during an interlude, the host was like, "so who likes ice cream?" and I naively thought it was just a show of hands kind of thing, so i raised mine. next thing i know, i was hauled on stage for a ben and jerry's taste test, blindfolded. winner gets b&j voucher! but in the end all 3 of us were given the vouchers, chey. i was the fastest to identify the flavour (strawberry cheesecake), by the way.

here's me up there taken by zq.


after the event, we went for our jap dinner at a secret location! hoho. twas damn awesome.

then, what's a birthday without drinks to numb the pain of growing older right?
we ended up at the bar that's outside alley/acid. here's us, when i am less red. ha.
she drink ice water!
i drink... half a vodka redbull. before this i was treated to a tiger pint, a shot of absinthe and a barcardi 151. the absinthe taste is nastyyy and it burns. barcardi 151 is 78% alcohol, by the way.

guess who woke up with a headache the next day :P

but it was a damn fun day and night. and a damn good way to usher in turning older and wiser.
thanks bestie for the night, and everyone for your happy birthdays! :)
