Happy 30th Birthday To Me

Yesterday was my 30th birthday, the big three-oh, and I'm officially out of my twenties. I've just returned from a week's holiday in Sydney with Li Xiang. It's a lovely place to retire, though generally pricier than Singapore.

Happy 28th Birthday Li Xiang!

Happy 28th birthday to my dearest wifey! I didn't get you a present this year, unless the Pixel Ruler I bought last month counts. I promise more effort next year. Tonight I've found a few ice cream spots.

I am twenty-seven today, firmly in my late twenties now! Li Xiang surprised me with two cakes from Pine Garden delivered to my office. My colleagues lit the candles and sang, embarrassingly letting the whole office in on it.

Happy 26th Birthday To Me

Celebrated my 26th birthday at Chili's in Resorts World yesterday, my second visit after the Tanglin Mall branch. The food's fantastic but pricey; I love the free-flow Tostada chips at S$6.90, though the S$41.90 steak isn't worth it.
