21st Pre-birthday celebration

Hello!!! It's September aka my birthday month! Aaaannnd I sorta celebrated my birthday for the whole month. I know I sounded like a spoiled brat but don't blame me, I'm just too lucky and blessed to have awesome people around me who gave me such great memorable 21st birthday. Say real one, its better than how i envisioned it to be. I'm truly happy and glad to have everyone *literally* celebrating my special day with me!

At first i thought of organizing a party for my birthday but my date kinda clashed with my friend's wedding day so yeah no party. Changed to dinner gathering instead. That's why I wasn't hoping for anything big as we (my friends and I) were all busy preparing for the wedding. Two of my uni girlfriends came over to my place for few nights stay and so i took the responsibility to bring them around for shopping and what nots! So I decided to have my birthday dinner at Maricosa, Straits Quay Penang. I was kinda sad and grumpy cuz my friend XueFen couldn't make it due to some stuff but nvm that.

Wanted to try this place out cuz I kinda fancy the Hawaiian themed decorations! lol

Even the chairs and ceiling fans look so cutee!  

Many interesting things are sold there too. 

with love!

Karmun and Ting

we ordered Strawberry Margarita. It has the 'Slurpee' texture from 7-11, different from what I used to try before.

Tomato Bruschetta 

Fettuccini Ala Carbonara- I really like the rich and creamy white sauce.

Salmon and Venus Clam Tajine- Both salmon and clams are fresh. Bouillabaisse stock kinda spicy but its all good! 

All Tajine courses are served with either 2 bowls of pearl rice or 4 pieces of house bread :)

 Overall i think the food was oh-kay. I find the desserts are all overpriced. Other main courses are reasonably priced. After our dinner, we had a walk outside enjoying the sea breeze and night view. We took a couple of pictures as well! :D

oh ya, Karmun is my product of the day. Her make up and clothings are all mine! LOL

:)

 Next stop, to The Library to meet up with XueFen. It was my first time there! ;p

pretty hot and sweaty. 

Ground floor is kinda pack and so we were seated on the first floor. I personally preferred that cuz its not so stuffy and smoky compared to the ground floor. 

our drinks! 

XueFen's virgin drink- "Very Safe Sex On The Beach"
she had to drive back home alone so we didn't let her drank anything alcoholic! 

The band singing for the night. 

 So here comes the climax. While we were just chilling around and chatting, XueFen suddenly opt to have my camera. I thought she wanted to snap a picture with me but she INSIST on holding my camera herself. I was kinda shocked but wasn't thinking anything much so I just gave her my camera. After a few minutes a waiter came with a cake and i started blushing. FML face immediately turned red as if I was sosososososo drunk! Then the band made a huge announcement and sang the birthday song for me which made me even redder. wtf seriously I think I cannot digest so many surprises at one time!
 

My birthday cake!
 Can immediately recognise its from the bakery I worked from previously. ROFL.

I have absolutely no idea why the way I am wishing looks like praying. HAHAHA

The girls insisted love to give me a birthday kiss! *blush 7637925368316 times more*

Yours Truly :D

a dark group picture. the brighter/with flash version makes my red face look sooo obvious so I have no choice but to post this one here instead. 

Finally, I would really like to thank my girlfriends for planning this for me. Seriously, never thought that they would come up with a surprise but it turned out the other way round which made me really really happy and touched. What more can I ask for when I can have such awesome people to celebrate my birthday with me!
 I guess i'll stop now cuz I might start getting all emotional later LOL. Will continue another birthday celebration soon in another post so stay tuned!
