It's Boo's Big 3-0!

Boo just turned 30 on Monday! To celebrate his big 3-0, we went to House for dinner! Was planning to surprise him but in the end, I was so busy, I couldn't make it in time to go pick him up!

The stupid taxi driver nearly spoiled the evening when he took an extremely long route to Dempsey! Usually it would have cost be about $6+ to reach from my office at Outram but this time, it cost me $11!!! I was freaking pissed! I had to keep my cool, if not the whole evening will be bad lor! Curse him ar!

So! Here we are at House, having a simple but great time!



Boo's looking real happy!
The Ice coffee Boo ordered didn't came with milk and when we requested for it, they came back much later with a tiny espresso cup filled with hot steamed milk.
I liked the tiny cup! So cute!

Skinny Pizza!
My 2nd time having this super crispy pizza!
Very nice!
But I ordered the wrong one this time. I should have gotten the squid ink one...
The Salami and pesto was alright lah, but there is feta cheese on it though....
My portion!

Boo taking a big bite!
We ordered the American Sliders as well!
I had it the other time with Celine and the Boeys and I like beef patty!
Oh! And not forgetting the lovely duo fries!
Delicious truffle fries and sweet potato fries combination!

The burgers looked so cute!

The Guiltless Chocolate Cake!
It's realllllly verrrryyyy Swwweeeeet!
I feel it's way to sweet to be called Guiltless!!!!
Oh well, the cake was suppose to be served for another purpose!
Which is.........

.... for me to put this on! Hahaha!!!!

My Boo acting cute with my tiny hand-made card.

Boo's making a wish real hard!!!
Look at his face!

It was Boo’s 1st time to Dempsey (he knows he is “suah-ku”!) and he really liked it.

A big 3!
Mine's coming soon too! Yikes!!!!

And we headed home after that!☺

What a Surprise!!!!!!
I had to tell this story!
Earlier on Monday morning, Boo's colleague, Tracy, msn-ed me to ask if I can join them for lunch at Tiong Bahru Plaza to sort of surprise but I couldn’t as I had to clock in and out for lunch. So I offered an alternative to show up with a birthday cake to surprise him when he is having lunch! And I had made them change plans to have lunch at Great World instead so it would be nearer for me.
So came lunch time, I had lunch at the food court and continue to liaise with Tracy with the timing. I even helped to get the cake so as not to rouse any suspicion!
After getting the cake from Sweet Secret, I went straight to the Crystal Jade Kitchen on level 3 with the cake. I met Tracy, who showed me where Boo and his team were. Not thinking too much of anything, I lit the candles and slowly paced my way to the private room.

“Happy Birthday!”, I said when I step into the room.

Boo’s face lit up and I looked at the rest of his colleagues. At the corner of my eye, I saw there were another table next to theirs and I thought it was his colleagues too, so I turned and look……..

I saw a really familiar face. It was Justin, my boss’s son and I got a shock! It took me a good 5 seconds to realize my Boss was there too! And I turned and my familiar faces I saw! Not only some of my colleagues were there, the Taiwanese buyers were there too! Oh my god!!!

I was utterly embarrassed and shocked! People both familiar and strangers were looking at me and the commotion I caused!

My boss stood up and congratulated Boo. (Yes! CONGRATULATED! He went like, “oh your birthday ah, gong xi gong xi ah!”) I was like thinking, “gong xi???!!!!” Hahaha!

After the short 5-10 minutes commotion, I quickly made an excuse to go and exited the private room and head back to the office!

LayC, Kim and Dulcy were waiting for me at the taxi stand and they couldn’t believe my luck too! Goodness!!!!

I told them, “guess the surprise was really for me, not Boo!”

Hahaha!
