Another Year Older

Well, what can I say? I'm another year older now :D More and more exciting things are coming! Sally and me are now busy planning our dream home and we're getting married next year! :D And we all know how time can just zoom past very quickly so it's good to try to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Try this. When you're idling, instead of letting your thoughts dwell in the past or future, try to just look around. Stop thinking and just observe your surroundings. It feels different :)

Ok, lets talk about my birthday.

So last week was actually a busy week for me. But a birthday's a birthday, so as usual I celebrated with Sally. It was kind of a two-part celebration like we always do :P And we had an early preemptive celebration on Saturday in case I'm forced to work like a cow on my actual birthday. In the afternoon, we went to collect our wedding bands, which we then decided to send it back to resize for more comfort. Nonetheless, we were very pleased with the bands! Then we had our lunch at Out of The Pan.

Me presenting the fish masala crêpe. Ooooh nice.

And Sally with her much healthier sliced chicken breast

Out of The Pan wasn't too bad. In fact I loved the fish masala crêpe. Quite powderful. I was like going "Whoaaa.." with every bite! Really nice!

Right after lunch we went to watch 'I love you, Phillip Morris', a gay comedy. Well, ok, so there wasn't any other interesting shows to watch. Some scenes were quite funny. And most other were rather ... hm. You know. I didn't puke but I have to admit I almost fell asleep. ALMOST. And Sally slept soundly.

For dinner (you see, we're both always eating so much), we made our way to Valley Point to have our Kuru Kuru (sounds cute!) Japanese buffet! Ok, a picture speaks a thousand words, so here you go! Two thousand words!

Meeee.. The lady behind spoil this otherwise perfect picture :-/

And this possible lobster culprit
that caused Sally her hives! :P

We ate and ate so much I actually felt guilty. And my tummy was so full I had a walk very slowly after that :P Lovely dinner!

Three days after that (we're not done with food yet), on the actual day, we met up again for dinner at Pizza Hut. This time to try the over-hyped 7 Cheese Pizza. 7 different cheeses on a pizza. Sounds dangerous :o Or is it?

Err. 7 cheese? Mana?

7 cheese? Well, beats me. I can't see or taste the 7 different cheeses. You won't even know if they only mixed TWO different cheeses and go "Hey sucker! Here's 7 cheeses!". Nice try Pizza Hut. Verdict? 4/10. Fail. It would have been 0/10 if not for those little cream cheese balls on each slice. Damn. They didn't meet my expectations.

While waiting for our desserts, a group of people nearby started singing a birthday song. Another Libra at Pizza Hut :-/ So I thought. Then came this bunch of Pizza Hut staffs singing and presenting me with a small slice of brownie with a candle. Oh it's for me. Paiseh. Thank you Sally ;) How sweet.

My birthday brownie :D

But of course that's not the end. She gave me a birthday present too! It's small but heavy, with a nice little card stuck on it :D So what's small and heavy? I guessed it was perfume.

Nice little present with a birthday card!

So what was it? *unwrap unwrap*

Err, how come got a Gundam on the wrapper!

*unwrap unwrap*

iPhone4!

Ok, I was really surprised. Didn't expect that at all! But yey! New phone :D So now I'm officially one of you iPhone addicts out there. To be honest, I didn't think I'd need an iPhone but it's been a week now and I'm like a hopeless addict. iPhone itself is nothing, but the apps that power it are life-changing.

And now I get to FaceTime with Sally too!

That wraps up my birthday celebration nicely. Good food, nice present and a sweet companion :) Now who wouldn't want time to slow down just abit?
