Has it really come to this? That I have to take the car out to the club, just so I have no choice but NOT to drink.

I had 3 really good dinners for my birthday last week. Homecooked, authentic Korean, and American Club food. Triple yumms!
When I told Lana I wanted her to cook Spanish food for me, I was joking, I did not expect her to really carry it out. But she did and it was superbly delicious.
Tuesday ...
Recipes ...
White sangria with Riesling as base ... Got drunk on this by myself a coupla nights, she made so much! But it tasted even better as the days passed and the fruits soaked longer.
Stuffed tomatoes with egg mayo. *slurps*
Spanish Ham Croquettes, this tasted like it was bought from a restaurant or something. Wonderful. I ate 3 of this!
There was another dish, Pollo en Salsa which we didn't manage to take pictures of cos we wolfed it down pretty quickly. I really liked that dinner.
Wednesday ... Dinner with family at a Korean restaurant in Shenton Way, very good service and nice ambience, lotsa food too. Stuffed ourselves to the brim. Had delicious chocolate truffle cake at the end to top off the birthday dinner. Way too full, but it didn't stop me from having my free flow alcohol that night. One too many whiskeys, and two too many cosmopolitans. :P
Friday ... Barry spoiled my surprise by calling me and telling me that he and Lesley will be in town around 7.30pm. After realising he might have made a major booboo as I sounded like I didn't know anything about it, he tried to change the subject. Too bad, too late! Haha. Anyway, kinda knew we would be eating at The American Club, really love the food there. But once we walked past the restaurant I knew we were heading for the bowling alley. True enough, Les, Barry, Trina, Ems, Lana and her mommy booked 2 lanes for us and we ordered main courses too. We bowled a total of 4 games each, and that's the most I've ever bowled at a time! It was a very fun night and I enjoyed myself tremendously. We ended the night by heading to Arena, got a lil buzzed and I think we had Macdonald's at 3am if my memory doesn't fail me.
Oh, we had some themed bowling night too, a hat night. Mine gave me a headache so I took it off, hehe.
After all that partying and pigging out for the past 2 weeks, my body finally caved in and I fell sick. En route to recovery now!

I had my first ever birthday surprise today! But let's rewind to last Wednesday first, I feel so knackered out because it's been no rest since then. Just so many things going on and on, so many places to go. This could be my longest post ever, proceed with caution. :)
It all started with Wednesday night ... Ladies' night, free entry and free flow for the girls at most clubs. What do we do? Just only something very natural, heh. So Yan Ling and I decided we were definitely going to leave at 1am (she had to work the next day, I had to send my parents to the airport at 6am). I dunno how, but we actually went to another club to party some more and 1am morphed into 3.30am! I was a tad too intoxicated even after a shower, I wrote my parents a note and they had to cab to the airport.
Thursday ... Woke up feeling awful and still reeking of alcohol. But I had to run around to look for my father's birthday present. Went to pick Alana up, then went to Ikea in Tampines for a late lunch where I bumped into a primary school teacher of mine, after which we hunted around in Ikea and Courts to no avail. Went to V.Hive in Eastpoint and I found what I was looking for, but wasn't too pleased so decided to try out The Furniture Mall. Rushed there after the ERP surcharge (yes I am a cheapo) and was so confused with the building layout, walked around levels after levels, shops after shops, but I didn't find it. Later, we headed to Wala Wala's to meet up with Wendy. After sending them home, I was soooooo sleepy.
Friday ... Had to go into work early for a 3 hour product launch. Boring. Had a small window of time in between that and my physiotherapy session, so I squeezed in a 20-lap swim and an hour in the gym. After physio, I had to change and head out to Clarke Quay to meet Mel, Barry, Lana and Les. Checked out Crazy Elephant and went to party with Trina for a bit at Forbidden City after. Then I had a really bad case of gastritis which lasted a full 3hours! That was bad, I couldn't walk properly and I couldn't stomach anything. A good thing Lana took care of me, phew.
Saturday ... Got woken up by Lana and Trina at 11.30am, they had just finished their pilates session and were ready to go for lunch. Dragged myself out of bed, washed up and went downstairs. Headed to the Prata House and saw Zoe Tay and her hubby. Her eyes are huge, and she's so slim. *envy* Went back to Lana's while Trina went back to shower and change before picking us up and dropping me off in the East while she went to the hospital. Later, we had dinner at my house as my dear Aunty Yati cooked so much food! And she had laid out our placemats, we didn't have the heart to say no. So we left for KM8 about 7-ish, and we took 1.5 hours to get there. First there was a massive jam from the Keppel Road exit into Sentosa, second we could not find that bloody place - lack of proper lighting and lack of proper signs! After the fire twirling event, we actually headed to MOS to hit it up with Eunice, Thomas and Yan Ling. Bypassed the ridiculously long queue spilling onto the main road, and got in free with more free drinks. Now, my butt was glued to the stool most of the night. Crashed at 4am.
Sunday ... 10.30am - Woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Was very grumpy for an hour. Poor Lana got the brunt of it. Trina came to pick us, and I thought she was going to the hospital again that's why we ate in Downtown East. Suddenly, halfway through my pizza, Lesley, Barry and Ems pop out from nowhere and surprised me! So we eat and talk and eat some more, then Les brings out a very yummy chocolate cake. I forced them not to sing, but to WHISPER the birthday song. However, all of them could not hear each other and were singing in their own tempo, very 'sala' ... So they rectified that problem by trying again, this time they did it in a cannon. Cute.
With lunch finished, they started walking off, and I had no choice but to follow, we ended up at Escape Theme Park. Haha, made a beeline for the Go Karts and queued for an awful long time before it was our turns. Fun, but a bumpy ride that had us all making our way to the toilets after. Next, we embarked on the only roller-coaster ride there, which was a kid's ride I'm sure. Very tiny ride, but it was surprisingly quite fast and fun! Then we decided to take the water log ride, and that got us sooo drenched, from head to toe, clothes all soaked. I liked the big drop! (See pictures above) But not too keen on the dirty water that made me wet. Heard Lana and Trina screaming their lungs out on the plunge, and Les started screaming the whole climb up, and down! ... Then Les suggested taking the Viking, "The wind can dry our clothes faster", she says, to much regret. Our dear friend felt so sick after that she had to puke before getting into the car. That'll most certainly be her first and last time on the Viking. Thank you so much guys! Love you all to bits.
Home sweet home. Had dinner at home, but parents also bought back Kok Kee kolo mee from Lavender Street Market ... Yumms! Basically I had 2 dinners, sigh, calories calories calories. Fell asleep while watching CSI : Miami, kinda like a power nap. Made me feel a bit rested, then I sent my cousin and Lana home.
Here I am, going to crash. Shall be anticipating this coming Wednesday, more partying to ensue. My friends are either taking Thursday off or going in late, ha, I can't wait.
Over and out, and asleep.
