Birthday Celebration

Date: June 10th 2008
Venue: Italiannies, The Gardens MidValley
Birthday girl: Huixin
Organizers & friends: Gianwan, Eeling, Elaine, Siwei, Me

We went out to celebrate Huixin's birthday (belatedly as her birthday falls on the June 5th) and it was supposed to be a "surprise" birthday celebration for her but apparently the birthday girl was not all that surprised because somehow she kind of figured it out haha. It was a small affair, nothing too fancy and we decided on the venue on that day itself and when we went there it was as if we reserved the entire place because it was empty except for us and it was at lunchtime!

I was starving when I finally sat down and when I looked at the menu...forget about deciding what to eat I'm too hungry to think and everything looked so good, I did not care what was being ordered. This is why I do not remember any of the names of the food in the following pics but they were good especially the starter that Eeling ordered.

The flings. From left to right: Yellow Birdie (Huixin, that was how she got her nickname Birdie hehe), Bay Breeze (mine), Island Breeze (Gianwan) and Frozen Ocean (Elaine). We did not know what drinks we ordered because we couldn't hear what the waiter was saying so we decided to be a little adventurous and just picked whatever sounds nice and hoped that it turns out ok.

I was taking tentative sips of the drink cause I did not know what was it but it turned out ok. Huixin said it tasted like water that is used to wash hands when eating crabs. Okayyyy..but I was happy with my drink which is some sort of lime mixture and it is handy when you have to down lots of cheese later.

The starter that Eeling ordered. It was very, very good. Recommended if anyone goes to Italiannies. Forgot what it was called but there's a pic of it in the menu so it's easy to order haha.

The main courses. The only one I remembered was the Classic Pizza because who can forget such a simple name? But the pizza was so-so only, I prefer the ones at PastaMania. The pasta was overdone and tasted a bit soggy and by the time I got to the lasagna I could not down anymore cheese, it was so cheesy and although I like cheese but too much of it will make me not eat cheese for some time.

These are the other pics that we took during and after our meal...


There were more pics than these but I'm too lazy to upload all of them. After this we cannot go back there for some time because we were jumping here and there and taking pics everywhere haha. After our heavy lunch and taking lots of pics, we went walking around The Gardens and then Huixin and I went to KLCC to get the shoes that she wanted since last year I think...Not bad yea we can go to two different places in a day. Up next, our (Huixin and I) "date" with McDreamy at the movies hehehe...

Procrastinating

Procrastinating is bad...so very bad...but I do it anyway :)
Was supposed to sleep at this time so that I can wake up early and go for my first aid classes at the Red Crescent Society (for electives) tomorrow but in the end Andrew the Palli and I decided to go for the next class which is in 2 weeks time. We decided at the last minute or more precisely around 11-11.30pm that we are going to go for the intro class which is cheaper anyway. The end result: postponed my electives for another 2 weeks.

Procrastinating is bad la and Andrew the Palli just asked me today about what we are going to do tomorrow (the day before the classes were supposed to start) and I did not even plan anything until it was really too late as I was preoccupied for the past few weeks and both of us were panicking and making decisions at the last minute.
Seriously...we are a bunch of "lepak" people as he puts it and we can still laugh at it...hopeless la...

And speaking of the classes, this guy who answered the phone when I first called the main office long ago really made me speechless for awhile and when you see this you will understand why.

Me: What is the difference between the basic first aid course and the intro to first aid and CPR course?
Guy: The basic first aid course teaches the basics and the intro is just the intro.
Me: .......

Seriously.
