Woke up at 0545 hours in the morning cause it was my brother's (Jon) Passing Out Parade (POP) at the Marina Floating Platform. Had to be there by 0700 hours to get a good seat. The view was great (it was the first time on the platform), the only horrible part was the sun shining down on the left side of my face. The whole parade was neat, tidy and simple. It was good. Defintely a hell lot better than my POP at HTA which was cocked up to the max! 3 boys did faint in the middle of the parade while the guest-of-honor was giving his speech (perfect timing). As usual a lot of excited parents, what is new right?
After I sent my parents and my brother home (Lucky him, still get to fly off to Phuket on that very same day whilst my Krabi trip which is around the same time got cancelled). Had to rush off to the National Library to finish up Elaine's law project. Yes one of the ways I earn extra income is by helping other people do their projects at a much cheaper than market rate with grades averaging A's or B's. Any project ranging from law to shipping to business to humanities, you name it I can handle it. I am that good, yes I know.
Anyways, after a couple of hours in the National Library, had to then rush back home to change for my secondary school friend's Kenneth 24th Birthday! We caught a movie first at The Cathay ("Limitless" starring Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro and Abbie Cornish) [Movie reviews next post]. Then came the tricky part of the evening.... Kenneth wants to "sabo" Linda since her birthday day is only a week away whilst Linda is secretly buying a birthday cake for Kenneth. So me and Ian decided we would just surprise them both back with a cake of their own. They never saw it coming.
Anyways dinner was at Relish at Serene Center along Bukit Timah Road (Cluny Park). The food was AWESOME! Cooked deliciously and savory. I ordered the Tiger Prawn Pasta (OK I can't remember the full name cause it was really long) and they aren't shy with the prawns. Had like 5 or 6 in the pasta. The portions are not as small as I thought it would be and it is quite filling. The place had a very dark, cosy ambience, kind of like a little eatery tucked in a corner away from the noise of the world. Price as expected not very cheap but reasonable. Like my spaghetti was $17.50. The service crew are friendly and really professional (I say that because they are all young, so its worth a shout out). Overall had a really great time over great food with great company (these are my oldest friends since our secondary 1 days!). And the rest had a good time poking fun at the "Am-Chio" guy saying he likes me. WHATEVER! 2 Birthday Cakes (wholly not slice) later...
P.S. here's Relish's website, part of Wild Rocket http://www.wildrocket.com.sg/relish.htm
.... Ended the night at one of the best chill out places in Singapore, Timbre Substation where the very awesome Goodfellas were on. Knocked back some beer and chilled out to the music. Of course Linda had one more surprise up her sleeve as the clock striked midnight, she texted a message onto the plasma TV at Timbre saying "Happy 24th Birthday Keeennnnnneeerrrddd", the Goodfellas read it out and poked fun a little. But it was all in good fun. Had a blast.
Left the place at about 0100 hours and after sending everyone home, went straight down to finishing Elaine's project (after some hard disk crashing again) and by the time that happened, it was 0500 hours.
Nonetheless it was a pretty awesome day, and the year is just getting started! :)
Once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNETH AND LINDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
