My 17th Birthday (Part 1)

Hi ya all! Hadn't been updating cause I was busy with school! Anyway I had my 17th birthday on 21st October and I had a few celebrations which I'm going to share with you guys! I will be splitting this blogpost into 2 parts because it will be too long!

The first celebration was on 19th October,a Saturday. My friends and I actually planned a birthday surprise for Yunxuan because her birthday falls on the 17th!So we decided to go to JianXing's house to eat pineapple rice (as an excuse.)But ends up PuayLin and JianXing surprised me and Yinghui too cause our birthdays are coming soon!

'' Happy Birthday... to yunxuan. Happy Birthday to you!'' ''And then they brought out another cake from the kitchen!

So here's a family like portrait. Left to right: (PuayLin,JianXing,Yinghui,Yunxuan and me) They are actually my lower sec classmates and Yinghui is Yunxuan's older sister! She also used to be my cousin's ex secondary school classmate!

3 pufflefishs blowing out candles!

Here's a close up view of the hazelnut cake! I didn't have it because I was kind of full from the pineapple rice and the oreo cheesecake!

 

Oreo cheesecake! This is really yummy to me as there's a crunchy cookie like layer at the end of the cake! The cheesecake just practically melts in your mouth and it just tasted perfect. 

I swear this JianXing is SUPER EVIL. He suddenly requested to take a photo with me and I agreed without hesitation. Turns out I HAD CHOCOLATE ALL OVER MY TEETH. It's too unglam to be posted here LOLOLOL.

Here's a picture with POH. :))

After that,I went off early to meet Jiawen for a short catch up session at Northpoint.

20 October(Pre birthday eve)

Met up with Nadia,Monica and Priya because they've booked me for a cafe date during the holidays! It was also a Sunday.

I've met up with Priya first because Monica and Nadia went to Group Therapy to book seats first!

 Here's a camho shot of Priya and me on the way to Group Therapy.

The one with the super bright smile and in maroon cardigan is Nadia! Behind her the girl with curly long hair is Monica. That's me opposite Monica and the one in a sophisticated updo and red lipstick is Priya! ^^

I had grilled ham and cheese panini! The salad tasted really good! I don't really eat vegetables most of the times but it was so delicious due to the fact they added sprinkled peanuts(kind of reminded me of rojak) and the sauce was a really perfect combination with the vegetables! The chips were so-so but I think I definitely prefer Mr Pringles chips HAHAHA. A bit bland and dry. I don't really like to have chips to go with proper food. The panini is like pancakes with fillings inside. There's mushrooms and ham! And also this weird veggie(not really veggie,like this leaf spice thingy which i don't know what it actually is) inside the panini which spoils the panini but the taste is bearable. I liked this meal but I don't like it enough to go back for this particular dish again.

Nadia ordered buttermilk waffles and Priya ordered chilli crab pie and Monica ordered steak pie. Monica was moaning about how she didn't like her pie but it tasted really good to all of us. I should have ordered her pie and she should have ordered my panini LOL.

Wanted to get the menu and more plain water and then Monica and Nadia went to get them. Turns out they bought a birthday cake for me!

Here is me looking very delirious with my birthday cake.

 

The traditional pose with food. 

 Made a wish and *blows*. 

It's my first time having carrot cake,not the chinese cai tau kuey but proper carrot cake! There's cheese cream on it too! Although the four of us share this slice of cake,we couldn't finish it because we were too full from our meals! :( 

A Causasian offered to help us take this! He saw Nadia taking for the three of us and just rendered his help! Really nice of him. Anyway it's like mixed ethnicity. Monica is half korean and I'm pure Singaporean and Priya used to be Australian and Nadia is chinese-malay(sort of). It's so cool how all of us are so different yet we can get along so well! They're my poly classmates from Nanyang Polytechnic! 

Here's a shot of Nad and me! Nad is the only one who calls me Zhil LOLOLOL. Pretty unique nickname if you ask me. All of them wore dresses that day! I should have worn a dress but I wanted to wear my new floral shorts. -_- 

As you guys have already seen the story on Instagram or Facebook,you might already know the epic story behind this photo. Around 8plus that night,I received a phone call from Jiawen and she told me to look outside my door. She told me she was standing outside. I ran out excitedly but I didn't see anyone or anything. I called her back and told her that. I thought she was just kidding and giving a birthday prank! ''I left a cake and a book on your shoerack! Don't have meh?'' ''Eh no leh. I'm serious.'' ''你不是住七楼meh?'' ''eh 不是啦！十楼!" ''omg faster run I left your cake and book there!!'' I laughed and ran to the 7th floor,finding a slice of birthday cake and a book on a stranger's shoerack! It's seriously so epic because Jiawen has been to my house so many times and she still can't remember the colour of my door. LOL I LAUGHED so hard that night. 

Didn't sleep well that night because I was a glutton and I finished the entire cake for fear that it will spoil by the next day and I only slept at 3am. -_- Suffered from indigestion.. 

I will update about the actual birthday and other celebrations soon and thanks for reading! :-)
