MY 19TH BIRTHDAY (Part 1)

Heheh hi guys, I'm here to update about my birthday week!!! :) Everybody's excited when it comes to their birthday because no matter what, there will always be this part of you wanting people to do something special for you, wanting people to plan celebrations for you, wanting people to be there with you. I'm always super excited for my birthday to come because it is at the front part of the year and people tend to be more free during this period! However, for this year, dont know whether it is because my birthday came too fast too rush or it is just me being one year older again cause I somehow did not expect anything big. I just want a simple celebration with family, friends and love. Even if they didn't plan anything for me, though I will be really disappointed but I wouldn't mind as much as past few years, haha I don't know how to explain this type of feeling.

Oh yes, many of you would have know that my birthday = my anniversary with my love. Hahah times flies so fast and it was already our 3rd year tgt!!! Really didn't feel so long at all, hope our love fire will continue to burn as passionately as ever. <3

Ok so without much more delay..........
This was what happened on my actual birthday (10 March)!! :)

Woke up to delicious lunch cooked by daddy with lots of love!!! Just nice this year my chinese bday falls on the same day as my english bday so I got to eat the longevity noodles ^^ nowadays it is so important for guys to know how to cook!!! Definitely a bonus point! Keke :P

 
The scrapbook kinda card that I made for him for our 3rd year! Spent quite a few hours doing it man, not easy.. but once you get it... hiak hiak hiak easy peasy!! :) Really love the entire thing that I made, PROUD PROUD though the front cover looks childish but I think it is very very niceeeeeee :P It consists of quite a few flaps and 'windows' inside where there are more details, pictures and heartfelt words <3 I don't know why but silly boy was saying he dare not open and read the card, hahaha!!

So next, met up with him in the late afternoon!! 

We went to Funan Mall to check out my new baby!!!! Do you know what is it??? :D Ok but we did not buy it because his godma got better deals for us, so yay to burning a smaller hole in our pockets haha!! & off we went for our dinner at Keppel Bay!

I've been wanting to check that place out for quite some time because it feels like you are out of the bustling city area, just chilling by the river, enjoying the breeze and admiring the yachts. I wanna go on a yacht party or sth!! Damn cool but so damn ex!
Love the view!!

The food!! They were ok lah not bad but yes again, he being him 'complaining' that the food was bad, haha irritating!!! It's more about the feel, the ambience okay! Keke :P I think it was one of the most romantic place we have ever been to for our meals/dates.


Sadly we didnt take proper/nicer pictures there!!! As can be seen above, my top looks ultra weird in the picture when it wasnt suppose to look like that LOL and then my face looks distorted due to the below angle shot cause I wanted to capture the lovely blue sky as well! Super love the view over there! Great place to watch the sunset as well :)


Haha oopsy I'm always flipping my eyes whenever I'm with him because he is superrrrrrrr idiotic!! :P Went home afterwards because my family was waiting for me to go home and cut cake :) Though it was just a short day out, but it was more than enough to explore new places in sg with him hehe, felt like we were overseas for a moment :D

 

It really felt like it has been a super long time since I last cut a cake/ celebrate my birthday because the whole wish, cut, blow thing felt so foreign to me. Crazy alrdy... haha! And wth.... I have been wishing in a praying manner......... if you even realised my hands.. HAHA! oopsy daisy




Really thanks to my beloved family for everything!! <3 Hope we will all stay as youthful and young like in the picture, haha I think my dad and mom look like my friends? or my siblings? Ok that's a good thing :D and hope that my love will continue to celebrate my birthday tgt with me for as long as possible :)


Hope you know how much you mean to me, I just love everything about you, about US! :) hahahah I have to act short in that picture above HAHA! I think that's the perfect height!! But oopsy I'm taller but ofc shorter than him but he still says that I'm very short..... oh well.... but he himself is also short ok..... 

I've been wanting to take nice new polariods with him for the longest time but always didnt have the chance or someone to help us take!! SO I grab the opportunity and asked my sis to help me take, wahaha steady pom pi pi one! :P



Sorry if you felt awkward taking the pictures infront of my sis hahah but I know you also love how the pictures turned out to be keke cause you were happily choosing 2 for urself to keep :D 

//Thank you for always tolerating my nonsense, tantrums, petty-ness, rants, cravings, likes, dislikes, flaws and for being spontaneous in joining me to do things that I want to do. Though I've been envious of other couples who get to see and stick to each other everyday but after awhile I realised that once you reach a certain maturity stage in the relationship, all the 24-hour texts, everyday meet-ups aren't so important and wow anymore because just knowing that he is happy, he is safe and the fact that he still loves you is more than enough. I can say that he is never the romantic or perfect kind of guy who will spend money to buy me flowers, buy me branded gifts, plan the entire outing and overload me with sweet nothings but he is the type who will specially do a hand made card for me on special occasions, tell me that he is free to go on a cafe hunt with me knowing that I've got a list to strike off, take care of me even when he is busy or lazy, make me excited and happy so easily and support/encourage me in everything I do. This is already enough, it is more than what I can ask for. Thankful for you, my angel. There is still a long way to go and I hope to finish this journey with you, x.//

Little things that matter

\\ JC CLIQUE GATHERING //


That day was having steamboat tgt with my jc clique!! :) Glad that we made an effort to meet up or have gathering at least once a month! And everytime we have an outing or gathering, there will be new interesting activities, awesome :D Coupled with each and every funny, crazy, spontaneous individual in the clique, everything will just be double the fun, double the laughter, double the love!! <3

We had the whole big room to ourselves!! We can dance and even play catching inside man, it's bigger than the usual condo's conference room or sth.

