Two Birthdays

Today is 06/07. And 06/07 is Wai Yinn's 15th Birthday ( old man already) . You should have known by now. All through training, I tried to let everyone sign the orange birthday card, without letting Wai Yinn know. I almost got all the signatures, except some.

I guess I must have been a rather bad birthday planner, and there wasn't even a cake.

On a whole, it wasn't really coordinated, but its the thought that counts. So Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Wai Yinn, Happy Birthday to you!

And if not for his injury we would have tau poked him into a pancake. Lucky him. We'll get him next time. aHaah.

But little did I know that Melvyns birthday had passed already. It was on Homecoming Day. No wonder he didn't go for public duty. And to think that we scolded him for not turning up, making us feel so guilty.

He should have told us it was his Birthday what. Anyway, lets do it again, from the top.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to the-chess-club-president, Happy Birthday to you!

As he was not injured, we did not spare him from our tau pok ( Birthday tradition lol ). hahaa

After celebrating the birthdays, Nicholas, Melvyn, Brian, Wai Yinn and I went to J8 for dinner. We wanted to go to a coffeeshop at first, but Wai Yinn wanted to eat Ajisen Ramen. Expensive, but it's his birthday after all, so he gets to choose.

AS the queue was long brian left his contact number so so we could walk around instead of wasting time queuing. We walked for 15 minutes before returning back to the restaurant. By now, the queue has subsided so we only had to wait 5 minutes more before having our seat.

As we were choosing our food, Brian saw the drink he loved in the Menu- Ramune ( the drink with the marble thing ). But it was $4.80, so he didn't want to buy it. And when he also said that he wanted to have the Volcano Ramen ( with 4 Chilli rating ), I thought he was joking but he indeed odered it. Ok, now I know Brian is a Chilli King ( Nicholas said he could eat Chilli Padi Seed by itself ).

Nicholas and Wai Yinn had Crayfish Ramen, Melvyn Black Pepper Chicken ramen, and I had a Vegetable Ramen. Our food arrived fast, to the delight of our stomachs. I started at the volcano ramen with fear. Brian was eating his Volcano as if there wasn't any Chilli at all. When I tried one spoonful of soup ( Here I also realised Brian is very Hygenic ), I couldn't really take it. Perhaps I'm not a Chilli type of person.

After we finished our food, except Brian ( he didn't like his Volcano Ramen ), Wai Yinn, Brian and Nicholas started cracking jokes. Real Funny. Hahas. While talking, we also discovered a Ramen Noodle Diagram. It was a cross section of a Ramen Noodle. I didn't know noodles were so sophisticated.

We talked, we joked, we laughed. Within a blink of an eye ( I know I always use this phrase ) an hour had passed and it was getting late.

We paid our humoungous bill of $75. Okay, so it was expensive, but worth it to eat with my friends and more importantly, as a little birthday celebration for the two Birthday Boys'.

After that, we went to NTUC to search for the Ramune drink which Brian wanted. Eventually, we found it ( $2.50 ). He bought one and we had difficulty opening it. So we went upstairs to a less crowded area to open it on the ground. With a pop, Wai Yinn opened it, and the marble was pushed into the bottle, and totally covered with bubbles. The drinks tasted like normal soda. But it was the part of opening the bottle which made it fun.

Finally, we retreated to our homes, and before that, we took a group photo, together. Happy 15th Birthday Wai Yinn and Melvyn!
