Birthday In The Toilet

Went to an interesting cafe to celebrate an unusual birthday lunch.
And the name of the place is... which if you pronounce it in Cantonese, it's 'Going Home'
And in order to order your meals, just take a look at their really cutely decorated 'Food Albums'.
And if your hands are itchy for some 'food' games, take a look at what they have installed for you...
In their fridge!!!
They have cards and Mahjong nicely packed in Tupperware... :)
And for the main meal... I had Butter Cream Chicken and...
Lychee Yogurt...
Here's the reason we're at this interesting...
Dear Rei's 21st birthday!!!
With her surprise cake and HUGE glass of jasmine tea...
Yes, it's seriously big.... just see it next that chocolate mint smoothie...
and here's her and her man...
Ms. Money & I with Ms.Blur (Birthday Girl)
Ms.Blur with her roommates.
Before all those cake celebration, here's a lil preview on our lil surprise get-together...

This is Ms.Money doing her 'magic' on the birthday card.
These are the rare times where you'd see such a serious face of hers...
This is when we surrender our gifts to her after the cake and drink.
And of course after everything's done, it's a time for cam-whoring...
Now you can see that that glass is seriously big and not exaggerated... :)
There's a reason why Ms.Money's holding that toilet bowl brush...

Before leaving the 'house', Ms.Blur has a mission to accomplish.
That is to find our birthday wishes on this long metal board drowned in all the other papers... :)
Our little wishes... :)
Now, a lil tour round the 'house'...

The romantic living room.
The Laundry area.
Outside in the garden, the BBQ area.
And of course, you can't miss out the most important place in a house.

The Toilet.
Where all our happiness were,
where the celebrations were held.
(And this explains why Ms.Money was holding a toilet bowl brush earlier.)

Korean Fever At That Moment~~~

Had a taste of Korean on Tuesday with Ms. Money, Ms. Taiwan, and Ms. Taiwan's Friend.
Too bad Ms. Malacca couldn't join us. And also Ms. Sabah.

Boy was it a long long long drive to that restaurant.
Oh no, it's not far.
Just wrong timing. (After work JAM!!!)
The restaurant is in Ampang's Korean Town of coz.

Finally we've arrived, after 2 hours of jamming. (I think)
The restaurant is no fancy Korean restaurant.
Just a lower priced shop with Korean home cozy feeling that serves lower priced but yet good quality food.

Ms. Money and I.
Ms. Taiwan and her friend.
And as usual, at Korean Restaurants, they'll always serve small salads.
It's FOC and refillable. :)
My favourite - KIM CHI!!!
This is some Korean Rice Cake (Sweet & Mild Spicy)
Korean style Pork (Mild Spicy)
Chicken Guts (non-spicy)
Kim Chi Beef Soup (Spicy and totally AWESOME!)
Also my favourite!
The steam of the soup blurred my picture. Ha!
At least you know they serve it steaming HOT!!!
Seafood Vege Egg (Not Spicy)
Not recommended to people who can't stand vegetables or spring onions
(Eg: Mr. Z the Zapper Rapper)
Noticed I've different colour of red on the level of spiciness of the food. :)

All our dishes! Definitely enough for 4 to 6 people.
If small eaters maybe up till 7 or 8?
(Everything's so red!!!)
After dinner, Ms. Taiwan had a mission to accomplish.
Which is to bring me to the shop where she buys these super uber tomato-e sweets.
Totally awesome for tomato lovers like myself.
The sweets soooo tomato-e that it's like drinking tomato juice or just drinking from the ketchup bottle alone!!! (no kidding)
Though my dad and Mr.Navigator thought it was chili sweet =.='
(Don't ask me why)

After dinner, we had no idea where else to go,
so we headed back to Ms.Money's apartment.
Ms.Taiwan and I hid ourselves in her room watching this game show called -
Love Letter.
Totally fake yet real.
Totally pointless but entertaining. (guess that's the point of it. Ha)

Birthday Pastlights...

This post is a lil late. Ok, not a lil but VERY late. Been too lazy to blog till today. (tsk tsk Soyan)
Anyway......

Just when you think turning into the big 2-0 is bad, stop and think again...

For my big 2-0, (yes, I'm 20; sad yet happy =.=') I've celebrated countless times!!! (ok, not countless times, but 5 to 6 times) Even when it's way passed by birthday like the last week of August!!! Not all of them have birthday cakes, 1 of them is not exactly a cake, but still FUN! Thanks alot friends!!!
Appriate it!!! :)

My first celebration was of coz on my actual birth day.
With my dear parents at Chillies!!! Yum~~~

This was my 'cake'
The AWESOME chocolate molt cake with ice-cream and caramel sauce!!!
Dad had his Presidente Margarita which I find it nice but a lil too sour >.<
While waiting for food and my parents were enjoying their margarita, this is what I was up to...
Mom and Dad shared a Mushroom Burger.
I had some chicky, beef and shrimp thingy which I was suppose to wrap them in a I can't remember what bread it is...
(I thought it comes just the meat, and poof, when it was served, the bread came after the meat =.=')
But it was still delicious!!!
Tada... This is how I'm suppose to eat. Felt like a jackoon then.
I love this appetizer because of the Salsa Sauce. It's sooo delicious!!!
Didn't really like their nachos though.
This totally sums up the awesome birthday meal!!! :)
Next celebration was right after my last paper. (Yes, I had my finals before, during, after and worst, ON my birthday!) Sad? i know!

