PPG – Butter’s Birthday Celebration – Aug 8-10

The PPG had a BIG birthday bash plan for Butter this year… There was Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3… Her “face” super the big ya! Hor?

Part 1 - Aug 8
Bloss and Butter met for dinner first because I had to go for tuition after work. I travelled from Raffles Place to near home, then after tuition, went home freshen up and then travelled all the way to Vivo at 9 plus… How effort!

Realised only in the cab that I did not have small change with me – made Bloss and Butter welcome me at the taxi stand to pay for my cab fare first. They waited for me until &$%*$&*(%&%$#^, and they agreed that taxi uncle should just dump me somewhere… So “horrible” of them…

Originally planned to go St James since the birthday gal had never been there before, but dunno why, they decided to change plans to go Café Del Mar… and so off we went… sometimes, it’s just fun catching up, laughing at each other, cracking corny and lame jokes and laughing ourselves silly.

After that, went to Ridout MacDonald’s and we concluded that Singaporeans dun sleep early… It was still darn crowded at 1-2 am! And people were still strolling in… Continued our corny and lame jokes – and I’m still laughing now when I recalled the “swamp” thing joke… Parted ways at abt 3 am, I think…

Part 2 - Aug 9
Brought my parents for buffet lunch at Royal Plaza on Scotts prior to meeting the gals… Met the gals for Jay Chou movies.. Not a movie on my to-watch list but since the other two gals are so ga-ga over Jay, well, I have to follow the majority’s choice… But hey! My Andy Lau’s movie coming in December and they said they’ll watch it with me then! Haha… We shall see! But well, the Jay’s movie not so bad la…

Part 3 - Aug 10
Got Butter to attend some baking class with me… We made cupcakes and pandan kaya swiss rolls. Think this time round, the cakes tasted much better than my brownies and sweet rolls! Hehe.. I’m planning to do tiramisu at home this coming weekend… Knew Butter enjoyed herself during the baking class – which I was glad… It’s real fun…

My cupcakes - in Bloss' words, they are my little alien babies - so "horrible" of her! hehe!

Afternote
Brought my cupcakes and swiss rolls to office today – my colleagues all loved it! It made you really happy when you know everyone enjoyed the food you prepared…

And to my surprise, some even said why din you do brownies again? Your brownies were nice too! And I still thought my brownies were too sweet… hmmmm..

Screw up @ work

I honestly clean forgot a discussion I had with boss one day and happily gave instructions to the TV crew the next day to film something they should not have.

Imagine the horror look I had on my face when my boss came to question me. The thing was - even when she tried to help me recall what we had discussed, no bells were ringing in my mind that we had had that certain part of the conversation!

This is bad. No excuse.

I admitted my screw up and apologized. My boss had already rectified the issue with the journalist before coming to me. In retrospect, the mistake was really not THAT major. But I was feeling super lousy for two days.

Simply because I actually had my boss rectify the mistake I made, and she settled it before coming to tell me. Plus, she did not blame or scold me. All of which made me feel super duper lousy.

In fact, Boss was more puzzled than anything, and asked me if I’m OK. She told me she can’t figure out why and how I could have made the slip since I seldom make her worry at work.

I couldn’t answer her question but just looked at her apologetically – because I have no answer for her too... Sigh...

The japanese sweet rolls and brownies that FY and I made!

Some of my poor friends became my guinea piggies... They were very sweet to say that the brownies and sweet rolls looked tempting enough and smell real nice. And of course,they were also kind enough to finish every single bit and crumbs! so 感动！

Comments were they prefer the brownies to the sweet rolls, though one found the brownies a bit too sweet for his liking... Well, my first time baking bread and brownies mah... It's already not bad that the final products are decent-looking and edible, OK? **winkz**

Next on my list include tiramisu and cheesecake - any guinea piggies volunteers?

Thoroughly enjoyed Transformers! Great movie! Optimus Prime and Bumblebee - Way to go! Woohoo!

Mich's birthday celebration at The Jewel Box

Think our rowdy big group had caused a lot of lovey-dovey couples who would appreciate some private moments shift out of the restaurant area...
