It has become a tradition for four of us to come together to celebrate my dear's birthday every year. Even if it meant having to miss out a rare BBQ chalet with my colleagues. But as they say, good things usually come in pairs. I can't be too greedy, so I had to choose one. It was none other than my dear's birthday celebration!
This year we had dinner at Waraku Japanese Restaurant in The Central. It was my second time there. But since they hadn't been there before, we decided to give it a try. The food wasn't fantastic, so I won't talk about it. Let's talk about the people! Theresa with "大饼" hanging in front of her, our mahjong-kaki and dear's best friend,
发发 frowning at the size of his mini bowl. It was certainly on the tiny size (including the portion of sashimi).
A notable point about Waraku is the size of their regular bowls. Really big indeed. =p
The real fun of the evening came after the dinner at (no, not at the pub lah... old people like us are generally boring) Billy Bombers (for dessert!). Tho' I detest their slow service, their Original Sin chocolate cake was de-li-cious! We also had a fun time trying to figure out whether the single scoop ice-cream was really Ben & Jerry's. It tasted alot like King's or Wall's!
Btw, I think it is a good ideas guys bring along during PSPs when their female friends go shopping. We can have multiplayer games while the girls have the perfect excuse to continue shopping - "Not sure if you guys have finished your games or not leh...".
Now the exciting part, revealing my present for her! I gave it to her before last Christmas - an Anniversary-Christmas-Birthday combo present! It may be sometime ago, but she has not used it yet. She is waiting for the official "开张" during CNY.
After giving her the pink sapphire bracelet for Valentine's last year, I ran out of ideas for what to give her. And the hand-made clay Mokona for the last birthday was the limit to my "talent".
Luckily I was able to crack my brain and dig my pockets further for this year's present! A handbag, the perfect accessory for my lady working in Singapore's financial district. It wasn't easy to find the right one that fitted the need and my budget. Something that would be classy and yet doesn't look fake - so LV is definitely out! =p With the help of XTT-KC, we found this!

A closer look at the bag,
And my dear carrying the bag,
I think this bag is the right size for a small water bottle, fold-able brolly, purse, and a mobile phone.
Some may say that November to January is a long time to spread one single present. That's why lil' does she know I have a surprise installed for her. But it is abit late... a lil' more patience is needed. Meantime, I'll continue to crack my head for an extra special Valentine's. =p Happy Birthday dear!
