Awesome BD Celebration with SGRunners

WOW!!!! .... That's all I can say ..... WOW!!! I'm .... Just .... So ..... Bowled .... Over ..... !!!! I'm like floating now .... I'm like in dreamland .... Is this real ???

What's this all about ? Well, I just returned from a birthday celebration, MY OWN bd celebration with the sgrunners and I just had such an awesome time that its close to 1am and I'm still wide awake, my brain still hyper and my heart warm from just the memories that were just created not long ago and now deeply etched in my mind ....

Since this is like an operation, as described by Roentgen, I shall report this as is:-
26 Jul nite : Was informed by Roentgen during the muay dinner to meet up with Charmane, Charlotte, Junie & Nemo at my office pick-up point at 7pm on Thur nite. That he would pick us all up for an Indian dinner with durian -_-" (but of coz I knew he was joking hehe)

27 Jul
7pm : Met up with Junie & Nemo at my office pick-up point. Roentgen came shortly after with Charlotte & Charmane already in the car. We then took off with none of them disclosing where the destination was. Roentgen only repeatedly mentioned about going for indian food and he and Charlotte spent a good part of the time discussing about how delicious indian food is (the naan, curry dunno what -_-") . They were very secretive, one minute we were travelling toward ECP, passing by Marina Square, Marina South Park, and they talking about having dinner at Mac, chicken rice etc and the next minute we were turning back and heading towards the west! I was totally confused and didn't know what was going on, but only knew that we all were getting hungry ... stomachs were growling ... louder ... and louder ... haha

730pm :
When Roentgen turned into Sunset way, I was like ... hmmmm, is there a restaurant here ? Was surprised when we walked to the little shopping centre in Sunset Way and to this little quaint restaurant called Bathers. The group waited for me to enter the restaurant and there in one corner seated in a long table are my friends from sgrunners! I was expecting a few others to attend this dinner but didn't expect such a big turnout! In alphabetical order, we have Andy, Angel, Balasing, Bikerchic, Cfred, Charlotte, Charmane, Cosmic_Wind, Junie, Kay, Nemo, Roentgen, Superboy, Teelee & Tiwazz. A few of the guys in particular Nemo & Roentgen seems very busy organising something, and its only later that I realised they have already coordinated and ordered in advance our dinner so that we do not have to be kept waiting.

Dinner was alright, we had mushroom soup with garlic bread and some very odd tasting supposedly innards kind of stuff (many of us didn't even try it, i took a bite and it was like ewwwwwwwwwwww), salad and then main course of either fish or beef. Roentgen & Nemo know me very well and ordered fish for me, knowing that I don't take beef. Throughout the dinner, I was just having fun yakking and joking with the gang and even managed to pick up the following new terms from them:

SQG : Siao3 Qi4 Gui3 (petty)
SL : Sia Lan (hokkien term)
SLK : Sia Lan Kia (hey, one of my fav car is Merc SL500 leh)


hahaha !! And during this period, I still noticed Roentgen, Nemo and sometimes teelee and a few guys busy walking about settling stuff. So like busy bees leh :P

Shortly after dinner, my next surprise came when the waiters came out with 2 Milles Crepes cake with candle on each of the cake. Yes!! not one but TWO of the cake of my dream!!!!!!!!!!! I was like ... WOW!!!!!!!!!!! And they even have a sugared decoration with "Happy Birthday Kickjazz" on it!!! The gang sang me the birthday song and I was like sooo embarrassed and yet very touched!! Later Nemo told me that in fact when he called up to order the cake for my birthday celebration, the owner-cum-chef has told him that the cakes have been fully booked. But the very resilient and never-say-no attitude of Nemo made him talked the owner round. He told the owner that I will be soooooo disappointed if I do not get the cake for my bd celebration, and that somemore I love the cake so much I even blogged about it and helped give them publicity! Wow! Nemo is good man!!! The owner-cum-chef relented and even help to suggest having our dinner at Bathers, which is just a few shops away. This is most convenient arrangement because the cake must be eaten once it has been baked. Wow!!! The group then happily tugged into the cake and everyone seemed to like the cake (but definitely not the extra calories packed into the cake and the fact tat teelee mentioned we can't even burn it off with a 2-hour run -__-")




Nemo mentioned that there were still people joining us for the celebration and I was like Wow!! There are still some more sgrunners coming? Was really pleasantly surprised when IMD, SV and Shut & Eedian (Shut's MHA) arrived turned up! Both IMD & SV came after the RL run and both still looked very fresh!! Really didn't expect IMD & SV to be there! Wow! IMD leh!!!
For Shut, he was late coz he was busy whole day with Eedian (his MHA's) convocation. So happy and honoured that all these friends still make the effort to come by to celebrate my birthday though they have prior engagements!! THANKS people!!!! *sniff sniff*



I even received several wonderful birthday pressies!! They are really prizeless as these gifts were personalised and hand made!!! Charlotte made a picture montage laminated and everyone signed at the back of this card .. serving as a birthday card ! Very nice!!! And all the pics of coz will have me inside (cham lah, spoil the whole card but thankfully only i get to see it haha). SV made me a souvenir that I can hang on a wall or cubicle. The gang also bought me a Ben & Jerry's T-shirt!! The one that I had been eyeing since few months back when I was at Great World City watching the X-Men movie with the gang!!!! I'm soooooooooo surprised when I opened up the BNJ paper bag and found the t-shirt inside!! Nemo, its all thanks to Nemo, who somehow remembered that I was eyeing that T!!! WOW!!! THANKS NEMO!!! I'm speechless!!



I had the honour, as the birthday gal, to take lots of pics with each and everyone in the group. Had an individual shot even with IMD!!! Am I happy or am i happy??? And also had pics with Kay and everyone else!! We even got the waiters from Bathers to help us take a few group pics! Only regret is that I didn't manage to take a photo with my HSP / BOH family. :(

I really had a FANTASTIC time, and I'm sure everyone also had fun, from the smiles that are constantly on everyone's face. This is what happens for every sgrunners outing or event. Everyone just always enjoy ourselves. The great company always make each of these gatherings/run/outings so much fun and memorable!

After the picture taking, we bade our farewell and I even got a birthday hug from Kay and Angel!! Soooo sweet of them! I dunno, but I felt very touched by the hugs from these sweet friends. *BIG SMILE*

Teelee drove many of the HSP folks home ... while Nemo and I took Shut's rented vehicle. Roentgen drove Cosmic & Angel to the nearest MRT (or issit home ?). I was already dozing off in Shut's car but by the time I got home and showered, I was feeling really energised and all that happened in the course of the celebration kicked in and I was just in CLOUD 9 ...

Thanks everyone for making this birthday the best birthday I've ever had. I have never had so many friends celebrating my birthday with me. Guess I always just kept many things to myself, even my birthday, so not many people know about it. But this year is really a blast! Thanks all!!! What a wonderful way to cross to the next decade of my life .... hehe ... To many great years ahead, more runs and more happier times! *2 thumbs up*

Before I end this blog, I really want to register my deepest, sincerest to Nemo & Roentgen for doing all the coordination work. You brothers ROCK!!!
