So yup, I’m officially older by a year now. Hello, 34 years old!
Got a couple of birthday wishes from some colleagues and close friends, thank you all so much! *feels loved*
Received a lovely drawn card from Reko again (hadn’t received any from him in a while!), and I thought the idea was so cute! It probably took him only like 5 minutes max to come up with it, but heck, it’s the thought that counts, lol.
Haha, isn’t it cute!! He says the bear is on his way to meet me for my birthday lol. I could see that it’s really just a simple and rough picture, but it really just put a huge smile on my face. Thank you, Reko! For remembering my birthday, that is. :D
Took leave on my birthday itself and Bear was nice enough to spend it with me. I knew I could count on my buddy to accompany me! Haha. Not that I would mind being alone, of course. I’ll be alone later today! Which I’m so looking forward to, too. :) Anyway we went to Clinton Street Baking Co because the last time we were there, it was so crowded and the waiting list was so damn long that we decided to give it a miss. But since today is a weekday, we were hoping that there’ll be less people, and yup, we got a table! We ordered their “signature” dishes – their Pancakes with Warm Maple Butter and Wild Blueberries, as well as their Buttermilk waffles with fried chicken.
Verdict: Well I didn’t really try the waffles with chicken, so no comments on that. The pancakes were good though. Soft, warm, fluffy, fresh. The maple butter was sweet and slightly salty, and when paired together with the slightly sourish blueberries, the taste was really “oooomph!”. Very nice!
And because I had my TCM appointment at 4pm, we then slowly walked towards Orchard and stopped by Peace Centre because Bear’s suddenly craving for the tom yum soup there. He managed to convince me to take a sip, and boy, it’s good! It’s not spicy AT ALL, to be honest – just sourish. It’s not those kind of sour-taste that will make your face all scrunched up though. The sour taste is just right and it really kind of opens up your appetite and makes you want more of it. Maybe next time I can go there again if I’m around the vicinity, haha!
Then we head to PoMo and tried the coffee at the Montana Brew Bar. Their latte was not bad, but I really just prefer Percolate, haha! I guess I’m biased. :x After coffee, I went for the TCM appointment, and we just head for a Shin Sapporo ramen dinner after that before heading home respectively. I’m SO disappointed with the ramen at Shin Sapporo now.. their egg is totally flavourless! The soup and noodle texture are still all right, but the chashu and eggs are totally off the mark. Like, WAY OFF the mark. Sad… I remembered I used to love their ramen when they had a small shop in Suntec… it’s really disappointing to find that they’ve totally lost their standard. =(
Well that kinda concluded the stuff that happened on my birthday! Nothing much, really, obviously. Haha. Gonna go catch my beauty sleep now… long day ahead tomorrow too! Breakfast at Percolate… solo karaoke session at Teo Heng… Dinner with the girls… woot! And on Saturday, it’s GameStart Asia! Gosh so many things lining up! Now I’m kinda looking forward to Sunday too, when I finally can relax and rest at home lol. There’s still that colouring book that Sharon gave me! Need to get started on that too! :D
