Chapter 5: My Royal Birthday 2014 Part II - D-Day

Shall continue with my post with the actual day happenings.

This birthday felt so different and warm compared to what I actually have these years. Perhaps because we are getting older, and friends these days are pretty hugged tightly with their busy schedule. We have lesser time for each other. Which was why I felt so loved this birthday. I really appreciate the ones that really went on and made my day so memorable.

On my birthday's eve, it seems like a normal working day. Tadah~~~ I got punked!

When I thought all my colleagues have forgotten my birthday, a Strawberry Shortcake appeared. 
Never thought they would remember. <3

Why did I say so, that's because usually we have celebration for colleagues on their actual at around 3.30pm, before our peak hour at 4pm. It was then around 4.30pm there wasn't any form of "signal" so I thought they might have forgotten. They came in at the busiest time around 4.40pm. Felt so loved. Really very surprised. That would also mean that I have to settle all the cutting and distribution myself because everyone would get very busy after I blow my candles. I am still very touched because they did remember and they even sacrifice some busy time for a mini surprise for me.
Here is my team before I blew my candles. I love them so much. Thank you dearies. Keke.

Left work on the dot that day as every colleagues are very understanding. Headed to Vivocity there to pay my favourite Ohvola at Kiss Jane a visit. Tried a few pieces but nothing really attracted me to buy.

Went home there after. Showered and masked, around 11-ish intending to turn in early to get ample rest before My day comes. Then the clock strikes 12, I was embraced by messages of heart-warming wishes from both family and friends. It was a pity the sister is not around. She was usually the first one to wish me every year.

This year I also received very special birthday cards from my Instagram. <3




I really like receiving cards and it has been so long I received one. It is the thoughts and effort that is magnificent and making me felt so much appreciated. Thanks so much for all well wishes.

Almost every friends of mine knows that I really like Instagram and I guess this explain why my Instagram were flooded with wishes this time round compared to other social medias. Regardless of whichever social media you guys have chosen. I thank you for remembering my special day.

Excitement did not hold me very long as the Friday before my birthday I had a really tiring and fulfilling work day. I rested shortly after I read and respond to most of the messages.

I woke up at 7am despite sleeping at 2am. With my planned iternary, I was up to ensure make-up is properly done before heading out to the salon.

What I prepared for quite some time before D-day. Teehee.

After grooming, met up with my partner of crime for D-day and went to our 1st Stop - Far East Plaza and SCAPE for some mini shopping before lunch. 

But first let me take a few selfies while my make up is still fresh.

Did some minor shopping around. Pampered myself and enjoying the slow-paced day. Feeling great in everything new head to toe.

The OOTD.

Have shared lunch at Su SuperStar @ SCAPE because we were famished.
 It was really awesome. :D Piping hot but shiok!

Proceeded to do more shopping before heading to our 2nd Stop - Plaza Singapura.

Shopped at my 2nd favourite online store The Blush Inc pop-up store and then had our proper late lunch/dinner at the Swensens~!  
 F has Mushroom Spaghetti in Creme Sauce, and I had Teriyaki Chicken Spaghetti. We had Fried Mushrooms and Fries as our sides.

There is no way that we are not full there after. 

Headed to our 3rd Stop - Teo Heng @ Hotel Rendezvous.

It was my maiden try to Teoheng and we were 5 minutes late. After purchasing some drinks we proceeded straight into our big room. I wouldn't say I had a great experience that time as we only booked 2 hours of singing time, and in that 2 hours, our mic when out of batteries for at least 6 times :\ No doubt the session is consider cheap considering that it is in the heartland of town. Ferlyna's boyfriend came to join us in the middle of our session, and after sharing the cost each of us only pays around $11 including drinks. Sang some of our favourite songs when we were in our Secondary School days and did some crazy dance moves we can remember.
and of course a memento photo was taken while we were singing by Ferlyna's boyfriend.

Finally we come to the final stop of the day - Movie @ Cathay Cineleisure.

I chose a movie that I liked and pre-booked it because it is a block buster movie new that week - X-Men Days of Future Past. 

X-Men series has all along been my all time favourite with Mystique being my favourite character.

She may be a villain in the series against Homo Sapiens, but she was doing it because she wanted to be herself and only trying to safe guard her kind bringing peace to her common race, and in this movie it was proven that she is kind in nature. Enjoy the movie in every bits and pieces, because the details along each movie series linked really well enough.

Besides Mystique I thought I liked how Fan Bing Bing protrayed Blink in this sequel movie.

Though she didn't have much parts for this time but I felt she manage to capture my attention on how she protray this character. From her actions and her expressions, I felt she made a good start in this movie. Honestly I didn't recognise her from the first time I saw the movie. The make-up is really amazing at disguising her. :) 
Took a picture with the Promotional Board after the movie. (I know it is blurry, I didn't really check it after taking and so that was the only picture taken before we left for home.)

Special Thanks to F:

It was a really fun and fruitful day spent with you, and later your boyfriend, and I am so grateful for your presence as I enjoy every single details of D-day so much that I didn't spend much time on photo-taking. Besides my 16th and 21st this is the other Birthday I enjoy so much that I can't stop reminiscing it. Knowing you for the 11th year and finally reunion after a few months ago made me really felt blessed and loved. 你是知己、亦是知心。With you around I always do not need to explain anything too much. I am grateful and thankful for that you are around. 

Our final selfie before we call it a day.

Have to special thanks the couple for dropping me home after the long day of walking. I couldn't really feel my legs when I reached home.

Just when I thought my day is over; no there was another surprise that came.
The little sister who was staying over at Sentosa came home with these Hello Kitty cakes, though she left house way before I reached home her effort was really appreciated.

I literally zonked out right after that, but I really love how the day was spent. Appreciate in every single way. Thank you F for accompanying me the whole day. The day wouldn't be that enjoyable without you. <3

Signing off,
XOXO
