My last birthday celebration with the area of the 3s... so my friends say must celebrate!:) Hahaha...
My birthday carnival started a little earlier when Rebecca gave me a dianxin treat in Chinatown! :) We always forget to take photo one.. so we quickly took a fast one before we digged in:)
Then I met up with a long time fren I knew since my secondary school days... and us two lao aunty.. spent the whole afternoon joking, giggling and catching pokemon in City Hall... hahahaha:)
It was such great fun!:)
We caught a few interesting things there :) So fun!
And then... Annie celebrated with me by really pampering me!
First she dressed up so nicely and even did her hair nicely...
We went to shop shop a bit to wait for the restaurants to open and when the restaurant was finally opened, we went for buffet:) Always when I go buffet.. must eat lots of expensive green veggies! hahahaha...
Selfie time:) Not many people and we feel like we own the restaurant:)
Our favourite! Annie was saying we always eat sashimi when out for dinner:) hahahaha
I think I am such a boring person.. all the intl buffets I go to.. I will go only for Veggies, Sashimi, singaporean hawker favorites and desserts:) hahahaha
THen she even gave me a present! IT is a hair curler.. she saw when she was doing her hair and thought will be useful for me! How did she know I was thinking of getting one?!:P
THen after treating me to lunch, she gave me another treat... a hair treatment! The last time I did a hair treatment was maybe 17 years ago! And she booked the best stylist to style my hair after...
The hair hor.. dun look very special when it was just done...
Went shopping after that. I was supposed to go shopping with her to buy the things she wants.. end up, she even bought me a Shu Uemura mascarra and brow pencil! Forever grateful...
Then we went to have tea and after some time.... I think the curls just grew on me! No wonder tat guy is top stylist wor.. and really after treatment, the hair is bouncy and fluffy.... so different from the usual!
How apt we were taking photos of these ;)
Had a drink and chatted away...
And then hor, she brought me to her salon.. so tat her stylist can teach me how to use it!
No time to take pic there so only took when I reached home...
His demo on my hair... Korean and Jap style is different hor? ;) Left korean, right jap.. which do you prefer?
My presents! ;) The jap salon was so thoughtful.. when I opened it up, I realized the product came with an additional travel adaptor!
The very thoughtful stylist even sent Annie this photo to remind me what setting to use for my hair:) hahahaha...
It is added plus point that the Japanese stylist is a very handsome young man:) Hahaah
Next day had to go out.. so used all my presents.... brow pencil and mascarra.. The mascarra smells so nice lor.. I love it!
My first time using the curler... not so successful cos I forgot which direction I was supposed to turn... ahahahah :) But after more practice, I did get better and faster.. Annie told me she is happy I use it often cos her other frens that she bought this for did not use it.. I told her it is cos I din wanna waste it.. plus I got lessons mah.. so it is easier for me.. maybe they din know wat to do with it..
THen of course, as usual, have to celebrate with my in laws.. We went out for dinner at JPot and went to their house for cake:)
Tadah, my birthday cake! BIL and SIL bought for me... so nice lor.. and so rich!!!!
Family wefie:)
Then it was celebration at my mum's place...
Sis bought cupcakes for my BD cos she gave me a choice of cakes or cupcakes.. since already had cake.. I choose cupcakes lah:)
And last but not least.. celebrating with my family lor...
Max was bz and so he said he had to work but will go dinner with me and
Ace at surprise place.. Apparently, he did not let Ace in on the venue..
so no one can bao tor the plans to me.. hahahaha..
Truth to be told, I was a little disappointed when Max told me that he will celebrate with me by bringing me and Ace out together for dinner. I was thinking we could have some couple time together... But then I guess the place we are going must have alot of food that Ace likes...
Then he said he will be going to work... so well, looks like no afternoon lunch as well.. and then just as I was feeling a little sian, my frens Veron and Jingwei called me and asked me if I would like to meet up for tea for my birthday:)
So sweet of them... so I said ok lor...
And they even surprised me with flowers.....
And a present:)
Finally arrived at the "secret location" Max was talking about....
It is actually buffet in Intercontinental Hotel ;)
What is a celebration without some wine:)
Ace was so happy to be here.. got pokestops, got lure, got pokemon... and got lots of vegeterian foods he likes:) That is him trying to be funny with the breadstick....
He was so happy to find his fav ORH BEK with a twist... soy milk with xian cao... with a tinge of lavender!:)
Max eating grass....
This cup of starfruit juice deserves special mention... the waiter serving us didn't really give me the impression of being professional cos he is not dressed sleekly... BUT.... You really shouldnt judge a book by his cover cos I found out later he is super observant and also seem to be most senior amongst the waiters there....
He noticed Ace was sneezing away and he brought some starfruit juice with salt because he said it was good for cold...
Ace loved it so much he asked for another cup!:) Hahahahahaha
I asked to take a selfie with Ace and he gave me this "hiak hiak hiak I am trying to pretend to be evil" look....
Saw seafood so took some to try.. and just to compare with the other one I went to and see if seafood is supposed to taste like tat.. I think this is way nicer than the
pan pac one...
No prizes for guessing who this plate belonged to:) Hahahahahaa...
But Ace realized there is crabstick so he dig it out and donate all the crab stick to me..
THere is popiah too... and Max ordered a vegetarian one:)
That is Ace pretending to SAVOUR his soy milk... like he is drinking wine... hahahaha
Max said he saw these in the indian section.. looks like fried veggie... but also looked like soft shell crab.. so I was official tester... conclusion-- soft shell crab... :) Hahahah
I can never have enough of the sashimi!
Must remember to conserve space in stomach for desserts!
WHack lah.. everything also take a little bit...
The old one also copy his son and pose funny poses with the breadstick..
Ace pretending to be a pokemon.. guess which one...
Clue... the Pokemon keeps saying... "Pika pika... Pikachuuuuuuuuu...."
Max admiring his own reflection...
Cheers to good health!
Max went to the dessert counter and got them to make this cake for me.. chocolate lava cake.. YUMS:)
Even the Spearow also came and wish me happy birthday:)
And then, it was time to go home....
An that was how I started the last year in my thirties:) Hehehehe..
