Dear Friend's Birthday 2009.

It was a belated birthday dinner for XTT-KC aka my BBOF. :-)

Had a superb-super-mini-celebration on the actual day (Monday). Superb cuz we finally got to take a look at the present (which sat for almost four months in my wardrobe) and we ate delicious Swiss Bake chocolate truffle cake (which we didn't mind sharing the few extra pounds that came with it). But this dinner was also a great excuse for everyone to gather and enjoy the company - we certainly did.

The venue was Mykii at Holland Village.

This concept restaurant has some meaning tied to its name. It was the third Valentine's Day recommendation from HungryGoWhere that I tried. This one is good for birthdays as well. :-)

The restaurant has Greek-style deco. The white-washed walls and blue cushion reminded me of the white buildings of Santorini of the Greek Islands. And the food? Let's take a look at some of the food we ate...

The Birthday-Gurl had this, Seafood Linguine with laksa pesto (tossed with prawns, clams, fish cake and tofu puffs) - $15.80

There was also the Tamarind Glazed Chicken with glass noodle, green papaya and Asian herbs - $9.80

Pork Roasted Chicken with almond and olive pilaf - $14.80

BBQ Baby Back Ribs with roasted pumpkins and cabbage mash - $19.80

I tried the Deep Fried Goby Fish with sticky plum and ginger sauce. The sauce was fantastic, tho' the portion was kinda miserable. I was still hungry after that.

Colour Petite Pastries which we did not try. Maybe next time?

Besides the eating, they also started comparing the scratches on two iTouch... hmmm... wouldn't it be nice if they have non-camera iPhone for sale?

After dinner, we continued our evening at Wala Wala.

The Birthday-Gurl had Mojito!

Alcohol makes people do funny stuffs. =)




And I think I may be getting too old for drinks... ha ha. OLD. What a word that confronts us annually.

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
