Birthday girl in the Keyhole Mod Dress from Hollyhoque! This dress is so flattering, it's going to be one of my most worn dresses now! (:

Talking about hitting 24, It wasn't exactly a happy occasion to me anymore. I mean, I remember how I used to wanted to grow up fast but now, it's no turning back. I am sure many of us share similar sentiments, hating school then and missing it again altogether.

So on my 24th, it was dinner was at our favorite Indonesian Restaurant, Tambuah Mas at Tanglin Mall! I called the Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles with their children for a nice little dinner together!

Those who could make it! (:

We ordered quite a lot of food and the 13 of us managed to squeeze into 1 table!! The portions at Tambuah Mas were standard so we had to order 2-4 plates of each dish though seated together.

Otah which was sooo good, it melts in the mouth!

Potato Leaves with Coconut curry

Tahu Telor

Everyone loved this! We wiped out all our Tahu Telor very quickly! Tahu=beancurd, telor=egg. Very simple ingredients indeed, but in the hands of a master, they can be transformed into a magical dish.

Nila Flying Fish

Shiok is when you can eat almost every part of the fish! It's so crispy and the fish meat is really fresh! It's my first time ordering this at Tambuah Mas and I am going to order it the next time round too!

Sayur Lodeh- cabbage, long bean, and beancurd simmered in coconut gravy!

Ayam Goreng (1/2 chicken)

Chicken Korma- Daddy's favorite!!

Yummy!!!

And what's dinner without authentic Indonesian desserts? (:

Everyone's Es Kachang Cendol and Es Teler!

Mama got a small birthday cake for yi shi yi shi lol! I hate birthday cakes because I don't like being sung birthday songs to lol! Will feel ultra embarrassed which I don't know why!

Blackforest!

LOL! Melvin dropped the strawberry tarts and that's what was left. They went back to the shop and bought another 2 more so we had 4 for desserts that afternoon!!

I love strawberry tarts!!!!!!

They were from Sophie Bakery, first time trying them and I love it!

Another Strawberry cake from Veron!

And they made me open my present! Couldn't guess what it was and kudos to them cause it's not easy to figure what to get for me! (:

Body Composition Monitor from Omron!! This is no ordinary weighing machine!!! Share later! (:

Ended lunch with group shots. Eugene was sick so he wasn't around ):

Wth Adam!

And here are the presents I got from the family and colleagues (:

Crabtree and Evelyn set from Gugu Julie and family! (:

So pretty!!

Omron Weighing Machine

This weighing machine doesn't just that your weight! This Body Composition Monitor takes the body fat, muscle percentage, BMI, visceral fat (fat around the organs), body age etc!! You would usually see such machines at the gym! (:

Last but not least, a very touching card from Nuffnang Singapore and Churp Churp!! To be honest, I thought it was an ordinary birthday card, but when I opened up, I was shocked. It had so many birthday greetings and sign offs from the people at Nuffnang and Churp Churp! Thank you guys!!! (((:
