another year

                              age is mind over matter.

                              if you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

how true *grin*

another wonderful healthy year. 

surrounded with love, life and good health. 

surrounded by loved ones and true friends.

and good food, haha....

birthday makan started two weeks ago because of others' travel plans.

so we had korean food at my favourite restaurant: jang shou at the esplanade.

call me partial but i think they serve the best bulgogi, galbi and cold noodles.

the cake (above) was from patisserie glace, the coolest place to get ultra light japanese-baked confectionery. 

last night, oz took me to shabu-shabu gen, an atas joint at shaw centre that had grade A4 wagyu beef. we had the sirloin cos we both don't appreciate too much marbling. 

it was out of this world. too bad, i didn't take pictures  :-(

i wish i can declare it my favourite-est restaurant  but it's too expensive to patronise it except for very special occasions.

and just now, the four of us had indian food at another of my fave restaurants: chat masala. we walloped the naan - butter, cheese, plain and fruity. all yums.

and the butter chicken, the bindi masala, tandoori chicken, pilaf rice.....

and there was that 'surprise' breakfast arranged by the thursday mahjong kakis. someone let the cat out of the bag a little too early and i was told to act surprised. hahaha... 

they bought my fave putu mayam! apart from thosai, there were also apom and vadai and a freshly baked banana cake. with one candle, of course. was very touched by their thoughtfulness.

and today, i have received birthday greetings from family and friends, near and far. 

aahhh, life is good.

                               
counting my blessings. not the years.
