WOULDN'T IT BE LOVERLY

lots of chocolate for me to eat
lots of coal making lots of heat
warm face, warm hands, warm feet
oh wouldn't it be loverly.

despite the lack of actual sleep, it was a smashing weekend.

and it's dedicated to shingling...one of my best girl friends i've met in salsa.

we don't hang out often, but she never fails to be around whenever i needed someone to talk to.

ever since that one long friendster email she sent me. =)

so here's to shingling...


Daphne, me, Ling

if it weren't for her birthday, ling and i probably wouldn't have gone down to union.

it was really good to see her again after a long absence. =)

and i was really tired earlier so wasn't sure if i could've made it.


Daphne, Ling, Shingling, me

ling and i did exotic together while daphne and shingling took it recently.

it's been a long time coming...this picture.


Clockwise: Joseph, me, Eric, Simon, Ling, Shingling, Daphne, HsiaoChing

it's nice to band together for someone's birthday.

you see how one person's made an impact on many lives, simply by being there.


the start of a fantastic meal

Senso is AMAZING.

well, the company made the dinner that much more memorable.

and i love bread dipped in olive oil and vinegar. =)


our little round table of funness

before we dug in deep.


compliments of the chef

this fried risotto starter was quite good, if only a little starchy.


Clockwise: lobster linguine, duck leg meat ravioli, risotto, cod fish

they were all yummy.

the cod fish was the hot favorite, with its cream sauce.

the risotto came in a close second, followed by the lobster linguine and the ravioli.

the ravioli only came in last because of how rich it was.


no more

and you can tell how much we loved the food.


the famed senso tiramisu

finally tried the famous cake daphne raved about months back.

we girls just dug into it like wild animals.


recommended chocolata

i liked this better. =)

crispy on the outside, oozing chocolate on the inside, topped with a gold leaf and a scoop of ice cream.

delish.


love this

we had the restaurant play "THE BIRTHDAY SONG" as they brought the cake out.

i've always loved the song because it's so classy...and for a good girl friend, i couldn't recommend anything less.

so light a candle on your cake
for every smile you've helped create
for every heart and every soul
you've helped to grow a little more.

love you, girl. =)

and for my final picture of the day...


the baby with no name

go to sleep now, little one
mommy's here, no harm with come
when you wake all your troubles be gone
little one.
