[24-25Oct]Yihui’s Birthday+School

Went to Yihui’s house on his birthday to celebrate with his family and Amanda then went to Lihao’s place with Hutomo…


it was chocolate cake.. tasted nice at first, but it took no more than a few mouth fulls before I got sick of it.. lol

Amanda

I was trying out my (then) new 70-300mm zoom lens from his room and it was amazing! I could see the labels on the boxes in that room (which was at another block some distance away!)

I can see the uncles at the kopitiam 18 floors below!

it goes far!

The next day, we met up with Rachel, Tommy, Peixuan and Mindy at Orchard Central at Somerset!

Tommy is really hungry!

Head shots!


we were waiting to get a seat at this Japanese restaurant

meanwhile, I decided to take a tour of the spanking new 12 story mall!

Ben & Jerry’s

A Peace of Ice Cream

The lighting was quite nice…

Its the best I could get of the escalators…

Another restaurant

Glass lifts with all glass doors

Temporary hoardings for some of the yet-to-be-opened shops

still waiting for that elusive table…

before finally…

this is almost like his signature pose

Mindy n PX

yihui wrote on the feedback form…

Calling Kian Lam to ask about his absence

3 of them ordered this!

Full set meal

I ordered the Charcoal grilled chicken! REALLY good! Juicy succulent meat done till sweet perfection!

Time for the unglam photos…

Unglam King!

After the meal

preparing

Birthday Cake(s)

Lighting the candles

Happy birthday!’

Making a wish

Blowing…

still blowing

still…

he thinks he got them mostly out…

but no, they were self-relighting candles!

We had to extinguish the candles for him as the candles produced a lot of smoke, way more than expected and we were sitting directly under a fire smoke detector and didn’t want to risk setting it off!

Still blur about the candles

Everybody got their personal ‘piece’ of ice cream ‘cake’ (without the cake part)

Lift Lobby

Ground Floor

A typical day in my class.. Well not really, but have a module this semester that requires us to play warcraft (and I still cant make heads from tails about the long lists of heroes or what nots)

I just got back my 18-105 that day, so I was playing with the candied shots

I like this shot!

Edmund

My (very cramped) classroom! (remember the block L5 days?)
