The Final Birthday Installation
Gerrie had made some reservations at G00d W00d Park H0tel, which unfortunately most of the members couldn't make it. We arrived at 3, ready for its high-tea buffet spread, which comprised mainly pastries. The session was accompanied by piano-playing and a view of its swimming pool. The garden acted as its backdrop, which liven the buffet hall.
Anthony arrived slightly later but gave me a little surprise.
Anthony: Sorry I got no time to buy you present.
Me: Nvm la, you where got buy present one?
I was taken aback when he presented me a red packet. =)
The aftermath.We stayed there for almost 2.5hours, even witnessing a wedding procession. Anthony had to rush off for a wedding dinner and dropped us off at Great W0rld. Finding movie tickets were almost impossible and we decided a walk would do us good after all the cake-eating.
GW remained a b0ring place but there was this really unique furniture shop: iwannagohome. Things are costly, but it gives a oh-so-cool image. Imagine your living hall drapped in white-black concept with a vampish-looking sofa.
Anyway, we took the free shuttle bus back to Orchard. Then a 5B5 bus to Mid-p0int Orchard. Just to get back to the car. -.-
We drove to Halo Bar and waited awhile for TX and Sherri. Gerrie spent 80% of the time there playing pool, becoming the unofficial champion; HQ spent 80% of his time waiting for his songs to be played.
Received another surprised: TX and Sherrie got me a cake! =)
That night, I got another surprise. Theresa got me a Gap shirt and an Adidas singlet. =)
Sunday.
The family had dinner at Soup Restaurant, with no less than 6 courses. Mom gave me a big red packet. After dinner, we went to watch The Warlords, which made the rest of the Sunday lousy. I don't know but the movie sucked, with all the killings and all. So depressing.
They had bought me a mango cake earlier but I guess it was too late for celebration.
Nevertheless, I'm happy I need not work today. =)
