my birthdayy! :))

heyy.. it was my birthdayy yesterdayy. okay, i had a number of celebrations with various people. and i'm so happy to receive all the greetings even though it was just a short 'happy birthday, kat!' :)

alright, so on friday (due to my request), our original plan was to have this Seafood buffet at Ritz-Carlton hotel but they obviously find it too expensive.... We decided on Fish & Co. at AMK Hub instead. So as usual (heh), yep, I was late but well, I was too lazy to get out after my late and filling lunch on my favourite fish's cousin - as my mum said it - 豆仓鱼. however, technically i wasn't late@! coz he decided the time to be 1845 and I reached around 15mins earlier.

the people were - Ivan Lim, Tan Hong Rui, Lim Jie Xian and this extra guy, Thomas. ivan is my gunbound friend i knew like 4 years ago, and the rest i just knew from FairyLand haha. i don't just meet any strangers one okay. i had nice chats with them before the outing. i mean, for me to want to know more about online friends, i must really like them.

coincidentally and deliberately for one, we all had New York Fish & Chips. i noticed them whispering and whispering but i didn't think much. until, it was too obvious haha. okay so here goes "fish & co fish & co GO!" and i get a free cheapskate ice-cream, vanilla flavour. but it's the thought that counts right, and it was my very first time having this, celebration.

actually i was supposed to be having dinner with Dennis at The Courtyard, but he had to accompany his girlfriend. however before we confirmed this, i'd already asked them out for dinner. just so coincidentally that it's on the same day, and dennis couldn't make it in the end. i appreciate the kind gesture and the surprise, though. :)

then saturday wasn't so much. i woke up late and missed fetching my moon and michelle, then met the guys up for BTT but the place closed at noon, way before we arrived. meeting gabriel and wuss, we went to this hawker centre nearby eunos for lunch. after which, we travelled to VivoCity for this movie called Body of Lies. not surprised i knew it after the credits, the male lead was Leonardo DiCaprio. we sat at the first front row, so i had a major headache till the rest of the night coz in this movie, it's pretty jerky. well, they're sort of in a war, aren't they.

thanks to jonathan gan, i wasn't the lightbulb for the two. and wow am i surprised jordan kang actually came out to meet us, after what seemed forever. so it was pretty awkward for the two, and lovingly sweet for the two. we settled at HK KimGary Restaurant thanks to adeline's past recommendation. i had the wrapped fish in egg with mushroom sauce, jordan followed suit. jon had korean noodles with ham & egg. gab and wuss had the set meal (which the white sauce doesn't taste nice and it's not that nice overall). jordan had an extra garden fresh broccoli with double cheese, but the cheese tasted like milk instead. mine was the nicest! it was really appetising and once in a million, i finished first! haha. so you can guess how nice it was. i'm going back for that same bowl.

the night ends off with jon and i at the interchange, waiting for his 196. it's been a while we had a chat over the wait and of coz, it was nice. :)

sunday! mum and i decided to patronise KFC after a millioneth day, and they decided to turn us away, just as it was our turn. i hate KFC and i would never wake up early just for their overly-priced breakfast, period. we went to our highly reliable Burger King instead. expensive, but it was worth every while, considering the service and the food quality. i just love that turkey ham croissantwich and those round-shaped hashbrowns.

coz i woke up early, i was basically tired and really lazy so even if i was meeting wen at 7pm, i reached 45mins later *whoops*. and gem was waiting patiently (she had to) at bugis. meibin needed to rush project and derrick, couldn't go. we went to the bbq steamboat opposite parco bugis, right in front of TopOne karaoke. overall the food wasn't bad but it was soooooo warm!!! the fish was nice and quite fresh and maybe the prawns too. notice i didn't say 'very fresh'. i didn't had my fill coz bugis village was closing and actually i had quite a lot. mainly i didn't had much rice, and mostly fed on fish lol.

they took me to bugis village and i bought some things.. well. we took bus 7 home and that marks the end of my birthday. but after that i had a really long and rare chat with steve haha. for someone as busy as him, it's hard to chat with him but all's well, for him and for us. :)

today, monday, the long-awaiting Singapore Flyer lol. we went to Eighteen Chefs which i've forgotten about for 2 years and the food is still as good or even better! For just $11.20 for 2, you get to enjoy a cheese baked pasta/rice, an iced tea, with an additional free ice-cream with chocolate chips! what a delicious meal with that small boy asking if we enjoyed the meal, how sweet can it get. (:

we rushed to city hall, and the 30mins flew past just like that. the peak was only 1675m (or so) and even for someone who's afraid of heights (like me) it wasn't very tall really. i thought i would tremble or something but apparently not. then off we zoomed to Popeye's the sailorman *hoo hoo* and have some biscuits or two. With discounts to Movenpick's ice-cream, we made use of it. some coffee ice-cream which was not bad, but it tasted more like Mocha than Expresso. that chocolate truffle cake was so sweet we had to play scissors-paper-stone to see who finish the last 3 bites. and that wangjie's service was so bad! i wonder if it's because her english is too lousy or she's in a gloomy mood or she just can't serve. i wonder why she has been left in charge alone. i wouldn't trust her if i were the in-charge. and it made me miss the me when i was working slogging for primetrica. i apologise for nothing and everything lol. so polite i was so shocked to realise. but shortly after i quitted, i slowly returned to my normal self haha.

this marks the end. but there's more to come. cuiwen, my moon, and simei part 2. (:

THANKS GUYS. i appreciate everything, deep down inside my heart. even if you didn't wished me, i know you remember. somehow i don't know what i did, there's a handful who CANNOT forget my birthday. gabriel, raymond, steve, jonathan gan. the others like jiekai, chin hong, daniel, derrick always make an effort to remember haha. yea i'm touched! but i really have no idea what 'charm' i did to them LOL. etched in their hearts, i guess. and i believe we won't lose touch. :)
