Gerald's Birthday

We decided to take leave to celebrate Gerald's Bday & to enjoy a long weekend. Had sumptuous lunch at Bar & Billard Room Restaurant @ Raffles Hotel. Totally enjoyed the good quality food & sumptuous spread. Yummy desserts!
The whitewashed colonial style hotel is a perfect photo-taking spot!
Met up with Adrian, Michelle & Leong and Darryl for dinner at Central. Karen & Sharon joined us at Helipad where Robin spins. Quite a nice club (I loved the chillout area at the roof top!) and the music is great. We haven't club for a while so everyone let loose & really enjoyed the night.

Very Happy Birthday...

It's my birthday today and i felt particularly happy and contented this year.. all my loved ones and friends are around and things are smooth sailing which is all that i could ever ask for.

Since I've moved out from my parents house, we've grown closer and made more effort to be nicer to one another. Celebrated my birthday in advance with my family on Sunday. My sister bought me an awfully chocolate cake while my nephews & niece sung the birthday song & handmade some cards and presents. Mum as usual fed me with good food by cooking my favourite salted vegetable duck soup. Dad who is usually stoney & MCP called to wish me happy birthday and gave me a kiss over the phone! Even Gerald's parents gave me birthday ang paos.

Today also happened to be my first day of work at DC. I'm glad that culture seems pretty good and they do not advocate working OT which is great! Working environment is good too! Got a window seat with pretty good view except that the workstations are smaller.

And of course, there's Gerald. He got me a tiffany bracelet, from my favourite Atlas range. *nice* My first little blue box from Gerald and I hope there's more to come in future... hehe =)


Also got many birthday greeting from friends, especialy some longtime friends which was heartwarming. Ivy & Adrian were so sweet too. They got me a bouquet of flowers and turned up at Coca while Gerald & I were having dinner to wish me happy birthday... hehe a truly satisfying birthday.

Jes~ 27th Birthday...

Andana Spa.. simply heaven! Tai-tai treatment for a day..

Last Friday, I took a well-deserved break from work and indulged myself with a massage session at Andana Spa. It was simply heaven.. the best spa I've been so far! The place was ideal for friends and couples to relax and chill out. ;o) In the end, I signed up a package with them, intending to give my wedding helpers a luxurious treat by having my hens party there. Besides, their couple room looks great so was intending to celebrate our coming anniversary there.

Sat was great too.. It was the eve of my birthday so I had good time eating and shopping for my present in the afternoon. It was particularly nice because my family (everyone including my nephews and niece) celebrated my birthday for me. We had BBQ at home with lots of yummy food. Gerald even got me a chocolate cake from Awfully Chocolate @ Katong. It was my first time trying it and indeed it tasted delicious!

Gerald surprised me by getting the new LG Chocolate HP for me. It looks great and the touch screen is really easy to use. It's the ideal present because I'll never bear to buy it myself. But in a way, I'm feeling kinda heartache because it's rather expensive... so it's really an extravagence considering that my motorola V3 is still working fine.








However, my actual birthday (Sunday) turned out to be disasterous. Something unexpected cropped up and I was really upset. In fact, it was one of the worst days I ever had. :o( But guess we would better appreciate the good things in life only if we go through a rough patch.

Gerald's 30th Birthday...

It was Gerald's Birthday yesterday. As it was a monday, we had a simple celebration (dinner & movie) after work. Though it may seems mundane, it was nice & intimate. Most importantly, we managed to spend quality time with each other (which is especially rare during this World Cup season where most guys go crazy) ;oP

His birthday present was the new AquaRacer!
Initially I was a bit hesitant about getting such an expensive gift since we're supposed to be saving up for the house and wedding. But it's his 30th Birthday so was hoping to give him a pleasent surprise.

I'm glad to see the joy in his eyes upon receiving the present. ;o)
