Jumbo!

What a beautiful day ~

Or not. We have a booking at Jumbo Seafood, but all of us were late. So I was ordered by my sister to run all the way from before the GoldKist chalet to the restaurant. Seriously? Seriously. -.- Took 10 mins to reach, which means I sprinted ....... a hell lot. So hot already, I don't get why the people would wanna wait to sit outside and not in the aircon. Hell yeah to aircon on level 2!!

Basically yours truly worked her butts down for this meal. And it was damn well a good earned meal. Yummy yum yum yum!!

My shag face. Can you tell? Lol.

Sis claims this Meegoreng is the best. Tasted real good!

Butter crab

Black pepper crab

I tell you this gong is huge ass big!! Normally I'd be the one getting this, but bro's birthday. SIAN.

Ps: I seriously think we don't look alike. I can tell my bro and sis have my dad's eyes, perhaps I have my mom's? Anyone please tell me the similarities?

Happy belated birthday Sab!

Pretty birthday girl ~

Anyways our mini 'surprise' was more of a surprise for the rest of us (except for Kj who went to get the cake). We were all either busy chatting or choosing/singing songs that we didn't realize Kj was already at the door, until the birthday girl stood up to help open the door (she already saw and knew it was coming lol). The surprise then came for all of us instead and we quickly co-hearse the birthday song. Lol! Like the most uncoordinated birthday cake surprise ever. (':

The k session was initially more of a solemn mood as most of us came down from work/school, and were catching up with one another more than singing. Until the surprise and the camwhoring.

Like this.

Or these

Or fighting to be in the photo.

Then it became this situation as shown in the video. *Up here*

Friends like them ..... <3

Belated gathering

As belated as the meetup, here's the very super duper insanely delayed post (event happened weeks ago). Whoopsy.

So we gathered to celebrate Lydia's belated birthday (very very belated haha). Headed over to Dover (behind SP) to eat zichar. Qm was super hilarious. She's the only one who knew how to reach that zichar place, so we followed her. First, we ran after the bus but missed it. Secondly, it was an abandoned bus stop where no buses would stop! Thirdly, we boarded the wrong bus and had to walk crazy long to the makan place. Oh my gosh, Qm!!!

Obviously we all eat zichar before, but we never ever had that for our meetups before. Unbelievable right? Haha. For the first time, we abandoned air-con restaurant environment for meetups, and succumbed to the uncle-auntie meetup place. Not bad for a change. Food was good, dirt cheap too, and we had a great laugh at our nonsensical bloopers. Must be the food, damage our speaking/hearing ability. E.g. 'How's life' became 'Houseflies'. LOL.

Because Starbucks toilet was a little too gross, Alida, Kj, bf and I went on a little toilet-hunting. Bf brought us to take a lift up to level 3 to enter Rochester Mall, only to find that the door was locked. Not so bad right? What if the lift doesn't come up? Take stairs? What if the stairs no lights? What if we only have a phone but it doesn't contain our friends' number? That was what happened to us!!!!! Kj and I straight away turned around and said we're not going down the stairs. Alida and bf were like 'we hold hand go down lah and we have one phone with flashlight'. Damn hilarious! Turned out the lights have sensor, which made us more relieved. Though, the stairs were still pretty frightening. We managed to get to the toilet on level 2, heng ah. But no more excursions. No more.

The night ended way too short. We had tons of fun in playing 'Heads Up', then running after cabs to avoid midnight charge haha. You girls are irreplaceable. <3

Outback @ Millenia Walk

As I said in the previous post, bf's birthday was gonna be a meaty day! That means, dinner too! To be honest, I got this from Groupon at a sweet deal. Cheapskate me again. He wanted to brought me here during my 20th (the first time he's celebrating for me) but we didn't have enough time. So I sorta made this happen on his 28th, just that we could only choose between three mains from the voucher.

Bread which bf insisted was awesome and must-order but it tasted so-so to me.

Tomato soup which was *thumbs up*!

Our dinner.

The meats at Outback was yum yum yum. Bf was psyched to sign up for the membership and the service was top notch! 5 minutes later, he received the card with his name printed on it.

Guessed this meal was worth it because both of us were surprised when there's soup of the day and drink that came along! I didn't even remember it was stated on the voucher. Cheap thrills!!

The day ended early cause both of us were burnt. Sucks to age so fast. We couldn't even last 12 hours outside, and we're doing nothing but eating.

Super Marvelous Day

First present of the day, roses! I didn't think I can actually make one but I'm so glad it turned out well. Thank you YouTube for teaching me the ropes & hehe flowers for life for my boy! The net even said to make the origami rose more authentic, spray perfume on it. So I did! Secret Angel for him!

He's been racking his brain to outsmart my surprise but hey, if I didn't know this place existed, there's no way he could too haha. He kept thinking it was Wheeler's Yard because we passed by it, and he kept telling me we missed the stop. TOO BAD SHERLOCK, YOU'RE WRONG!

Hungry Heroes @ 33 Tessensohn Road, Singapore 217656

Last year he brought me to The Nox for my birthday and it was really an awesome experience so I wanted to return the favor. Searched for 'Themed Cafes' and this popped out! So grateful for its existence man, because someone is a Marvel Ironman fan hur hur hur.

Seriously the deco is to die for.

The sides are better than the mains, but I guess its okay cause you pay for the ambiance. Dining with the superheroes haha. I think the owner is a fan of Captain America because he designed his logo somewhat according to the shield? Yay to Captain America! Yay to Chris Evans!

Happy birthday my boy!!

Second present: BassBud earpiece in Midnight Black (as requested by birthday boy)

Third & last present: Candy card!

Always wanted to do something like that but I just didn't have the time nor the patience to put in the effort. I feel a little cheapskate this year cause I didn't get him much and I didn't know what else to get him (stupid MK wallet which was oos), so I decided to make a handmade card.

Oh, I did the 'Ironman' phone cover for him through this shitty online store called 'PrintVenue'. They took super long to process my order, screwed up my order even after they confirmed my inquiries etc., and finally they decided to refund me rather than work on the design. All in all, free phone cover! I find the design awkward since it's not a black cover, but bf said it's fine.

Hehe, hope you had a Marvel-lous day!

六十大壽

Makes me wonder if I can survive and celebrate at this age too? It's really something worth celebrating because it's not easy to survive and bring up your own family. Being a mom/dad is never easy and this role doesn't stop even when you're 100 years old. Respect to all parents for their effort and hope all parents enjoy their birthdays with loved ones! <3

Here's a little 'hi' from us:

Obviously we're not the main characters for this post. Maybe in about 32 years, it'll be his time. And another 37 years for me. Sounds a tad bit far-fetched for us, but we're almost at the half-point! Scary to age so fast.

Happy birthday uncle & auntie!

It's their first meal treated by their dearest son, aka my dearest bf, and also their first ang pao received from him. Stay healthy, blessed & happy! Thank you for inviting me to this celebration!

In case you haven't guessed correctly from the background, we're at Pan Pacific Hotel at Hai Tien Lou, which was the exact same place where my sister had her solemnization dinner in the VIP room. Pretty atas ikr. This dinner costed more than S$500, so thank you bf too for the treat!

Don't ask me why my bf so tall despite his parents not being that tall (though still tall). Somehow I think he has his father's eyes and mom's nose. Don't you think?

No cakes but there's longevity peach (寿桃) in replacement. Holy moly this is mega huge!!! And there's twenty-eight mini peaches hidden in the 'peach'. Oh my god! It's also my first time seeing and eating this too! Wow ..... I'm really amazed by our Chinese tradition and how creative things can get.
