24th b'day

yupyupz, my bday came and went. a v good one this year. shall let the pics do the talking.

part 1: family

came back on 31 Oct to this: my living room was decorated with streamers and balloons!

we went jumbo seafood (serangoon gardens) for dinner. as usual, great seafood, great company. and thanks to the 2 additional guests, we managed to finish pretty much most of the food!

after tt we went home for cake-cutting. not really my bday yet, but who's gonna resist a yummy hazelnut ganache from rive gauche? and here is my "free" bouquet from prince flowers too! v nice of them to offer an apology bouquet for their boo-boo.


part 2: walk around the city

took leave frm 1 - 3 nov since tj's off anyway, so we went off to celebrate my bday. first up, lunch. wild rocket @ mount emily is good, delicious fusion food in a cosy setting. the set meal was quite worth it. refer to the food blog for details.

after lunch we proceeded to national musuem of s'pore to check it out. they're putting the finishing touches on this grand old dame, i loved how the new extension looks modern but yet blends in nicely w the old structure.


we just explored the place, and went into this outdoor area, i love this shot. pity the birks kinda spoilt my outfit.


after namos, we went off to singapore art museum for more culture.
the deutsche bank art exhibition was on, and we figured tt we both weren't into really visual arts. haha! by tt time it had started to pour. but we braved the rain and headed off. finally we travelled by bus to suntec, and walked to oriental hotel for some martinis and free steak sandwiches at morton's bar. yum! we then had dinner and left for clarke quay for part 3 of the day.

part 3: fantastic friends

by tt time i was pretty tired from walking the whole day, and was getting kinda cranky. tj left me at the mrt saying he had to "settle my surprise" and 5 min later i got this sms saying tt he had been "kidnapped" and ask me to go find him, leaving behind a clue. so off i went, stationed at the 1st pitstop were joce and yun who handed me the next clue. was pretty brain dead and the clue wasn't tt obvious, but thanks to super generous hints, i made it to the 2nd pitstop. station "masters" were ade and del, and finally after some guessing we made it to the lounge in crazy horse, where tj was there waiting... the place was v opulent, tons of cushions, sofas, swinging chairs and beds (i kid u not) and it was v quiet. we had drinks, cut my 2nd cake (which v incidentally was the same one from rive gauche, ade so happened to buy the exact same one). no photos as yet (yun send me the photos by yahoo pls). will update when i've got them.

fantabulous b'day. thanks to tj, my family and friends who made it so. love ya all!
