3rd May

Popped by Crystal's house to celebrate her 21st birthday. It was all well-planned by Natasha with the cahoot of Crystal's brother which turned out to be a failed one. We came into the house at 9pm sharp and while we were putting our stuffs down and went for a wash up, we heard a "click" sound from the door lock. We panicked, thinking that Crystal is home from her dinner. But yet the face shown was her brother.

Her brother hinted us to get ready as they are on the way back. Just when we prepared to light up the candle, the door opened and she walked in. We quickly hid under the table to avoid any eye contact from her. The most funniest thing was she thought that her bro and his girlfriend were hiding there and simply walked in and say hi without even looking at us.

So I jumped up and say 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' thinking that she has seen us hiding away. Never do I know that her expression gave it away. She was shocked and exclaimed " I thought its my brother and his girlfriend trying to scare me." Oh well, a pretty failed surprise because of the ruin cake too.

A short gathering at her place to let her know that no matter where she is, we (this clique) will always be together. Happy sweet 21 (:

4th May 2015

It was rather a rare guests for Boyfriend's cousin and aunt to travel down to Singapore. Since we get to see them once in a blue moon, Boyfriend decided to arrange to bring them for a good dinner and he was in the house. He invited me over and I went to meet them after my work.

Dinner was at a former "Bottle tree house" which was re-constructed to ORTO ( a more leisure place for activities and dining). I didn't explore this place after their renovation and therefore it was totally new to me. I don't even have the time to check out on what dining place they have over there. 

So much thanks to Boyfriend for being so efficient, he searched and saw a thai mookata which his cousin didn't try it before and therefore it is a good chance to bring him for a try.

I remembered having to see this Mookata at Katong but never had a chance to try because it will always be a long queue and I personally hate the after-math smell. But nevertheless, ORTO mookata left me lesser smell after we are done for our dinner. 

We ordered a pax of 4 + a pax of 2 combo meal so share. Thinking that the portion doesn't fill us up but in the end, everyone was so stuffed with meats. We even ordered extra servings of meat just because the marination was so perfect!

Bill was up to $150 for 7 of us which I find it reasonable. Aunty was complaining that she had $200+ for only 3 persons at Kungfu steamboat.

A rather good catch up with his relatives and hoping to visit them when I am able to take leaves. 

Till then
