it's 21/12/2012 - the stipulated doomsday and i'm glad that the world's intact :)
i've spent the majority of 21 years of my life mugging and i wouldn't want my life to end just like that!
i've much bigger dreams that i've yet to materialize so thank god for His Grace.
& after a whole string of extravagant 21st parties and celebrations, we're down to the last two.
had a simple birthday dinner with vanessa (whom we have not met for months) for her 22nd.
cancelled our prior reservations and settled for marmalade pantry due to the heavy rain.
marmalade's pretty pricey and the food's only slightly above average in my opinion.
i wouldn't mind heading back for their sticky date pudding though .
date pudding served with ice cream and butterscotch sauce. such a sucker for sweet stuffs.
singapore doesn't offer much for group activities so we proceeded to feast again.
this time its tea and pastries appreciation at TheWellnessGroup (TWG)
vannie's birthday cake . first taste of macarons and i'm sold !
it's a pity they are so pricey and add on so much to my calories intake..
my favourite tea patisserie ( and also a TWG specialty ) at TWG
i'm so so so glad lyla made us try this. we were so full from dinner but she insisted on trying this .
it's actually a creme brulee tart infused with strawberry bits . i'm coming back for you !
good companion, delectable pastries & impeccable service in a grand continental setting. #life.

last saturday , we had a cozy 21st celebration at Nosh Restaurant .
we were allocated to a section in the indoors and we had fun parading around , snapping pics away.
the restaurant was pretty packed that night and the waiters' were busy shuffling around so we couldn't get them to take group pictures for us. it was unlike my previous visit with nia when the waiters were practically stoning in a corner, waiting for us to finish our food so they had something to clear /do.
some of our mains that night. i ordered lamb chop which was served with cripsy potato cubes .
oh potatoes what what i do without you <3 nbsp="nbsp" p="p">
their regular menu was not available and the christmas menu only had 8 course to offer.
it was quite limited so the birthday girl was quite disappointed.
& since there were 9 of us , we've got the whole menu ordered so we could poach one another's.
it was so cold inside and the cold air condensed on my ricoh gxr s10 lens kit :(
cake cutting + gift presentation time - the birthday girl beaming with her tory burch pumps.
yenqin's so obssessed with all the brands she has such an expensive taste for everything.
i'm beginning to worry for her future husband's pockets.
which speaks for her theme - ATAS and the venue .
here's to one of my favourite girls in the whole wide world, miss yang yen qin.
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY
as much as I love you , I can't deny that your birthdays are painful reminders to the fact that i'm turning +1 very soon . being with you makes me feel like an old grandmama (i kid you not) . thank you for acceding to my nonsensical demands and playing along when i go bonkers. thank you for not pulling a nasty face when i experience strong maternal instincts ; hence the compelling need to nag at you for your expenses from time to time. monetary issues aside , i'm very happy to see that you're taking a conscious effort to dress up (i feel like a mother who's watching her very own daughter maturing into a beautiful swan) . i love how you try to be sporting even though i know deep down inside you maybe completely uninterested in certain plans , just to spend quality time together. your presence made me feel relieved about my choice of school and courses because without them i wouldn't have met the very awesome you , so thank you .
love you till the end of the world my little sister from another mother.
