March 15th. Got woken up real early to have breakfast with the family at the KFC where Big Splash used to be.

A few weeks ago, I've finally received the stuff that Pauline sent from USA.
In a box that she had drawn hearts all over of.
So sweet =)
Just gotta love that girl.
My (much-anticipated) iPod Nano Second Generation.
8GBs. Woohoo~
Haven't the time to properly organise every song I have
so it's only got English songs for the time being.
Planet Earth 5 disc DVD box set!
I've still got 3 discs to go
(which equates to 9 hours of documentaries).
Sir David Attenborough is TEH VOICE for nature documentaries.
And the series are just SO GOOD.
It's like watching/learning Geography all over again,
along with natural history.
Something about that combination just sparks the curious scholar (G33K) in me.

I've started work near Suntec, in this building called The Concourse (which I think lacked serious planning when it was first built. To me, it felt more like an office building rather than the shopping mall it had been partially intended for), for an American agricultural MNC with about 140 years of history and blahblahblah.
During the interview, I had the impression that work would be highly stressful but after the first few days spent in the office, PFFT, it's nothing compared to the chaos of my internship company.
Anyway, just two days ago on Thursday, I met up with KY, SL (my L3 partner!) and BH for an early birthday dinner at Kenny Rogers (Marina Square branch).
It's quite a small group, but it's nice to catch up with them, especially since everyone's busy and birthdays are when we take time out to spend together.
Our spread.
Hail the holy Macaroni and Cheese.
Yum.
The Before.
(That thing KY's poking her fork at? Our Pork Pie.)
Tastes just as nice as it looks.
And the After.
I find it truly amusing, BH's messy assortment of chicken bones.
Me passing my camera.
Thus continuing my tradition from last year
of showing a photo of myself without really showing my face.
Hah.
My (really sudden) birthday (cup)cake that KY (secretly) bought.
Was a little miffed at first because she had disappeared for such a long time in the bathroom (presumably) and on top of the fact that she's the friend I've known for the longest time and...
Then she shows up with the cupcake and candles and I just melted.
Shh... don't tell.
I'm not supposed to be so sentimental.
And that's the necklace she gave me,
of which I made a face and, isn't that a tad too "girly" for me?
And she replied, "Isn't that the point?"
And the card they made.
Had fun reading all their messages.
Especially JT's! Gosh, she's as rubbish as ever!
=)

YM and Fabian came over this afternoon
to recreate that chocolate thing I did last month.
YM wrestling with the butter and sugar.
And then realising that they needed to be mixed together.
YM melting the chocolate.
Apparently, not many people know what "folding" is.
Had to stop her from whisking the whole mixture.
Fabian, finally contributing some effort.
A little interlude,
because my mother thought those vessels look like ghost ships
out there in the sea and under the heavy rain.
Back to our baking.
Did some with the choc-raspberry filling
(because my grandmother and those two didn't get to try it before)
and the rest without, because my parents think they taste better that way.
The tee-shirt those two shared to buy for me.
YM remembered my obsession with polo-tees!
Love the graphic on the inside of the shirt.
Love all my friends even more for all the things they've done for me.
=)
