Belated birthday dinner – twenty three

The girls, Gel and Yen, celebrated their belated birthday (of hitting 23 years old) at Ta Lau Pan, last saturday night. Dress code was the floral dress – ‘souvenir’ when Gel went to Bali last month. That explains the pink floral dress that I wore on previous post’s picture. :D

With the girls and our floral dress. We looked like we were ready for a party at Myrtle beach vacation rentals or maybe Bali. But what to do, we only have Pantai Cermin here. See, my dress is longer than everyone else. So wtf. >.<

I have learnt the lesson from previous celebrations, that nobody would be interested in eating the cake after the full meal and sometimes other friend would buy a cake too. So, I thought of being smart and effective, not buying any cake cause somebody else might be doing so already. Better give something useful rather than a cake which will only end up in *ehem ehem* toilet bowl the next morning.

But guess what, nobody brought any cake! Aiyoyo.. There goes the moment of blowing candle and sings Happy Birthday song. >.< I should have bought a small cupcake or so. At least can put candle. Lesson learnt, never assume.

Anyway, since I was talking about birthday celebration from the girls, I might as well do a flash back.

February 2009 at Tea Garden. Celebrated their – Yen, Jan, Vis – belated 22 years old birthday, I think. Somebody was still single at this time and 6 months later, which is now, she is happily attached to a great man. He better treats her nicely, otherwise I’m so gonna break his arm into two. As if I can. :P

May 2008 at Pizza Hut. Celebrated Gel belated birthday, of 22 years old I think. Acap has started to grow his hair before he turns into a good-boy look like now. Weee…

February 2008 at Ria Restaurant. Celebrated their – Jan, Yen, Vis, Dewi – belated birthday, of 21 years old I think. But I bought a ’2′ and ’3′ candle cause my Dad said better count according to lunar calendar. :P Don’t ask why they were celebrating 21 and I bought 23 – differed by 2 years instead of 1 year, cause actually they were already 22 at that time. *complicated mode on* Let’s move on.

Anyway, look at Acap’s hair and the shirt. Still bad boy look. This was also the last time I met Henn before she went to Singapore and works there. :(

belated-birthday-pizza-2006

January 2006 at Pizza Hut. Celebrated Jan belated birthday of either 19 or 20. I know the candle was number 19 though. :P I was in semester 5 – final year and the girls were still in college too. It was also the era of super-flat-straight-hair (almost going to end). Just look at our hair. Lol.. I don’t know why, but super straight and flat hair looked super good back then. I should have at least go for smoothing instead, since my hair is not that thick.

So, we have come to the end of flash-back-ing. There is no birthday-celebration-pics from 2007. I don’t know where am I at that time. :P Probably the girls didn’t celebrate on that year.

It’s a sad thing to know that I won’t be in the pictures on their next year celebration (and next next year and so on) and I won’t be their photographer too. Gotta ask them to PS-ing my picture inside. Else, fetch me with the Angel’s boat from Bali la, girls~! :P
