OG 11 Outing 04/11: Celebrated Joshua's Birthday (April 2011)
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 @ 3:41 PM
On 16 April 2011, Yuhan and Jieyang organised an outing to Fish and Co Glass house at Dhoby Ghaut to celebrate my 21st birthday. We planned to meet up at 5.30pm so that we can talk to each other longer.
At 5.30pm, I was the first one to reach followed by Jieyang. Yingling was at tcc studying and she came down to the MRT to meet us with her boyfriend. However, her boyfriend left as he had something on. After waiting for 5 minutes, Yuhan arrived and we told Xinni to go straight to Fish and Co glass house. When we arrived at our destination, we were fortunate to have a seat that was able to accommodate 5 of us and we started to order our meal. After ordering our food, Yuhan wanted to pass me my birthday present but I told her to wait first as I was not prepared for any tricks like they did last year in which they placed Jieyang’s ez-link card in my birthday present. After I prepared myself for any tricks that they might have, I accepted the present that they gave me – which was a voucher at G2000 which I can use to buy any clothes. The only setback is that I have to buy the clothes by the end of May as the voucher will expire at that time. Anyway, thank your guys for the unexpected ‘angbao’ present.
After our meal arrived, we started to eat and I knew I am going to take quite some time to finish my meal since I was very talkative on that day and the portion was quite large. We talked a lot of things which I forgot already and one person kept on countering what I said. It was quite a fun time. There was a funny incident that happened. A waiter asked us about something in which we did not ask for. However, the other waiter beside him knew that he was asking the wrong table and did not bother to let him know about it. The waiter felt quite embarrassed after he knew that he had asked the wrong table. Another incident was that, we told the waiter that the cake we ordered was meant to celebrate my birthday. However, the other waiter did not hear what he said and served the cake onto our table, leading to another embarrassing incident among the staff.
I did not expect to stand on the chair and all the waiters and waitresses started singing my birthday song. I was quite embarrassed as there were many people in the restaurant having their dinner and they all turned to look at me. After saying my wish, I had to blow the candle that was quite a distance from me. Fortunately, I managed to blow the candle after 2 to 3 tries and the celebration was over. I expected that there would be a celebration for me but not to this extent. Anyway, would like to thank the OG executive committee for organising the outing.
After our meal, we went to Plaza Singapura to shop. We went to the clothing shops to have a look at some of the clothing that were on display. After some shopping, we went to a dessert shop to have dessert and we talked about some stuff which is classified as OG secrets. Haha =). As the dessert store was about to close at 10pm, we got ready to leave and we went to the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station.
I would like to thank the OG especially the girls for celebrating my birthday even though their university exams are around the corner. The objective for the next OG outing would be to celebrate Khia Peng’s birthday in May before Yuhan leaves for Thailand on 13th May. As Yingling has exams going on in early May, she will not be coming fir the next outing.
All the best to those taking their exams in the coming week. Please eat well, drink lots of water and have a good night sleep the day before your paper. I hope you all can spend your time well such that you can complete the syllabus you are required to.
