A Month of Festive Season & Celebrations

For most of us, February is a month of festive season. As for myself, this month is especially meaningful. Cos my bdae falls on the last day of Feb (not the 29th of course). This post summarises how I've spent the month of Feb.

First in the line will be CNY. Should have been Valentines Day, but not applicable to me as I've got no one to celebrate the occasion with. Anyway that day I was on afternoon shift as well.

Day 1 of CNY was a boring day for me. Fyi, I disliked "bai nian" as I am not close to any of my relatives. Only see their faces like once a year. Most of them I dun even know how to address them properly. So I ended up spending my time at the gym. Thank god they open even during CNY.

Day 2 was ktv & movie session with Ki Siao Gang. Went to partyworld orchard. Was misled by the waiter that 1 mandarin orange cost $8.80. They served 2 plates, a total of 8 mandarin oranges which we thought would cost us a good $64++. We kept complaining until the bill came. Lucky it was just mis-communication. $8.80 was the cost 1 plate (4 oranges). So the bill came cheaper than expected. After ktv, we proceeded to Cineleisure for a quick dinner and movie. Settled our dinner at the basement Jap fast food outlet. Had wanted to eat at Long-John but the place was fully packed, same for KFC & Burger King. Watched The Protege. We expected the tix would be sold out so we went to buy tix before the ktv. The storyline was not too bad, with some gore scenes. Was abit disappointed with the ending though.

Day 3 was house visiting to my colleague Julliane's house. Spent the whole afternoon playing blackjack, ended up losing some $$ there. Julliane prepared food for us and even gave each of us an ang bao. They have a cute and hyper active dog. It was running ard so much that it vomited. Oh poor thing... Later in the evening, met up with Serene, Mark, Terry & Jason for dinner at Taka Crystal Jade. Followed by chilling out at the Acid Bar. Esther joined in too. She was "tekan" by us shortly upon arriving late. She was made to eat the lychee inside her glass of martini, without using her hands to pick up the lychee or touching the glass. The trick was to use a toothpick but of course she did not manage to figure that out. Thanks to Jason, the lychee fell onto the floor and Esther ended up drinking 1 more glass. I shall not write further on this topic. The rest is up to you readers to imagine. Hahaha!!!

On the 7th day (Ren Ri), I went over to my sec school classmate Yihui's house for a gathering. The usual group turned up, Mandy was not there, and Jinglin who was not there last year had turned up. Btw Jinglin was the girl whom I had a crush on during my sec school days. Yihui was the person whom I have owed an apology all the way back from sec 3. But I've decided it's best for me not to bring it up.

Next big event was of course my bdae celebration!

Grace, Serene, Mark, Terry & Jason celebrated Esther's (19 feb) & my bdae (28 feb) together on 25th which was a Sunday. We went for ktv at partyworld orchard in the afternoon (without Mark & Terry). After singing, we went to Chung Ching Steamboat @ Suntec for dinner, with the 2 guys joining in. The soup was disappointing, very different from the last time I ate. Quality dropped but price raised. Should have gone there during lunch. Would have been cheaper, and we could have gotten better soup. After dinner, we proceeded to Paul Launer (did I spell correctly?) for a drink. We also had the present giving there. I received a cool singlet and a kappa bag.

As for Esther, she received a red hot sexy bikini (sorry guys no photos for that)

On the 26th, Ki Siao Gang celebrated my bdae for me at Bosses Restaurant. We decided to go

ala carte as the Yu Sheng set was too expensive. The dishes were quite good, except that portion was very small. We kept saying that we want to go for second round at Long John after the meal. I got the latest cK perfume and a LOTR pc game (as per requested) as presents

Last but not least, I went for a gathering cum lou hei dinner at Tea House @ China Sq with Swee Ling, Shinder, Sheila Joey, Edwin & Paul. Gek Cheng & Yvonne could not make it last minute. Dinner was ala carte buffet with Yu Sheng. Food was quite good, and as expected, 2nd round of ordering was an ordeal that we had to go through. We were already 90% full and food kept on coming. But we were able to finish almost everything, except for the plate of steamed chicken which the meat was tough like it was left inside the steamer overnight.

This is all for the month of celebration update. Coming up will be my new school term, which I have been looking forward to. And lastly if you manage to read until here, I thank you for your patience.

Take care all my friends :)
