.:. Happy B'day Mum! .:.
Nobody escapes the wrath of my grandma, not even the army HAHA!
Kinda self-explanatory. It's my mum's bday, so we went to marina barage to eat. 7th Storey Restaurant. Had their ala carte steamboat, which is quite of standard. The soup was very nice. Was actually hoping to take some very nice photos there but the weather was very cloudy, so lighting wasn't that nice to take photos.
Then after we went over to Changi Airport to eat Swensen's Ice cream hehe :). Ordered a mudpie for the 1st time, Hazzelnut Cappucino. It was yummy! 1 layer of mocha ice cream, 1 layer cake then another layer of ice cream, drizzled with hot caramel sauce and hazzelnuts. Woohoo! Fat-inducing goodness sia!
Actually, I never thought much about birthdays, at least once I got older that is. When I was a kid(and I believe it applies to most ppl as well), birthdays are just a good reason to get presents, the rare chance to buy the toys that you like. That's kinda the purpose of birthdays then. But now that I'm older (oh the big 20), birthdays are like...birthdays. Its not a really special occasion or what, just one year older. Maybe this stems from my thinking that ppl dun just grow more mature cos they are one year older. Rather, ppl mature through the year, undergoing the ups and downs of the year and slowly gain the exprience of life. It ain't a 1 day thing, but a slowly piece by piece joined together puzzle. So ya you dun need to have your birthday to signify that you're more mature.
Dun get me wrong, I dun hate birthdays. I just dun see the High point of it, like 21st birthdays and all. But I do like birthdays because its a reason for friends and family to gather together, and spend quality time with each other. Its a time where you eagerly await the surprises you know your friends are gonna throw for u, just that you haveno idea what surprise it will be. And you know that your family will be at home to celebrate your birthday with you no matter what. That's why I like birthdays, its not because of being one year older, its cos of the sense of belonging that you feel in that ppl care about you :).

Happy Birthday Mum!
