Sylvia's World...

Well well... during CNY eve i went to sentosa with TFB to look at the Garden Fest thingy... so after the whole trip.. we were pretty sweaty already... However, due to last min change of dress for CNY first day, I had to shop in Vivo City for a pair of BIG earrings....

I so happened to pass by Soo Kee at Vivocity and would like to get my diamond cleaned for CNY... So i walked up to them... There were two sales girls standing at the entrance of Soo Kee, and when i stand in front of them... the first lady (most pro is the more exp staff) just look away without look at me at all and the second lady (should be a relatively new staff) looked at me and looked away then look back at me away... based on their body language, they seems to have no intention of serving or entertaining me at all except for the fact that the new staff was looking at me uninterested..... Until.....

I lifted my finger and show them the diamond ring and said (in a very snobbish tone) i would like to wash my ring... immediately the two women's (esp the older staff) face brighten up with a very very big smile while saying "Oh you want to wash your ring arh"... then immediately they urshered me into the shop, I challenged their snobbish attitude by asking.. "Would you like to see my Soo Kee card?" They immediately said no and the younger girl took my ring promptly and went into the room to wash it... While that older staff saw the opportunity to ty and pitch some sales while i was looking at the wedding rings... And after the younger staff returned my ring to me.. the older staff said in friendly (but quite pretended like how it feels like when somebody pretend to be close to you when they are not) tone.. "I will see you again huh"...

Oh man.. see me again??... yes i need to buy a pair of wedding rings.. but i will never, ever go back to a shop and give money to a snobbish staff who doesnt even want to entertain me in the first place to spend you noe... - -"'

I guess.. this year is the most happy birthday i ever had for a long period of time because birthdays for the past few years except for last year... Last year TFB celebrated my birthday for me at sentosa thus starting the candle heart trend... but last year something happened too at my home resulting in me not really talking to my mum.. if i dun remember wrongly.. heh heh.. but anyway this year birthday due to some unforseen circumstances of the year... she still went ahead to do steamboat for my birthday but then not alot of people came.. so still not that bad..

Birthday celebration started on Saturday for a 'light' tea with smelly ebt at PS Cafe at harding road... Had to say that i was really excited about this because i heard that the environment there is really nice surrounded by greenaries and it really did not fail to disappoint me... the whole environment was casual and relaxed.. just nice for a relaxing and slacky saturday afternoon spend idling and chatting.. As the theme of the day is dress nicely... and i knew that ebt disappointed me time and again when we have this theme.. i decide to dress very nicely so that if she doesnt dress nicely i will smack her on her head... but luckily she did dress nicely too heh heh heh... i ordered a casar salad with grilled chicken and some herbs which is really nice!... then ebt came.. and she ordered like there is no tomorrow.. she ordered a slices of VERY fudgey brownie and fries... the brownie is really fudgey and i told her that if one person finishes this slice of brownie.. most pro the blood will explode from the nose.. and not just flow out... okay very violent graphic.. but the cake is really rich.. very very rich if i am as rich as the cake i think i will be a happy girl.. q=


So we finished the casar salad that i ordered and struggled to finish both the brownie and fries because it is just tooo rich and tooooo much.. so we sit there.. struggle to eat sloooowly loh.. while taking photographs of ourselves and the greeneries... then we decide that it was really too much for the both of us so we foot the bill and walk (*note i was in high heels) from demsey hill alllll the way down to civilization..

Then i proceed to TFB's friend house for CNY celebration and they brought me a lana cake... oh man i had wanted to try a lana cake since long time ago but due to a mixture of laziness and dunno where is the exact location.. i have never gotten the chance to try it.. so imagine not only do i get to try a lana cake... it was my birthday cake!


Then TFB brought me to sentosa the next next day to countdown to midnight for my birthday and to light up the heart candle that he has done with tea candles... and he baked me a cake too! It was really sweet of TFB to try and cook me a meal even though i was luffing at him thru out i am really appreciative of the gesture... but i need to clarify the reason why i was luffing was because he said that he will challenge my mushroom plus tuna plus cheese and do a drier and nicer version but in the end there was veggie salad and fruits salad... BUT i am very appreciative of the efforts okay?.. ^_^ he baked me a heart shape angel cake too.. with chocolate syrup all over it... Then we got a little bored after eating so we decide to take the train out of sentosa since we are islander or highlander as LGD pronounced it... we went around vivo to shop shop a bit... then went back to sentosa again at 11pm.. but as the wind was too strong... we were not able to light up the candle at all.. by then i was tired and a little bit disappointed because i thot that i wun get my heart candle this year..

I told TFB to forget it but he insisted on doing the candles so finally i got two hearts! Even thou it is a bit small and i blew out the candles seconds after it is lighted instead of taking alot of photographs.. i still felt very happy.. ^_^

I had a 'pleasant surprise' the next day because my 'nice' colleagues actually put a BIG notice beside my table informing everybody that it is my birthday and to wish me happy birthday if they see me... and if that is not enuff.. they printed the staff directory together with my photo out for easy recognising... and the wrapped grumpy up as my birthday pressie... and the next pleasant surprise came from my class (i was on course) when they bluff me out of the office then when i went in they had cakes with lighted candles and sang happy birthday song to me.. it was really a surprise and i felt really pai seh because i only knew them for two days and they would organise a birthday surprise for me.. and so i spend the rest of the night 'wii-ing' away with TFB...

It was a nice birthday.. nice, warm and cozy.. ^_^

Oh and i took three days leave after that to slack at home.... Shall update that again.. hehe
