Her condition was getting worsen.. and anytime...
On tat Mon, went visit her..everything still going on.. was hurt when she said she was in pain and did not want to live anymore.. Does pple get to be stubborn when its time? nt sure..
Went bk hm at 11pm+.. Within less than 1 hr, called bk to hosp, urgent.. heartbeat fast.. any fone call at this moment sound v scary..
Her look, same expression when i saw grandma at her last moment.. hate tat feeling..
But she survived for the nite.. But was a tough day for all of us..
Cried at the moment when i saw the pic which i need to edit for the real day.. She smiled so nicely in tat pic..
Rushed bk hm for editing, But asked to rush hosp when reach my bustop..
Took cab down, pray in cab tat she let me see her for the last moment..
She did.. and left us peacefully forever... on the next day..


Things changed too fast within tat day, I was still tokg to her b4 i left hm..haiz..

My last 20's bday

Been a very long time since upload my blog..and pple r 'complaining' abt it also.. u noe who u r~ =P

As from him...
For my last 20's bday celebration.. well, i kinda have a surprise from him.. always gt surprise during bday makan.. he's gd in finding makan places.. =)

He juz ask me to wear nicer..and said we will go eat dim sum at ion orchard.. cos 'very' high class there.. yes, i urged to hv dim sum buffet for my bday meal.. den he brought me to level 5 of ION Orchard..and i really tot he was gng to bring me to the Canto restaurant tat also selling dim sum or one of the Paradise Group? den suddenly he stopped at one counter.. den realise is a high level dining place.. wah.. din even noe gt this place.. Salt Grill & Sky Bar.. hv to go up to level 55~ b4 tking the lift up, will walk past one pathway where many photos are displayed on the way.. Maggi Cheung, Edison, Sun Yan Zi, Ceclia Zhang Po Z, etc..



took the lift to level 55..and have a table beside the window..where we r able to see scenery.. nt bad..but cant figure wheres the place..haa..

ordered 'glass' Sydney crab omelette, miso mustard broth, Pan roasted Hokkaido sea scallops, caultiflower cream, citrus salad, basil oil.. main course as Ribeye 250g 120 days grain fed.. dessert as Chocolate 3 ways and Strawberry souffle, coconut and pandan gelato..







as expected, these type of food do not mk us feel full at all.. =X but wun come again ba? haa.. so ex.. Thanks to him for the meal also~ =D

Oh ya, the nxt day lunch went for Sims Ave 126 Dim sum~ yums..





As from her..
was planning to meet jo and richie one..but too bad jo sick..den in the end only meet joey.. she brought me to one pl tat i nvr went b4.. WestEnd.. this name only remind me of Aust~.. yr2005~ 6yrs ago.. so fast.. WestEnd at 216, 218, 220 Potong Pasir Rd S(118581) www.westend.sg... is a nice place for family / frens gathering.. and reservation is recommended..

ordered wild mushroom soup, calamari, mussels in white wine~, steak for both of us.. i still MISSED the mussels! it was SO GD~ esp when bread is dipped with white wine.. is really~ awesome!~ u need to try personally.. else u cant feel hw i already felt.. haa.. :P






As from them..
combined with AT and BQ bday~ suggested to go Mad for Garlic @ Suntec.. ordered Garlic Snowing Pizza and Seafood pasta.. to be shared with ZN.. but think ordering of seafood pasta is a wrong choice ba.. cos he dun eat sotong and mussels.. wat a waste! =P but nt really nice also..haha.. but the pizza is gd.. think most of their pizza do nt hv much meat..and all thin crispy..
