hello public

gosh, i've been so busy planning an event and also having to create and constantly maintain another website. i havent had proper time to sit down and blog. with only 2 weeks to this 'event of the year', every fine details has to be tailored accordingly. and boy is it a lot of work but also immensely fun. haha!!

but tsk tsk, i shall only divulge on the event when it's all completed.

anyways, this entry is loooooooooong overdue. remembered in one of the previous entry i talked about Sheryl's Birthday. that previous post was all about the preparation involved. this entry is gonna about the actual day.

























the view from the restaurant was stunning.




















the outdoor canopy area.




















the main dining area.


now, hours before the actual celebration, there's always final touches to be done. so me, cecilia and coco, met up to get the cake from Bakerzin, to get the gorgeous bouquet of cream roses, to write the messages on the back of the photo collage, to wrap the collage, to visit the restaurant in advance to plan some suprises and of course to meet up with sheryl at the mrt station like nothing has happened.

and trust me, all that within 3 hours is an EXTREMELY tight rush. and with the kind help of cecilia, who never fails to not make it on time, time got to an extremely tight corseted 2hours.

so first we rushed to get the cake. she likes chocolate. and bakerzin makes fantastic cakes. so bakerzin chocolate cake it is.

next, flowers, all girls love flowers. she likes tulips. but damn were the tulips at the florist fucking ugly. i dont understand why people like tulips. they look like roses that havent bloom. and i dont understand the whole concept of girls liking flowers. they just die and wilt within a day or two. and so we searched high and low throughout town for a florist and did you know that there is only 2 florist in orchard road.

so yeah, expensive bouquet of roses. check!

so after all the other stuff thats just too much to elaborate. we met her at the mrt station. she knew we were celebrating her birthday. but boy she didnt know what to expect.

we asked her what she wanted to eat. she said japanese. we said okay lets go to Ramen Ten at far east plaza(cause we knew it was along the way to marriott). while on the way there.

i said,"lets pop in to marriott for a while, i need to look at some cakes for my bday"

so we went in. while they were looking at the cakes, i told the sales lady to do me a favour.

when i said is there any other cake shop, she was to say that there's one at level 5(which was where the retaurant was).

and god bless this woman, she played along. =D

and so we took the lift up. and walked to the restaurant. but damn did the waiter spoil the entire 'suprise i have never been to this place' look by greeting me by name. damnit!

and so she was suprised with dinner at a fine dining restaurant.









our waiter for the night. all customer service people have to learn from this guru.









and so we sat down and took some fotos, and our lovely waiter for the night, Thong(as funny as his name sounds, he wasnt a pain in the ass one bit the whole night), helped us take foto which was very much to our liking. hahaha.
































































then cecilia and coco brought sheryl to the toilet and in their absence, i discussed with thong regarding when the cake and the other presents were to be brought out.

when they came back, we ordered the food and did a little wine tasting before we decided on which will pair our selection finely. of course we took more fotos.

so what did we have you ask?

























the stunning coco had grilled swordfish steak.

























the sophisticated cecilia had grilled loin of lamb with ratatouille.

























the charming ali joe had oven baked wild barramundi.

























the ravishing sheryl had char grilled beef tenderloin.


then after dinner. sheryl suggested we go to clark quay for desserts. i said i was craving for cake. the girls were craving chocolate. i said how bout we go to somewhere nearby for dessert, like Bakerzin since they make yummy chocolate cake. sheryl was visibly excited. while we were deciding this, i signaled to thong secretly to bring the cake out. and when it came with the candles all lighted up, she got even more excited.















































then shortly after, came the presents. and overjoy would be a good word to slot in here. she almost. or maybe she did, start to cry at the sight of the collage with fotos bringing us back to 4 years ago when we first met each other.
































































and of course, the rest of the night was spent camwhoring. my lord, stuff we do at a fine dining restaurant is so beyond me. but with good food, good wine and fantastic company, nothing else matters.




















and of course with a little bit of alcohol, everyone gets a little excited.











people start to do stupid stuff.



















coco got a little giggly.























and dedided to stuff the whole damn red wine glass into her mouth. LOL!!! her boyfriend must be a happy man. hahaha!

















sheryl gets kinky.

















and they just decided to lie down and stare at the stars.









and you know, whats proof that alcohol really makes you do stupid stuff. here's further proof.








BEFORE dinner. everyone was sane and normal.

AFTER dinner. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!














and mind you, we were in a fine dining restaurant with other guests around who witness our random act of dumbness.















the only thing left that was classy was the bouquet of roses thats gonna die soon anyway. might as well spend the rest of its life in class right.





















so we decided to finally call it a day. since everyone had work, school and camp the next day.




















so yeah. party was a success. everyone was happy!!




















the happy camper, the birthday girl and the one i wish to spend a day with before i die: Sheryl.





till next time.
