*this entry is not by the owner.* Disclamier: the orange wordings are add-ons by ME (the girlfriend)

Whahaha! My dear has a interesting idea of asking the boyfriend to blog in her blog about his own birthday celebration. i found it really funny and was thinking how i could make the blog entry as interesting and amusing as how the girlfriend usually does it in hers. well anyway here goes:

On 26 Oct 2009, Monday (a.k.a MY birthday), the girlfriend dated me for dinner. Where, i was not supposed to know. So throughout the day, no matter what i did or asked, the girlfriend just kept giggling and said "its a secret!" blah! This stemmed from last year when i did the same thing to the girlfriend for her birthday! haa.. Wad goes round comes around? Last year the girlfriend drive to toa payoh and yours truly took over the wheel and drove the girlfriend to the destination amidst lotsa confusion created to make the girlfriend feel lost. Indeed she was lost and the overall effect was tremendous. For the record, we went to Dozo. Fast forward nearly a year on, the girlfriend now drove herself to my office and instead of asking me to take over the wheel, she carried on at the wheel.. Yay!!

So off we went~ driving past hdb hub, then driving along PIE, with me asking where are we going all the time. Haa! Travelling down stevens road, i screamed "Orchard!" but the girlfriend jus shrugged me away and said "NO". Wrong guess. So down we continued past Goodwood Park where i proudly exclaimed i knew the girlfriend had used her W&D contacts to ask the chefs there to prepare a durian feast for me eventhough it wasn't durian season! "NO" came just as loudly back. Duhhh.. another wrong guess

So as the car drove further down, my imaginations became wilder as i practically named all restaurants in Far East Plaza, Shaw Centre, Marriot Hotel, Wheelock and ION. "No, No, Wrong~" were all that i heard. hahaha!

So as we travelled down grange road, the options seemed to water down but yet alot more places seem plausible. I started to randomly name locations and just as i was doing so, the car turned down a familiar route towards River Valley, Clarke Quay and the Mohammad Sultan area. Ahhhhh~~ amazing race yah? so exciting for the girlfriend to drive me around to that secretive place!! heh! *some how i think that dear knows roughly where i will be bringing him to dine at but he's rather good at BS-ing me and giving me those fake expressions and act blur like a sotong*

To cut matters shorter, we really turned into MS so that eliminated Clarke Quay from the equation. My first thought was one of those restaurants at Gallery Hotel since we were there earlier for food tasting but nope, the car din venture so far. Instead, the girlfriend drove into the Robertson Quay car park and parked there. Hmmm...i was really lost. Dunno where the girlfriend was going to bring the fat boy to. *same route as the one he travelled last year, just that instead of turning right at the road junction, i went left*

So as we held hands and slowly walked down the enchanting Robertson Quay river, we walked past numerous restaurants as well. Each time we past by one, i slowed down expecting the girlfriend to stop and say "TA-DA~, here we are!" But!, we just continued walking further down. The walk was romantic but the anticipation was even stronger! And so, just when i thought we were going to some restaurant which the girlfriend had very much earlier expressed interest in dining at, I walked a little faster. At this point, the girlfriend suddenly tugged me and entered another one. WHAHAHAH we reached!! *as we were steps closer to our destination, that silly boy still hasn't really given up guessing and suddenly when he asked me are we going to the restaurant with the red signboard, i suddenly felt so sad! did my planned just foiled? he guess correct? but luckily there were 2 restaurant with red signboards so i just carried on making him confused! also partly we strolled along Robertson Quay a week ago, and we talked briefly about the restaurants along there, so i was afraid he could have been aware of the mystery location*

Brasserie Wolf! ahhhh wooooo~~ so the waiter set us down and i stared very hard the menu. errr.. everything was in french!! how was i suppose to read french? the only thing i knew was Jet Ai'me or however u spell it, which meant i love you. Alas! the english wordings were on the opposite side of the menu card! LOL! *interesting activity for the night, was to get boy to update his facebook status via his iphone*

So we ordered escargots, french onion soup, 2 main courses of tenderloin steak and prawn & scallop with marsh potato. yummilicious! First time eating authentic french onion soup with the bread, cheese and onions ooozing flavour. But the best part of the dinner was desserts. the girlfriend asked me what i wanted to eat. As usual, i can't decide so the witty girlfriend asked the waiter to recommend. So he recommended the choux ball which comes in 2s..

After 15 mins, the choux ball arrived. There were not 1 not 2 but 3 profiterole balls! Best part was, a small litted candle in between them all. That was the girlfriend's surprise birthday cake for me! So sweeeet right! hehe love you dear! and Happy Birthday to me! *the supposed cake prepared by the restaurant was Opera cake, but i called them and asked them to change it to Choux buns instead, looks cuter! and yes, i sang boy many versions of birthday song, different languages and genres!*

Well that's all for part 1 of my birthday celebration! *Ok boy has given up updating about his celebration so i shall continue with the rest of it!!!*
