A BirthDay Surprise For the Tally

I don't have a picture of the dirthday dinner with my mom. It was held at the Sichuan restaurant at the Park Plaza Hotel. Amazing deal $28 pax ala carte buffet, with 20% off for UOD card members and a free 0.5 kg birthday cake to top it off! Sis took some photos so I guess it'll have to wait till she's sent them to me .. in the meanwhile, yes, it is YET another birthday in the same week. This time it's Hsien Min's. Quiet unassuming Hsien Min. Called it a housewarmery, but it was actually his birthday. He pulled the same one last year, but Elaine and a couple of other regular chaps remembered. It was an apt gathering -- Peng Fong (also in the pix) had just proposed to Cindy -- big day is in June next year. Ruth had a good time running down the bride2b's laundry list. We had great fun trying out HM's mystery wine (Damn Chialat) from Vietnam. Had my first perrier in a can. quite refreshing. HM has got a lovely place Gilstead Road for a very fair sum of $1300/month. A stone throw from Newton MRT. Just got my tax bills for the car and also reminders to renew the insurance. Shheshh ... I should simplify life a little -- Ruth just said.
