another candle blown...

my poor birthday boy is sick on his birthday. poor thing, it must suck :(  it's probably from the jet lag and the fact that we had such a busy weekend - wedding the whole of saturday (post coming soon), the exciting of fast cars on sunday plus his birthday dinner. last night we headed to the spanish restaurant encasa for dinner since we had some friends from overseas here to attend the wedding. i never really know what to expect when trying a new restaurant but i have to say ... the ambiance is pretty good. it was completely packed but thank goodness they were nice enough to move us to a bigger table when that booking didn't arrive. we ordered different types of tapas, seafood paella and of course sangria. next stop, passion flower for old times sake where i pretty much od-ed on 3 types of dessert. tired D very loudly ask "who's birthday is it?" when little surprise candle on a little cake was for brought out for him. poor confused boy >_<

the early birthday dinner...

happy birthday sayang! and yes... every year you will always be two year younger than me. but i stopped counting since twenty five, so technically we're the same age; both twenty five no matter how many candles there are on the cake. *grin* since we play badminton on tuesdays, we celebrated his birthday the sunday before. dinner at pothong thai in newtown. apart from having difficulty find parking in the area, we had pretty good food. they had set up a little balloon arrangement on the table and added fruits & fire sparkles to the birthday cake and even had a small team of waiters sing him happy birthday. they also took pictures for us which they would email to the birthday boy. not bad.... with no extra charge they had really good service. it's just the starting of celebrations!

surplise!?? not quite

note to self: do not buy birthday presents in advance because you will just end up giving it to them early. i'm the sort of person who loves watching the happy faces of the people i buy presents for. of course that's usually only the case only if i get it right. i had D's present ordered a week in advance, wrapped and hidden on the day he flew home and could only wait 2 days before i told him "i've got your birthday present!" -_- which led on to guessing, hints and the very fast finding of it. clearly i'm not very good at surprises. it's his birthday tomorrow and his present is all nicely installed. fail!

me, the model... GASP!

everytime i talk about work, i always seem to be at some shoot. hahaha that's not all my job's about. i don't think anyone will be interested in the stuff i do at office :) at the latest shoot, we used an old friend rani k as our hair & make up artist. i absolutely enjoy working with her even though we didn't manage to chat much today. the point of today's post is coz i did something fun today; i modelled! hahaha and my gosh it's not easy. no, you won't see my face in any stores but you may see my legs *grin* i had to wear my really super high heels coz i obviously wasn't tall enough for the jeans and my balance was terrible. i texted D to tell him i was modelling but won't be showing my face and he asked why. i told him i was too young for the brand.. his response "does that mean you have amah legs?" -_-

G meets the dancing donkey

my sayang's finally back home to me and obviously brought many things back. one of which is the dancing donkey my dad bought Z. when i took this out of the suitcase, G wanted it real bad. i had placed it on the counter table and he stared u at it and whine. probably thought it was a toy for him. this is G's first encouter with the dancing donkey.

my sleeping time has been a little off since D went back to kl. we have our daily ritual of catching up on each other's day no matter what time it was. of course we still talked throughout the day whether it it through whatsapp or random phone calls. but when it comes to the end of the day for the latest one, that's the one to seal the day. obviously the three hour difference is a killer. he's not home when i am, and i'm pretty much in bed when he is. i still spend my nights in front of the tv just to a different sound. finished the final book of the twilight series and my phone bill has skyrocketed ... for example it's been four days into my new billing cycle and i have already exceeded my cap plan o_O last night, while reading the oscars were on and... oooo all the beautiful dresses. colours of the night seemd to be purple and red... oh and lotsa glitter.

my father buys my nephew the funniest toys... check out the dancing donkey. i think it's damn cool.
