Birthdays come and birthdays go... and in the light of social networks, getting a wall full of birthday greetings has become a norm. So what was the most memorable thing that happened for me this year?
My lovely schoolmates had asked me to join them for an all-you-can-eat steamboat-BBQ buffet at Macalister Rd... and boy did we eat! When we've had our fill - the lovely Vicky brought the birthday cake!! It was a homemade moist chocolate cake and it was really yum!
Lighting the candles was a bit of a challenge and it was funny how we eventually used ourselves to create a wall to block the wind from all the fans around our table. The gals started singing happy birthday and 10 seconds later... the same song was played on the PA system. Everyone in the restaurant started singing and clapping along!
Note: The place is about as big as 2 futsal fields.
OMG!!! Wow!!! Wow~~~~~~~~!!
But soon everyone at my table started to feel somewhat catatonic or maybe even had a want to hide under the table when the song on the PA seems to never end. I swear that it has to be the longest birthday song medley in every possible popular language/dialect ever produced in this part of the world. Awkward... but overall a most memorable experience.
At least, it wasn't like being asked to stand on the table by the crew in TGIF. That would have been a way more embarrassing experience. ^_^
