First 23rd Birthday Celebration! :D

Hehehehehe. A quick update about my birthday celebration with Emily last night before I start working today. :x Gotta quick quick blog because I'm having meet ups for the entire week and might end up with too many backlogs so....... Why am I explaining...?!

So anywayz, last night was my first birthday celebration! Just three days in advanced with dear Emily. ^^

&Here you see a rare sight. Emily in a dress! :O
Lol. Not really la. More like she don't wear it with friends.
I kindda made her wear it. :x
She has always been in shirts and pants, so this time, I told her that her being in skirt/dress would be the best birthday gift of all time.
My threat worked! She look really pretty and feminine in a dress. :D

She suggested to go Supply And Demand at Esplanade because she wanted to end the date with Max Brenner's waffles and chocolate!
Her suggestions will never go wrong! Everything was nice and I really enjoyed the treat. :3

Supply And Demand also have a rooftop bar.
Have read a few reviews about the rooftop bar's nice atmosphere but we had after plans so no beer last night. :(
ANYONE WANNA GO CHILL THERE???

Our dinner!
A 9" two flavour pizza, Carbonara, Truffle & Garlic Fries and some Mushroom Cream pasta.

 photo P1020310_zpsb5634e40.jpg
Carbonara was nice, but I was more in love with the mushroom one. Lol.
Both cream based but Carbonara fell flat with comparison to the mushroom one.

I keep saying it's the mushroom one because I can't remember what it is. Lol.l

I'm damn glad we ordered the tasting portions! These two are just (supposedly) 6 spoonfuls.
We couldn't finish. Both pasta had about 1/3 leftovers. :X

 photo P1020311_zps04f58792.jpg
Truffle &Garlic Fries was a late addition.
Emily thought something was missing with just pasta and pizza.
It was not a wrong choice though. (Y)!

May not be as fragrant as the one from Au Chocolat but their chilli sauce had this kick to it!

 photo P1020318_zpsec1d7021.jpg
Only had one full slice and two without their crusts.
Love the smoked salmon side!
But we were both too full from our pasta to finish the entire pizza.
End up leaving the crusts.

 photo P1020313_zps9c2ffd73.jpg
Dinner was super satisfying.
I was actually very stuffed. Lol.
It is always the case when with Emily because she always over order. LOL.
But I didn't wanna clear up the leftovers so we didn't finish a lot of food. I was still stuffed. x,x

Emily's highlight of the date!

Her drink she barely drank. x,x
It's nice! Hint of darkchocolate with Mocha.
But Emily was disappointed that it wasn't as thick as she remembers it.

Too pretty for just a few shots so here's two more! xD

 photo P1020367_zps22e12a3d.jpg
Damn nice!
But I only ate a little because I was still feeling stuffed.
So in the end, more than half of our dessert (except the banana lol) was wasted.

 photo P1020368_zps2ad7ff3d.jpg

 photo P1020369_zps7bf32c78.jpg

It was a very simple celebration that made a hole in her wallet again.
But I'm super glad that it was all still lesser than last year's. :x Lol.
Not that I'm remembering all the costs, but she has always been damn generous and I feel bad. :/
I'm also happy this year our birthday treats has a smaller gap! :D
I hope I can bring her to some place really nice for her birthday next year. ^^

After dinner and dessert, we strolled to City Hall and cabbed home.
Have cabbed home twice this week. I am such a broke brat! LOL.

 photo P1020355_zps73a5bbd5.jpg



Honestly, I am not as hyped up for my birthday this year. :/ Really lazy to think of places to go and on how to celebrate it. :x Possibly because I'm very much more excited for my Korea trip than anything else.. LOL! But, I'm still very happy and thankful for the friends who have asked me out to celebrate me turning 23 years old. Oooooooold. Two more celebrations to go! One on Friday and another on the actual day. HEHE. I'm so blessed.. To have people ask me out and plan the day for me. xD

Okay, it has passed the time I'd plan to finish this post.

BACK TO WORK! :D

Wimbly Lu x2

 photo P1140330_zps1b58448e.jpg

Wimbly Lu has been a place I've been wanting to visit ever since many people I know have been raving about it.. In fact, there were plenty of attempts to dine there! But the plans just never came through. :((

And then! This week happened.

