Lionel and I; the lovely ladies of the HPC; Far blowing her nose as Saf stares at the table... I mean checks out the menu

So on Sunday after church Lionel and I checked out the Museum of Toys - Mint Cafe - before meeting the girls for my birthday dinner. Mint is really a toy museum combined with a cafe at the first level, it's a cool concept and the only one of its kind in Asia. It's at 26 Seah Street, opposite Raffles Hotel, go check it out people! The Museum itself is all right, better with the commentary from the curator, but the thing you should really go for is the cafe. The food is absolutely delicious, and the desserts are decadent... they're just to die for!!!! The topper - book the sofas in advance and stretch out (I mean REALLY stretch out, see Farah's photos! I'll post the photos if I manage to get them from her) while enjoying your coffee and cake. Pure luxury, I tell you.

Food, glorious food!

The HPC's outings are always marked by tons of laughter and this outing was no different. Well, it was different in a way, 'cos we're starting to include guys now. Introducing our two newest 'members'... the Hello Panda Boys!!!!! Comprising Ben, Min's bf, and my very own special someone ;) And what fun we had! I think the guys integrate with the HPC pretty well. We must share the same sense of humour lah, which means an absurd, offbeat kinda kookiness. Yeah! I love how we can just say anything and find it so incredibly hilarious, and start rolling about on the couch with flailing arms, screaming with laughter. Oh my goodness. I always feel like my abs have been through a major workout after every HPC outing, just from laughing the whole time. Like Saf says, we're working out all the fats we're gaining from the sinful desserts. Mmmmmmm the desserts... we had the mudpie and the nutella cake, the chocolate truffle and the mint choc... heaven! I'm so going back for more. And the sofas definitely help, they are so good for relaxing on. It's like therapy, having dessert on those sofas. Whooooo.

See my pretty birthday card!

Front and back. So bright and colourful. Heehee yeah. I think I got such great presents this year! Let's see...

From the girls, a really pretty charm bracelet with dolphins and tiny pink cat's-eyes. Seems the theme for this year is pink. How feminine... we're finally growing up. Heh. And Royal Sporting House vouchers so I can buy funky exercise gear! I'm gonna get my butt in shape, in style! Well not really my butt, I like my butt a lot already... haha... I'm gonna work on my abs, wanna get my cross-country abs back. Whee!


From Nick, I got The Time Traveller's Wife, which is a totally awesome book and made me smile and almost cry (I was too tired to cry at the end of it though, 'cos I'd stayed up really late to finish it, it's that good). I'd post a pic but I already lent it to Lionel haha. Nick also gave me The Dog stickers customised with my name. So cute!

From Greg, I got Wilfred, The Imperfect Teddy. After years of searching for the perfect teddy Greg wisely figured there was no such thing, and got me the opposite instead. Isn't Wilfred adorable???

I also got a new DS game which looks totally awesome... itching to start playing. I have a feeling once I start it'll be pretty hard to stop though. Haha. Oh and Greg wrote me such a wonderful poem. Thanks dear... you know it made me cry. Thanks for the memories.

From my amazing, awesome, incredible siblings... AN MP3 PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool is that? Check it out, it's so pretty. I love my sibs, they're so sweet. I am so incredibly blessed to have them. How many people have younger siblings who spoil them that way? Wow. My bro set it up for me and downloaded lotsa songs so now I can listen to my fave music before I sleep. Nice ;)

Dad gave me tons of money and paid for all our meals at Phuket. And gave his blessing with regards to Lionel =P

My colleagues got me Takashimaya vouchers! I'm so going shopping!!! Gonna get me a bunch of new clothes. I have a craving for pretty dresses and skirts. And pretty accessories. Hairbands, bags, scarves, jewellery, oh and SHOES... More more more! I've been looking for a really nice pair of boots and I've gotta start looking at winterwear too. Wow, guess the vouchers were pretty spot-on haha.


Lionel's little sis Rachel made me a handphone strap and namecards and a sweet birthday card. And she gave me this funny pen with a little doggie perched on the end. Haha. She's so sweet!

And of course Lionel gave me the best present of all... himself ;) Haha no of course not all wrapped up with a big pink bow (the horror!)... no, it just happened so naturally, so beautifully I almost can't believe we're actually finally official.

Lionel took me out for an amazing dinner at Rochester Park on Monday night. We strolled by the restaurants - those fancy-schmancy restaurants - and decided to try Da Paolo's 'cos the architecture of the place was just so gorgeous. And wow, it was just beautiful.

The water feature at Da Paolo. Very soothing.


The food was superb, the wine didn't get me drunk although I think I got a little red, the dessert was heavenly. I love the place!
We took pictures. Heh.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Dinner was delicious!

And at the end of dinner... Lionel asked me to be his girlfriend. No prizes for guessing what my answer was.











We're official! ;)


I'm still reeling.

... Wow ;)
