C'est LA viE

What do u think about this email??

Yeah, 25 indeed is a mature age, well, in my opinion, is like a transform stage from being a teenager.

Yet, i am quite confused about turning 25, which means i am no longer being a teenager, means i am no longer being young?

well, what's make me think that?? I have no idea....but somehow i did refuse to turn into 25...

however, that's life...so move on, be mature, be 25....be more positive about life, and live a meaningful life~

Thanks for organizing my lovely birthday dinner, Ping...

so tonight is not my birthday obviously, but since i have all my weekend fully 'booked'...tonight is the night!!

I had a lovely meal at Bethany's, with my colleagues, Ping, Anthony, Halie, Natalie and Hank.

I was actually pleased that Hank mentioned about my birthday, and Ping raised the idea about celebrating it..

I actually refused to have a big celebration with my colleagues, because I dont want my birthday being an excuse for dinner gathering. For me, that isnt right...U may say i take it very harsh, but I just want to have a simple celebration with my frens who really wish to celebrate with me, but not just coming for a meal, thank you very much.

Happy that Ping respect my point of view, especially she was the one who always have dinner suggestion while others having birthday, and asking so many other irrelavant colleagues or frens to attend just for fun.

Somehow, in my opinion, this is rude...but yes, just me. Anyways, thanks ping.

back to the dinner, we shared a huge platter of entree, yum!

I could see that everyone was very hungry, the platter gone like less than 20mins.

And here comes my main! Pan seared ostrich fillet~

This was my first ostrich fillet outside Malaysia, and in fillet! I tried stir-fried ostrich meat (in pieces) in Malaysia before, now only realized it was so not right, because different from other red meat, ostrich actually has less fat and easily to be cooked, therefore most western fine dining used to serve ostrich fillet rare, or seal the fillet with high heat, this is because well done to overcooked ostrich fillet taste very coarse, texture just like eating a leather. This totally ruining this wonderful ostrich fillet...

I ordered my ostrich fillet between rare and medium....still abit hesistated to eat it rare regardless i had tons of sashimi before.

It tastes not bad, well, I actually didnt really understand why it served in a bowl of kumara soup with risotto?? I actually had to dig in my spoon to find the fillet..==

Overall, it still taste alright.

Then my dessert....vanilla bean panna cotta~ hmmm....actually i was dissapointed while i saw it.

Taste was just normal, dislike the texture tho...too hard. And the passion fruit jelly just not right...but others really like the mint and pineapple combination of the salad.

In general, tonight was a great night, and i am not complaining anything since i have my lovely colleagues to celebrate with me, and i got free meal! Thanks Halie!!

yet to mention, out of surprise, i received this beautiful clutch from Ping!! OMG, really happy, forever new~ I will stay forever young! Thanks ping!
