August Birthdays
August is the month where a lot of people I know has their birthdays in it. My Dad, my 2nd sister has back-to-back birthday in August. Then in Singapore, 3 of my friends; De Zien, Shaun and Yi Wang has their birthdays there too! Every year, the ‘organizer’ aka Elaine would begin to trigger us for birthday present ideas and dinner meet-ups. And thus, the birthday celebrations begin…
10 Aug 2010 – De Zien’s Birthday Celebration
We had dinner and drinks on a Tuesday night at Oriole Cafe & Bar. Western dinner with beer for us to soak into the atmosphere.
As it was a weekday and we were outside, we didn’t get him a big birthday cake but instead, a cheese cake!
And we bought him Star Craft 2 as a present for him!
After that, we went for desserts around the area.. Yum Yum!
21 Aug 2010 – Yi Wang and Shaun’s Combined Birthday Celebration
The initial birthday plan was to have food delivery at Pioneer where we’ll play card games and spend the night there… But the usual organizer decided to want have it in town area instead… So, after much last minute discussion and pre-briefing, we had dinner at Tampopo @ Liang Court instead.
It’s a Japanese restaurant and the food is quite good! They have black pigs! hahah
Then they serve different parts of black pigs but they all come looking the same – Fried.
After finishing our meal, we then opened the presents!
Since there were two birthday boys, Yi Wang opened his present first since his birthday came first… And we got him, a Perfume!
It’s a limited edition Calvin Klein ‘Summer’ perfume..
and it smelled …. *sweet*
and the packaging looks.. *girly*
The buyers claimed that they bought the male/unisex version but after a lot of research, we later found out that it’s actually the female version.. hahaha
“sorry Yi Wang, we had good intentions.”
Then next, it’s Shaun’s turn for his present opening.. We made him guess his present with Wai Seng as the interrogator with Yen Ping enjoying the show..
and Shaun was.. well, dumbfounded.
Okay.. Some background here.. After De Zien and Wai Seng bought this present, they had a hard time explaining to people what is it over the phone. Yi Wang had to take 15 minutes explaining the present to his girlfriend..
Eventually, De Zien used two words to describe this present.. “Artificial” & “Vagina”
It’s long, squishy and has beads in it..
After that, we had drinks at eM by the River!
We had some light snacks, beers, and some chats. After all those, one of our birthday boys say that he’s hungry and then we headed to eat Bak Kut Teh at Mohamed Sultan Rd.
And after we’re done, it’s almost 12am already.. Hahah
We then proceeded to Elaine’s house as her place is just nearby. We spent the entire night there playing with the dog in the house, talking, and staring at each other.. We only left at 6am, after the midnight charge has passed.. haha
I think we’re beginning to be old.. Back in schooling days, we could really do that, spend the whole night awake and still be energetic the next day. Now… lolz.. Let’s not go into details.
