Sorry for the late post for my birthday updates but wanted to upload it yesterday but relatives were over at my place so I was playing Taboo with my cousins. I got the Taboo game from Ivan as my birthday present. Yippee! It's just so fun. I've played Taboo game in Sec 2 at oneof the church retreats but the games I've played so far are the American versions. The recent one released was the Singapore version which is better cause it'd be much easier.

Anyway back to my birthday, I celebrated my 24th birthday with Ivan and Andrew. Ivan's my long time good friend cum buddy. Andrew was his friend whom I also knew thru him. His brithday falls on 3rd March so might as well celebrate together. Ivan gave him a dinner treat. I received a morning surprise in my office. Andrew dropped by my office and gave me my birthday present. It was a Perlini's Silver necklace which prob costs more than $40 and a blank greeting card was in it with a long letter inserted in it. Since it is a long letter, I shall not talk abt the contents in it. But I still dun get the part why he must give me an empty greeting card without any words in it. Anyway, we went to The Glass House for dinner. The ambience there is always great. I did not even know there is a live band now. The upper level is closed as the restaurant is not that packed. So we sat at the table near the bar counter. There was another person's birthday sitting beside our table as I can see the presents and stuff toy. I took some photos of the atmosphere there so as to do a write-up review of the restaurant. I realised after taking the photos, I had forgotten to take the most impt thing - the food! Argh...Anyway, my birthday that night was an unforgettable one. I was famous twice that night...

I saw the balloons behind the bar counter and thought the green colour was nice. So I merely just jokingly said I want the green colour balloon. I never would have thought Ivan really asked the waitress for it so he mentioned that it was my birthday today. They said there will be a free ice-cream for the birthday month people so we requested two since it's Andrew's birthday on Sat. So I shared the Seafood Platter for 2 with Ivan while Andrew ordered the BIg Catch and Caesar's Salad. We changed the mussels to more fried calamari. After our meal, we requested for our ice-cream to be served and when I saw the ice-cream had a candle on it and a few waitresses were walking to our table, I knew that my predictions are true. A friend once told me that Fish N Co will sing loud birthday song and make u do things in front of the whole restaurant, I just did not expect this would come true for me. That is why I had told them from the start not to mention my birthday to the restaurant. They asked Andrew's and my name and made us stand on top of the chair. They gave us a lighted sparkler and started clapping and singing birthday rap. Everyone in the restaurant including the other patrons clapped together as their voices were loud.

After that, the band came back from rest and Andrew sent in a dedication. Both of them were doing sign languages in which I could not decipher what they were saying. In the end, Andrew requested to sing on stage. And he mentioned to dedicate the song to me and Ivan and once again I was famous. He sang Richard Marx's Right Here Waiting. Ivan and I actually took down his singing on video on my digital camera but without his consent, I shall not upload it here. (Very pro now eh?) Anyway, the band soloist sang a birthday song to me again afterwards. After we left the Glass HOuse, we went over to Paradiz Centre's KBox and we started singing from 9.30pm to 2.30am. Recorded a few videos too including myself...I was too shagged and tired that I fell asleep in Ivan's car on the way home...


Took photos of my gifts...

Fish & Co@The Glass House
I love the ambience there because of the people there are very friendly and never noticed the bar counter till that day. The decor of the bottles really enhances the layout of the Glass House well. Gotta give thumbs up for the only Fish & Co which has the one and only Live Band Performance there which allows song dedications and all. The food there are rather fresh too. I remember the very first time I went to eat at Fish & Co was at Suntec City and the dish I ordered was Fish N Chips. The fish wasn't very fresh and it wasn't cooked very well as expected of a Fish N Chips. I still decided to give another second try when I ordered the Seafood Platter. I love the calamari there. That was the time where I learnt that Calamari are sotong. A Seafood Platter for 2 costs around $38 which can then include another additional $5.50 to add a complete meal which consists of a choice of Kola Gin Soda or Passion Fruit as drink and a Soup of the Day. After settling the bill, don't forget the free complimentary mint sweets which looks like moth balls to me.
