For a few years, we have not been celebrating the birthdays of many frens in this group.Well, this yr, I seek their agreement to RE-celebrate these impt days again.Since Siang's birthday was 4mths ago, I reckon Kenny will not rem that we will celeb his b'day, so, I thought, let's make it a hush hush thing for him, and see if we could surprise him.Unfortunately, peggy lost her iphone the day before, and she had to ask kenny for my tel number (speaking of pple nowadays, we rely too much on address bk, that we hv no more manual phone book, or memorise the tel number lor! haha)well, one thing leads to another, and kenny was suspicious of the nite.They arrived finally at Keppel Bay's TCC, and i hv pre-arranged for the TCC's staff to present kenny his slice of b'day cake. Mango Mango....The rest of the nite was pigging out, catching up, and entertaining the two kids in the hse.I think the other customers in the cafe must have hated us, cos we were reaaaaaaally noisy.There were the eleven of us, and to speak to the person on the other end (on the long table), we had to read lips, fight with our frens' voice, and the ching chang sound of the plates and cutleries in the cafe.wow, this is a challenge.A pity I had not enuf space and time to catch up with the ladies....
 but im sure, we'll do it agn soon!Labels: Birthday, celebration, quality time, Surprise, tcc

It was an impromptu meetup. And we had yummy steamboat for dinner at Ngern's residence! HL thought peggy's b'day was round the corner, so wanted to celebrate the nov babies special day together. But it was way over. Since there was a mood for celebration, why not!?So i quickly arranged for the agar agar to be delivered to me before the impromptu party...sorry folks, not like I wanted this design, but it was like 'take it or leave it' kind of agony. If i dun accept this ready made agar agar, we will have no agar agar, and it will be plain old b'day cake. =)
three b'day candles for three nov babies!
not bad, they became the mix & match family! haha...
as we multiplied, there were now kids at our gatherings. Sometimes, I felt so aged...HAHApple, dun kill me! i noe im not the oldest... :pAnw, we are the mothers who will bring bb's toybox with us when we visit someone's hse.U rather they play quietly together then to ransack the hse for something they can play with isn't it?
 Trust us, its more convenient this way. =)Labels: agar agar, bbfrens, bbtara, Birthday, dessert, party, steamboat, Surprise

It was a surprise party for Ellen, who is joining Singaland as a teacher!
It was also a convenient excuse for us to get-together... hee
Instead of the usual potluck, I suggested to order the mini buffet. Glad that the idea was supported, and thank god, they all liked the food!!
Many thanks to Meow & Gavin who opened up their hse for our operation and the peach-cheese-tart. The host must have messed up the sugar and salt in the recipe to end up with a saltier tart, but nonetheless, we finished up the tart! next time ya, meow! =)
The afternoon was a quality time for us, the ladies curled up in the host's bedroom and gossip & gossip chatted & chatted...I count my blessings that bbTara was rather coperative even though she was having a runny nose!

Last yr, we celebrated livingstone's birthday like the last... haha...oops....anw, This yr...gives a brand new meaning...we multiplied! and we have now a junior to celebrate the day with us! bravo! =)This wasn't a specially selected birthday meal, it was so chosen bcos livingstone needed to meet his customer at Tiong Bahru Plaza, and so, not wanting to waste another travelling time, we decided to eat there and then.I walked around the mall, and decided on Rajah Inn. Yes, it was raining, and steamboat sounds like a gd choice. :)
we had steamboat buffet, it covered items raw and cooked. I remembered the pricetag was $19.80 or $19.90 per pax. it was worth it in our opinion, and we were eating heartily.We had the chicken broth and the tom yam soup. yum!
dessert! Why would we wanna skip this!even though there was a long queue at the entrance, but we ordered the fondue set. yum!livingstone liked it so much, that he asked for another serving of the banana cake ONLY to go with the choc sauce... :)Back at home, bbTara and I hid in the kitchen (in the dark) while he was having his shower. As he walked out of the rm, he thought I left bbTara alone in the kitchen, and was in a shock!Of cos our surprise cheered him up! not forgetting those presents i bought lo...(there were many action figures of star wars characters and an optimus prime robot waiting for him to discover in each of our rooms..) He had so much fun searching for his surprise gifts... =)
for the birthday cake, I baked the peach-cheese tart. =)
bbTara playing with daddy's toy...of cos, under supervision...daddy took 2hrs to transform the robot into the truck! haha
 Birthdays sure comes with a brand new meaning now. =)Labels: baking, bbtara, Birthday, livingstone, pastry, steamboat, Surprise

I won the tickets to the Jurong Bird Park during the foto contest, so we marked a date on the calendar, and LET's GO!!!
honestly I thought we were gonna be the ones enjoying the walk around the park....so it amazed us when bbTara showed interest on the birds and stuff....
in fact, she constantly 'called' and 'waved' to the birds, and even 'cheered' and clapped for the birds!! Very entertaining for us.... haha...
she refused to look at the camera, and had her eyes locked only on the birds!!
here, she was looking at more flamingos....very happy....
eye-chasing the swans....
looking at pelicans....
very happy as she spotted them...
clapped clapped for the pelicans!!
we settled our lunch at the burger joint in the park, and I also packed bbTara's porridge...
was she happy after seeing the birds, the birds show and the penguine feeding??obviously, isnt it?
 Those smiles we couldn't resisit.... =)Bird Park wouldnt have been this fun for us, if not with her...before she turns three, we are gg to the zoo! free entry, that's why. wahahahahhahaLabels: bbtara, excursions, parenthood, quality time, Surprise

It's Livingstone's birthday, and i usually celebrate it for him with surprises....and...for a few days... So, this is a birthday celebration in advance. =)
this yr as usual, I planned everything, packed the bag, and he would just have to follow me =)
First of all, I got him blind folded in the car, while I drove, and he does not know where we were heading....hur hur hur...
*blind-folded still can cut fingernails/skin*As we reached the car park, he heard military commands....he kept asking wea we were and wea we would be heading....haha...Before I tell you what i have in store for him (which will most probably be in my next post), let's settle our lunch first. At marina square..... =)
been passing this restaurant with long queues during dinner hour...so today is a good time, since there is plenty of empty tables.
He ordered the terriyaki chicken bento,
while i had the katsu don bento.... so so only.....not worth mentioning.
He was hungry, and excited for his birthday surprise!
 the meal is incomplete without dessert isn't it!? and this restaurant has a menu of dessert more exciting than their main courses!this is premium vanilla ice-cream with hotballs and butter sauce.not bad but the portion is very very small. expect the sweetest sauce at the bottom of the cup.Next, I will proceed to present him his surprise. =)Labels: Birthday, Food, ice-cream, japanese, livingstone, Lunch, Surprise
