Mum's 50th bday

Last month on the 23rd, we celebrated mum's golden birthday at Dragon-i, QueensBay mall.






Ruth bought this hazelnut cake from secret recipe. Indeed there are chunky hazelnuts in it!


The highlight of the day I would say was these little piggy 'pao' filled with red bean paste.



We all love it's cuteness that each of us took picture and pose with it! Besides, mum was born in the year of pig!






We tried all means to make the pig looked cuter or ...













It's nose on dennis' tongue!







Here comes the b'day girl's portion.

On my 20th Birthday - as promised -

In reference on this previous post...

My friends and family made my day on my 20th birthday!

I came back from work on that day and I was surprised that Dennis and Patricia was already at my home to give me the surprise birthday celebration.



However, little felix boy almost cause the whole surprise thing to ruin..lol..let me tell you..



The cakes and the people were hiden in Ruth's room, and when I stepped in the house, little Felix was at her room door and said "QQ, you 'surprise' gei ni.." (translation: gail gail, there's a surprise for you) and my mum quickly closed his mouth..
So I roughly had the idea..but I definitely didn't expect both Den Den and Pat Pat would be at my house in preperation for the special day.




Gift from my secondary school friend from Starbucks. Thanks Goldie =)



The cake bought by Dennis..




The cheeky little Felix boy boy..







The big family







Here are the gifts I received from them:


Miniature Starbucks cup from Ruth and Patricia



A card from church sent via snail mail



A card originally made by Rachel my sister, the origami expert



And last but not least, a lovely card by Den Den


And a watch, just as what I always wanted with a few hints to him..hehee =)


These things happened on the 6th Nov 2008

Thanks!

Thank you so much everyone for the bday wish =) Especially in facebook i have 22 ppl wishing me, some people shook my hands and huggie, and a few from friendster. thanks again =)
It really made my day, especially that special someone. Thanks dear.
Will be updating more about it soon!!!

Rediscovering

Day by day it pass me by
From the rising of the sun to it's going down
Then comes week by week
And then month by month
Till when I realise it, it has already passed a year
One year come and gone after another

Looking back how I was years back
When I was a toddler, a child when I wished that I was an adult
Young and naive, not understanding how the world works

As I emerged to a teenager
Things around me got stranger as I rediscover myself
Like a young bird learning to fly
Being pushed by mummy eagle that taught me to fly in a nick of time
But, there are more to learn

Now that I no longer called a TEEN-ager
And life just go on and on
Sometimes I hope that time would just roll back, like what anyone else would like
Or even freeze at the moment to captivate the fond memories that lifts up my soul
Though they are little and rare
I hope that this year's birthday
Would be something more than the usual
And that would be...(fill in the blanks yourself).

Out of the blues,

Gail

B'day Bash

Negligence is the word.
I know that this birthday bash was like 2 weeks ago, and finally I found the time to write it.
It was Pat's 15th birthday!

This video will help me narrate how the surpirse birthday went. Mind you, this video is 8 minutes and 23 seconds, with all my hard work of putting the video together, so if you were to watch this, please be patient and wait until it is downloaded fully before enjoying it.
I reckon this would be something that Pat could keep it for remembrance =)


Another added reason why my readers should watch the video is because it took me two days to upload but failed. This time, it worked and I immediately posted it here.

Then we brought her to a Jap restaurant.

Coming up next...my birthday! ngek ngek ngek...

I just love Weekends~

HAPPY 23RD B'DAY, RUTH!!

Here we are at Ribs, Burma Road after church service and all of us are first timers here!
We celebrated her b'day yesterday, though it's supposed to be on Sat.

We head for the lunch set, complete with starters, main course, dessert and a drink.
As for starters, we had spinach soup that is topped with some creamy cheese which serves it well, and boy, the soup was fantastic!


Here's Patricia's pasta with grilled chicken

The taste's not bad..with tomato dressings

This is Dennis' chicken cordon bleu

The birthday girl's petit combo that is pork's meat. It's very aromatic and the meat is tender.

My herbs braised lamb stew

I thought it'll come with just the lamb, but it turned out to be an asian style...WITH RICE!
I should have read the description of the menu first before ordering.. =_='
And the meat portion wasn't that much..but it was tasty though..

HAH! Siapa curi makan? hehe..

And for dessert..WALLA!

Banana fruto

It's tastey indeed! Cold ice cream vs. warm fried banana..yummy! And it's topped with mint.

Patricia's loving it!

Dennis showing off his teeth before the dessert

Ruth, happily with her fried banana

The ice cream is melting!

The bill summed up to RM90. Is it too expensive or valued for money?
Read some reviews of the restaurant: http://www.dineneasy.com/resultdetail.php?supplier_id=36

We then went to the large aquarium near there.
Few days before, she came back from KL and bought another Beta aquarium for her aqua friend, but just to found out that it was dead. Ruth went to the aquarium here to replace her dead Beta fish with two new ones!
She also bought a hamster in pearl colour and name it Linguini.
Reason? Go watch Ratatouille.

Linguini
This Linguini is a replacement of Keong Chai, a white rat.

Keong Chai which Ruth bought but abandoned about a month ago. Poor thing.
Why do you think Ruth did it? Cuz it bit her hands with two big holes when she tried to fetch it on its tail.

Later in the afternoon, me and Denn decided to explore the Balik Pulau side.
We stumbled a catholic church.


It's really really tall
The church was established in 1854

Dennis and his jeans advertisement...

Some memorials as old as in 1942

By the road side. Just right beside this church is Sacred Hearts primary school with a distinct basket ball court.
Opposite the church is another school called St. George Balik Pulau.

Then we walk and walk, and found out where to get the many said famous laksa of Balik Pulau. Weee!
BUT, it was closing. We went there late.

Walking along, we went to Kassim Mustafa and had dinner.

Moving along, we spotted a cat family!

Mother and six kitties!
That time she was milking the kitties and one of it spotted me taking picture. Heh!

The kitties were full.

Then one of them decided to play with Denn.

Exploring this part of the island makes me feel like I'm at another place that's not penang!
There it was, my happy Sunday!
