in getting to holland v last night to celebrate peiyi's 20th birthday, it was really like a drama serial lah. first, we had to lug the card to orchard mrt and cos I didn't put enough glue on the felt, we had to keep the letters from falling. second, we couldn't find sam at the mrt cos it was fricking crowded. third, on the bus we got off at the wrong stop cos i mixed up the stops haha. so we took the bus back to holland v. and in the end, while searching for olio cafe, we realised that it doesn't exist!
oh well, so we ended up at breko cafe instead haha. but it was a good choice because breko has really generous portions for the price! and this is peiyi with her huge card!
after dinner, we ended up at haagen daz to cut cake and sing the birthday song in korean! obviously cos py is obessed with korean drama now and she's always dressed korean-style haha.
jojo and py with the back of the birthday card! jojo kept hinting that it was very nice, very nicely done ah huimin, haha don't worry, we all got the hint for november :)
the birthday cake! sadly, it collapsed a little on the side because of the awful heat so it looked like the leaning tower of pisa. but we managed to prop it up with a fork so it still looks presentable! and because we were sitting under a fan, we had a bloody hard time trying to light the candle and keep it lighted during the whole birthday song!
can you see all the hands trying to protect the birthday flame? and at last, peiyi manages to make her 3 very long birthday wishes haha!
happy people at the end of the birthday celebration! even though we had a hard time getting there, it was really worth it in the end, for the food, the friends, the fun!
