An Occasion Celebrated in 2 Days: Day 2

Previously:
Yvonne, Luvena and I went down to E!Hub on Last Sunday to celebrate Alvin's birthday. We watched movie, played pool and had dinner together, and had quite a number of silence chat...

Today is the actual date of Alvin's birthday. This time round, I came out with a different group of people to celebrate, which is none other than my Navy batchboys. I met up with Kai Yan first, who suggested to go Orchard to look for cakes. It was around 6.30pm when we reached Orchard, and we went to Takashimaya to venture for bakery store. But I don't recall any bakeries around the mall, except for Crystal Jade Bakery. Hence, we went to take a look and fortunately, they sell cakes that comes in 6'' and 8'', which are just nice for 6-8 people. We bought the cake and quickly went up to Pasta de Waraku in Heerens and "bribe" the staff to help us hide the cake.

I texted those waiting in Somerset Control Station to make their own way up. These 3 people are Alvin, Wee Khiang and Potato. Alvin asked where were the 2 of us, because he has been waiting over there since 6.30pm (We supposed to meet 7pm over there), and he did not seen us. Haha, I lied and said that we overshot and went to Orchard instead. Of course, he would smell something fishy going on.

The 5 of us ordered without waiting for the 2 latecomers. I ordered the Pasta which called Beef Sukiyaki. That is the one I wanted to eat after eating with my brother the last time. From the picture, it is so nice. But when the food is served, there are vegetables and onions, the ones I don't usually eat, but the picture does not really show these 2 food... Nevertheless, I still finished the whole bowl, it is still delicious. Ming Jie came not long after food was served. He looked bigger than last time we saw him. He must been having more proteins for his gym regime... But he still thinks that he looks small...

Potato and Kai Yan ordered for another side dish since they are not too full after finishing their orders. I thought they made the right choice since we are still waiting for Meng Yong. However, after their side dish, Meng Yong still needed another 20 minutes more to reach the place. I thought it is better for him to come up so that we could have the cake together, while I lied saying that Meng Yong wanted to have his dinner.

Finally, Meng Yong came up and when he was starting to show he doesn't want to eat anything, I called the staff to serve the cake. Haha. Alvin knew that that was coming. The staff actually put up all the candles (Yes, 2 Big and 2 Small Candles) for him. Alvin was like "NoOoOoOo", did not want to face the reality that he is getting old. The cake Kai Yan and I got for him was actually Mango Mousse Cake. I got him mango since I learnt from Last Sunday that he likes it. I passed my bag to Kai Yan because he said he wanted to give him the present. Kai Yan took it out, and smacked it on Alvin. Haha, and the next scene was Alvin beating Kai Yan up, saying "Thanks" at the same time. I hope this present will not disappoint him, since it was already prepared last week when I came out with Kai Yan and Meng Yong. It was a sweater, and he is afraid of cold, so it will come in handy if he is going to attend lectures in the future. Hope so.

And again, Alvin and I were like mimicking each other's moves on dining table. We like to rest our hands on the table the same way, rest our heads on our hands the same way, fold our hands after leaving our hands from the table... Sigh.

The service of the staff working in that restaurant was great. Even if we brought in "foreign cake", they still served us with extreme pleasure. It makes me like Pasta de Waraku even more. Haha.

I'm going to accompany Yvonne home since I already make a promise to go home with her. The boys did not mind going with me, so we walked to Dhoby Ghaut. They like saying that the 7 Dwarfs were going to meet the Snow White, since there were 7 of us. We met up with her and I introduced her to my fellow batchboys. Our train came first, and Ming Jie decided to take with Meng Yong and Wee Khiang towards North side, so it is a goodbye to the 3 of them.

I was talking to Yvonne while the other 3 chatted among themselves. It was like that until Alvin alighted at Eunos (He was going to his cousin's house to watch the Soccer Match together.), and then the 4 of us formed a circle in the train and started talking to each other. It was still ok since Yvonne, Kai Yan and Potato were Ex-Meridians, they had common topic to chat. Potato, Yvonne and I alighted at Tampines, and I walked home from the station, leaving the other 2 to chat themselves as they taking bus home. Haha.

So that's it. It is the first time I ever organise a birthday for a guy in 2 separate days. Haha. Now my beloved batchboys are calling for a Ubin Cycling Expedition!!! They just saying organise one, but they did not direct to anyone who will organise it... Hmm... I will just pretend I never hear it!
