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!
