My 20th Birthday – Part I

Dear diary,

It’s a Saturday, my throat is not feeling so well, hence, i decided to stay at home to blog my day away.

I’m gonna blog about the series of celebration for my birthday (22nd April 2008).


My first celebration is held on the 19th April (a Saturday night). I had my dinner in T.G.I.F. The Curve – bills all taken care of! I ordered Texas Rib Eye as usual…I guess it’s my only favourite dish in TGIF’s menu.

“We get a table by the glass panes…
love the American cosmopolitan ambient!”

“After my meal, we had a lil’ chat about
tech gadgets on our table.”

Thanks Buddy!

Next up is my family’s dinner on 20 April (a Sunday night) @ Cafe Cafe – a Parisian cuisine. I dress up a little for the night…

I chose this restaurant because I love its signature ambient which makes u feel like you’re in Paris.

The minute I step into Cafe Cafe, I’m impressed by its luxurious & elegant interior! Every detail is carefully carved into perfection. I particularly love the purple baby breaths…it looks very elegant!

Even the ceiling favors my visuals – credits to the crystal beads decor.


I love its extended ceiling, courtly furniture, lamp-shades; vintage collectibles and elegant drapes…”

Initially i wanted to go for their salmon but they have no salmon served that day. (i’m disappointed~) Hence, I ordered their signature Beef’s Cheeks shimmered in Burgundy……and it turns out to be not quite my preference of food. The juice of the beef are buried in the strong taste of wine. I better off like grilled juicy beef. I ordered Tia Maria to go with my Burgundy Beef…it’s my first time drinking Tia Maria (coffee liqueur)…and I think I like it. We also had appetizers – 1/2 dozen of Escargots. I think I like those served in the Ship or Victoria Station better. This tastes a bit fishy…

Escargots priced RM24

Seafood Sphagetti, priced RM38; my Burgundy Beef Cheeks, priced RM69

After we’re done with our meals, the waiter approached us for dessert menus. although i’m yearning to try out their desserts but there’s merely any tummy space for it.

……shortly after that, there is this waiter walking towards us with a birthday cake lighted with candles….followed by everybody singing birthday song.

I’m touched by my mother’s effort in creating all these surprises for me…


Generally, the food in Cafe Cafe didn’t reach my expectations. perhaps it’s the price that caused me to be bias towards it…i literally dislike over-price stuff which value do not match the money paid. However, the ambient was great…this would probably be my first and last time dining in CafeCafe.


People that were there for me on this very expensive night of luxury. You guys made my night!

On 21st April night, it’s my date with my group of besties from Astro. They are very great and talented people from the Astro Chinese Production…we went to Red Box Low Yat.

We ordered jugs of beer…have lots of food…and we gone…terribly crazy…jumping on the sofa; singing out our lungs…took lots of disgusting pictures…and cool down a little when they send the
cake in.

Craziness” is a culture in Astro production – indeed it is a culture in all production people.
When the stress level is so high, there must have some ways to release it. It’s either vulgar words; alcohol; cigrattes or karaoke. As for myself, I only go for the alcohol and karaoke thingy.

I kinda drink up the jug of beer all by myself…
and in return, i get a soar throat out of it.

In the midst of releasing some stress…

…the birthday cake comes in while the song 祝我生日快乐is being sang.
…everyone take turns to take photo with me, OMG, i feel like a star for that few minutes…and i enjoyed being a ‘star’…hehe.
…I’m overwhelmed, surprised and touched…seriously, tears feel like running down my cheeks that time…it’s what I call the tears of joy…because, i knew that i have a bunch of friends despite my tough journey.
