The weekend was a blast. So much fun, so little time. We had 3 birthday celebrations in a row! We started off celebrating me and my pal Howard’s birthdays. Our birthdays are just a day apart, so we always get to celebrate together Guess where we went this time?

_{Orange Fish!}

Right. The Manhattan Fish Market. I was there 2 weeks ago for another of my friend’s birthday celebration as well. But this time it was in Midvalley Megamall instead of Sunway Pyramid. I don’t mind though, they serve great food. But most importantly, it was the company that mattered – regardless of where we go.

The celebration was awesome. Many friends turned up. Those who didn’t still didn’t failed to send their regards and wishes. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank those who are involved, both directly and indirectly I had a great time and I greatly appreciate it!

_{Chocolatey. Very chocolatey.}

Very nice looking cake, that is until Howard and I got creamed by it. Thanks to Wei How and Voon Siew – they will be remembered. And their favours will be returned in the future! While I got creamed, my white shirt was caught in the crossfire. Habis-lah. Chocolate cream stain, even bleach and Dynamo couldn’t get it off. The Dynamo ads are lying! I did exactly what they showed on TV but it still didn’t work! Must be because of a curse *coughsamcough*. May you find joy *coughmonkeycough* when you look into the mirror now that your curse was spot on. Literally. Chocolate spot, that is.

_{The prettiest things on my desk}

See the glowing-orange mouse?! That’s what I got from (in alphabetical order) Edward, Howard, Hubert, Hui Yin, Ivan, Kiat Ngee, Marvin, Phil, Tung Ken, Voon Siew and Wei How. Seems familiar doesn’t it? Because that’s the very same mouse that we earlier bought for Wei How’s birthday, which was also coincidentally help in Manhattan Fish Market.

The black mousepad is also a birthday present which I got from roughly the same bunch of friends last year. They make a nice pair don’t they! The cute little transparent bear lying there is a special present from May Lee. It’s a very thoughtful present, a potentially life-saving one! Maybe she’s trying to tell me that I spend too much time on the computer

And no, the phone isn’t my birthday present. It’s just… my phone. Which my parents got me

_{More orange!}

This very nice (and orangey!) shirt is from Clement and Rachel. Somehow the colour of the shirt looks very intense in the picture, but it’s not really that bad. Rather, it’s a very pretty tone of orange. Just nice

Now this is an exquisite piece of item. A Kaufmann wallet, a gift from Wei Meng. The picture I took cannot do justice to it, because it definitely looks better when you hold it up close! It’s so nice until I feel sayang to use it lah. It sound expensive, it looks expensive, and it feels expensive. And I know it is. A very, very big Thank You, to Wei Meng for this very special gift!

Sebastian has his own special way of sending his birthday wishes

Later in the night (like a couple of hours later), we went over to Eric Low’s apartment and celebrated his birthday instead. It was a poolside BBQ thing. Poolside events are always scary.

_{Can or not ah?}

Soon, Wei How and Alex was already trying to start the fire. While…

_{Shio… ganas.}

…I was busy taking pictures …

_{Tripod lets me take pictures like a pro… haha..}

… and tripod does wonders at night.

The food! Very very yummy stuff. BBQ and steamboat! What more could we ask for. The pictures alone are making me hungry now. Sigh.

_{He blends well with his cake!}

Birthday boy Eric Low with a nice colourful fruity cake. At first, things were very much in order. But not for long.

_Ouch..

Right after the candles were blown, WHAM! He was practically covered in whipped cream. As if that wasn’t bad enough, then his friends grabbed him….

… and in he went.

The most frightening part was when some of my friends started yelling that it was my birthday too. Immediately, I was on the Wanted list. They were quite close to throwing me into the pool as well but it’d be a huge problem if they did. That place wasn’t exactly near my home and I didn’t bring any extra clothes. Luckily, I managed to convince them not to, but I still got wet anyhow because they were wet. Haha… but it still beats being entirely soaked anytime!

The very next day, there was another party. This time, the star was Kevin Lau.

_{The undisputed gay gang}

The food there was equally yummy. But too bad it wasn’t buffet-style. *could have eaten a lot more if it was* Hahahaha…

_{Mouth-watering la…. :D~~}

But while everybody was busy with the food, I was busy taking pictures. And what did I end up with?

_{Pity me…}

Moral of the story: Don’t take pictures when it’s time to eat

After all the food finished, we were left wanting more! That’s when the birthday cake came into the picture!

_{Flaming cake}

We deliberately put 21 candles instead of the usual 2+1. And as usual….

_{Ken is always the one “applying makeup” on all of us}

Creamed. Big time. Birthdays just aren’t the same without someone getting creamed.

It was a great weekend, really. Three parties in 2 day, that’s as fun as things can get. Once again, I’d like to thank all of you who as much as remembered my birthday!
