Today was my birthday! It was the first time I've celebrated away from family and friends. I thought I would be sad and homesick, but my sweet husband made it a happy and fun day for me. Plus, I received so many birthday wishes through Facebook. I love technology!
Tony first surprised me with cupcakes for breakfast.
Later in the evening he made reservations at Ku De Tah Restaurant located at the top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel: http://www.kudeta.com.sg/. The restaurant was on the 57th floor which allowed a 360 view of the city. We were at the front end of the boat-shaped rooftop.
The infinity pool is at the far left.
When we arrived, we suddenly saw people parachuting down from the sky with red smoke coming out of their parachutes. Everyone stared in awe wondering what was happening. Our waiter told us they were practicing for Singapore's National Day holiday which was on August 9th. After we ordered drinks a loud sound shook the restaurant. When we looked up a group of F16 fighter jets flew by. The noise scared some little kids, but we we felt like kids ourselves enjoying the spectacle.

The F16 jets kept flying by during the meal, but at that point we were too busy enjoying the pork belly and my surprise birthday dessert.
To cap off the night we ordered one last round of drinks and waited for the next show. Our waiter Leonard revealed one more treat - a fireworks show! What were we going to see next? Iron Man? This night couldn't get any better. While we walked around the SkyPark (located on the 56th floor) we took photos of the view and enjoyed the fireworks. Unfortunately, we couldn't get into the infinity pool area since it was only open to guests. However, we took a photo from afar. This was the best birthday yet.
