Happy Birthday, Mommy - 22/07/2009

For some reason, I can't insert these enticing yummy pictures below,

so gotta put them right at the start...bon appetit!! BTW, we had a semi-buffet which had a scrumptious spread of raw oysters, sashimi, antipasto etc & mains as pictured above

Krissa in her new handmade dress featuring characters from The Wizard of Oz

Who cares about image when you've got a spread of chocolate mousse,

cheesecake etc?
This little gor-gor from Hong Kong came to "chat-up" Krissa

Its that time of the year when I have to add another year to my current age. I knew some would say things like "not a year older but a year wiser" and the likes but why? oh why? why does birthday come so fast after one passes the age of 21? Okok...I gotta brace myself...everyone ages and I'm no exception, I shall take it in my stride and pray that it does make me wiser;)

On a brighter note, I was really happy to start the day with sms & handshakes filled with birthday greetings. My buddy, Kok Peng, treated me to a steamboat lunch and I had a mini celebration in the office together with another colleague whose birthday falls on the same date as mine. BUT it was Daddy who really made my day! He really went through all lengths to make sure I was really happy by planning the following:

1) Sending a big bouquet of bright and cheery flowers(including my all-time favourite Lilies) to my office

2) Fetching Krissa from my mum's house, allowing me ample time to doll myself before dinner

3) Booked a Bentley(provided by the hotel, The St. Regis) to pick us up from our house at 7.30p.m.

4) Dinner at the French restaurant: Brasserie Les Saveurs(swaying fountains in different colours behind the full panel glass windows ala Sentosa's musical fountain "x" years back)

5) Home sweet home in the same Bentley....but hey, where's my birthday pressie?? Ok, the fault is mine...I've not decided what I want....*thinking hard*

I FELT SO BLESSED, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING & I LOVE YOU, HUBS!!!
