The Best Surprise

My weekend started with Mo's birthday celebration on Friday night. Dinner in a fairly new Indian restaurant-Zouk was great. It has been more than 4 years that we've been hanging out together but i still feel that i haven't known enough of him to write him a great birthday wish.. shame of me.. However, a night of chilling out in Abdullah's place allowed me to see the more 'fun' side of him. Mo's 'heroic' legend of how he was trying to escape from Dr Lay's sight and how he manage to offend our Prof Devlin by addressing him as "Mr" & calling him a 'WHATEVER' right in front of the UNPREDICTABLE beast cracked us all up!!

Our day trip to Birmingham was very short. Pin and i went down to pay Shin and her mum a visit. We spent nearly 3 hrs in the BDSA conference but no regrets. It was an eyeopener to her and hopefully she did get to understand dentistry a little bit more. We manage to have some free ice-creams and smoothies in the conference, not forgetting the freebies!! We had a good time meeting our far relatives and it did make me feel a lot warmer especially in winter time. Birmingham was packed with people as everyone is expecting the lighting ceremony (an event to switch the Christmas lights on). A few well-known singers and bands including JLS are suppose to be there. Birmingham's Christmas market is awesome! We had loads of sweets and food!

Highlight of the day-- An unexpected meeting with Chun Yip & Derek! Was so so so so shock when i bumped into them in the well-known M'sian restaurant in Birm!! Havent met Chun Yip since we graduated from IS whereas it has been 2 years since i've met Derek! They are both working in different places and were there in Birmingham to meet up with another friend. We were all there due to the same purpose --> FOOD!!!!! Birm owns the BEST M'SIAN RESTAURANT! =D. It was a short meeting and we hardly have enough time to catch up. However it is the best surprise after a long while.. I am happy that everyone is doing great.

Enn Swan & Kevin came over for a potluck. We had a long chat after our dinner until grandpa finally usher me to bed. It was only 11pm! Grandpa & Danny even bribed me with a bubble tea just to make me go to bed earlier =p
It feels like home where daddy often have some patients/friends visiting right after dinner for consultation and then stayed for ages, chit chat about nothing important, but in the end, everyone left and went to bed, tired but happy. It's probably the way of how most M'sian spend their time in the evening bonding with friends and family...

Well.. lights off time!

Good night Yeye & Danny & Stitch Alien ! ^^

It was a very fulfilling weekend!
