How did I celebrate my 22nd birrthday?

Alright, as the title says, this entry is all about the places that I have been to just to celebrate my 22nd birthday.
Although this year is considered a quiet birthday without the accompany of UK gang but I still enjoyed it a lot.
I've received a new camera and Bvlgari perfume as birthday gift from Hubby, birthday cards from SKY (it's handmade!) and Shin (all the way from UK!), treats from the FBEPS Girls and of course spending quality time with my family.
And I knew some might be busy with their works or assignments so I tried my best to arrange different outings just so I wouldn't miss out celebrating with anyone.
I know it does sound bit exaggerating but I just wanna find excuses to spend more time with the people I adore!
So beware, this entry is gonna be flooded with lots of pictures! XD

Later after the dinner at Excapade, we bought cake from Bakerlyn and their service was great!
It was already 9pm when we walked in the bakery and we looked at the cakes being displayed, they were all booked. We inquired the staff and she said they could proceed our order asap and she promised we could choose any flavours as well as the shape of the cake, just that we would have to wait for 10-15 minutes. Of course we were willing to wait! For 10-15 mins of waiting and you could enjoy yummy cake, that's a good deal! It's definitely a good place for last minute purchase on birthday cakes!

So after dim sum buffet, we thought it might be good idea to have some "exercising" by doing window shopping at The Mall. But I actually knew that "cuci mata" was the guys' main intention.

Hi Cherie!

Thanks for dropping by.
I was using Sony DSC W50 and only changed to Panasonic Lumix LX-3 recently.
