14 july - ling's birthday (:
and how nice. i got to start my saturday going to help out at work. haha. but.. ironically, i love my job. the long hours and pressing schedules, i love it. more about my work soon.
because of my last minute call to work, i got to sort of postpone my secret meeting with felicia to slot in my little birthday "card" (not really a card per se..) along with the other goodies we got for her. concept wise, it was rather similar to felicia's. just that this time it wasn't a butterfly, but a stylo Nike ladies bottle. check out Nike Women's in taka.
this is what i've drawn for ling..
nice nice? (:
it was a um.. simpler card cuz i was running out of time (oops...) but i tried my best to make "L" as intricate as possible.. heh. sorry eh, everyone knows i'm such a hopeless procrastinator.
spot the lil' mischievious angels playing hide-and-seek
shortly after i met felicia, we gathered at lido intending to watch a movie. but the seats left are all front rows la! urgh. so we went to eat instead.
we went to Big O at wheelocks place. yikes. i will never ever step in again.
- food: passable.. but too pricey. $15 for millionaire's salad with a few pieces of meat (only served when we enquired). how's that? i don't feel pampered like a millionaire at all. -_-''
- service: horrible. utterly dao waiters and waitresses as if we owed them a living. wth. took a good 10 minutes (or more) before they finally bothered to serve us.
- price: why am i paying 10% service charge when there's no service at all?! urgh. they don't even offer to give a PLASTIC smile like, "please come again *radiant smile*!".. more like "can you don't come here ever?!"
all in all, i don't like it there. i guess i'd feel better at nydc (which was just opposite big o).
...
to cheer us up, we took pics.
birthday girl not holding birthday present. hurmph. =)
btw, this spot was in wheelocks. bet you guys never notice this place. ha. i felt so tourist-sy that day...
then we went zara for shopping!! we were so engrossed that we almost forgot that we were supposed to meet siti for our part ii - durian feast!
we met siti in bugis and took neo-prints! lol. quite fun la.. but felt seriously over-aged.
by this time, we were like tired.. so we started stoning at rockery.. and took pics again! haha.
another one.
energy restored, and off we went to bugis street. durian feast was hilarious.
it was all our first time eating durians outdoors (as in eating along the roadside).
then as girls, we were picky about which vendor, which table to choose.. so anyway, we settled at this rather spacious spot for our durian feast.
then.. we even went to buy WET TISSUES in fear of dirty hands. lol. i even contemplated to buy little translucent plastic bags so that i dont have dirty hands! lol. but i reckon its really odd to do that, 'cause NO ONE does that there. so wet tissues will suffice then. =/
the legendary D24.
feasting..
yum.
siti and i can be the official durian-openers that day la. but some of them are so difficult to pry open! so.. perhaps guys should be present for such durian events. (:
it was actually quite an experience. the night breeze and the great company.. it all makes the spiky durian seem a lil' more tastier. but woah. 3 D24 are huge and we were so full ok. what an exotic dinner. heh. and soo much better than lunch! (im still appalled by big O.. bleah)
anyway.. we wanted to take a group photo.. and siti was picking which one will be friendly enough to take pic for us! thank goodness there was this bunch of guys around our age who were there ready to feast on durians too! so there you go..
this was not it! tired enough, we still went to explore arab street and haji lane. but haiz, most of the stalls are closed. i'd love to visit such quirky concept stores (albeit the pricey designer prices)..
oh what an eventful day! we were allll tired but fulfilled. hope you had fun too, ling! (:
