfit for our anniversary lunch:
Fits Like Royalty Dress in Pristine White.

Honestly I love everything about this dress.
The material feels super luxe (like butter!) and the fit is crazily perfect.
But what I love most is the awesome scoop back which reveals just about enough skin,
but not too much that you have to wear a stick on bra with it.
And it makes my waist look ridiculously tiny.

Okay end of rave.
I think I'm gonna need to have all colours for this dress!

Stopped by at Antoinette's for desserts and tea!
Couldn't really remember anything except that the strawberry shortcake is the BOMBZ and that the air conditioning was super duper freezingly cold.
Dashed out of the place once we had our fill of the desserts.
Didn't even want to stay in there for another minute, hahahah.

And thanks to awesome Yoko who sponsored us another pair of her super popular Casio couple watches!
:)))
I'm not one who will go for couple outfits,
so couple watches work just fine for me.

Thom was exceptionally pleased with this watch because it's so him.
Matches with every single one of his outfits and he's getting so much wear out of it.

Get a pair of these gorgeous babies from NAKED GLORY and I'm sure your boyfriend will love you for it!
You can thank me for it later.
Hehe.

Thank you for everything that you've done for me for the past 7 years,
which sounds damn long but actually does not feel that long at all.
Thank you for having superhuman patience when I'm having bad days,
thank you for pointing out directions whenever I'm wandering around lost,
thank you for not walking away no matter what,
and thank you for being the solid rock in my life and for never ever failing to let me know that whatever happens, there's always you by my side.
Your love for me is so unconditional that sometimes it gets quite unbelievable.
You're the best I've ever had and will ever have.
Even on days when we annoy the shit out of each other,
on days I make you frustrated to no end,
on days you take shitty outfit photos of me which makes me equally frustrated (LOL)
I still love you all the same.
