OG Meetup

Met up with the OG people, since it was their holidays.
This time, we chose Chinese food, at one of my favourite Chinese restaurants!

I love dipping these beans into their signature chilli sauce.

Drunken cockles!
I've never liked cockles. I only eat cockles that are cooked thoroughly or covered with garlic (like the above).

The very tall red velvet cake, with one side smashed.






Lo and behold, red velvet!

He has at least 20 solo shots in my camera, all with different expressions. Hahaha.
Happy birthday, happy boy!

PK's 21st

This post is dated way back from October.


PK invited a group of us to The White Rabbit on her 21st birthday.

She created her own birthday menu out of the restaurant's.
She selected a few dishes and made them into a little menu for us, with thank you notes at the back of single menu to thank us for turning up for the birthday celebration.

I chose Mac and Cheese with truffle.
Well, most of us did because of the truffle.

I love the way they serve the dish, with little carrots cut out to look like the normal-sized ones.
Even the spring peas were peeled and laid out nicely at the side.

Carbonara, which was as good.

These vintage finds were all collected in that little corner outside the restroom.
The area was dimly lighted, decorated with quaint items and even had a stool for people who are waiting for the restroom.
It doesn't even feel like a restroom!

I loveeeeeee all the birthday props she brought along for photo taking.
Look at that sheep.
ALL HANDMADE.

Her birthday cake by Baked by Lace!
It was supposed to look nicer than this but the kitchen staff removed the ribbon at the side, which resulted in that mess of cream.

And the happy girl with her birthday cake!

What is wrong with everyone?
Before I left for my field studies trip, everyone's asking when I'm free because they want to hold birthday celebrations for me. All I wanted was BBQ with my family at my grandma's.


When I'm back, I have birthday dinners planned for me. On days that most people are not free. Now I have a cake I didn't choose and no BBQ. And everyone's quarrelling over everything. I've never felt so disappointed before. It's not like I'm expecting a big celebration or anything. I just wanted to do what I've always wanted - BBQ with family.


Now, I want no celebration this year. I just want a day without anyone bothering me.
