“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”

Saying thanks and counting my blessings every single day of my life. I am glad, I've been practising it and now I am proud to say, you reap all you sow.

TGIF started off well. Dinner was set at 8pm @ CMPB situated at Dempsey Hill. 

I really love the outdoor Alfresco dining but wouldn't mind having indoor either cause of the liveband!
I am def making another trip bck to try more of their other food items on the menu!

For the bestest friend of 15yrs and going, a blessed Happy Birthday to you. May all that you wish upon comes true.

Whats Friday night without a good drink? 

For him: Sparkling Mojito
For me: Kronerburg Blanc (can never live without beerrrrr)

The only downside of outdoor dining is the lightings were rather dim and hence the photos looks really flashy here. But nonethless, I think the food and company made up for it totally!

On the table:
-Parmasean Truffle Fries
-Beef and Pork Sausage Meatballs
-CMPB Burger



Meantime when he went to the loo, I had to grab the opport to order a cake for him.



Wonder why his pose was so funny! But then I am so glad he was totally caught off guard!
Happy Birthday, Mon!

Not a bad shot by the waitress. I think their service is really good. Def wor going for th food, ambience, company and service!

Never did he know that there was a part ll of his birthday surprise all planned out 2weeks ago via a 69 grp chat for him. I brought him to Mandarin Gallery, Bar on Five. The initial lie to cover up was that I needed to collect mooncakes from my "merchant". I even had KC to call me up to make the story looks deceiving enough. True enough, my bff is always a sotong who totally fell for it.

The people whom he had wanted to all be there with him to celeb this special joyous occassion together were there :)
Nonetheless, I had to thank each of them for being sportaneous enough to play a good role in making this surprise party a HUGE success!

We opened 3bottles of alcohol and there we started the party!

Partied till 2am, the raining was pouring and howling the whole night but that didnt spoil any fun!



Good Saturday morning, waking up to fav Hum Ji Peng, Ya Kun Coffee and IKEA catalogue for 2014!

What a peaceful morning to be having breakfast in comfort.

Had to meet the girls up @ 12pm for baking! Hurried over to wash up and off I went.
So glad and thankful we had fun baking and cleaning up!

The cake pop was the hardest to master. Even though it was a first time attempt but I am quite glad we managed to do up the cake mixture well! More to go!

Mini Cupcake and Wine session thereafter with the girls. So thankful to have their companionship and friendship tgt,sharing, gossiping, laughing and just spending girly times tgt. I love simple weekends like that. As we don't meetup every week, thats why I treasure such a bond even more.

My handmade gift for the bestfriend this year. Something to remind him of who he is and to walk on further in life with good faith. Thats what friends are for; they know when they shld be there :)

The start of Sept wasn't a great beginning. I met some probs at work and was given a "punishment" to make me see how grave the consequences were. I learnt it hard and well. It caused me a day of being really at my down time. That same day, I broke down badly, both alone and infront of G. but I was glad, I did it. It allowed me to let my emotions run for a period of time. Aft that, I wrote a note of apology to my boss and decided I shld end the day off with a good workout. It did made me feel th emotions off abit. And I caught a warm shower and an early sleep that night. I knew I was still feeling slightly sore the next few days but I had told myself that this is human nature and hence I will move on frm here soon which I did. I believe to be able to be given another opport again, I need to prove I am worth the trust and ability to do so. Next week will be my new beginning at work. Starting off with meal preps for lunch and working hard at work, gym and a new path which I am intending to take on. We shall see how things will work out to be for me.

With that said,
Goodnights :)

Love,
Rachh
