My Birthday Celebrations part 1

It was the 27th of July, when i spent the evening with my good friends (who else? charlene, zhichao and malik) at Sakura Restaurant at Orchard Shopping Centre. For those of you who have no idea where that is (which i admittedly didn't before before malik told me), it's the run-down building just next to california fitness @ orchard, with the 7-eleven and guardian at the 1st level. But who would have known that beneath the ratty exterior, there lies a haven of absolute gastronomical pleasures!












Round after round, we attacked the glorious variety of food they had there. Our motto: What they would cook, we would eat!

The lamb was exceptionally good though.

In case ure wondering the price for this buffet, it's $22 per pax. But the other costs that come with it like extra pounds gained, guilt from eating more than you should and discomfort from a bloated stomach varies with the person.





The 3 stooges!








As you can see, we came in as warriors: Ready to take on the food in battle. But alas, we met our match. We were utterly defeated. Underestimate the power of the food, we shall never again.














These were the presents from Malik and Chao. haha these bloody prankers gave me a Happy Fathers' Day card lah! and they also returned me my PSP game in disguise as a present! haha but they gave me my real present, which was a baking book! Awesome!! just what i needed! Think very soon i'll be picking up my spatula again. hahaa.

And of cos my dear sis got me something from Australia too! A nice (but slightly over-sized) cardigan! haha she always thinks i'm bigger than i actually am. But thanks babe! i'll wear it!











Charlene was complaining that she looked fat in the 1st picture (top left), so i told the guys to make themselves seem fatter so as to make charlene look thin in comparison. Thus, the 2nd picture. Hehehe their faces damn cartoon lah!




The 4 of us who couldn't resist the tempation of taking a group shot on the way to the bus-stop.
















We made our way to Bukit Timah to play some pool... and we decided to pass time by playing some "dai dee" on the bus! it was something new i must say. haha only SMRT buses with the inward facing chairs could allow us to do this. hahah.














This isn't a very good example, but there were times that Charlene struck a "killbill" pose... very intimidating, but embarrassingly to no effect. She still couldn't pot the ball. At least she made it look good. ehehe.













Yeap so that was the end of the 1st day of my Birthday celebrations!! it was a REALLy fun day. thanks so much guys!!
