Our Birthday Celebration

Its been eons since I blogged and I don't know why I have a sudden urge to blog so much. Well, since I have the time and I am in the mood to blog, let me just blog about my day today.
So, today I met Zixin and Yunqi at Sakae Sushi Sunplaza for an birthday celebration. Though mine is already over, which is on the 26 of November, and Zixin's is on 1st of December, might as well hold it together. Initially, we wanted it to be on the 28 of November since its my day off as the Bugis Albert Centre is doing its cleaning. But, due to unexpected plans and unforseen circumstances, we had to push the celebration to 29. But then again, Yunqi got a job interview. So, the outing was pushed to today. LUCKILY, our outing today has gone without a hitch though Yunqi came late as usual. But this time due to some probs at home. And congrats her for finding a job at Ding Tai Fung, which requires their staff to put on light make-up and wear stockings. She has been posted to work at Paragon, Orchard which is so faraway. Hope she wouldn't be late on her first day of work. She says that she will be doing stuff like taking orders, serving food (wow, serving food, judging from the way she holds her food in the canteen and the speed she moves from the stall to the table) Erm, good luck to her then. and cleaning up the table after the customers left. Its still quite a good job though, paying $8 per hour. Woots. She is still able to choose the days for which she wants to work. But not sure how long will she able to hold the job. Well for me, my job aint that fantastic. But, its still a job and i'm working for my own relatives. SO, well, okay, I still get to go to Korea next year, so why not?

Okay, so we ate the buffet at Sakae. Zixin started grabbing lotsa food from the belt and I ordered the food I wanted on the computer. The service isn't that good there. Maybe they thought that we were just mere students and treated us another way. So we started eating whilst waiting for Yunqi. While doing so, we exchanged our presents. I hand sown some western pastries for Zixin which I learnt from a Japanese Book. Luckily she loved it. And I gave her the scrapbook that I specially made for her birthday and another which I made as a token of friendship plus a heartfelt letter. She bought Gongcha for me (my fave earl grey milk tea 80% sugar-which yunqi recommended me when i first started drinking). Plus a letter which contains a gift. Yunqi came and ordered, a few dishes. And we continued eating while chatting about her job. Then she gave us presents, souvenirs from Taiwan, my birthday gift and a card. Hahas, we looked like we are exchanging christmas gifts. And we ended up with big and small bags. We ate and ate and ate till we are damn full. Zixin managed to eat up everything she ordered, which she regretted for ordering so much. Japanese people are really smart. Sushi contains rice which makes us girls get full easily. And we ordered buffet, which means we don't get to eat a lot since we get so bloated easily though we have ocha (green tea) to ease the bloatedness. Still, I enjoyed the meal as we have a lovely get-together and I loved the soft shell crab!

Then, we proceeded to pay for our meal, of course we went dutch. I paid first and saw that we get ice cream yet we did not order. So the manager packed 3 cups of ice creams for us. Then we MRT-ed to Woodlands, Causeway point to go icing room to decor our cake. It was an exciting experience for us as this is the first time I am decorating such a mini cake. Only 4". Hands kept trembling as writing words on a cake aint the same as writing on a piece of paper. You can't correct your words if anything goes wrong. Luckily, Yunqi was quite experienced. And our cake turned out quite nice! Though it was nice, I don't know it will taste as nice as it looks? Will try later. The gongcha, cake and ice cream still lying in my fridge... Then we camwhored before asking the person to pack it up.

Headed to Guardian and Watson's for Yunqi wanted to buy some make-up for work. I know nutz bout make-up so I just tagged along. Zixin recommended her SilkyGirl but she's a bit apprehensive in buying as she don't wear make-up and knew nutz bout make-up too. Well, I don't know how to help her then. Time is almost up as she had to go to Tai Seng to collect her uniform. So we parted at the MRT. Zixin came to my house to get the cake and bye. Hope we can meet up during christmas time so that we can exchange presents.
