.....times of refreshing.....

It was a nice weekend mainly I celebrated my birthday in advance with my family on a long weekend. Well, nothing grand but just a simple celebration and mainly it's eat and eat. I didn't post all the makan pixs here as I posted them before. September is a birthday month for my family as well as my in laws as there are lots of us born in this beautiful month. The birthdays will be follow by one another. And. next week I will be celebrating my kid's birthday as well as my wifey's birthday by the end of the month.

Here's your's truly with a Baskin Robbins ice-cream cake....thanks to the discounts due to the Merdeka celebrations

I always wanted to get a pen since mine was spoils long ago and to my pleasant surprise, my kid asked my wifey to get this Parker pen for me. They knew I love Parker and went to the mall to get it for me. Though it's not expensive but seeing that I am the sole bread winner for the family, the loving thoughts count a lot!!


And, oh.. before I returned back to Singapore, we had a simple dinner at Pekin Restaurant, not really a birthday dinner though or whatever it is... hahahaha... as we usually ordered the same food there.

Herbal chicken

'Four heavenly Kings'

Dragon vegetables

'Gu Rou' meat (Sweet and sour pork)

Next week will be my kid's turn and I needed to prepare two presents as usual, for both. So, whenever one got a birthday, the other one also got a pressie... to avoid jealously. hahaha...

Have a good week!

Sometimes I wonder are too we blindly follow the 'laws' until everything also have to follow unnecessarily. Well, I was sending my first ever P*slaju parcel after donkey years last Saturday morning. The P*st office was empty, thus I walked straight to the counter. However, the officer asked me to get a queue no. first. I was puzzled, there were no patrons around, thus why do I need a queue no. I thought queue no. are supposed to help us managed queues so that everything is in an orderly manner when there more than 1 patron. Feeling slightly irritating, I continued to stand at the counter (while the officer look down and did her work), and I asked my kid to get a no. Once he clicked,  I just pass the stuffs over to the officer before my kid passed me the ticket. The officer also didn't bother to verify the ticket and we just put it aside. Sigh ... I remember whenever I was at  TMTouch shops, the friendly officers just called me to the counter whenever it's empty.

OK, that's all about my rantings last Saturday morning, meanwhile it was a great Sunday after-all as Liverpool lost (opps.. no football talk here... hehehe) and we had a good time with our lunch. We were back at Lavender Bistro after a while. I simply miss my sandwiches and my little princess has also forgot about her strawberry shortcake which she alway ordered back then.

Mushroom soup for my kids

My kids also ordered a carbonara pasta, seems very wet.

A mushroom fried rice for my wifey

And, I had my favourite cheddar and ham ciabatta.

And, not forgetting my Americano. :)

After lunch, we walked nearby to Baskin Robbins for some ice-cream. My little princess, who ordered a wrong ice-cream, took my sherbet orange instead while I gotta finished her 'cough medicine' like strawberry ice-cream. *shake head*

Enjoying 'my' sherbet orange.

Have a good week!
