Stella's B-Day Gathering At the Rice Table

-

Met up with my usual group of friends, Richard, Jason & Caifeng to celebrate Stella's birthday just now at Suntec City Rice Table. In case you are wondering, who was the guy sitting face to face with Stella, it was her brother.

A bit sad though was that Huiyu could not make it at the last moment due to work commitments. I guess this is the bad part about being in the government sector, even though it is officially a 5 day working week, but you still have to go back on weekends on your own to clear your work if it can't be completed.

Everyone was on time and we started with the food, which we couldn't finish as we had close to 24 small plates of dishes with plain rice. The bill was quite ok. It was lesser than expected.

After that, we went for a drink at the Esplande Harry's Steakhouse. The service was quite bad. If we have the chance to be there again, I will not choose that.

My friends just knew me too well. They guessed that my birthday bash will be bigger than Richard's. Well, I am not afraid to say it is bigger, but I wonder it will be better because I haven't decided on the place yet.

Since the birthday gal for this month asked me the question, I shall put my list here, knowing that she will read this. Haha!!!

  1. Paul (the host)
  2. Richard
  3. Jason
  4. Caifeng
  5. Kelvin

  11. Sis Elaine
  12. Zuo Xin (Elaine's bf)

I don't think I have missed out anyone here, not even my family members. Haha.

Further details to be up in Nov before I start my exam preparation.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
