2015 Wedding Anniversary Travel: Spending Summer in Singapore, Johor, KL and Melaka in Malaysia

Mhe-anne L. Ojeda - Isidro

This has all our motif colors - red, yellow, blue and white

Our second wedding anniversary is not until September 21, 2015, but just the same we (and even our friends) are already in celebratory mood! (see those "2" signs!! lol)

Cotton is the traditional symbol for two years of marital bliss, while China is its modern counterpart. Here are Five (5) Ideas how we incorporated our second year anniversary symbols during our summer trip to Singapore and Malaysia from April 18-26, 2015!

Day 1 - Manila to Johor Bahru, Malaysia

1. Wear Identical Cotton Shirts for 9 - days. Not only it makes it easier to pack paired wardrobe, couple tees are trendy and catchy at that! Believe me! I easily spotted my hubby among the throng of people during the trip lol! 

Day 2 - Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Day  3 - Johor Bahru to KL

Day 4 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Besides, cotton is the best fabric for summer according to human touch of chemistry, as it allows better air circulation to avoid fungal breeding, light weight so heat just passes through and prevents allergic reaction. 

Day 5 - Melaka, Malaysia

Day 6 - Singapore Merlion Tour

Day 7 - Singapore Sentosa

Day 8 - Singapore Heritage Tour

Day 8 - Singapore to Manila

2. Visit Sights That Reflects "2" like Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the tallest twin tower building in the world! These two (2) towers  have double - eight (88) floors and feature a double - decker skybridge connecting  the two - towers on the 41st and 42nd floor, which is the highest 2-story bridge in the world!

3. Cotton Bath Towels and Bathrobes. Oh well, summer is not summer without water, lots of water! That means there's a lot of opportunities to use cotton bath towels and bath robes.

Legoland Water Park has the bring your own towel (or you rent)
so we brought our own cotton bath towels!

Dorsett Hotel has an outdoor pool and provided us with white
and orange cotton bath towels and white cotton bathrobes

4. Cotton Pillow Cases. Summer travel is all about accommodations and those comfy white cotton pillows and pillow cases are part of our basic must - haves for choosing boutique hotels in Singapore and Malaysia.

Venus Boutique Hotel has white and lavender cotton pillow cases

5. Anything China. The place and not "china" plates! But I am playing with words here since the theme is not limited to material, right? And since we have not booked a trip to China, we see to it that we stay at "Chinatown" while in Singapore, eat "Chinese" dishes and spot anything "China" like a picture with a Chinese boy while at the MRT station.

Red just love this Chinese boy picture at the MRT station in Chinatown

We stayed in Chinatown for the four days that we were in Singapore, and it was definitely the best choice as we were so close to everything "cheap but great" - be it "hawker foods", "culture", "history", "picturesque temples & mosques", "quirky shops" and "24 - hour eateries"!

So the long (that's Red) and short (that's me) of it, is that we are in love, and we heart celebrating our second year of togetherness in a big way twice this year (in Summer and in September)!
