my 25th  overdose of pictures coming up! it's been a fantabulous 25th birthday, with celebrations by family, friends and students :) so many pictures that i have to break the post up into two. this has probably been the best birthday ever! firstly, my darling clique met up for dinner the day before my birthday to celebrate. despite everyone's varied working schedules, we all managed to convene at jones the grocer, mandarin gallery for dinner.      lil's pasta, one of the specials of the day. the pan came smaller than expected, yet the serving was filling. lil felt the cheese was not melted enough and the pork sausages tasted more like ba chor mee (minced pork noodles).  i, on the other hand, chose the rib eye. a carnivore never strays far from red meat. the shade of the meat was paler than expected, however, it was tender and went really well with the bernaise sauce.   bryan's chicken thigh. two huge thighs at that! was probably the best of all the dishes that night.   angelo's wagyu beef burger. felt it was a waste that wagyu beef was minced and made into a patty, they should just have served it as a steak burger, but that would probably be very expensive.  raspberry cheesecake, one of my favourite kinds of cheesecake. the raspberry jam layered crust reminded me fondly of arnott's tartlets which can no longer be found in singapore :(     definitely not a restaurant to frequent (except if you are very rich) and if i wanted a steak, i would go to the steakhouse. however, i have heard many great things about their sandwiches and all day breakfast, so i'll probably make a return trip to try those.  early on my birthday, i was surprised by my class with this beautiful cake! they did not make it themselves, but they had painstakingly designed it at icing room, jurong point. just look at how pretty the cake is!       my sweetie-pies!  mutilated cake to serve the majority.  here's the card that went with the cake. so heartwarming!  then, next was a surprise sprung by my colleagues. they are definitely a wacky bunch and i don't know how i will get through any school day without them by my side!  when i reached the door of the staffroom, they gave me a string to follow and i wound round the tables till i came to a vacant table and this was what i saw!      another mutilated cake haha! the occasion was definitely made special by all the people who tried to spice things up! more pictures coming up tmr...
