Bi Shan’s 25th Birthday Celebration
March 07th, 2010 | Author: gabriel

It all started with a 2kg Snoopy Cake… But end up, the Snoopy Cake wasn’t there at all..

Here’s the story:

facebook-event-invitation

Bi Shan threw herself a birthday party cause Deon ordered a 2KG Snoopy Birthday Cake for her… The both of them can’t finish the 2KG cake all by themselves so, she invited her friends in SG and even ordered extra stuffs for us – KFC, Pizza Hut, Canadian Pizza, Pastamania, Dessert Wine, etc.

 

fastfood

So, in her party, there are basically two groups of people.. One, more towards Bishan’s friends. Another one, more towards Deon’s friends

 

bishan's-friends Actually for me, I know most of Deon’s friends cause they were from NTU – my seniors. But they are closer to my sister though, Grace, as they were her juniors. haha..

Anyway, we just mingled, chatted and eat the food we see in her house while Deon and his friends played board games.

Then finally, the birthday cake! Well, the Snoopy Cake didn’t turn up cause the cake shop just didn’t do them.. Maybe it was too complicated?? But the thing is, they didn’t even inform that they are not going to prepare the 2KG Snoopy Cake for them. End up, there’s a 2 X 1Kg Ice Cream Cake from Swensen’s.

birthday-cakes And tada! Surprise!!

surprise Okay fine.. There isn’t really much of a surprise since she threw herself her own party. She even put the candles on the cake herself… We’re quite bad guests actually.. We keep demanding her to prepare drinks for us.. Haha..

Anyhow, she still enjoyed herself.. Can see from her happy face…

Birthday Celebration @ Pu Tien
November 09th, 2009 | Author: gabriel

Had a small birthday dinner celebration with Elaine and the guys at Jurong Point last night. It was very difficult to ‘secure’ their time and most of them are busy with FYP and exams. A big thank you to Ela ine for organizing this and getting people to come.. =)
So happened that night I was to stay overnight in NTU as I will be going to Bukit Batok the next morning. Much nearer to travel from NTU instead of Hougang. Took the opportunity to meet up with them in Jurong Point where they Shaun made reservations to Pu Tien for dinner.

It’s my first time in Pu Tien although I’ve heard of the place quite a few times before that. It’s the Chinese restaurant kind and they ordered a lot of types of dishes.

Actually, it’s been a while since we hang out.. The last time was the house warming a few weeks ago. Anyway, this time round they self-decorated the cake…

As you can see, there’s a number of nicely decorated ‘shits’ down there and the writing says “Happy Sai Birthday”
At the sides, they added in their ‘signatures’

And their gift for me.. A $50 G2000 gift voucher. Haha

Anyway, thanks guys for spending the time out for the night. =)

Combined Birthday Celebration (Gab & Ferdi)
October 31st, 2009 | Author: gabriel

To ‘commemorate’ the birthday celebrations of all the Ipoh October babies in SG, we set a date on the 30th Oct for a mass celebration. The celebration is for myself, Ferdinand Peter and Pinkie. But Pinkie couldn’t join us as she has some family matters to attend to back in KL..
Anyway, our celebration started of with a small group of 8 for dinner (plus Bishan who joined after dinner)  in Bugis Junction where we ate at NYDC.

 

nydc-dinner

We ate a variety of different western food such as lamb stew, chicken chop, baked pasta, spaghetti, sandwich and pizza. I ordered a sandwich served with German sausage in between. This is the ‘appetizer’ to the main event – we headed for Karaoke at kSuite @ Iluma, the new shopping mall next to Bugis Street. There was an addition of 6 more people. It feels like hanging out in Ipoh again where out of 15 of us, only 3 are non-Ipoh and that’s because they are the plus ones. It was thanks to Susan who managed to get us a free room with no rates but provided we ordered alcohol/open bottle at our ‘party’. 

KSuite is one of the better karaokes I’ve been to. The room is quite big with 4 mics and two screens. The song selection screen is a stand-touch-screen-panel and is quite user friendly. There is also a mini-room with a computer inside where you can surf the net and play many pre-installed games. Can even facebook there…

We started singing from 11pm and lasted all the way until 4am. haha.. We had a ‘karaoke rehearsal session’ in the house a few nights before using youtube. We even printed out cheat sheets aka ‘pinyin lyrics’ for some chinese songs cause most of us can’t read mandarin. The session was fun and many went crazy as you can see from the video below.

We had a good time of dancing, singing… We even dance the Wondergirls – Nobody song… And did some impromptu ‘yam seng’ when there was a very long draggy note in the song….

Halfway through, they brought out the birthday cakes to celebrate me and Ferdi’s birthday.

All of us had a great time there.. Thanks for organizing and planning it!

My 24th Birthday
October 27th, 2009 | Author: gabriel

This is my first birthday which I spent it on a night bus… I was back in Ipoh for the weekend and took the night bus back to Singapore with Chee Lim on the 26th.. She’s going to start work in Singapore and is going down to do her medical checkup.. Anyway, I’m in one of the older Sri Maju bus and when the clock strikes midnight, begins my mini-birthday celebration – 2 slices of Secret Recipe in a box. Chee Lim brought it up in the bus to celebrate it with me..

Shall remind myself not to take the 11pm bus anymore. We only reached Singapore at 730pm as the bus took a big detour in JB. Then, there was jam in the expressway on the way back to Hougang as it’s the peak hours.. By the time I reached, it’s around 9am. I’ve to quickly unpack, wash up and get ready to go out for an appointment at 11am. I met up with jit-vern, yee weng, chee lim and yuet min for lunch. We ate at Raffles since everyone is working there (or is around there). Just a short ‘lunch celebration’ with them where we ate at KIlliney Kopitiam in Raffles Place.

Did I mention that being in Singapore is very stressed up. I took leave for the day as well and as my phone is set to receive work emails, I received a lot of e-mails that requires my attention. A few people were chasing me for documents, requirements, etc. Was quite stressed up. I ended up blocking my emails from entering my phone as not to be emotionally ruined on my birthday. haha… Otherwise, leave will be like no leave.

I went back to take a 1-hour afternoon nap before I really start emptying my luggage. It’s good to be at home without any disturbances; tidying up the room, arranging stuff – basically housekeeping stuffs.

Yin Sin planned for my dinner celebration. We met up at Clarke Quay to have Jap Food at Tom Ton! She saw the description of a ‘black pig’ for Tom Ton and wanted to go there.. haha..
Anyway, there we were – we ordered the crispy black pig. It’s very juicy and yummy. *slurp*

Then, she kinda surprised me when they came with a candle on a dessert.

And the day I went back to Ipoh, she did a very thoughtful thing. She bought balloons and made a birthday card and left it in my room. Saying that when I return from Malaysia, I’ll see those things already there waiting to ‘wish’ me Happy Birthday. In case nobody’s around to wish me. Thanks dear =)

Oh, and thanks to all the birthday wishes via phone, sms and facebook. Those really made my day. =D

2-in-1 Celebration
May 09th, 2009 | Author: gabriel

It’s a double celebration of Mother’s Day and Marielle’s Birthday back here in Ipoh. Everyone came back from different countries to commemorate these two events. What a good way to start off my holidays.

We celebrated these two occasions in Ipoh Swimming Club where they serve very affordable and delicious meals!

We even bought a birthday cake for Marielle.