This was an awesome celebration too as I got to celebrate with almost all of my classmates.
Last semester, last day of exams means the last day of college,
which also means the last day to hang out as classmates!!! :(
We went to Redbox to celebrate. This was actually a surprise celebration.
It was supposed to be only singing and hanging out.
Towards the end, Poof!!!~~~
My girls came in with a candle lighted fruit cake.

Nice isn't it?!
This was specially and carefully picked out for me as it has a really thick layer of CREAM!!!
My favourite!!!
Just have to take 1 picture with it!!!
I also had another surprised birthday with a friend of mine who shares the same birthday as me.
Can't call him a twin like everyones else as he's like what, 3 years older?
Anyway, I was holidaying in Sabah with my bunch of classmates then.
Dinnering at Little Italy on the 19th of August.
A famous italian restaurant in Kota Kinabalu town.

This is a funny story. (well, to me anyway)
This waiter came out with this HUGE round cake singing happy birthday.
The both of us, thinking it's someone else in the restaurant celebrating their birthday,
the both of us started singing out loud as well, and my other friends followed along.
The both of us being blind to the surprised, were looking all around the restaurant, wondering who's birthday it was. And the waiter suddenly turned to our table and placed the cake on our table.
Both in shocked =.='
everyone laughing and clapping hands started asking us to make our wishes and blow the candle.
The end.

Another awesome cake with uber uber thick layer of cream compared to the fruit cake.
This is another fruit cake. But not just any fruit cake.
The the king of fruit fruit cake.
DURIAN CAKE!!!
Made by En's uncle. (if i'm not mistaken)
As you cut this cake, you can see that the layer of 'cream' in between the sponge is actually fresh durian flesh and not those processed durian cream.
The other Leo.
As for the chinese (I think),
everytime there's a cake, and right after the 'star' blows the candle,
friends will then push the candles deeper into the cake and expects the 'star' to bite the candle out.
And just as the 'star' bites the candle, friends will then push the 'star's' face into the cake.
You know the ending to my point.

Well, I did that to my 1st Fruit cake.
So now it's the other leo's turn.
The sad case was, it's Durian!!!
He'll have to tahan the smell all over his face till we reach home.

Tada!!!
There were a few other celebrations in between my 2nd and Sabah's celebration.

My last happy birthday was wished during my dinner with Mr. Driver, Mr. Z the Zapper Rapper and the Low Brothers at Chillies again!!! :)

This is thanks to Mr. Driver for his planning :)
Look at him, happy feller with is not-so-happy steak.
Mr. Z the Zapper Rapper chewing his chips.
Low Brother 1 doesn't look happy with his burger...
Wonder why?
Low Brother 2 looks uber happy though.
I was happily taking other people's pictures, and once i was done, i started eating, forgetting to take my own dish's picture.
Haha, silly me...

Oh wait, just remembered, I had a pre-birthday dinner and also to celebrate an old yet forever young Leo - My Dad, with my neighbour's family.
(My most expensive birthday dinner ever!!!)
Now you see why I asked to stop and think again?
Now you see why I said turning into the big 2-0 is not so bad?
It was totally A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

Thanks you guys!!!

P.s: although I'm officially 20 now, but I still feel 19!!!!

Forever 19 baby!!! :)

Talk about bad luck =.='

Woke up pretty early today. Class was at 930am, was ready by 9am.

Today, I've experienced one of those days when you have total bad luck.
Like nothing works out, or something bad happens to you.
Well, yeah, today was that.

When I was about to get out of the house, the top of my gate key broke the night before and i forgot to fix it. So, with everyone else out of the house before me, I couldn't let myself out of the house. Tried to fix it and all but still couldn't. Tried to look for a spare key, realised that my sis was using the spare key. =.='

Around 925am only I thought of using my back door. Locked the door, the gate and pad-locked it. Climbed over the wall and down I go (staying on the 1st floor) to my car. Drove off to college, was over half an hour late. (Even when my key was working.)

Was suppose to go out with Mr. Drum Hero and Mr. Navigator, but had something important at home that i had to attend to before meeting them. Went home, when I was unlocking the back gate and pad-lock, then did i notice that I didn't have the key to open the door!!!!! !@#$%^

Tried to use the key to open the main gate, then did I noticed I didn't have the keys to open the rest of the locks!!!! !@#$% (again!) Mr.Navigator called, had to cancel. So sorry. And called my Dad to come rescue me, and he was in KL!!!

While waiting for my Dad, tried to look for things that can help me open the kitchen window so that I can unlock the door from the inside. Failed of course. But, I did managed to unlock the main gate with the back gate key. Was trilled, tried to unlock the pad lock, didn't work =.=' So i tried using cards to unlock the main door so that I can reach for my actual keys. Failed of course, with my card dented and scratched.

So then I sat at the main gate waiting for my Dad while off and on trying to unlock the main door.
1 hour later, Dad arrived back and passed me the keys and released me from this insanity sitting at the main entrance, sweating like a roasted pork!!!

And this isn't the 1st time being locked out of the house, but it was my 1st time being locked inside my house...
Talk about bad luck =.=' !@#$%^&*
