This has to be one of the years where I had the most cakes.. and most celebrations.. I want to thank all my darlings for taking the time off to meet me for catch-ups and birthday cakes! =)

I know I still owe all of you photos.. but I haven't had the time to upload them.. I promise I will do it this week!

Went for a makeover photo shoot on my birthday, complimentary from The Makeover Inc. Though I ended up paying $100 for the photos, it's something I've always wanted to do. Hence, money well-spent. haha.. My own weird 'logical' explanations. I will upload the photos after I get them.

Decided to indulge myself in spa after that, to relax my tired muscles after the SBR 10km run on Sunday. Not bad, quite good. The lady wasn't too pushy as well. Walked to Fullerton and then Esplanade for dinner at Ichiban. Nice place to chill! Not too crowded, I like.

Managed to meet up with Brennie and Cerise on Tuesday at TCC Central. They got me a cake, at my preference. haha very nice! Warm and moist.. Brennie wasn't feeling too well that day, and it seems like many people are falling sick. Take care, people! Dont' fall sick! =)

Went to Brotzeit at Vivo with the ex-81 darlings on Saturday. It's a very nice place to chill, and the beer is quite nice too! Not too heavy, acceptable. I thought it's pretty nice and drank quite alot! hmm.. like Cerise said, we all felt quite sleepy after that.. It's the alcohol acting as a depressant la.. haha.. But with the sea breeze, dim lightings and nice ambience, I wouldn't be surprised if I started feeling sleepy from drinking fruit juice!

I would recommend you go there, even if you're not planning on trying authentic German food (like pork knuckles). I quite like the sausages.. just not the spicy one. It tasted a little like otak-otak to me.. haha.. The beer tasted like soft dirnks, according to JY.. =) You can go there and judge for yourself!

And yesterday, our darling xiang hosted us to lunch at her house! To celebrate the long overdue birthdays of loo, irene and me. She whipped up a delicious meal of Ham & Sausage Baked Rice in Cabonara, Baked Drumstick in nice-marinated-sauce-which-i-have-no-idea-what-is-that, and small side dishes, ended off with a Strawberry Cheesecake for her birthday darlings! (Photos are up in FB).

It's good to have friends who cook well. hee..

With the strings of meet ups last week, my week flew by in a whim and it's back to Monday Blues for me.. Thank you once again, to everyone who managed to squeeze time out to celebrate my birthday for me! It's been a heart-warming week~

I love you guys!!!!!! =)

i'm officially counting down to my birthday..
7 days away!!!
haha sorry ahs i'm a birthday-person.. 'cause it's like a day specially meant for a person..
like, MY day kind of feeling..
and it's like an excuse for me to meet up with friends and people i haven't seen in ages..
and a day for me to use as an excuse to pamper myself, doll myself up, go out and enjoy myself..
hahaha so yes.. i love birthdays..

people i'm scheduled to meet are..
1) my dearie brian (it sounds abit silly to say this, but i want to put him on my list. hee.. )
2) xianglooyun
3) cerise, jy, ling and hl
4) 02S81!!
5) my darling PS~

hmm anyone else lehs.. not that i can remember.. haha
that's basically all my close friends liao..
although doesn't seem like alot, but that's alot of people to meet up for my birthday..
'cause i'm fully packed next week! (not that i mind though)

hmm it just suddenly struck me..
that this time last year i was preparing for my 21st..
haha confirming attendance, venue, food, deco..
and how loo and irene helped me so much for my birthday preparation.. and how we will just get so excited when each other's bday draws near.. (for me, esp loo's bday)

i'm so excited about this year's bday too~
i get to celebrate with someone special, and also meetup with so many friends..

can't wait for my birthday to arrive.. but i don't want it to be over.. sighs..
1st time that i'm looking forward to a monday on sunday..

lalala~

ohs by the way.. i just baked brownies again! and i forgot to take pictures again! alamak.. haha
i added walnuts this time, and i think it doesn't taste too bad..
and then i tried another recipe which irene gave me.. it's not too bad, but i prefer the previous one.. not so sweet, and alot more chocolatey.. (which makes perfect sense, considering the fact that i added alot more chocolate to the 1st recipe)
but well, personal taste and preference.. people who like sweet stuff will prefer the 2nd recipe..
(hmm.. people who likes sweet stuff.. reminds me of someone.. haa~)

so since i've succeeded in brownies, my next challenge will be muffins!! muahahah
i'm going to attempt baking new stuff.. so that i won't keep baking the same things.. so boring de.. but before i try that, i need to get the tray for baking muffins 1st.. =)
so exciting too.. muffins~~

i've been attacked with the flu virus!!!! =(

down with flu and sore throat (which has hence transformed into a bad cough)
and my voice changed liao~ sighs...
so jialat la..
and that's not the worst thing!
the worst thing is.. i still have to report for work despite being sick!
no la not that my boss is mean and don't let me take off, but i'm not sick enough to not report to work. so just come lor, and pray that my condition don't worsen throughout the day..
so people, drink more water and take care of yourself ah.. don't fall sick like i did..

hmm what i just said sounds familiar.. sounds like someone's constant reminder to me.. -oops- ^^

by the way, it's August!!!! it's officially my favourite month of the year..
which should really be the other way round, 'cause it just means i'm gonna grow old soon..
alamak..
hahahha but that's ok.. wisdom comes with it ;)
me and my colleagues decided that 'wisdom' is a disguise to make ourselves feel better with the increasing number of candles on the cake..
sighssssss
but hey, IT'S AUGUST!!!!!!!
*smiles*

hopefully i can take some pictures of my office and post it up or something like that.. should take some pictures with my colleagues =)

speaking of photos.. anyone of you ever look back at your old photos?
not too long ago kind la.. like maybe, 3 years ago kind..
i was looking through photos in my desktop the other day (out of boredom) and to my horror..
i look so ugly
i literally went 'OH MY GOD' when i saw my old photos. i look horrible la~
with the ugly hair and specs.. and i look fat..
i'm NEVER gonna look like that again.. (if i can help it la)
so people, when i start binging on food or cut back on my exercise, show me my old photos..
hmm maybe i should just develop the ugliest photo and carry it everywhere i go..
omg.. i still can't believe i looked so ugly.. haa not saying i look very nice now..
but that was just horrible..
my reaction was like kua diu gui la~
hahahahhaha

but look on the bright side. i don't still look like that now.. hahhahaa
