The close knitted bunch of the old alumni girls and I went out for dinner at La Risata, Medan Damansara.

I'm so glad that the girls were happy with the restaurant choice and dishes there (I suppose we have made good choices despite my recommendation for Ravioli de Pesce!) having a choice of Lobster, Salmon, Lamb and healthy chicken breasts.

A night of independent assertions, in-vehicle shocker stories, updates on bimbotic wannabes and the other usual girl stuff. So much to update each other with that we had to continue with round 2 and label our stories by a chapter marker.

Many thanks to Huei Ying for the yummeh cake!

A mint chocolate chip caramel coated with dollups of fresh whipped cream birthday cake for the three Aries women celebrating that night. We got Mei's parents and her adorable son Ryan to join in with us! Although we can proclaim that it's alright for us to over indulge that day, one can only stomach so much good food in one seating!

A candle for three of us that night

I end this post to show you a cross section  and a slice of the action... something you wished you were there to share

          

And I collected these on the way back to office. Brera boots! OMG

To find this on my table from Sister Rhandir. She knows a happy kitteh is a well fed Kitteh! Thank you so much

I was later for dinner with my family. They're camera shy but the food is not

And home for some bday cake!

Mom says I can't light up this one with candles. Apparently if I blow too many candles, I will age faster. Meh. (I'm still going to burn a few more candles anyway, I'll just put one on each cake I make my wish on! LOL!

          

Wait... Celebrations prolly started circa 12:30pm on April 7th 2009 when I called out Wan Feng for lunch so we could both seek relief in a Steaming Claypot of Bah Kut Teh. Uncalled for, unplanned, fun. I always knew how to keep my emotions in elevated levels by seeking happiness in food.

.... and at about 6:00-7:00pm. Off to Little Taiwan SS15 we go for the original idea. Huei Ying joined in and drove all the way after hearing what had happened to me earlier in the day. Thanks Huei Ying!

Plus the original two people I spent my entire 3 years with in Monash Wan Feng and Shing Ying. Looking at flies, cutting up rats, scurrying by the culture room with our noses pinched to avoid the smell of growing bacteria culture.

All the girls who know me so well and can take my eccentric mannerisms, egoism and random quirks (I shouldn't be proud of such things).

I had my very first makeshift Birthday cake, Birthday Thick Toast with peanut butter!

In the most "April" of ways and at these times, I settle down to certain things with child-like wonderment.

I always wish for the same thing every year since my 21st Birthday.

"Come what may, I'll take the bitter with the sweet, gains and the loss, love and bitterness. as long as at the end of my life, I'm a happier and better person. Oh and Screw It, just do it!"

I don't believe in not telling people your wish because if you can say it out (aiyoh sounds like some personal development training thing) and mean it everytime u wish for it, it will come true.

Although I'm Not 30 years old or 3 years old either, but with the help of the girls, we decided that three candles should have three special meanings attached to them.

Yellow for Happiness, Red for Prosperity and Pink for Love Luck and Beauty. Eh money inside there I pinjam from here and there... I'm not that rich so don't ever think of doing what I'm thinking you would do to me.

Thanks again to WF, SY and HY  who made the day extra special and being there for me.
