28th June 2012 was the day I tied the knot to my hubster, En Ezry bin Ibrahim. It was indeed a joyous ceremony. Honestly, things happened pretty fast. I remembered the preparation and feeling very nervous. I was pretty stressed out considering that there were a few hiccups here and there (plus my uncle's wife actually made a comment about me gaining weight-read all about it here). That day, I started having rashes all over my body to a point that they considered of drugging me. They decided not to do so because they were afraid that I will not be awake during the solemnization. After all that, everything happen so fast. Before I know it, there I was getting ready. Then, I was ready. Then, I was asked to walk down the stairs. Then, there were a few of "huh?"s and "owh ok" moment. And then, Voi-la! Hi! I'm Mrs Ezry.

Last year, my parents treated us with a Romantic Rendezvous Package at Mandarin Oriental. We had such a good and memorable experience that Hubster decided to make it our annual tradition to go there every year for our anniversary. He got the exact same package for us.

- Dinner for two at the Mandarin Grill
- Champagne or non alcoholic sparkling juice, chocolate and strawberries
- One butler drawn bath with aromatherapy oil
- Complimentary turn down amenities
- Welcome Mandarin Oriental gift amenities for two person
- One Deluxe hand bouquet upon check-in
- Complimentary upgrade to next category upon check-in, subject to availability (Not applicable for Suite rooms)
- MO Lifestyle Programme, enjoy great savings at Suria KLCC participating boutiques
- A dinner for two (2) adults at Mandarin Grill per stay
We checked in on the 27th June 2013. That is a day earlier because hubster was travelling to Pulau Redang with Sole to Soul Dance Studio on the 29th June 2013. We decided to have a little family time on that day before having a whole entire day to ourselves. We started with lunch with his parents then we met up with my parents, nieces and nephew, Mummyang, Emma, Aaron Steve and his children (Aby and Azrai). My mom and Mummyang brought the kids to Aquaria while Hubster, Steve and I head to our room because Princess Aby was fast asleep.

| Welcome Bouquet and a short welcome note. |
 |
| Sparkling Drink, Chocolate, Strawberries and Chocolate Dip. Last year they gave us a whole box of chocolate. This time around, it was only 6 pieces on a serving dish. |
 |
| Princess Aby fast asleep on our honeymoon bed. LOL! |
 |
| She woke up smiling when she saw all the pretty flower petals around her. |
That evening, Hubster and Steve brought the kids down for a short swim.
 |
| I think from the picture here, you can only spot Steve considering that he is the only Mat Salleh there. LOL! |
While they were having a swim, MO staff came over to the room to surprise us with a card, a piece of cake and another bouquet of flowers. They even had a camera ready. It is so unfortunate that Hubster was not around. I feel so bad but really can't deny that it was a very sweet gesture.

| Anniversary Gift from Mandarin Oriental (MO) |
My sister works in Khazanah Nasional Berhad which is located at KLCC. Her friend had this privilege card together with coupons to get discounts. My mom decided to treat everyone dinner at the Chinese Restaurant. Aaina Caring Nina who is working in the same office as my sister joined us for dinner too.
 |
| Appetizer |
 |
| Ginseng Soup with Scallops and Red Dates |
The next few dishes came at almost all at once. We were very hungry that we just dug in without taking any pictures. LOL!
 |
| Dessert: Sesame Pudding with Mango Sorbet |
In conclusion, I would say that the food was awesome. However, I prefer the normal Chinese Fried Rice that the kids had than their Scallop Fried Rice.
 |
| Princess Aby didn't want to walk. |
 |
| Re-enactment of Ju-On? LOL! Just kidding Emma. |
 |
| Not so candid picture of me. That's Aaina Caring Nina next to me. She's trying to avoid the camera thinking that she looks messy after work. Well, I personally think that she looks sexy. |

After dinner, Aaina Caring Nina, Hubster and I hung out at MO's Lounge on the Park where we had the most expensive Teh Tarik and cup of Earl Grey Tea. LOL! RM24 for a pot of Earl Grey Tea! But lounging there includes a super comfortable chair, titbits and live music which is pretty worth it especially considering that it is a once in a blue moon kind of thing.

 |
| Hubster's Berry Mocktail. According to hi, it is like super Ohsome! |

The next morning, we started our day with Breakfast in Bed while watching Nottinghill. Quite romantic don't you think? Surreal but Nice...
 |
| My Breakfast. If it were really up to me, I'ld get their Salmon Egg Benedict. However, it is not safe to eat half cooked food during pregnancy which is why I opted for these instead. |
 |
| Hubster's heart Breakfast |
We took our time before Hubster head for Friday prayers while I head to Chanel's Les BEIGE event at KLCC.
 |
| Bought my mom's Chanel moisturizer and got a free Chanel Les Beige MakeOver which turned to some sort of a maternity shot. |
After that, Hubster and I had tea at Harrods Cafe. The set cost is RM180! Talk about OVERPRICED! It was our first and last time there. We thought that the cakes would be larger. But then again, we must always have in mind that pictures are only for illustration purpose. LOL!

 |
| As usual, our selection for flavoured tea will always be Earl Grey Tea. |
After tea, we decided to take a short trip down to the pool and swam about 10 laps before relaxing in a buttler drawn aroma therapy bath.

We then headed to Mandarin Grill for Dinner. Last year, we had the luxury of choice to choose 2 items from their menu (1 main dish and a choice of either Starter or Dessert) and was treated with a few sweet treats after (if I'm not mistaken there were macaroons and choclates). Hubster ordered this wagyu steak which cost almost RM400. The steak was really awesome that he was really looking forward to it. To our surprise, we were restricted to take their dinner set (a 4-course meal). Courses were increase but the choices were very limited. Well, I guess you lose some, you win some.

Our meal started with a little treat from the chef:
For starter, we chose their Cream Dory Salad which is very yummy-licious:
Then, they served seafood in Chinese Herbal Broth. If you ask me, the seafood was very fresh and succulent. However, I didn't quite fancy the broth.
We both ordered their grilled lamb for our main dish. Hubster had his medium well. Mine was very much well-done.
For dessert, we were served a warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. We didn't get the chance to take a picture of the cake because Hubster was on the line with his aunt and my phone was running out of battery. Our dinner ended with flavored tea and a few pieces of chocolates.

| Fooling around before heading to bed. Well, can't exactly head to bed straight kan with all that food kan.. |
The next day, we took our own sweet time for a slow and late breakfast at Mosaic before heading back to our room to pack our stuff. We had such a great experience spending quality time together there. Thank you Hubster for the lovely treat! XoXo! Looking forward to more milestones to come. Next stop, Raya 2013 before the arrival of Lil Chica. Lets hope for the best and I pray that Allah SWT will bless our family forever and always.
