My Lovely's 27th Birthday! =)

Heh. Shall blog about my Lovely's birthday! =)

This year's birthday was celebrated 2 days in a row! Haha. He had his usual party-gathering with his secondary school friends at his house on the actual day. So I celebrated with him earlier one day in advance!

We went to a japanese restaurant along Tanjong Katong Road. It's called Minori-Ya. Actually my brother went to the other branch at UE Square before, and said it was better than Kuishinbo (it's ala-carte buffet). But like I said in the previous entry, that branch closed down liao, so we went to the TK branch instead.

BAH. It was really really bad! Initially when we went in, the ambience was quite good, and the appetizer and all that was not too bad. The menu did not have as much stuff as Kuishinbo, but it had more non-desert-ish stuff, if you get what I mean. Haha. Ok, nvm~ then the restaurant started getting more and more crowded, and it started going wayyy out of hand. We stopped like 3 waiters to get our drinks refilled, and it still wasn't refilled after 20 minutes. And likewise, had to stop 3 or 4 waiters to get our order taken (each time, they went like hold on ah, hold on ah, and never came back). And they super buay zi dong! We finish eating what we ordered liao, and the table was so full of empty plates, and so many waiters walked past with empty trays, also didn't bother to clear the table! And when they tried to serve more food, but the table was too full with plates already, they stacked the plates in one corner, put down the newly-served food, and walked away without clearing that stack of plates!!! -.- The food wasn't particularly nice either! Initially it seemed quite good (don't know whether was it we were hungry). But after awhile we realize they seemed to use the same seasoning for every single dish! They all tasted the same although they were very different dishes! BOO. So terrible. Shall never go back there again! Bad service bad food! Haha. Didn't bother to take food photos either~

Anyway, moving on to presentsssssss. This year, there were two presents for the Lovely! The first one was a coin pouch. Haha feel so paiseh talking about this coz it sounds very lame~ But nwae, lovely needed one coz he lost his previous one. And I know he's definitely unwilling to change his wallet coz it's still very new, very nice, and from his good friends. Yup, so I got him a Goldlion coin pouch, which was very nice, but I forgot to took a photo of! Hahah.

The next present is the main highlight nwae! :p

I got Lovely a create-your-own Starbucks Tumbler! Haha. I must declare that it was unintentional that I bought him a Nike bottle in the 1st year, a Nalgene bottle in the 2nd year, and a Starbucks tumbler this year! Lol.

Well, anyway, the rationale being I thought it would be good if he could put a tumbler in his office so that he can make hot drinks, and erm, keep them hot. Hahaha. And well, the create-your-own was of coz just to make it more personalized la. Haha.

Yes, so I tried very hard to come up with the design given my super limited designing skills. I tried to pick up Photoshop, but to super uber no avail. Haha. Picasa didn't seem to be very helpful this time. So I resorted to using Microsoft Powerpoint. Haha, ya I know very noob -.-

So after many days of editing, this was what I ended up with:

Haha. I thought it looked a little kiddy =X But nwae it looked quite nice when put into the tumbler ok! Hahaha =X But the problem was that, after I put it into the tumbler, I started to worry that it looked abit too kiddy for him to put in his office. Haha. So I made the design double-sided! And the above design I faced it inwards, then for the outer design, I put:

Wahaha! Super dots right! Don't xiao kan that apple look so simple. I couldn't find the right size of apple against the appropriate background, and had to cut and paste the apple out myself ok!! Lol.

But in the end, Lovely, being very lovely, was very happy with the original personalized design~ Lol. So erm...

Hahaha! He decided to flip this side outwards to use! :D Wheee! Although cut and paste the apple for nothing, but i'm still happy Lovely likes it the way it was! :)

Hee. Anyway, as always, the bottles I buy for Lovely always comes in pairs! :p And if you noticed, I wrote Happy 27th Birthday on his tumbler. But I didn't know what to write on mine -.- So to make it matching, although it's not very appropriate, but....... I wrote Happy 23rd Birthday for myself!! HAHAHA. So lame I know~

Lol!

This was on the way back home on the bus~ :)

Ok, the next day, was... LABOUR DAY!! Wahaha~ Deardear very sad, always don't get recognized by his friends de. They'll come to his house and wish him Happy Labour Day! Lol.

And for those who're curious to know, the cake was bought from http://cakesandpastries.blogspot.com/, it's a secondary schoolmate's mummy's blogshop. Haha.

By right, this is their most famous cake:Chocolate Banana Maltesers cake, which I wanted to try la. Looks super yummy! :) Haha. But dear's family all don't eat bananas except for his mummy. So I ordered the same cake minus the bananas.

It was not bad, except dear's fridge seemed to have overloaded that day, so the cake was not cold enough I think. Hahaa. But I think i'll still head down to the cafe the blogshop supplies to (Food For Thought) one day to try the with banana version of the cake! :p

Heh. This is the only photo I shall post, coz the rest got his friends and family, which I don't think all of them want to appear in my blog. Lol.

And that's the end of The Lovely Boyfriend's birthday celebration! Simple, but happy time spent together! :)

Hope you had a great time like I did. Love you! :)
