Once again, the long-time friends of 14 years gathered and chit-chat over good food as they celebrated the last Big 3 of the year. And it was mine!
We chilled out at Medz, a mid-range restaurant with an open-market concept similar to Marche, selling Mediterranean cuisine that includes signature dishes from countries such as Greek and Turkey.
I have lesser candles on my birthday cake now yet the light of hope hidden in the back of my head is getting bigger.
Toast to Big 3!

AFTER an eventful and hectic November, this month proves to be as exciting, but definitely in a much pleasant way.
First on the list, I am finally joining the others in Club 30. To be honest, there wasn't any reluctance in me as I welcome this brand new chapter in my life. In fact, I am looking forward to see if life really starts at 30. :)
民以食为天. No celebration could be considered as complete without good food. This year, good food took place at Lawry's, where we were drowned in dreamy dimmed-light ambience, chambermaids who fussed over us and making sure we were always taken care of, luxury details such as a chilled fork for a chilled salad and divine delicacies that cost a bomb (or maybe a grenade) and yet had us thinking when could be the next visit again.
With Lawry kick-starting my entry into Club 30, I'm starting to believe that, life, may really starts at 30.

打从去年，我就想做一个生日蛋糕给大肚扬。但对几乎没有什么厨艺的我，又谈何容易。
今年很幸运，发觉友人Peiying喜好烘焙，蛋糕做得卖相超好。因此，要求她收我一日为徒，教我做个像样的蛋糕。
材料买齐了，开始啰！巧克力Cheese cake 。。
先压碎饼干，做蛋糕的底层
将Cheese、糖等材料倒入搅拌器 。。
有朋友在旁指导，果然容易得多！铺上保鲜纸，我便可以‘护送’它回家。。
冷冻一天后，就完成了！
我肯定这Cheese 蛋糕对旁人而言，只是再普通不过的蛋糕。但对我，这是附加了心意与努力，经历长途跋涉而成的蛋糕。我觉得它超赞的！
特别感谢Peiying借出厨房与用具，耐心教我这烹饪白痴。
最后一曲已吃进肚子里，我至今还回味无穷。

Enough stress from the video. It's time to play!
It was always during my birthday that we had staycation at hotels, I thought it will be great to have it during hubby's turn this time round.
Chanced upon Quincy Hotel during my search for a good chill-out place, I was immediately intrigued by its modern outlook, classy suites and all-inclusive concept that keeps us well-fed and entertained with activities like baking classes and movie nights.
So we booked! A thoughtful me gave Hubby a surprise within surprise, with the obvious surprise being the short getaway stay and the surprise underneath being I don't intend to pay. Alright, I could do with a bit of subsidizing.

The stay at Quincy was splendid and I 'like' it on Facebook even before the stay. To know how good Quincy is, read my official review about it in English or Chinese at Lexuanwang.
Meanwhile, I will babble on with more personal stuff here.

Bearing through the infamous sunny rain that I thought can only happen in Singapore, we reached Quincy with wet, muddy toes, but unexpectedly, that didn't dampen our mood.
When I said all-inclusive, I really meant ALL-INCLUSIVE, which mean even minibar are complimentary. Unlike some hotels who make it a point to charge us for even a bottle of water (I don't care if it is evian), Quincy makes sure we remain hydrated in this hot weather. I could get thirsty quite often, and I appreciated for the 7 bottles of water in our room. Free.
After exploring the hotel's facilities, we believed it was wise to throw away the initial plan of going out and enjoyed the luxurious privacy the hotel could offer. So, we hit the pool! It was a rare chance to enjoy not just the pool, but even the sauna and steam room all to ourselves, until a lonely traveller came along. Aha!
Dinner soon came and we indulged in some creamy pasta and chicken fillet that was really hard.
We were about to leave when the Quincy team surprised us with a tiramisu birthday cake and a hand-written card for Hubby. On top of that, a lovely birthday song which was joined halfway by a group of spontaneous Caucasians. How sweet!
9pm and it was time for movie night. I didn't enjoy the movie as much, but it was really the combination of the sweet aroma from the popcorns and the occasional mild thunder in the background that almost lured me into a deep, peaceful sleep.
Good time passed just a bit too fast and it was lunch on the next day. Before checking out, we stuffed ourselves with generous portions of Nasi Goreng with hidden ikan bilis.
Quincy, I will see you soon again for my share of tiramisu and birthday song. Till then!

MERRY Christmas!
Back in Chapter 116, I ever mentioned about receiving two good news in a day. One is about my new job. The other, I decided to keep it low until the right time.
And now is it. The latest Glow magazine is out!
Turn to page 40, and there we are. The sneaky girl's guide to Make Over Your Man!
Being one of the two lucky couples who were selected to be featured in the Glow Magazine, we went for the photoshoot back in November. Since then, we had been looking forward for the January issue to be published.
And here it is. Our virgin experience to be featured in a magazine. :) and it was indeed fun!
*Glow magazine is now available at major Watsons stores and news stands.

To celebrate the last of our twenties, my jc mates had came up with interesting themes for their birthdays. There was Ying's blue Doraemon theme, Pheng's green and yellow earth-loving theme, and Hui and Dar's music cafe theme.
Queuing at the last of the list, i decided to celebrate our pink of health with a pink party! And to complement such a sweet colour, we gathered at an equally sweet place, Tea Cosy @ PS. And of course, we had to dress in pink!
Not only me and hubby in pink, but all of us!
The food came as we were busy glowing in pink. We digged into the appetizers, soups and mains, as we celebrated our hearty appetite.
This electronic pepper grinder that seemed to double as a torch light amused us quite a lot as we kept snapping away and saying "more pepper please!".
Then it was another sweet surprise that made us went "wow" and our camera batteries' life shorter. 9 very pretty and tempting cupcakes in various designs and topping! Even the plates were as appealing.
A must-have group photo in every gathering. Pink!
We went on to capture a still memory with our chosen cupcakes and plates before they were completely digested by us.
The evening ended with a sweet note as we gathered to celebrate our pink of health, to all, to us.
