Little Miss Kheng

Congratulations to Eddie and Sunny on the birth of their first daughter! Cannot wait to meet her personally but from the photos I got, she looks like mom and has a thick head of hair!

Jackie Turns Thirty

Let me start of by wishing a Happy National Day to all fellow Singaporeans. 

It also happens to be my one of my sister's best friend's birthday. Jackie turns thirty today and she opted to have a "gangster glam" theme for her party. We started off at Jamie's Italian and had a wonderful dinner, although I swear the portions have shrunk. The other time my sis and I ate here, we had the smaller portion for the pastas, and our order for the bigger portion tonight seem to be the same. Maybe it is a Saturday craziness thing. Well, what I really liked was the Crab and Avocado Bruschetta, which went really well with the non-boozy Refresher. 

We then head to Laneway Lounge that possibly had nice music, but it was too noisy to her the band unless you were in the toilet. I could say that the band did sound good while I visited the loo, but the thing that impressed me most was the list of interesting cocktails available. There was a list of cocktails, made with strange infusions that was most likely done in-house as well. Jackie also ordered the Love Bites Platter and some Fatty Fries for those who wanted something to nibble on while they drank the night away. It's a good thing we already had dinner, or I would have eaten all the Arancini that came with the platter. 

As Laneway closed a little too early for the party to end, we ended up at Devilles Pad for more drinking, and to loosen up all the muscles on the dance floor. It was Disco night and it happens to be Jackie's favourite kind. After getting some drinks, she was on the dance floor for the rest of the night, pulling everyone she could with her. I was laughing at all the strange decoration the place had, as well as the really old music videos being projected between two caged dancers. 

Somehow, staying the most sober ended up with me getting hungry at the end of the night. Thank goodness for Jackie's emergency frozen pizza! Good way to end night with everyone boozed out around you. Haha

Week Of Birthdays

I was just thinking the other day that the first week of March will be full of birthday celebrations if everyone I knew threw a party for themselves. My grandfather would have his on the 1st, my cousin's daughter on the 2nd, Airol on the 4th, Ai Li would have her's today. Thank goodness that birthday parties aren't really a big thing once we're done with our 21st. Most of us tend to leave the country now to get away from any birthday surprises and having the birthday song sung by everyone in the village. 

The one thing that could possibly be good for anyone celebrating their birthday these days might be the cupcake trend. One could choose a birthday cake big enough for one, therefore not having to force everyone else to from the same big cake, with the same flavor that might not be to everyone's liking. Another way is to choose a few different flavours, blow out a candle on our favourite flavour, and let everyone else decide what they would like to eat. With most cupcakes being about 4 mouthfuls, these go down without making one feel full of buttercream. 

Now I feel like trying to make my own cupcakes, but first, I'll just eat a few on behalf of the birthdays these week. Oom Nom Nom!

Late Blooms For Mom

Didn't really plan on getting anything for mom for her birthday as I really didn't know what to get her anymore. She gave up on cheesecake and has too much crochet and sewing items. Plus we were having our reunion dinner tonight and getting something to eat wasn't on the top of the list.

So as we were shopping for ingredients for our reunion dinner, dad and I decided to check out Eco Garden to see if there might be a nice belimbing plant I could get. After feeling like a shabby spot was trying to cheat us, we wondered if this location, which was well-organised, would have higher prices. The range and prices here shocked us both with it being really good and the plants looked really healthy. Oh, and can't forget that the staff there were really helpful! That was when dad and I thought that we shouldn't pass up on the orchids there and to get her a birthday present, one that she can also show off for Lunar New Year.

So after choosing the 3 orchids for her, which was a bit tough looking at the amount of really nice ones on sale, we went off with me forgetting that I wanted a chilli plant. Well, when I go back for my full garden supplies, that chilli plant will be on the list.

Happy Birthday Mudder!

Dad's Mini Birthday Party

It's dad's 63rd birthday today and we started early with a little celebration. These 3 bottles were in the fridge, and since he wanted fridge space for making Bak Kwa, out they came! Well the ginger beer was alright, but I've had better. And the others didn't taste like cider at all. Guess we won't be getting anymore of these. Barkley enjoyed them though, and so did dad, so that's good. 

Happy Birthday Old Man!

It's A Boy!

Congratulations Mandy & Puran!
