Birthdays!!!!

March 2, Aileen

This is the whole shanghai chain gang... left to Right, Ming Yen, Edward, Me, Aileen, Daren, Les and Jackson.

Birthdays are the best even though its means u're older, wrinkler, and that you have to start getting mature about somethings. I like the cakes, the presents, the well-wishes, and knowing that u've lived past another year, its more like a celebration of completion rather than a celebration of a new beginning. U know what i mean?

Get a room Daren!

Anyway, Daren isn't comfortable with PDA, so this was an exception (had to go on my blog). Also because the birthday girl was SO SMOKIN Hot... heh.

Ok one more time, CHEESE.... Aileen looks like Carina Lau in pictures

The night was quite fun...After dinner at South Beauty (serves the best chinese food in SH in my opinion), we walked around for a pre-clubbing drink at a microbrewery. Little did we know that the place just opened so all the drinks were on the house. It was just a small pint of sampler, but free is good. The beer was also extremely fresh. I'm a lightweight when it comes to drinks tho... Lester usually guzzles everything for me.

Free beer at some new pub... Can't remember the name.

We then went to British Bulldog, our usual hangout for ANOTHER drink, cos it was too uncool to go to a club too early. At about 12 midnight, we hit MUSE, first club i went to in Shanghai. Hip-hop and Progressive House playlists...Hip-hop's not our thing, but i thought it was okay, at least they played Pussycat Dolls. Progressive House wasn't the best, but it was okay too. We all had fun...

March 3, Lester

Lester's birthday was a bit more tamed. After a night of partying, we wanted to do the usual. Chor Dai Dee and Gin Rummy(or as Daren would put it, Jin-Ram-Mi). Anyway, we've progressed from manual to electronic calculation of our winnings. Daren the bookie came up with a sophisticated (cheah) calculating apparatus tht kinds whizzes up the numbers really quickly. Solid...

Anyway, this was us at A Future Perfect. Its a restaurant very near our place which serves italian food. Post-modern concept, indoor alfresco. Its also one of the places Lester brought me to on our date (*blush*). Food ranges from 3 to 5 stars, depending on what you order.

We adjourned to British Bulldog AGAIN... these are the BOYZ...

And the Gals... MingYen is absent.

And this is Ed... in his usual state.

We later "surprised" Lester with a birthday cake!! He wasn't surprised at all cos he already saw the cake in the fridge during the day. Whoops. But its okay, he appreciated the effort.

Anyway, Daren's birthday is next, March 9. But i realise i haven't got pictures... Will update them once i have it!
