Birthday Dinner Part 1

*yet another backdated post* =.=

I have officially turned a quater-of-a-century-old….*sigh* Feeling so old now, my gosh! Anyways, thank you to everyone who wished me either on Facebook/SMS/face-to-face - I appreciate ‘em very much.

Now, back to my post. My lovely colleagues (Joanne & Nell) were really sweet to treat me to dinner in conjunction with my birthday earlier this month. Joanne brought us to an Italian-American restaurant at Bugis Junction called Lenas (brought to you by Ministry of Food = MOF) and they were having a 1-for-1 promo for pizzas and pastas at that time.

Their menu was just so tempting that we felt like ordering every single item on it, haha! This is me cam-whoring with the menu.

We ordered an appetizer, a pasta each, and a pizza to share - sounds like a lot of food ya? Wanna know if we managed to finish everything? Read on….

The appetizer - fried mushrooms (I think)

Nell & Joanne’s seafood marinara pasta

Italian Sausage Pizza

Me & my baked pasta & the pizza

My, the food was really, really good - we like! And we were so stuffed by the time we finished our own pasta…we couldn’t finish the pizza & I had to bring the leftovers home which my lunch the next day.

A surprise was in store for me that day & I didn’t know about it until the waiter/waitress brought out a birthday cake with a candle & started singing the Birthday song to me! I was indeed surprised (and a lil’ embarassed) but VERY happy too!

Me & the chocolate cake….yummy!

With Nell & Joanne - Thank you so much gurls, I really appreciate it!

The chocolate cake was soooo good too! A huge thank you to the staff at Lenas for the sweet arrangement….I am indeed touched. By the time each of us had the cake, we were way too full for anymore desserts & I had to bring back 1/2 of the cake home. It took me a week to finish the rest by myself…I suddenly feel like a glutton, argh!?!

And here is me with Jojo’s pressie - a brand new Maybelline eye shadow, just what I needed. Thank you Jojo! *hugzzz*
