Another birthday passed.. and i'm nearing the BIG '3'! scary~
30th Nov 2006 (Thurs)
Met up the guys and the girls.. disappointed cos Phyllis couldnt make it again. Well, we went to My Secret Garden!
I've been wanting to go for sooooo long. Nice ambience, hidden in a little corner near bugis/bras basah. So much for the anticipation, the food wasn't so good... and my 'lao ba' got very pissed cos they forgot his order. Well we were all pretty upset having waited so long.
This was my dinner,
Norwegian smoked salmon sandwich. Well.. it was pretty good. Long wait though..
Another long wait.. for Aglio Oglio. Which they left out one order. Doesn't look too impressive does it? :P
Xiang's food.. Some chicken burger... dunno the name. But I remembered having a craving for eggs after seeing that one.
That night, only Major's food looked tasty. But again I can't remember what its called. haha ;) But i'm sure its chicken~
After feeling angry with My Secret Garden, we headed for some Tau huay at Selegie. It seems to have become a yearly routine. Remembered having tau huay on my 24th bday too~ haha~
Before settling for tau huay, we visited the nearby coffeeshop so that lao ba could finally get some food. And there's my bday cake!~
Seriously, this was unexpected. I asked everyone out cos I wanted to have a gathering.. really.. so was very touched that you guys went ahead to buy me a cake.
How often do you get a big bunch of people, in their late 20s, celebrating someone's birthday at a coffeeshop??? We had to take a photo~ ;)
lao ba said it was a 'tofu' cake.... and i believed him -_- only to feel disappointed on tasting the cheese in it. But it was nice oh!~
1st Dec 2006 (Friday)
At about 10+ am.. in the middle of our usual conference call.. suddenly I received a call from May at the other side of the corridor saying there was a delivery for me.
Had to put down my headphones and frantically ran to the door and got this pretty vase of white lilies!~
* Lunch time *
Lunch was at Fish & Co with some of my ex-colleagues~ So nice, Edward and Chris will occasionally drive down with the others to have lunch with me on fridays.
This was my traditional "Fish and Chips", which turned out to be "Fish and RICE" cos they were out of chips that day!!!
Getting dessert was another headache.. they were practically out of everything. Strange waitress should have just told us, but she took down orders, went to the kitchen, came back out to inform us that our order was out. That happened for about 5 to 6 times.. -_-"
*Back at office... at 4pm...*
Zana came to my desk to talk about how nice the flowers were.. got me totally off guard, then just out of a sudden, everyone came over to my cubicle and started singing Happy Birthday!~ Such a sweet gesture. I really almost cried. No kidding.. :P
This was my cake!~ Standing with me is Cindy. An Indonesian girl, very sweet. She talks to me about Japanese sometimes cos she took classes back in NUS. Cool right!~
Too many of us, so we went to the meeting room to carry out the 'Cut the cake' session. The cake tasted of mocha, not sure what its called but it tasted great! From Spinelli's.. ;)
Haha they wanted to be playful, but i was already on the verge of happy tears la.. and very very shy to be in the limelight. But thank you all! Cos it was such a big step to leave my comfort zone to come into the new job.
*After work...*
Feng came to pick mi up after work. No romantic plans, but a girls' night out is always good!~
Driving to suntec... got to look at the christmas lightings~
Too much good food gets a bit sick.. but I always have space for some KFC. :D
Shopping after dinner helps to keep us slim~ heee~ time to spoil ourselves a little bit~ Bought a new dress at Series and had the salesgirl remove the price tag immediately. ;) With a new dress, i needed more photos taken!~
My dates~
Looking around for a good place to have some cake.. from Suntec we drove down to Orchard again..
Had to get some photos taken since we were at orchard.
After going all the way down to Orchard NYDC to get cake, we had to find a nice quiet place. So much for 3 smart girls hanging out.. we ended up driving back to Esplanade. Hmm.. we weren't so smart were we? There's NYDC at suntec.. :(
But driving around town was cool, all the christmas lights to see. Just pai seh about feng's fuel.. hehe~ Thanks girl!
