Epistle of the stars!

Birthday Party...at last!!

Well...birthday parties are a weird thing. The older you get the more dignified it seem to get. Well, let's just say no more Ricky Martin dance-a-thons, Macarena group dances, pin the needle on the donkey and try to burst the balloon with your bums.

Sadly enough, we also grew out of the alcohol phase. Kinda sad though, I kinda felt alcohol always made the party a little more wild. On the other hand, this one was just as great without it. It was going to be a small festive Sunday dinner with close friends and obviously the housemates. Being a typically all Asian group, I decided hubby needed support from his other girlfriend, Ben to fight off the throngs of "la's" and "ma's". I invited a few friends from Uni and that's bout it. Yea...I don't think I have that much friends.

Anyway, as I excitedly devised the ten million things on my menu, I realised that with me working and all, I wont have the time and energy to do everything. But miracles of miracles, my elaborately planned menu was cooked up by Chef Hubby. He forced me to sit on the couch while he ran around cooking, whisking, baking and packing the stuff. All I did was make my macaroni and cheese and cut up the olives in the pre-bought salad. I never felt so lazy and loved. He even was the one to do the weird thing I do, trying to remember things we need prior to the party...all the fusing and worrying and nagging. I am truly loved....

The food menu was...*drool*

1. Crackers with 3 different types of dip (salmon, spinach & feta, sweet chili philly)
2. Greek salad with olives and feta cheese
3. Egg & ham quiche
4. Macaroni & cheese (from scratch- no pre made stuff)
5. Lamb cutlets with mint sauce
6. Honey soy & garlic chicken
7. Choc mint mousse (which was wat Hubby dearest was whisking about....YUM!)


And....THE PARTY WAS A BLAST....tho Annabel & Alessia couldnt make it.....*sob*

P.S. - Annabel's daddy came to town so she had to be a good girl and entertain him (I dun think fan dancing was involved) and Alessia had a little bailing out to do...(I am not telling u!)

Yes....we never tire of the bunny ears pictures. Some there are almost close to their mid crisis years......*blek* jk jk I love all of them....

Me and my goodest goodest friend.....with the pillows she lent me for my party.....that's her fiancee there....gosh everyone is getting so old and married!!!

Me and me housemates...thanks for helping clean and wash up...!!



Hubby dearest flirting with my mom on MSN...how dare they right? Anyway...something to do with some secret emotional meeting of the minds across the ocean....watch out dad!!! *wink*

Anyway, thanks everyone for coming and those who weren't....trust me we missed you so much and regret that you couldn't join us....and sorry we left no food for you to taste.....Vini lapped up everything...something about not eating lamb since forever cuz ex-vegetarian fiancee can't stand bones......

Love you all...and thank you for all the gazillion SMSes that made my day.....
