Happy Birthday To Me


There are a few things that became very apparent to me on my birthday celebration.
1. I am quite creative with flower arrangements. wow wow
2. I like inviting people over to the house
3. I make quite good Asian Tofu salad
4. My sister takes much better pictures than me (DANG!!)
My dayi's humour is one of the kind for her age. Oh I love her. The kids were promised a day of swimming with mimi and their mobile babysitters and all were looking forward to the splash.
A feast for hungry. Noodles and Kong Ba Bao (mimi), salad (me), chicken wings (wuyi), rice... None of us knows how to use the oven! Great job women!! When the party dies down, the real conversation begins over beer and chips.
Everyone tried their hands on the aggressive Wii Boxing game. Erwin's contiunous attacks need no defense, Frank's style apears to douge and hardly attacks, uncle Roger simply doesn't understand why he dies everytime and is our star entertainer (ie. laugh till your jaws get dislocated)

Bangkok Break

The Plan - arrive in BKK. Check in. Eat. Shop. Spa. Eat. Shop. Eat... All in all, we excuted the plan to perfection.

Staying together in a suite has its obvious advantages. Allan always make sure the fridge is well stocked with wine and beer (regardless that it is Bangkok's No Alcohol Day!) and the dining table has supplies of chicken wings, chips etc
Andrea is dead serious in her online research about getting the best spa deal for all of us. Lemon Grass Thai Fine Dining Restaurant is a great place to introduce business associates to Thai food. ie. freshest ingredients, nice ambient, expensive prices, refined taste. BTW, I think the waiters snubbed us because we gave too little tips
Now here we are talking! SomBoon Seafood restaurant. Some say its sensational, others say its heavenly. I call it - worth dying for. I have classified it as a MUST GO pilgrimage. I have never felt so blissful just eating. The steam sotong is beyond excellent. The fried galic prawns is a total inspiration. The salted sea bass is the most wonderful food I have eaten... (A sense of melancholy down there...) If this is my last meal, I will be contented.
