Just came back from a full day of celebration with des... Wow, another year has passed so quickly! I hate to believe that I have grown one year older! Can you believe it, I am 23 this year! 2 more years to mid 20s and I feel kind of old now...
But what to do? I have to resign to fate and pray that I won't age so quickly and that I will grow healthier, prettier, slimmer and wealthier each year. haha
So, for my birthday this year, it was non-stop eating and roaming around Resort World Sentosa! Even though we have been frequent visitors of RWS, we were still quite satisfied and surprised at how there were still things not explored yet.
The day started early with us going to Vivo for dim sum breakfast. Dim sum was at Food Republic's Bao Jin Tian and honestly, it was nothing to boast about because the food was meh.
Dim sum that we ordered:
Steamed porkribs
Fried prawn roll and siew mai
Steamed carrot cake
Chee Cheong Fun
Chicken Congee
Then, it was movie at Gold Class! I am an avid follower of Twilight Saga and I have to admit that watching movie at Gold Class is a pleasure! The seats are so comfortable and there are fewer people in the cinema. Everyone is considerate as well. Although the tickets are not cheap, I think it is worth the money to watch a good movie in a Gold Class cinema. :)
Well, I was kind of disappointed by Breaking Dawn Part 1 because there wasn't much action and they actually broke the story into two parts. But, I guess that is what all film producers are thinking: more installments more money. Nonetheless, I still get to watch Jacob!
Then, it was off to Resort World Sentosa!
Festive mood!
Thanks to Des's mum, des and I are fun pass holders of Universal Studios Singapore and so we can enter USS as many times as we want in the one-year period. I have tried the Battlestar Galatica (yes! both Human and Alien thanks to my sis! will blog soon abt that!) and initially our plan was to just stroll and check out the souvenir shops. We accidentally chanced upon the new unopened Transfomers ride! So lucky ok! The ride was exclusively opened for all annual pass holders and that means we can be the first few to try out the ride without queuing!
Super shiok lo! Imagine us bypassing the crowd and enter the attraction with all the tourists looking at us as if we get special treatment! Hmm, we did get special treatment hahahaha. I like the ride. I think it's entertaining and most importantly, I won't get motion sickness. Must try!
The weather was kind of crazy and unpredictable. One moment, it was scorching hot and the next, it began to pour!
We roamed around USS and caught the waterworld show which I didn't get the chance to watch in the past. The queue was too long! The show was quite interesting and I thought the performers are really dedicated to performing. So exciting!
The performers were splashing water at the front-row audiences.
The performer was super high!
Des also got me a new sleeping buddy! It's a big GINGY!!!!!! So cute lo! Lucas got the small one and now I got the big one! Can hug to sleep...
Since we had a hearty breakfast, we decided to skip breakfast and have tea instead. So, this time round, we went to a cafe located at the lobby of Festive Hotel. We were so tired from all the walking and just wanted to get some light snacks and drinks before dinner.
ordered ice blended cafe mocha
Des ordered ice blended vanilla and he said it was kind of tasteless.
The sandwiches turned out to be not so light afterall wahahahaha... (This picture was hilarious! It looks as though the waiter is standing on my shoulder).
We had time to spare and I knew the Singapore Maritime Museum just opened recently and wanted to visit it. We walked over to SMM to take a look. My verdict: you can give it a miss. LOL
FYI: $5 per adult ticket.
A huge lion head
Zheng He
Maximum LOVE!
Anyway, we still spent quite some time there before we headed to Palio @ Hotel Michael for Mediterranean dinner. We have been there once and I am in love with their lobster linguine and freshly-made bread! Super fresh and fragrant and soft! It wasn't cheap but again, thanks to des's mother since she has given us some vouchers to use.
Super fresh!
Lychee Iced Tea
Are you ready for the ultimate bomb of the dinner????

The super delicious lobster linguine! Oh no, I'm already salivating!
And the rather plain Hotel Michael pizza
Got the waitress to help us take this pic
Then it was cake-cutting back at home. Des bought a black forest cake this year from Swensons and when I asked him why he bought black forest, he said, "I asked for Snow White but they don't have it and so I bought a black forest cake because Snow White is probably living in there." WTH! Speechless.....
The cake was so hard to cut. I don't really like chocolate and so I can't appreciate it. Nonetheless, I had a fantastic 23rd birthday!
