Happy Belated Birthday to ME...

turned 22 on 7 april. no big deal. realised this is an ugly number, theres no way i can turn the numbers around to trick people. like if i was 21 last year.i can jokingly say i am 12, and people know how old i am exactly.ha. 22. no chance.

no cake this year.no candle to blow this year.

I am just thankful i can wake up to another day.

Dear God, i pray that you will bring healing to my mum. In Jesus name, AMEN.

Happy Birthday Lee Hui Mei Germaine!

Celebrated Germaine's birthday last night. rachel,ivan,myself and germz had dinner at Al Dente Trattoria!(Esplanada).














Met ivan and rachel first before making our way down.the birthday girl was late. we were so hungry, we ordered a $10 pizza first. Sausage and Artichokes pizza!(i had never quite tasted an artichoke before, and it tasted really good!it has the texture similar to mushrooms, chewy and meaty taste.)

 A very flushed and red germaine, she walked at her fastest speed from her school to find us.


when Germaine finally arrived, we had already placed our order. i decided to be daring and go with the Wagyu Beef with Lasagne!( mind you, this is the first time i am ordering beef on my own. i never like the smell of beef, especially when it is sliced or minced, i can only handle beef cuts like sirloin steak, tenderloin, but even so, in small amounts. i decided to give this wagyu beef a try because i know its one of the best.) guess what, when it came, i almost fainted. it was minced waygu beef with lasagne. i was utterly disappointed. so was ivan. he ordered wagyu pasta. and germaine said it looked like "mee hoon kuey", with their thick slices of pasta and minced meat all over with tomato sauce. tsk tsk. both of us ate our meal bitterly. Rachel and germaine were smart. they ordered Foie Gras with Parma Ham Risotto!=)took 1 bite of the foie gras and fell in love with it at once. the risotto was even better!every bit of the rice was filled with the savoury sauce!

i totally hated my dish. the minced beef smell was overpowering for my nose to handle. Rachel offered to trade dishes with me. it was really sweet of her. thus, i enjoyed half of the risotto with half of the foie gras!happy fel.
