24
Yayyee!!! Happy Birthday to ME!!! And HAPPY I am! This is the best birthday I've had in 3 years, especially 'cos it coincides with the Singapore Fireworks Festival '07! So I conveniently imagined that the display was in honour of ME! =DThe festival was held on 17 & 18 Aug with Spain and China putting up their firework display respectively. The pyrotechnics were spectacular, but Spain's was definitely superior to China's. I'm not being stereotypical 'cos I really thought China's finale lacked the 'wow-factor' and not to mention that it ended rather abruptly. Whatever it is, fireworks would always be a thrill to watch for me!
A big "Thank You" to Don, Lynn, Chin & Jeremy for the beautiful tie, I love it very much and I was very surprised by the gesture. My birthday was most enjoyable this year not only because I celebrated it with a bang, literally, since it coincided with the fireworks festival, but also 'cos I was in the company of my beloved friends. I don't know which other friends (actually I do, but they are not in S'pore..) would sit in the drizzle with me from 4.30pm just to get the best seats for the fireworks that would only start at 9.30pm - Nura and Ade, I love you to bits for that! We also caught up with Dayah - a friend we've not seen for so looong! (Ade spotted her from afar and we decided to invite her to share the best seats in the house!)
We headed to Chomps for a feast after that, and I finally satisfied my cravings for the barbecued wings, but not before I cursed the guy to choke on his 'attap chee' for hogging the tables together with his bloody inconsiderate friends! Bunch of fools! Back to my feast... barbecued wings, grilled stingray, sambal clams, fried carrot cake, hokkien mee and assorted tow huay (jellied soya beancurd)! Fantastic meal that cost less than $15 per person (There were 4 of us: Nura, Me, Ade & George)! And it was the first time I had late-night supper with Nura! I think she only 'broke the rule' cos it was my birthday and we were also celebrating her promotion! - Thank you... Come to think of it, weren't we suppose to toast each other..? I really hope we can do this more often cos it's bloody fun!!! (Consequences: more gym)
My incredible evening ended with a really special birthday cake - a dozen donuts from Donut Factory with candles stuck in them! My only regret was not having Tina and Fidz with me...Click to see pictures: 17 Aug 2007 & 18 Aug 2007