Two visits to Wimbly Lu in two days because the people I want to meet decides to settle on that place. LOL. I'm not complaining though. Just kindda funny how.... When you wanna go but keep failing to do so and when you're no longer as excited, you go there twice in a row. In my case that is. lol.

So......................................

I was there yesterday with Emily for lunch and then I was there again for brunch with Yugine, Simin and Clara. :)

It was a very pleasant time with the girls (both Emily & my dpafriends), having a sinful meal, talking about everything and just enjoying the afternoon with each other leisurely.

After both meetups, I went through the day with no dinner because I was so so so full and happy. ^^

 photo P1140312_zps1d016afa.jpg
Lunch with Emily started here @ Rokeby because she didn't know Wimbly Lu sells meals.
Then again, their meals are pretty light with sandwiches and all~ So.......

 photo P1140375_zps7e146664.jpg
We had our lunch here before going to Wimbly Lu for desserts. ^^

 photo P1140307_zps54c6be86.jpg
Nice place with okay food!
(ps: This is actually the first time I described food as "okay"! Most were just okay though.)
Then again, I would actually go back to try out their other stuff because it was a nice place...

 photo P1140319_zps4ded90aa.jpg
Really light Truffle Cream of Mushroom that can come off as a little too bland.

 photo P1140321_zpsea03f14a.jpg
Bland Risotto. Emily didn't finish it as usual. lol.

 photo P1140317_zps3852a7bc.jpg
Really nice Carbonara!
I happily finished 3/4 of this super sinful plate of pasta. :x

 photo P1140327_zpsda49a28f.jpg
Truffle Fries you won't get sick of! :D

We were somewhat stuffed but went ahead with Wimbly anywayz.

 photo P1140333_zpsf94b039a.jpg

 photo P1140331_zpsf229c7c0.jpg
We took really long to decide what to order.

I was too full to make any decisions and Emily wanted to try something new but didn't know what. LOL.

 photo P1140337_zps3d1974c4.jpg
Ice Chocolate with Baileys.
Somewhat like the black cough syrup. But that's how baileys taste like. :/

 photo P1140338_zpsb7f9ab3c.jpg
Chocolate Eclair!!!
I was drawn by it when it was displayed near the entrance.
But meh... Small ones are nicer. :x LOL.

 photo P1140339_zps1b5a4216.jpg
My favourite yesterday!
Nutella Chocolate Pie.

Emily had a bimbo moment when we ordered this.
She actually asked what does it look like and I went "It's just brown filling on a tart" LOL!!! Super funny when it happened.

After desserts, Emily was really nice to accompany me down to Chinatown because I had to run some errand. We also end up sitting to chat at some MacDonalds for over an hour. :)

Supposedly their signature Root Beer Cake with Vanilla Icecream.
But.... it didn't impress us at all.
& I couldn't taste the hint of rootbeer. >< /fail

 photo P1140356_zps5261e65d.jpg
Our favourite from the lot we ordered.
Lasagne! Or maybe, we were just hungry.

 photo P1140367_zps4abf1c04.jpg

 photo P1140360_zps78a8a94f.jpg
Our second favourite!
Very nice! And Emily took me it isn't good. :O

 photo P1140361_zps293cf546.jpg
Simin's Ice Chocolate with Baileys! With whipped cream this time.

 photo P1140362_zpsa841dd09.jpg
Sticky Date Pudding.
Yugine's favourite. She insisted that she'll order one for herself because she really like it.
Tasted a bit like huat kueh but really quite nice...

 photo P1140363_zpsc0d77f06.jpg
Emily told me this Molten Lava Cake is really good.....
Okay la~ Our third favourite. But still not fantastic.

Ah! I successfully led them to Wimbly Lu but couldn't exit the place to Serangoon Station as well. LOL! Too distracted. End up going up to this random road to bus back.

My day didn't end with these girls though. Headed down to Queenstown to meet up with Gary to attend a wake. Spent quite a while with Emily before leaving.

It was a long day.

&Here's an abrupt end. xD
