what do surprises... mean ?

this year's birthday feels so different from the other years.. maybe it's just the change in the people around me.. people leaving my life, and people appearing in my life. can't seem to get used to it. though it's a more joyful arrangement.

celebrated with qiang qiang on the 13th, the eve of my birthday (according to him). at first i didn't feel like it was an occasion worth celebrating, maybe.. just maybe it's not really the actual day yet. and of course all the work load, not really weighing me down that day, but still at the back of my mind.

somehow i knew there was more to it then just the day and the workload.


then came the appearing and amazing still-no-idea from where flowers. a white lily in a bouquet.



hey, im still very amazed by how it appeared la. sickening qiangqiang.
then there was the orchard walk.

walked till far east, and that's where i got the awesome red streak of hair.

nope, it's not a highlight. it's my new hair extension!


then we sat down at starbucks to chill.

and of course to cam-whore (as usual)



evidence of cam-whoring!





later in the evening we made our way down to clark quey. (cause assumingly i said i wanted to be near waters.) and we hunted central for a place to settle dinner. we went up and down and up and down, not knowing what to eat, and finally, we saw Waraku. qiang qiang excitedly rushed over and said super confidently to the host, "yes, i've a reservation under marcus."
kns right? i was stunned for a moment. and then i realise it's another of his cute tricks. i gave him a deadly stare as the host said "yes, you asked for a window seat right sir?"


haha. silly you. should have guessed all these. the awesome window seats directly facing the Singapore River and all the beautiful lightings. i should have taken a picture of it. and the everchanging colours on the bridge and by the river. i bet this is the best restaurant in Central. plus the awesome food!









this is the size of their bowls.

i've no idea why though, doesn't it then emphasize how little the food inside is? but it was super filling la actually.

qiang qiang then wanted to go toilet, and disappeared for super super super super long. i already had my bowls cleared and all that, but he still wasn't back. so i waited and waited. and out he came with this.






this is elmo cake before and after being bitten. oh, and his shocked and 'dont eat me' look before i bit him. poor elmo cupcake.

after dinner we settled down by the river. then out came the next surprise.

my present!



reached home earlier that day. mum even asked why i'm home so early. haha!










at least i went home smiling that day. (:
