20th Birthday (Part One)

I initially wanted to do a long entry about my birthday, but it would certainly do the people who made it happen injustice. How can I sum up their effort in ONE entry, which I am pretty sure, most of you out there would prolly just scan through, look at the pictures the most, and then, move along..No, I want you to read every single bit of what I have to say, though I must warn you, this entry might be tad alil boring, as I am only writing down what happened, no other artificials included. =)

So, on the 9th, the anouncement of Midsem break, one weak break for the whole undergraduate. For most of them who has toiled their hearts out the week before the break, would be delighted to know that they are going to enjoy themselves. For the rest, it would be a week of tormenting, burried with infinite amount of books, and unfinished lab reports to be completed. I am in the group, which I would need to complete all my assignments in addition to reading, since the week after,is going to be hell.

I rushed back, about 2pm, only to find out that no one is at home. As usual, dad has come up with the idea of family dinner, in conjunction of my birthday. Their daughter is no longer a teenager anymore. Hallelujah! No more emotional breakdowns, no more throwing tantrums, no more acne breakouts....NOT!

That night, dad brought us to Indulgence. Kononnya, my favourite place..but then it was mum's. So, I agreed to the idea, and we settled down at 8.15pm.. The waitresses gave us big huge grins as soon as they saw us..they must be thinking that we are crazy..We are there, almost every fortnight..and I am always there with the gang, for cakes and iced water!
The waitress came with the "Tonight's special" board, and explain to us in sophisticated English which I didn't bother listening to. I looked around, figuring out what is there left for me to try..

Dad ordered 4 Kurumato Oysters. But when it came, we felt cheated, as the size is no bigger than my thumb. And most of you would know the size of my fingers..so, you can prolly imagine. One gulp, and the oyster slide into our throats, barely could even taste it. And the waitress told us it tasted a lil fruity..Hell no, I didn't even get to taste a single bit!

Dad's order came first, which is the German sausages and also his salmon..(dunno what)..The four of us, finished up the dishes, and find it alright only lah.. Mum's order which is lamb, came next..and yes, the 4 of us sapu habis also..Bro's order came then, with salmon wrapped with seaweed and other garnishings..(called the "pinky panko") and we sapu that too.
HOWEVER, my order didn't come. Apparently the waitress didn't put down my order, thus leaving me with nothing to eat. She came and apologize, saying that they would do it a.s.a.p, but I was heated up inside. I declined her offer to replace a dish, and asked for dessert to be served.

I took the heavenly dips, which is the strawberries, dipped with rich chocolate. Only 6 pieces of mini-sized strawberries, and they are charging RM18.00 for one plate. Melampau betul!..Aah, i miss Cameron Highlands' trip where I can eat all I want, for a mere RM10..that time, I ate until I got sick of strawberries..

The three of them ordered a cake each, and a cup of coffee..

So, they had a satisfying meal, whereas the birthday girl got no dinner.
I sulked all the way home.

Clockwise: MUM AND DAD, MUA, BROTHER.
