Introducing the new '2008 Lance'

Firstly, a shoutout~

HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! WOOHOO~~~

2 days due to my birthday and I haven't had much time to blog till now. So today's blog might be slighly longer. (Might or might not...)

Before I continue, I would like to show my appreciation to the guys who sent their greetings to me on this special day of mine. They truly are the best gifts, the ones I really wanted.

So this year, the champion really goes to Jasmine for celebrating early with me. (Since her birthday was like 9 days from mine...) We are sharing the same age for 9 days every year. Haha. So we had dinner at Pastamania, before walking around to digest the food. Got to know Jasmine more through this dinner and is one very friendly and socialable lady. Haha.

The 'On the Dot' runner-up goes to one of my bros, Zegui. Two simple word, 'Happy birthday' is enough to show the thought. And following his SMSes, other sms that came and not in any sort of order, are:

There was the alway-full-of-weird-ideas- Sze Tho who gave me a call and sang me a Birthday Song. This is just so him but appreciated the song. Enjoyed it plenty. Thanks.

And there was Mr Tan JM~ who never fails to leave me a friendster message to greet me during my birthday period. I know Mr Friendster reminded you but not everyone bothers about the message. Thanks!

And on that actual night, I spend the evening with dear friends. I regret there was only one me and couldn't split into a few to go out with all during groups this period but your year will come so be patiences my friends.

Nicholas - Secondary school friend who is a very witty, smart and interesting fellow. Thanks for organizing the gathering.

And finally to the my soccermates who only came to known about my birthday the following day during our friendly game against a bunch of friendly opponents. Specially to Ihzyan, Edison, Mahateh and Vijay. And also to my 2 buddy who accompany through my current phase of life. Waycherng and Kumar who never wish me happy birthday but do remember it. Thanks alot for the helps and enjoyment bought.

Although Man Utd won against Derby 4-0 during boxing day and lost to Westham 2-1 after leading on my birthday. It is still fine since there is still a long path to battle. 10 man battle by AS23 FC with me being the keeper lost 4-3 in Regent Seconday on the 30th but i think we guys did well and cheerio to that as we will leash our revenge in our next week's opponent.

Back to my birthday celebration, Nicholas organize a mini gathering for me with a group of us. Ironically, this batch contains 1 from primary school, 1 from secondary and 1 from army, while others were known from them. We had our dinner at:

Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao
#B1-027/029 Fountain Terrace, Suntec City Mall

The food there was So-so but the Xiao Long Bao was pretty much heavenly. I would also recommand these 2 more dishes. The chicken and the Red bean paste.

After the dinner, we chilled out at:

爱琴海民歌餐廳
(http://www.musicdreamer.com/)
6 Raffles Boulevard #02-308 Marina Square Singapore 039594

Steven sabotaged and dedicated a Happy Birthday song to me where the singer on stage sang a birthday song for me. They actually sing and talk about my birthday for 10 minutes, no wonder Lilian can actually be a DJ. Cai Li Lian was the singer that time slot together with one of the guy from Dreamz FM (梦飞船). For those who do not know who Cai Li Lian is, she sang 'Guan Huai Fang Shi'. Hopefully that rings a bell and if it still doesn't help, here are pictures to help recall. Oh ya I go a gift from the resturant too. Its a pen...