Love self timer!!! <3

Everybody who was present then! FULL STRENGTH + another classmate! :)

Pearlyn, Ruiying, Marjorie and ME.


Haha you can see that marjorie and I are the best in changing our facial expressions and make unglam faces, then the rest of my friends are always giving glam/same faces hahah!! :P

Soon it was night time and we played Truth or Dare! We started with Truth where we had to draw lots to pick a question from a box of many questions to answer. Haha the questions were found online by my friend so some of it were kinda interesting! Oh yes there was a question which is like, 'If you have a chance to be some one else in the room, who would you want to be and why?' and they chose me!!! The reason was mainly because I am very family-oriented with big family love and alot of good friends. 

Seriously, very honoured to hear that and happy to know that. Last time played this question amongst my cousins and I and my cousin also chose to be me, because she said that I have a very interesting life and I seem to be enjoying it with many friends, events, activities, etc. Really very happy to hear such things, wouldn't you??? :D I didn't know that many people would want to be me, have my life and I'm still here complaining about this and that. I guess most of us would love to have a close knitted big family because that's where the greatest love of all comes from. I should really cherish it! <3

\\ FAREWELL WITH COLLEAGUES //
Though that day wasn't my last day but it was my last day working tgt with 2 of my bestest colleagues there so we decided to have supper tgt after work since we 3 were doing the closing tgt hehehe!! Couldn't wait for the senior staff to end work so we can relax at work and have crazy time!! Kekek :) 



Went to Xin Wang Cafe for supper because that's the only stall that's open other than Mac at 10pm plus. We ordered the icecream caramel toast, custard buns and a super tall mango ice dessert! The food were satisfying and we had such a great time laughing and chatting over anything!! Mostly about work though, but also about our life too. Keke, hope there will be more outings in the future. Like bringing one of my colleague to try clubbing and buffet!!!! :D YAY LOOKING FORWARD!

xoxo!!

\\ FOOD HUNTING WITH JAYNE //
Off we go to try out 2 places on my list straight after our work on Saturday. I was soooo sleepy but luckily the food that we tried made up for it keke :)

First, we went to Novena for Tonkotsu Kazan Ramen's Volcano ramen!
It is just a small shop located at the 2nd floor of Novena Square 2. You can easily spot the volcano image while taking the escalator up haha. 

This is how you cook the ramen with the lid on. Initially, jayne and I wanted to order one each but the waiter insisted that we order only one bowl to share cause the serving is really huge plus there is a bowl of free rice that comes with it. So okay, we heeded his advice and ordered one to share.

This big stone bowl came and can you see the steam coming out? Really really hot!!!

TADAH!!! Our really big bowl of goodness!!!!! Actually we shouldn't ordered the Seafood one that Jayne wanted to order because the one above which was my choice was like a big bowl of veggies and ramen. Ughhhh, we don't really fancy veggies so..... but we still finished them! Hahaha we were thinking, actually we can finish one bowl by ourselves man because the soup is yummy and there isn't alot of ramen but more of the ingredients! AND THE PORK SLICES ARE AMAZING!!!! Very tasty and melts in your mouth but sadly, there isn't alot of it, boo... 

After we finished our ramen, we asked for the free bowl of rice and we are recommended to mix the bowl of rice into the remaining soup! and not bad, very korean style hahah. YES, we ate them clean!!! Especially the soup, we 2 are definitely the ramen and soup lovers!! HIGH FIVE SIS <3

Total Damage: $27
10 Sinaran Drive #02-68/69 Square 2
Singapore 307506 (Novena MRT)


We were so full after that so we walked around hoping to do some shopping and nth really caught our eyes, so we went to Bishan to catch Non-Stop the movie!!! :) The movie was not bad and as you get to guess who the bad person is!! Keke ^^

After that we headed to Lorong Chuan for Wimbly Lu's desserts!!! :)
It is located among the condos and private estates, so good that those ppl living there get to have yummy desserts whenever they want. Also, it's right beside The Cajun King, one of the places that I would like to try too. Hahah, nice choice, after Cajun King you can shift to Wimbly Lu for dessert, *thumbs up* or maybe Wheeler's Yard which is somewhere around that area.

The place is so cosy and romantic especially at night cause there are fairy lights all around but the con is that it can be kinda squeezy cause the tables are very near each other considering that it is a very small shop. Ok and we ordered a lot to share :P

1) One Root beer cake with vanilla icecream
2) One cup of Ice chocolate
3) One pot of Earl Grey Tea
4) A Lemon Meringue Tart

5) The legendary Waffle with Salted Caramel icecream with Maple Syrup!!

We definitely love the waffle and salted caramel most!!!! It really live up to it's reputation of being one of the best or maybe the best waffle in town! :) YUMMZZZ!! :) We spent around 2 hours +/- in that cafe eating and chatting. Life's simple like that :) 

Total Damage: ~ $38
