birthday fun part 2.

i had 2 cakes this time. they had bought me the most delicious rich tempered soft white chocolate cake from guylian and oooooo it just melts in your mouth. it was so soft the candles wouldn't stand straight on it. poor clara had to hold the candles until the boys finally came to the table. it did stay up long enough for the to sing me a song :)

it was a pretty easy going day. slept in as we normally do on weekends, ate lunch and we headed to test drive a car D wanted. yes.. it's almost as if he was buying me a car for my birthday. hehehe







we went to home thai for dinner and the food was absolutely yummy. the pork dish we ordered was.... omg so good, it was so good we ordered TWO! oh and i think we ordered almost every dessert on the menu. the cool part about the place? they use ipads when they place your orders and have LV pouches to hold them in. we were like o_O !! we also had this bunch of people sitting next to our table that kept eyeing our food. in fact they actually tapped clara on the shoulder to ask her what the dishes we ordered were. we didn't really mind it but it was kinda uncomfortable that they kept staring at our table and POINTING.  tsk.tsk. so we thought get them to take a group picture for us since we've been so nice. we ended up having to do the same for them -_-





it was after cake cutting where the craziness began. we finally had a chance to play our lego pictionary since we were in a group. it was me, D & clara in a team and alex, jd & justin in another. we did cheat a lil considering we were making stupid sounds to explain what we were trying to build. we laughed until our jaws hurt, realised that alex and jd are on the same wave length and justin created a way for us to identify how to build animals :D i can't believe we were up pretty much all night and had mackers breakkie before heading to bed at 6am. i definitely haven't done this in a while.....

thanks for all the birthday fun! please come back and help finish the cakessssss......

xoxo



 

 

 

older and hopefully wiser..

gone are the days where we partied our birthdays away... actually those days were gone ages ago -_- now it's the many birthday dinners to catch up with friends that you no longer see as often as you should. instead of dreading the turning a year older (maybe coz i think i'm still young.... or actually just forget how old i am - signs of old age o_O), i enjoy the love everyone shares by wishing you be it through phone calls, facebook messages or emails.. oh and the very random cards.



grace took me to this really nice japanese restaurant at crow's nest called sakana-ya which translates to "fish monger". the fish she ordered melts in your mouth. it's a really nice little restaurant, cosy and it felt like the both of us were really loud >.< we were so engrossed in our conversation, we didn't notice that it was getting late.









D had picked up lilBro with a cake and we were just chilling till midnight. the next thing you know, kei arrives in his masterchef outfit (after work), leanne pops up with the rest of the boys and it will a really nice cake blowing session with ginormous "2" & "8" candles. so much for keeping my age a secret! .... lilBro so cute - instead of buying me a gift, he had homemade muachi for me. :D i'm soooo blessed.

round 2 tomorrow!



 

 

 

how charms-ing.

i don't wear much accessories on my wrists even though i think it's pretty. and charms are the cutest things. little handbags, shoes, robots and so many other kinds, if it was my own i wouldn't even know where to start. i picked these 2 charms from thomas sabo for a friend's birthday present because i think her charm bracelet is a little bare. it's time to fill it up :) i hope she likes them.



 

 

 

happy birthday G

G is 2 today .. and the lucky fella got a nice piece of juicy steak (and some lettuce) for his birthday. silly boy kept eyeing the steak while i was trying to take a picture with him. i can't believe i've had him for only 2 years!! it feels like he's so apart of our lives that he's been with us forever... ok maybe that's a bit over exaggerated but...seriously it does feel like it's been a long time. well, he's gonna be with us a long long time.

that's it lah.... gonessss!

that's it la... no one's gonna layan me at night anymore. D will be too busy playing this...



and i know who to blame... *ahem* you know who you are!! :p

happy birthday lilBro

it was lilBro's birthday yesterday and since he was staying over coz he was working with me made things so much easier. we had japanese for dinner, i bought him a cake, planned something with his mates and he comes home after dinner and falls asleep on the couch. damn good. so i cancelled the plans instead of waking him. and then he wakes up at 11:30pm 0_O



the boy tries to kill his cake since the knife was bigger than the cake.





happy birthday boy! enjoy the xbox 360 that i didn't buy you but will definitely sponsor you more games! xoxo

someone's a big boy now

lilBro has finally graduated! after missing his first graduation date and pushing it 6 months later so everyone could make it, he has finally worn that funny hat and gown to collect a scroll, OK fine his engineering degree. :)



the family flew in the weekend before to attend his ceremony and then it was dinner after dinner after dinner with them. i'm soooo stuffed it's not funny.







dad had extremely sharp eyes and could spot his beloved son in the crowd while i walked around the area a couple of times and still couldn't find him. me and bigSis got hushed during the ceremony coz we were busy talking after lilBro's walk was over. ^_^

BigSis was the funniest. While walking to the graduation hall, she shouts my name and i see her holding the hand out as if scooping water then she says "do you have contact lense solution?" obviously not...then suddenly she goes "oh nooo" and looks at the ground. wanna guess what happened?? hahaha so for the rest of the day she was half blind and covered 1 eye whenever she wanted to get a good look. :D the best part? the ceremony hasn't even start yet!

oh Z slept through the ceremony.......

we shared to buy him a nice watch as a graduation gift. he managed to guess what it was, don't ask me how. then bigSis asks:

"would you have preferred a black face or white face?"
"why? if he prefer the other can change meh?"...
"no."
"thennnn...??"  -_- damn good...

then it was off to the restaurant everyone seems to head to after graduation... Kensington Peking!!

if you haven't seen ironman 2, you MUST!

you know how when you have high expectations for a movie, you normally end up feeling dissapointed because everyone has put the movie UP THERE? if you have high expectations for Ironman 2.... i think the movie will actually meet that expectations and you will walk out going... "wahlau... the techs, the effects...sooooo coool!!" :D

i'm not going to ruin anything for those who haven't seen the movie but seriously this is a MUST SEE!



we started off the night heading for Thai dinner at a restaurant called Bangkok which had unfortunately was either under renovations or had closed down -_- we ended up at this Thai restaurant on Pitt Street called Thanon Khao San which is an actual short street in central Bangkok which apparently had lotsa tuk tuks.





it was a nice cosy place and was quite packed. most of us were starving by the time we got there and couldn't wait to eat.







since there was plenty of us, everyone was asked to order 1 dish and i ordered the roast duck with shitake mushrooms....turned out to be one of the better dishes *grin*



L accidentally ordered D's dish as an entree instead of a main so you can imagine how SHOCKED we were when this came as a dish....



oh and they served us water in tin can cups...those that reminded some of us of hospitals, prisons, armies or camping. the portions we OK i guess, then again it could have been cause it looked like there wasn't enough food for the starving people. the food was tasty, very spicy and very surprisingly we couldn't find any curries on the menu. we ordered the mince pork belly with basil (very very spicy), grilled pork belly with chinese brocolli (i think pork belly should always be stewed but then that's just me) but still tasty, fried fish with some kinda spicy salad (also very spicy), my roast duck, D's pork wanton entree and other stuff which i now can't remember. :)

this kid was sitting further down from me... sooooo cute. he smiled at me when i waved at him

hahaha... i just had to!

we weren't very satisfied after dinner and were all craving for dessert. so we picked up our movie tickets and walked to this dessert place around the corner.... they lost our business immediately after that told us that there is a minimum order per person. WTF!

since we had time to kill before the show... our dear friends entertained us with this....

they started dancing...

while me and Sab amused ourselves
