Ai Ai's Celebration
This week has been celebrated with 2 biFdaYs from 2 of the dearest ppl to mE - My old man & My 'Da Jie'~
And of coz~ Both celebrations were just as great and memorable to mE~
We were to celebrate Aiying's biFdaY this day (which happens to be the actual day as well~ :) )
All 8 of us - Jiansheng, jOanna, yoke (no not yokey 'enthu' yoke~ But yoke lim. hehe), junfeng, xUeli, Kevin Pillay, mE and of coz the biFdaY gaL~ With 3 other friends joining us for the cake cutting later - Fuji, Josephine and Martin~
Pillay and i were the first to meet up @ around 4pm @ bugis~ We had some stuffs to accomplish which toOk us from Bugis Junction and then to Cityhall~ From citylink to Marina Square we went.. and finally settling upon Raffles City area~ Hmm.. it was probably the first time we both had to make certain decisions together~ lol It took quite awhile.. but it was all worth it in the end~ ;) All the while we were talking about studying overseas.. how the life is there.. adapting to new environments etc.. You see, he is leaving to study in Brisbane on the 10th of feb~ First time la.. so having the experience of 1 year.. i could tell him some stuffs and what to prepare/expect~
The Original meeting time was 7pm @ Cityhall mrt~ xUe and jf came earlier @ 6.30.. so the 4 of us decided to head on to Swensons at marina to get a place for 10 ppl~ (becoz ljs - lin jiansheng did not place a reservation.. o.O) It was difficult to get a space at that timing.. esp on a sat.. so it toOk us a while.. and finally we got space (after much asking to the reluctant manager who seemed to not want to accommodate 10 of us.. =\ ) at around 7.10pm~
We waited pretty long for the rest to come.. finally all arrived @ 7.45 - 7.50pm~ We were kinda disheartened at how late the others came initially.. i was mostly just tired.. but xUe & jf were more crestfallen~ But dwell we shan't on such matters~ Happy times await us! =)
Everyone loOked great~ ljs had a new neck-chain which i noticed lol.. xuE had a nice hair-cut which was done in the afternoon, yoke was chirpy and pleasant looking as always, aiying cute in her pink blouse, and of coz jO was dressed as alluringly as ever~ ;)
*Pillay . mE . xuE . jf . fuji . josephine . martin . yoke . jO . aiying . ljs*Finally we could start ordering our dinner~ And i have to report this to everyone out there.. NEVER and i seriously mean EVER try Swensons' "Salmon & Mushroom Pasta" or something like that.. it is by far the WORST tasting piece 'o crap pasta i've ever eaten in my entire life! And i even have both xuE and jf to be my proof! It looks nice and tasty on the outside... but hell.. the inside is not even a shadow of what it seems to be! lol~ >.<"" It was absolutely, almost totally blend and diluted and.. as xuE puts it, "tastes like uncooked yellow mee"~ haha.. Probably the only gD thing about it is the (surprisingly) tasty smoked salmon and mushroom scraps - by this i mean a few pieces which i can literally count with my hands.. lol~ >.<
In the end, not wanting to waste the $13.60 that i had to pay for, i resorted to dumping huge amounts of the cheese and chilli seasonings that were lying on the table. Even after that, it only tasted a little bit edible~ lol
It was a "new" dish as the menu had stated.. and apparently xuE and jf also said they had tried a "new" dessert which i have forgotten the name.. and it sucked as well~ lol. So the lesson which i have learnt from all this? - Never try the "new" stuffs! Regardless of where u are.. its best to just take the regulars or the "famous" ones.. and wait for ur friends to tell u if the "new" ones are any gD~ haha.. =X
Haha.. but apart from that, dinner was great~ esp in the company of all my gD friends~ which is more impt to mE~ =) After dinner~ We waited awhile for Fuji, Josephine & Martin to join us for the cake celebration~ Haha.. now the Swensons' staff will actually put on funny hats and sing biFdaY songs together with us~ as can be seen in the video which i have uploaded onto my multiply site - http://186cmkia.multiply.com
Of coz, having learnt my lesson, I toOk the effort to capture photos and videos! =D
All of it can be seen in my multiply site, which is a place i'll upload all my stuff from now on~ However, not any tom, dick or harry, anna, jane or mary can see.. only my friends can~ Dun wan to anyhow let strangers see la.. private stuff for friends & family only~ ;)
*jO . ai ai . yokE*
*fuji . aiying . josephine*
Finally, we headed to the mrt to leave for our homes~ We walked through the exact same path which mE and the 39 gang had "rushed" through after our HK cafe session~ haha~ Only this time, it was much slower and at a comfortable pace~ lol~
*xuE . aiying*
*mE & my Jie*
We toOk the train to Marina Bay so as to get seats.. and then i was suppose to stop at Cityhall again... but i didn't. I decided to stay on with my classmates and even had the intention of taking all the way to Yishun! (in which i would most certainly miss my last train back home =X) But that didn't bother me much.. to mE, spending time with my friends is all that matters and all i wish for.. nothing else mattered~ In that 'extra' time, i managed to take photos (again! =D) with some of them~ and i also managed to have a nice chat with jO as well~ =)
In the end, i was persuaded by xuE, jf and jO to stop @ Yio Chu Kang and quickly take the train back home~ haha.. but unfortunately for mE, the train back only ran till Toa Payoh~ Uh-oh~ haha.. no worries~ I had no choice but to take a cab home from Toa Payoh that cost me $9.75! Yikes.. >.<" Oh well.. as i told xuE via sms.. i hardly ever do this~ So once in a while is alright~ ;)
*HaPpy biFdaY Ai Ai~!!*
