还算可以的生日

I don't normally backdate blog entries, most of the time if i feel like blogging about a certain stuff one day, but failed to do so, most likely the other day i will not feel like blogging about it already. But this will be an exception (since it's already being drafted for more than 2 weeks + already ..)

And so it is, 25 years old. Why are the memories of 15 years old still fresh to me ... 我要你们回来 ...

Birthday celebrations this year started off with a visit to Zoo, a place i last went during my polytechnic days, a count should be around 7 or 8 years ago. Hmm seems different already, much bigger (or is it?) i have to say, or is it because the me of the younger days simply did not comb the entire area. Anyway it really brought back the childhood memories, zoo visit was a must during the primary school excursion days (signing of parent consent forms, buying of food to bring along for the trip), apple even said her last zoo visit was back then, that's decades ago ...

What i found more interesting about the animals had to be the live feeding show, otherwise if i wasn't walking around the zoo, i think i may just fall asleep in the trip. Not that i am complaining, it still is a pretty decent place to go once in a while. Saw the white tigers, which reminded me of the poor zoo worker who was killed by them some time ago. Realised i had not watched the video before, immediately went to find it online when i returned home, hmm not much comments, i think maybe the video is not the complete version, but anyway the full version and the people who happened to be there as the attack happens, they must remember the horrific incident for quite a while. Gross.

Then we headed to turf city for dinner. We walked around, changed our minds a few times, walked around some more, and finally decided on the Chong Pang BBQ Buffet Steamboat (marina south style ...) The food were ok, except for a few oil spurting incidents ... ok this should be the last time we are eating this type of steamboat. After dinner we went to Holland Village Swensen's, as it is operating 24 hours. Cut my first birthday cake of the year - Cookies 'N' Cream Ice Cream cake!


Not bad, except that it still melted slightly despite my fastest attempts to send it home after the celebration ended. Thank you guys and girls !!

Next up was with YYMS. This year was very much shorter compared to our usual activities and celebrations. So short that we all took MRT home and reached home before 11pm. We went to Marina Square, originally wanted to eat at the Yaki Yuki buffet, reached there at 6.30pm but were told the next table is at a shocking 8.45 pm !!! When the waiter told me i was like "What? Did i hear wrongly?" But this is not the first time i encountered actually. Previous time i was there, they also gave a very long reservation time, only to shorten it by more than 50%. I was actually feeling the same thing could happen this time, but turned out we didn't have much to do, so we decided to have dinner already.

We went to Muthu's Curry at Suntec, and barely had our butts warmed our seats, i received call from Yaki Yuki saying table is available. A check on my watch says 7.15 pm, ok lesson learnt - next time it is ok to wait. Decided to cancel the table since we already sat down, and the food were decent too. I think the spiciness is still acceptable, then again why do you want to eat there if you can't even take abit? The waiters couldn't stop rapping, minus the food ordering and confirmation part, i couldn't catch another word they said. Especially the time when we asked him what is this and that when the food were served, really is "catch no ball ..."


Afterwards we went for dessert, and it is then i received 2 presents. A Sony Ericsson bluetooth handsfree set and a wallet, one useful and one not so, at least for now. My current wallet is still decent condition, plus i also don't feel like changing it. But i'll keep it first in case my finance starts to turn for the bad, oh man if that's the case i hope not to use the wallet =(


Ok so you all are wondering what happened on the actual day? Met another person, cut another cake. I guess this entry is getting long enough, so it will be for me to know .. and for you all to find out. Happy 25th Birthday to Me again!

Mid 20 crisis coming soon ...

As the title says, I will be turning 25 in officially 22 days time. Where has all the young, carefree days gone? To be frank, i am not too concerned about myself turning 25, just a little turning back and looking at my life so far and wondering if i could have done any better.

So i expect a rather busy month in store for me, normally will be the usual 3 groups of frens celebrating. YYMS - seems like a first time trip to Chinese Garden for birthday celebration, finally, a get-away from the usual celebration in KTV. SIM frens - pending a Zoo outing, originally Zoo outing was supposed to be yesterday, but last minute cancelled, which proved to be a good thing because it was raining the whole of Sunday, phew.

And last is ARK and frens, provided our sailor fren kf can come back in time, which i am rather unsure about, but still hope he can make it, because it has been extremely long since we last caught up with each other. Close to a year, rather shocking. Last time we used to hang out weekly, at the worst case ever possible was at least monthly, now yearly!! But it is good, in a way, because now 2 out of 3 are attached, and it really affected us hanging out. Last time when we frequently hang out were the times all of us were single, but this also means 我已经感受到一点压力 ... bad for me, but still happy for them.

Restaurant City has a new feature, where you can grow your own ingredients, i went to forum to check out for any tips and tricks or any information on it. Came across a site where one was explaining how the seeds work, and people were asking all sorts of questions. So it seems all types of ingredients can be grown from the seeds, you can actually expect ice and water to be harvested. I planted 3 seeds on my first try, got basil, bayleaf and coffee beans. Now planted all 9 seeds, only able to harvest tomorrow, let's see whether it is true that all ingredients in RC can be grown ...

However this one question caught my attention.

One asked: "Will the ingredient market guy steal our ingredients that are planted? Because he is standing just in front of our garden."

This stealing ingredients stuff i believe came from a certain game, wonder if it is Barn Buddy or something, Saw many of my friends playing, but doesn't seem interesting enough.

The person replied with a picture ...
