On 14 Aug we celebrated Mich's birthday...
Ok, another 'late' blog...
4 of us (LS, Alex, ATKS, me) had a small get together at Esplanade Thai Express to celebrate Mich's belated birthday.
Why Esplanade? Because got fireworks lor.... Why Thai Express? Because it's strategically situated (supposedly) to see the fireworks lor.... And it seems the only restaurant we eat there.
Ok, you know me: Photos!
Did I mention fireworks? Well this is like the only acceptable photo taken, given the fact that I did not use a tripod. As you can see, the fireworks happened a distance away, at Marina City Park. Nope, can't see a thing from Thai Express...
Here I must mention this weird phenomenon... that girls (most - you know who you are who) goes gaa gaa over this aerial display of burning magnesium, sulphur, phosporus and heavy metals. Mich was going "ooooohhh! aaaahhh!' Waaahhhh! So niceeeeeee!" all the time. Forgot to mention we have to walk a good 60 metres to get a decent view of the explosion, when they are high enough and not obscured by the trees. I was with Michelle, futilely taking photos while our 3 friends choose to stay rooted at the table that they have been rooted to for the last 2 hours.
Well, the show lasted a good 16 minutes I think, few hundred $$ just burned in 960 seconds. Cool.
Anyway, after the fireworks, we proceed to cut the cake. The cake was some creamy tiramisu sin. I wonder why humans are so enthu in butting globs of fat and oil into their mouth.....
Well...it's the 7th month, so try and ignore the....well u know.
Anyway we did took some decent ones, and that's the cake I was talking about. Again, try and ignore the skeletal fingers...:
Well after like 20 seconds, the cake is...
And then... notice the arrangement of the forks... guess who ate half the cake?
No cake, so they turn to deep thoughts....
