dun think i ever wanna celebrate my birthday again. no dinners, no cakes and most importantly no singing of the bday song! *faints*

and so i thought i could escape the whole birthday celebration thingy, boy was i wrong. met my whole family yday to go pay respects to my late grandpa, he passed away a few days after me bday. then my aunt planned to go dinner at some chinese restaurant at thomson plaza thereafter. i thought everyone forgot abt my bday, i was so so wrong. i felt loved but at the same time, i wished they had forgotten abt it. i wasnt up to the whole celebration thingy, juz wanted quiet and peaceful one.

luckily i had another not so close aunt who's bday was a few days earlier than mine and so i had someone to go thru all the embarrassing moments with. *phew* shall talk abt that slightly later. the food at the restaurant was pretty good but there were a few hiccups here and there, i was feeling nice then like as if i had a halo above my head therefore i didnt kick up a big fuss. there were a few things i was quite
impressed with tho.. there was this steamed prawn dish and they actually offered to de-shell it. at first i thought i heard wrongly but my cousins sitting next to me were like 'did u juz hear wad i did, like de-shell the prawns?' haha and de-shell it they did! very quickly and nicely... the heads of the prawns were still fully attached!!



and then came a venison dish.. it was yummy and i was again impressed with the presentation of the dish...




and then the dinner ended... and my aunt bought a cake. like awwww man. so we had to go thru all the rites of singing the birthday song and me being totally embarrassed cuz everyone in the restaurant was like staring. i really felt like hiding under the table. well for all that embarrassment i got quite a few red packets so i shan't complain. it was a fair exchange? haha.
