Melva's Birthday

I’ve been basically sick for about a week or so already… before I left for my trip and now that I’m back in Singapore I’m not yet recovered. Having flu is the worst thing ever because it makes you tired and irritated without being a bad enough illness that would make me stop working. Basically it’s just a pain in the ass. I went to the doctor for the 2nd time this week and he told me I needed to rest more and drink more water. Argh!!! I can’t believe I paid money for that sort of advise though I must agree that it can only help. So I’ve not contacted my friends since I got back and have full intention to rest well and recover before meeting up with anyone.

I’m gonna post another long overdue post. This one is about the time Sushi and I went out to celebrate Melva’s birthday. I guess you all are probably used to my super back dated posts by now. I want so much to share with friends and readers but time is a huge constrain for me these few months. I’ll work hard at churning out the photos so my blog doesn’t get too backdated. Dear friends, have more patience with me… I’ll try to find time to upload and send out photos!

We met late for supper at Clarke Quay and decided on finger foods and beer at Brewerks. The place was crazily busy and packed with people!

I quite liked the food we ordered. Both Melva and Sushi ordered beers but I kept to non-alcoholic drinks. Partly because I was driving the girls that night and partly because I’ve never been a fan of beers.

I baked a simple chocolate cake as requested by the birthday girl and I’m glad she liked it. And of course no birthday celebration, big or small can be completed with out a birthday cake and birthday present. So here’s what we got for Melva.

A little hand phone charm that Melva was eying for! Sushi chose the color and I think she did a fantastic job cause this neutral color goes with anything.

As usual I’m gonna end this post with photos of the outfit  I wore that day.

    Noticed that you had a similar top as sushi but yours is white. Where did you such nice tee from?

      Pinky,

      Not sure which tee you were referring to. But the top that Sushi wore that day is from Victoria Secrets.

    You bake such a nice cake! So “professional” & looks like buy from bakery… 🙂
    btw, do hv plenty of rest & take care… not good to fall sick often. Lack of sleep will also makes one fall sick easily… take care and recover soon! 🙂

      Katherine,

      Thanks. LOL… you can tell that the cake is not that “professional” looking if you look at it close up. But hopefully the taste makes up for it! Yes I’ve been trying to sleep more to gain more strength to recover faster.

    My eyes always go wet when my bff baked me cake on my birthday(s).
    The feeling is so heart-warming, so being loved.
    Agreed with Katherine – you had better rest and rest more.
    The body is already giving you signals.

    You looked gorgeous in the lady-like frock above 🙂

    Take Great Care : )

    Your sickness has been lingering for so long! Do drink more water. As much as it sounds common sensical and naggy, drinking ater really helps since lots of water is lost during a cold. And drinking vit c like redoxon works really good. Better than tablets.

    Your cake is lovely! Looks like it just came out from a bakery.

      Jolene,

      Yes I know!!! My doctor gave me some vitamins as well. I can’t wait to get better so I can meet you girls soon!
