Last week, I celebrated my birthday in traditional fashion.
Another steamboat at home with my family! I think I have been doing the same thing for many donkey years but I still like. A nice simple celebration with my father, mother and sister =) Steamboat rocks!! This year’s steamboat is sponsored by my sister as a birthday present to me.
Thank you Jiayi!!
Before the steamboat, I had a yummy salt-baked chicken for lunch. My father bought it from Tampines Mall along with my birthday cake he he.
In the afternoon, my sister and I went to the supermarket to buy the food for the steamboat plus some other of my favourite food. We bought quite a lot of food and the cashier thought that me and my sister were going to eat all the food by ourselves lol. We got back just in time for dinner and prepared the steamboat! Okay most of the preparation was done by my sis he he.
We had prawns, various mushrooms, slices of pork (shabu shabu styled), cheese hotdogs, shark meat (dunno just try), toufu, vegetables and some more. Just put them all in the pot, and let it do the magic …. My favourite food in the steamboat?
I love it when steamboats have this kind of fishball and will usually take a lot of it.
Delicious! But that’s not all …..
Besides the steamboat we also had Satay and nuggets!
Satay is one of my favourite food of all time and fortunately we were able to find a stall selling them at one of the coffee shops.
They were really good!! Nice tender chicken and mutton satay!! I can eat at least 50 sticks of satay if anyone once to sponsor me thank you. The nuggets were quite tasty too. We bought the cheese flavoured once out of curiosity and used the oven to make it crispy. =)
So the night was spent eating the steamboat, watching some tv and blowing my birthday cake.
Thank you papa, mummy and sis for being with me on my birthday!! I hope this tradition continues forever.
Presents time …This year, I have the usual ang paos from my parents and Fei bought me a t-shirt he he. I also had an early “birthday present” from Starhub …
The kind folks over at Starhub gave me a Nokia 5800 to try out the TV on Mobile service. So kind of them to do this. They also waived off my caller ID service fee for six months when I recontracted my plan … totally unexpected and cool. I love surprises! Hubber for life! Ha ha. The TV on Mobile service was smooth and easy to use on the Nokia 5800
- just sms to 6757 and click on the link they send you =) …. Too bad I was already planning to recontract my phone line and get the HTC Hero, so I passed the Nokia to my mom who wanted a new phone. I prefer capacitive touch screen la pai seh. I downloaded a cute theme for her from the Ovi store lol.
I didn’t know the Nokia has its own store like the iPhone’s app store now ….so sua ku la me heh. At the moment, Apple’s store is much better though =P. Even the android market I’m using now is not as good. I’m getting used my new HTC hero now though and I’m loving it the moment. Too bad we don’t have paid apps in Singapore yet. When will it come out ah?? For now, I can only be a cheapo and download those free apps he he. The Nokia 5800 supposed to come a card which will enable me to download unlimited music for a year but I lost the card!! I wanted to try out how it actually works, but too bad I don’t have the chance now. =(
My dog Kimi also had a birthday present for me ….
She changed her bed sheet for the week to match mine. So sweet and cute!! Thanks Kimi!!
