Jay's 21st Birthday Celebration

Today, the gang met up at Vivo City to celebrate Jay's 21st birthday, as well as Chinese New Year. As usual, Raymond was the last to arrive at 3:40pm(late for nearly half an hour).
Our first stop was of course Golden Village. Once again, due to Raymond's so-called busy schedule, we were not able to experience the GVmax show at 3:00pm. Instead, we had to settle for the 3:50pm show at the small theatre(Hall 10). Due to CNY, we had the all the CNY blockbusters (or maybe not...) to choose from, namely, Ah Long Pte Ltd, CJ7, KungFu Dunk. We certainly did not want to catch Ah Long Pte Ltd due to the inferior reviews it had received from the media. Our final choice were KungFu Dunk. Lol... Most of us got a shock when we saw the Raintree Pictures logo appearing, as though we went into the wrong hall.
Carnivore, Brazilian Churrascaria

After the movie, it is time for our feast at Carnivore and we had a special guest to join us for dinner, Yiyang. Carnivore, as the name suggests, was not a place for people who do not enjoy meat to dine in. There is a variety of different cuts of beef, chicken (even the heart), fish served there. Of course, there is appetizer and salad bar and a fondue(Aaron's favourite).
eugene, aaron, leong

ra, jay, kel

As mentioned above, a lot of beef was served, and Raymond, who is not suppose to consume beef, broke the taboo and was feasting on all the beef shoulders, thigh etc as if there is no tomorrow.(He reportedly suffered from nauseousness that night)

Ja! More meat please.. let the feast begins

burning in sin....

Of course, no birthday celebration should be without a cake. Thanks to Kel and Aaron for providing us with a tiramisu cake.

The group was very satisfied with the meal and of course, our stomach was filled to the maximum. It was time to end the night...

Highlight of the day:
Determined to maintain his position as the Resident Blonde, Aaron made the most quotable quote of the day. When he was tasting the highly coveted grilled pineapple, he exclaimed:" It is like mango!!!!" in which he was shot down immediately with a plain reply from the side," Aye... it is PINEAPPLE.... 10 Bp awarded".

Of course, without fail, Ra will not want Aaron to steal all the limelight. He followed up with a series of "sampan quotes" when Aaron was briefing us about the fishing trip on boat(Aaron got a boat driving license which he had not put into practical use).

"Very soon the boat and its engines will become 2 separate entities in the middle of the water."

"Oh my, if the boat goes bump bump bump on the waves, we will soon need to do a headcount."

"What??!! What inferior lifejackets! Looks like we need to bring our floats onboard."

"Our lives are dependant on the engines."

'If we are stranded in the sea, we may have to do a Giselle 'Ahh, Ahhh, Ahhhhhhh!' to summon creatures of the sea for help.'

'Can we dock before sunset? I don't want the red light to be the last thing I see on Earth.'

'We can tie the extra floats to the side of the boat for precautionary measure.'

'We need extra oars and paddles for the sampans in case the engine fails.'


All in all, a joyful event with all the recollections of memories as well as planning for upcoming activities....
