[with family] Birthday Celebration 2023

My birthday fell on the third day of CNY and also a public holiday, so therefore it was a 'gai-gai' day for me!

We had an afternoon tea at The Courtyard, The Fullerton Hotel for my birthday celebration. We spent quality time over our afternoon tea by sharing with each other on our travel plans to Japan in conjunction to celebrate our wedding anniversary. 

They have a wide selection of tea by TWG and coffee by Bacha.


Check out the quaint miniature confectionaries that had a CNY theme, and they certainly got my attention!!



No high tea set or buffet is ever complete without scones! They always nail it well, and their scones are so delicious and perfect. They are warm and fluffy, and these golden pastries come with a crispy , glazed top layer. Each bite of the buttery scone melted nicely in my mouth. They are truly the ultimate teatime treat.



Thanks for the kind arrangement by The Fullerton Hotel, as they prepared a birthday cake for me!


I took some photos before leaving the hotel premises. Thanks for everything, Baby, love you muaks!

This year, my birthday happened to fall on the same week as CNY! To me, I value the Chinese Traditions but I also had a craving for crabs! Baby decided to bring me  to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant for our dinner celebration!

We visited the branch at the East Coast Park. As Baby is a member of Jumbo Seafood, he received a complimentary Yu Sheng!

'Lo Hei' is a tradition during the CNY period that is believed to bring good luck and prosperity for the whole year. We will never miss out on this, especially since Baby loves this dish very much!

We specially ordered the Fried Noodles in Hong Kong Style, as we Chinese believe eating noodles on your birthday signifies longevity.


For our main dish of Chilli Crab, we ordered some Fried Mantou to go along with the delicious gravy. If you have high expectations for seafood, then Jumbo Seafood is the perfect place for you to try it out! We had a great Crab Feast and of course a great birthday celebration for me!


The eve of my birthday was also the second day of CNY, so my brother and his family as well as our parents went to Tampines Mall for dinner.

 We settled our meal at Aburi-En, and we were glad that my folks enjoyed their meals too!





Thanks brother for getting the cakes from Starbucks, and thanks everyone for making time for a simple gathering to celebrate my birthday!

I end my post with a birthday gift from N, and 开工红包 from my bosses!

Preview screening of Planes

Image
 Thanks Claressa for asking me along to join her for the preview screening of Planes at GV VivoCity.   --- Posters of Planes ---         I was thinking to myself during the show, has PIXAR run out of ideas to make a movie? This movie has all the hallmarks of a standard PIXAR movie, such as Cars/Wall-E/Toy Story, with the looks and graphics being the same.     The movie, Planes is a carbon copy of 'Cars' with both the films logo being similar. Oh well, seems like a rip off to me!       The film focuses on Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), an ambitious crop-dusting plane that predictably spends his days flying over tall grass spraying fertilizer. His dream is to become a racing plane, soaring high and racing around the world.   Though he is built not for flying this capacity but his biggest drawback is that he is afraid of height, as he gets used to flying at low heights.   Skipper Riley (voiced by Stacy Keach) i

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products.
