Oh Em Gee! Today is my birthday!

Woah. Time flies. I'm officially 33 already today. I don't remember what I did when I was 22 wtf. Yesterday night went to dinner to celebrate because one of my colleague has the same birthday as me but he's a year younger. Never in my live had I known someone that has the same birthday as mine. My youngest nephew nearly has the same birthday as mine because my sister then told me that the expected labour date was 17th August 2011 but she told me it's always a week earlier based on past performance. Yupe, she's right about that.

We went to Restoran Greenview in Section 19 Petaling Jaya to have dinner after work. I brought the Glenmorangie Astar that I got from Glenmorangie Malaysia to celebrate this with. This is a very good Scotch Whisky from Glenmorangie even my boss agreed on. Too bad, it's limited production so even if you have the money, you might not be able to find one.

Ordered their Four Season Dishes, which is very nice and fresh ingredients were used. But it's a bit too pricey. This cost us RM130. Gulp. Should have asked for the price before we order =P

Greenview is famous for it's Fresh Udang Galah noodle (生虾生面). We ordered one with four big fresh prawns. We gave it a two thumbs up. Saw on the wall there are pictures of Lin Dan and his wife Xie XingFang ate here before with the Chinese badminton team. This cost us RM170.

Need to have some vegetables to balance up the meal. The captain recommended stir-fried young lotus root, pine nuts, celery and mu er. Quite refreshing.

Continued with pork ribs and half of a roasted duck. The pork ribs is nice but the roasted duck is meh.

Sorry for the blur picture. I must have too much Astar already when I took this picture. Honey glazed squid. Crunchy and the sweet taste is just right. Very good dish to go with whisky or beer.

Had very good time chatting with colleagues after work and not talk about work. Oh, do you know that Hyuna also wished me Happy Birthday. You don't believe? Watch the video below.

I swore to you that I heard her sang, "Oopa Simon Seow". Okaylah. Shiok sendiri.

How young was I then in this old picture? Can't remember lol. By the way, this is my last year birthday post, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Happy Birthday! To me!

It's My Birthday!

To all the Leos and August baby out there, Happy Belated Birthday and Happy Early Birthday :p As my birthday falls in the middle of August so it's quite obvious that half of the August already celebrated their birthday and another half haven't :p

This is me in Aug 2008

Interesting fact about my birthday. From my birthday's day, I will also know what day is the National Day of Malaysia will fall into because it will be the same day. If my birthday for example this year falls on Wednesday, then National Day will also be celebrated on Wednesday. It's because National Day is exactly 2 weeks after my birthday. I know, it's quite lame lah.

Me in Aug 2009. That's CityGal in Aug 2009 :p

No celebration this year because I have to work on my birthday. I won't mind if you send me present though. Email me to get my house address to send you present :p LOL

That's me in Aug 2010.

In case you're wondering how young am I, well, it's not secret that I've passed my 30th birthday 2 years ago. I think every year I have one birthday post posted ever since I blog actively if not mistaken. Last year, last last year, and last last last year (well sort of).

This is me in July 2011 and that's Bendan :p

Hmm...seems not much has change since 2008. Still that fat and the hairstyle almost the same. Maybe it's time to get a new hairstyle. Crew cut maybe?

Happy Birthday To Me

Time seems to pass so fast this year. It's already August in 2010 and left only four more months till 2011. Today is 17th August, 2 weeks more it will be Malaysia National Day/Hari Merdeka/Hari Kebangsaan. Today is also my birthday. Another year wiser.

I have no celebration plan yet. Might not be celebrating at all since this year my birthday falls on a weekday that I have to work. Well, I'll be watching Repo-man tonight. That will be my birthday present :p

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Me & Jackson's Birthday Gathering @ Pick N' Brew

Simon Says: Happy Birthday to Kelly and Evolna. Wish both of you have a great day.

Two days before my birthday (17th August), I shamelessly organized a small gathering to celebrate my birthday and Jackson's birthday with the foodies in Pick N' Brew. There's two reasons for choosing Pick N' Brew, first is of cost it serves great tasting food, and second is because Jackson is always busy and can't get out from Pick N' Brew. If he can't go out for gathering then the the gathering come to him instead lol.

FBB was the earliest to arrived due to some miscommunication. I arrived after watching Lee Chong Wei won the semi-final for Olympic badminton men single in the center court of 1 Utama New Wing. FBB went out to walk around and only Jackson was there. Had some small takl with him while he's busy on his laptop. The talk is about business too wtf. Not long after that FBB came back. This is the first time meeting him in person after following his blog for so long. We decided to order something to eat first while waiting for the others to come.

FBB ordered assorted bruschetta. He thinks that the bread is a bit too think. I think so too because I have a hard time putting the whole thing in my mouth lol. The taste is good though.

Rating: 3.5/5

Jackson reserved a table for us.

Teckiee reached half an hour later and brought some snacks for us. Which look and taste like mini dorayaki but is not dorayaki. It comes with red bean and custard fillings. Yummy.

Red bean.

Custard.

We asked Teckiee to give a call to CityGal, and found out that she can't make it because she was stuck in a jam in SS2. Last but not least Jason is the last of the confirmed guest to arrive.

Jason arriving in style.

A picture with Jackson while waiting.

Jackson is so nice that he open a bottle of red wine on him. It's a good choice too.





Jackson ordered Lamb Moussaka. This is what I had the first time I visit Pick N' Brew. Still maintaining the quality and taste here.

I had Nasi Kerabu which came with a fried chicken on satay sauce. Marvelous combination there. The only thing I'm curious is why the nasi kerabu is not blue in colour.

Rating: 3.5/5

Next up, Teckiee's Lamb Tikka.

Jason's Chicken Cordon Bleu. I think I'll try this one on the next visit.

FBB's Snaper Crusted with Oats & Muesli. I like the texture of the oats, muesli and the snapper. Slurp, slurp.

This is me taking Teckiee's camera taking Jason's camera taking picture of food. LOL.





As promised, FBB baked his famous Durian Cheesecake and brought there as a birthday cake for me and Jackson. The taste is out of this world. I didn't know that durian can go so well with cheese. Order it from FBB if you guys would like to know the taste. WMW was able to make it in time to eat the cake with us.

Would like to thank you guys for this nice and happy gathering. Anyone's birthday coming?

Guess what is Teckiee laughing about?
