Birthday Celebration with the Giggly Girls!
I had a really really great time on Fri with the Giggly Girls... they actually planned a birthday celebration for me at Holland V! Liza did tell me that they'll be celebrating my bday on Fri but I was expecting the usual birthday stuff... but din exactly turn out that way... haha...
Met up wif Eil, Carin and PZ at 12 to head down to Holland V's Essential Brews first while the rest will only join us after their lesson at 2. Shufang & Liza joined us a little while after we arrived. Anw, just to digress a bit, the food there is really erm... not inedible, but not worth the money la... I wasn't even half full after I finished my set lunch... bleah. Anyway, we were like damn hungry so we ordered and finished our food even before the rest arrived. Seriously let me tell u, if for any outing you realize you're not told anything in advance or know really nothing about, like who's coming, who cant make it and stuff... most like you're the one being left out, meaning, ur turn to kena the birthday thingy. Sigh... I always preferred to be in the planning committee; at least you're part of the thing geddit?
After finishing our lunch and juz rotting arnd waiting for the rest to turn up...
And then Kim and Shih came at around 2.30. And suddenly Eil asked me to accompany her to go toilet cos she's scared... say what watched Shutter den scared etc etc. Bleah... in the end it's to lure me away only. Anw the girls were really sweet la, trying to make the entire thing very grand or should I say dreamy-like? Cos when we came back frm the toilet to the table Liza was lyk standing at the side trying to blow bubbles all over the place to create the right "ambience". Not very successful la, given how small the bottle of soap bottle is, but really appreciated her efforts... haha. And here's what they made for me to replace a birthday cake!
So sweet rite? PZ, Liza and Carin made them frm scratch, ok the muffins were made frm ready made mixture but the icing on top was made from scratch. (I really cant figure how they managed to do it la... haha) And for those who watched SATC, it really reminded me of how Miranda was trying to help Steve make the exact same muffins with letters on top for his current gf. Hmm... wonder if Liza got the idea from there. Oh ya anw seriously it was kind of scary, the way all cameras are faced directly on u suddenly and the flashes seemed lyk all over the place! My 2nd time feeling like a celebrity... (first time was when I was relief-teaching), but well, given my unphotogenic looks, naturally I look really bad in the photos la, especially the impromptu ones. EWW...
(wonder what Kim was thinking wif that expression man... haha!!!)
Oh and not forgetting Kim who never fails to create the comical effect for every one of our outings. Here's her trying to replace her boobs with 2 of the muffins "X" and "Y", presumingly coming from the "X" in my name, and "Y" in "birthdaY". I was saying thank goodness she din happen to get hold of the "X" and "W" instead. Imagine her left boob being called "Xuan" and her right one being called "Wan". OMG... that sounds really really disturbing. (It doesn't help that my brother's initials are "X" and "Y" la... hahaha!!!)
After that we went Crystal Jade for the girls who came later and still haven't had their lunch, Kim, Shih and Cheryl. Here's the hungry ones happily tucking in...
And to end off... here's 2 groups fotos of the Giggly Girls! One taken at Essential Brews the other at Crystal Jade! Love u babes!
(And P.S. Thanks babes for the entire celebration... realli had a great time. And I LOVED the bag u all gave mi... whoever chose it must have known my taste very well. And the top too.. it's nice too... altho not so much of my taste. Haha... u noe... spag tops make my arms look FAT u see... haha. But no worries, I'll still wear it out altho it'll make my arms look FAT! Haha... once again, love u babes! *MUACKZ*)
