Birthday away from home




This year my birthday was spent in a new 'home' , surrounded by some of my closest crowd here in singapore. My work is rather hectic that week, and didn't got a chance to plan on something special. My thoughts were also occupied back home, worry for my Grandpa's condition after he fracture his hips when he fell the week before

Anyway, those crazy closest crowd (Grace and Axel, Yenny, Hardi, minus Ijaaahh) come over to our flat for dinner. I ordered Pizza Hut for dinner, since i didn't have time for cooking.

Yenny and Hardi brought the cake.


We all went crazy with the pizza, and do the rituals, singing, blowing the candle and cut the cake
Grace and Axel gave me "Brida" by Coelho.

Well, it was really nice and fun indeed. Thanks guys....what would i do without you all!!!


Added 30 July 08 coz yenny protested: OK, there's a funny story regarding the pizza man.
I ordered Pizza Hut at 7pm, before the crowds came over about 7.30. The pizzaman arrived at 7.50 something and he forgot one item. So, he told us, he'll be back in minutes to deliver the one item left (chicken wing gitu). OK, while we're waiting for the chicken wing, well the pizza and etc were nearly gone. And we were still errr....want some more. So, we ordered another pizza and garlic bread and some more wings. It took about 45 minutes from call to delivery.Meanwhile, the same pizzaman came back with the first order left out chicken wing.

And....when our second order came, it's the same pizzaman again who deliver and we were laughing out loud.....oh dear, poor guy. He's to come back 3 times that night, during 2 hours course :))
