Finally 23! But I am forever 18. My birthweek began with a miserable day at school, after not sleeping the whole night in preparation for FYP, and a horrid Corporate Identity class. Haha. 

Thankfully I have wonderful friends to get me through the day. Yongyi bought me two packets of honey nuts..lame TTM! 

ZX came to pick me up at 4pm in hope of catching our Gold Class Harry Potter show! Hahaha! But we decided to take a nap at my hostel instead. Headed home to say hello to my mummy and sis before going to Dozo for dinner! Been hoping to go there for quite abit and finally there's an occasion that I cannot refuse. Heh.

Dozo was extremely enjoyable. The reviews I read on HungryGoWhere were indeed true! The service was fab, food was fab and it wasn't super expensive, considering the kind of ambience the place had. It was approx 70per pax after GST, for 7 courses. 

One of the more memorable courses during the dinner was the Crab Bisque, Escargot, Beef Tataki and ZX's main course, the beef tenderloin on hotstones! Definitely superior as compared to many other restaurants we've been to, and it was a memorable experience as well. 

We will definitely go back there again! If you're planning for a romantic dinner with your other half, this is the place to go :) This place is a winner.

It was awfully dark and difficult to photograph the food. Thanks to my trusty camera and some photoshop, it is my pleasure to share with you my lovely dinner!

Post Dozo saw us heading to Zouk for a couple of drinks, and then to Em by the River for more. Omg totally smashed at the end of it, not from the alcohol but from the fatigue. 

Next day was brunch with my Viscom lovelies to celeb Deborah's and my birthday at Brussel Sprouts! Haha! This is my chance to make everyone go to where I've my sights on, so Brussel Sprouts we went!

Fab mussels and frites, super yums!! 

The Ostendaise Mussels were scrumptious, as compared to Meridionale ones. It is a MUST GO, if you heart mussels.

Unfortunately, the mussels were not the huge ones like we tried in Belgium. These ones were the tinier, black mussels, but the sauce makes up for everything else! The platter was not too bad either, but after a foodie conversation with Wan Ting, she told me that I've missed out on the King Crab Salad on Toast thingy which was one of the star dishes! I am heading back there to try it soonest! Pigout alert.

Sadly I had to leave even before Peizhi & Liying came by :( Thanks YY for the 100pcs of Naturalis (LOL) and PZ for the card and the cake! And thanks all for the lovely brunch.

Rushed off for my dose of Harry Potter. Reminds me of my 21st birthday when I watched Gold Class for the first time. $36 a pop just for a reclining chair and a blanket? Concierge service (chargeable somemore) and not even free popcorn. I will never pay for such shite. Anyhows the whole theatre was filled with angmohs, not a single local in sight.

And then it was dinnertime with my buddies at 2D1N Sojubang Korean BBQ Buffet! Now you know why I am fat. I booked the entire private space upstairs with 20 seats. It was quite a pleasant surprise because we were really away from the crowd. Loves. Selection was good, food was good and very authentic. Waiters were Korean too! Only downside is that you'll smell like a walking bibimbap at the end of dinner.

It was my dear friend Yogi's birthday too! He's 30 this year but he doesnt look quite like it huh. Haha!!

ZX and I bought him longevity buns to tease him about his age. Crystal Jade ones okay!

But I also bought him a cake so he won't feel so miserable about reaching his milestone. :D

 And finally, it was my birthday dinner with my beloved Secondary School mates :) 

It was a quiet affair at Marmalade Pantry with our partners.

Finally got to meet Jenni's love! I'm so happy for you babe.

The crabmeat linguine wasnt a disappointment. Definitely comparable to my fave linguine at Changi Village Hotel. Wanted to try the crab salad but felt it was too much of an overdose. The Truffle Risotto was crap! Zzz.

If you go, be safe and stick to what they recommend, it's not worth venturing and paying that sort of price to have crappy standard grub.

 Post-dinner saw us traipsing across Orchard Road to soak up the Yuletide cheer! This years lights were so-so, I only liked the pink ones at the start of the Tanglin stretch! The main Orchard's lights were ALL BLUE, not the least bit of white for contrast. So disappointing.

We went to Hansel's opening at Mandarin Gallery to look for Juan who was working there for the launch! Camwhored with the polaroid camera and amazingly handdrawn scene + props that the ladyboss Jo Soh did up prior to the launch.

I had a really fab birthweek, thanks to all the lovely people in my life.

And I'm getting the best birthday present from my love,

Thank you!
