This year's birthday is totally different from last year's.
I remember last year, I woke up early to go to the gym and had a healthy breakfast. Then in the evening, I was out for buffet dinner with Gina at Merchant court.

This year, I flew over to Momo together with Adr and Shirley. Not only to visit her but also to celebrate my birthday in Indo.
I wouldn't say celebrate.. I should say I wanted to spend this day with Momo, of course with everyone else who were with me on my birthday!
I told Momo, for my birthday, to bring me to a good dining place with great ambience and we shall all have dinner together. I am HAPPY enough!
Sure enough, Sis wiwiek came up with 2 eating places that serves good food for me to choose from. One is Korean restaurant Myoung Ga, that serves tradditional korean food with grilling meats and the other is Italian Rucola.
I initially wanted Korean food the day before my birthday but on the day itself, I had hesistation and Sis drove me to have a look at the menu at the korean restaurant so that I can decide what I want.. The rest of the crew were more than sweet enough to go with my choice. All had no preference when I asked them! = )))
I looked at the menu and realised there were alot of meats... Hmmm... Too much meat makes you sick after eating them I thought Plus I want to reduce the intake of meat on my birthday. Not that I eat alot of meat usually but I didn't feel like meat on my day.
I decided to go Italian! COOL!
Sis was very patient with me that she actually drove me to look at the menu so I roughly have an idea what I will be eating. I know she wants me to enjoy the dinner..

I am happy. I had nice Italian food at a cosy setting with the people I love. The dinner felt like family and Momo was with me.
Too bad, the owner don't allow pictures of his food! He even came over to our table and warned no food takes and that there's notice stated at the entrance. For fear of competition! HUMPF!! "Come on man!"
We still chose to break the rules anyway, thus some food shots are blur.. Muahahaha!!!
Let's wait for pictures to come so I can go into more details on the dinner that night.

We each had a main. The ladies had pasta, Momo and the guys steak and I had grilled prawns.. I would have more than gladly chomped down a plate of carbonara there if Momo hadn't fed me so full since day one.. So I was out of the norm and went for three grilled giant prawns with mash. Then we also ordered a antipasto regular platter and a carnivore pizza to share. I enjoyed the food and hoped the rest did.. Most importantly was, they must be full. That was my main concern..

Then after the meal while we were chatting, suddenly there was like a little commotion and I turned back a lil annoyed to look at the sudden noise that sounded Happy birthday something and realised it was for me! OMG! I was embarassed and hid my face in both hands!
The travelling during my trip made me so sleepy I totally had no idea what was happening and allowed Momo to prep things smoothly. When I told Jess that I slept alot during the trip, she said she does too and "我们不认老都不行." Hahaha!!
Firstly, I didn't even know when Momo went to pick up the cake (Adr says the period they went to pick up the cake was when I was sorta woken by few times jerking in the car) and didn't even see them bringing the cake into Rucola... Hmmm...
Thanks Jess D for the birthday cake. It was proudly sponsored by her and my Sour Sally treats. =)

Thank you guys! I enjoyed myself over dinner. I hope you guys enjoyed the food too.
Great people, Glorious food with cosy ambience was all I wanted and Momo and Sis prepped them all. *hugS!!!
This birthday is one cosy affair!
