dinner at bigO with the og (pictured here are me, cel and bean). Where they celebrated my bday and i shared a slice of their Gspot cake with cel (which was seriously good btw)! Was super amused because marcus drove me to town in his fabulous SLK, and took me on a wild goose chase to paragon to look for a place to eat. he was very convincing, i really believed him that celene was stuck in traffic somewhere and the rest hadnt arrived in town yet. all this time, the rest were at borders frantically choosing a bday gift for me. so immensely sweet. im really very touched guys.

anw, they passed me this super heavy package wrapped in pretty pink butterfly paper, and somehow led me to believe that they got me m2 textbooks for my bday. haha. and joshua and marcus were so adamant that i had to mug these books really hard and like get into Dean's list next yr (yeah right guys...)

but when i got home, i realised that my sweet friends had gotten me 2 humongous recipebooks! yay! thanks guys =) i really had alot of fun reading it, and i'll def be trying recipes from here!

they neednt have worried, because marcus and zhenzhen appeared at my house at about 10pm later that night, wanting to bake. so we chose a recipe from the new cookbooks, and improvised somewhat, because i didnt have cream at home. We made chocolate swiss rolls with strawberry jam/marmalade. The cake turned out really nicely, and we had a wonderful supper eating about half of the entire log! guys u must must come over again to bake, and we must try some of the level3 recipes this time!

here's a closer shot of our swiss roll =)

and me and my darling at lunch today, where he treated me to dimsum =) whee!

and seriously interesting chopstick holders on the tables.
