My Birthday: The Coastal Settlement with besties

The girls surprised me by suggesting to go to TCS for my birthday. It was on my to-go list and when the girls said they're bringing me to a place in Changi but couldn't reveal until we were there, I almost immediately guessed out loud, "Is it Costal Settlement?"

I got pretty accessories for the girls from my Taiwan trip. Scroll to see the last two pictures.

Alright! Shall let the pictures delight and tantalise you :)

My Birthday: Da Paolo Bistro Bar

My birthday was surrounded with good food and love. That makes me a very happy 28 year old. Will let the pictures do the talking.

And so we turn One :)

Our first anniversary was nothing short of amazing.

I tried to explain how much I love you...

"I've never love someone so so much before. I used to think I have loved, until I met you...then I realized, no, I've never understood love before today. What I'm saying is, I don't want to lose you. That is how much I love you and the reason for my change."

I have change somehow, for the better I think. It's not easy but you give me hope and reason to go on day after day no matter the season.

To be honest, I'm not really interested to make it work. I'm interested to make it last. Today, you'd have realized I've settled in for the long haul.

You are simply amazing and that is why I love you.

Once again, happy first anniversary babydear.

Love,
Michelle

My Twenty Six - Pre, In & Post (sorta)

Ying dear brought me to sample Peranakan-Thai vegetarian fusion at White Earth, a lone restaurant along Peck Seah Street. We unanimously wore the same coloured garb on our girlie night out! Hahaha. Rare to find someone who wears bright colours as me. :)

Food was served in moderate proportions for two and considerably expensive for vegetarian food.

The highlight was of course, catching up and in reminiscent of our decadent friendship of good food and sinful nightcaps many times over, we headed to Timbre @ Arts House.

















































Crazy warmish weather didn't dampen our moods one bit!

T'was brunch the next day with Katt and Qi at Wild Honey.

We ordered Tunisian, European and English between the three of us.













My first day of work was seen around the Central Business District as we prod and trottered with our Cockle suited buddies in a Guerrilla Stunt.




Dinner date on a Saturday night with N was had at Outback Steakhouse. I missed the food there.













Chicago Musical the following day with N. T'was a thoroughly marvellous 2.5 hours show. While I enjoyed and came to love Roxie Hart's cutesy character, N loved Velma Kelly's role which oozes personality. :)













Modelling new red bag courtesy of N :) He created a touching slideshow for my birthday. Nothing beats a heartfelt homemade presentation. I loved it so much I watched it every chance I got.




Met Row and Rox darlings last Friday. They presented makeup products and ironically, a video clip chronicling 8 years (WOW!) of our amazing kinship. Happiness was all mine.

These darlings never fails to surprise me.

We indulged in orgasmic tiramisu...







Ying and Daffy met me for brunch at Wild Honey (I've been hanging out at this place for consecutive 3 weekends in a month. It's that good!).

I spotted a chunky black ring and Ying bought it for me as a personal gift on top of vouchers I requested for at the legitimate Haivainas store.

The Belgium waffles set is to die for.




Daffy's Mexican wraps are equally good.




Beloved Daffy...




And my beautiful Ying :):):)




Glorious brunch after an almost 1 hour wait.




Happy girl with her Juice Pack! Thank you cia, cat, oya and katt :) It's a brilliant gift for a heavy iPhone user! You guys totally read my mind :)




I whispered a prayer of thanks for every wishes I got. All the riches in the world cannot buy the friendship and kinship I shared in this lifetime with some of the longest standing loved ones in my life. I am very honoured to have all these blessings from people whom I grow up amongst and will grow old with.

Thank you so so much for making my birthday one to remember year after year.

I love you all.
