My dearest boy birthday surprise

29th October was my dearest boyfriend, Lionel Lee, big day. Due to his coming papers, we have decided not to spend too much time on the birthday celebration. Hence, it became a hush hush birthday celebration where there's just 2 of us. I wanted to actually bring him out of Singapore but knowing how important exam is to him, I decided to forgo the thought of it.

It was reallll....y hard to plan for so a small yet meaningful and unforgettable birthday celebration. Money is not an issue but TIMING IS! Hence, I told him that we will have crab noodle from Uncle Leong instead since it was pretty long ago since we had crabs from very nice restaurants.


We went to the Punggol branch since we believe that the ambience will be better beside a park. We chose an outdoor sitting to enjoy the breeze of the after rain. We went there about 6pm on a Friday evening and was quite pleased that there was no queue.

We check on the menus and as usual, we order the dishes without knowing their prices cause they are not stated even for vegetables dishes. Excited to know what we have ordered?
1. The Fried Tofu

2. 3 different types of eggs Spinach (4 stars)

3. The famous CRAB NOODLE (5 stars)

4. The must order crab (Jin Sha Nai You Crab)

The total number dishes we have ordered for just the 2 of us

I think we are really CRAZY when we saw all the dishes arrived. People around us must have thought that we have not been eating well for the past 3 days. We tried to finish up EVERYTHING but we just couldn't store anymore food into our tummy for the MUST-ORDER Jin Sha Nai You crab and so, we got it packed for mummy instead. Mummy finished up the whole crab all by herself and kept praising that the crab is really good. :)

Darling went back to study after 2 hrs of dinner while I started sending my dedication to Yazmin on Class 95fm via the radio website. Mummy hide the small cake in the refrigerator where darling will least search it. :)

@11.58pm - I acted very busy running around the house to pack some stuff just so that he doesn't find something is amiss. I got the 2 slices of very delicious cake out ( it's 2 slices cause I believe that we will be very full after a good dinner at uncle Leongs and the 2 slices should be enough to feed Mummy, the bf and myself) and stick a candle on it. I was searching in vain for a lighter in my house but all I could find were MATCHSTICKS and so I tried to strike with the least sound I could do. Finally.. 12am came!

@ 12am (29 oct) - I sang a Happy Birthday song to him and the dedication was played after that. Mission accomplished!! He was very surprised and happy as well. However, he was too full to have even a pinch of chocolate. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLING!!!

Movie Preview: Tower Heist

In this movie preview, I brought a colleague along to watch it with me. It had been eons since I had last watch a movie with a girl friend and when I found out that I had gotten myself 2 tickets from OMY, I knew I had to whatsapp her about it.

Before I share with you guys on my reviews about the show, here's a little synopsis about Tower Heist.
Tower Heist is a 2011 crime comedy film directed by Brett Ratner and written by Ted Griffin and Jeff NAthanson based on a story by Bill Collage, Adam Cooper and Griffin. Main lead actors are of course... Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. This show is about how the employees of an exclusive apartment building who lose their pensions in the Ponzi scheme of Wall Street businessman Arthur Shaw steal back their money with the help of an experienced criminal theft (Eddie Murphy).


Pre thoughts about the movie
When I first knew that I had got 2 tickets to the movie, I was really very excited. I must admit that I knew NOTHING about the movie even before entering the movie theatre but the thought about seeing Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy just excites me. Tuesday was a really stressed up day to end with especially when my head was thinking of solutions and solutions for the whole of TUESDAY! I met up with Rika at 6.30pm after sending one last important email. She was asking me if there was an issue at work and I told her immediately that Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller better make my day end with a good laughing moments. Eddie Murphy have been my one of my favorite comedian since Big Momma and Nutty professor days. He's just a really very talented guy. Rika and I got a popcorn set to enjoy the movie on our Tuesday Night.

Post thoughts about the movie
I pretty like the storyline of the movie. It shows how 4 noobs have to make their way through a high security building and steal  $20M out from the safe only to find out that the $20m was made of GOLD to build a CAR instead. The story in the beginning was a little too serious for the 2 comedians but I had a great laughing moments towards the end where they had to transport the big and heavy car out from a high level. It was reallly hilarious.



Even though the movie did really make my day end with a good laughter to forget the stress I had at work, I do think that this movie also did gave me some disappointments as it is not as funny as I really expect it to be.

Loudness of my laughter: 2/5

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank omy.sg for the tickets! :)
