beautiful day

i woke to a glorious morning on my bday. the sun kissed my face as i went to peek outside. definitely a sun-dress day, i smiled.

had lunch with mom (adventures will be shared in next blog) at vivo then went to MAC for a splurge. mom left me there so i decided to go for a foot reflex in town but my fave therapist was not in. i pushed forward my pedi which was a good idea. hooked up with the girls for coffee at bakerzin then did a quick stop at muji and we were off to barfly for dinner.

barfly is really quaint in architecture and modern in it's ambience and feel. i liked the place. we were possibly the 3rd customer they had that night. and we were a big group. the other tables were couples trying to look inconspicuous, but we saw right thru them.

there we sat, all 6 of us, in the dark restaurant/bar. honestly, i thot it was more bar than restaurant. the menu was designed chic-ly but had the tiniest print. the only light the venue offered were from the three tiny candles they placed on the tables. we were squinting for our meal lah! almost went blind trying to order. eventually used the flashlight function from the mobile phone and ordered. the rock lobster bisque rocked!

to add to that, there was a live band ... ok not a band but 2 guitarist who sang on occasion. but they were loud ... which restricted our conversation ... which annoyed us. the music was good but what can i say, it was clashing with our agenda. we even toyed with the idea of buying them beer so that the (softer) house music could play on.

(disclaimer : we really ARE hot babes and always enjoy a good night out but that night, we just wanted to chill and enjoy conversation at a new spot and may have come across as a bunch of granny-mays but really ... we ARE hot and not one bit boring!)

the only time we really appreciated the band was when they sang a bday song and the girls joined in and started pointing at me. then the band sang it again and this time the waitress brought a small cake to the table in front of us. only then did we realise that we had "hijacked" the first effort and made it ours. of course it didn't dawn on any one of us how the band could have possibly known!

i felt truly decadent. the day was almost perfect. wish hubs was around to share it with me. at least i have birthday sex to look forward to next week when he comes back :)
