First of all, lets not forget its Ben's bday too! Happy Birthday Ben! :) KL suggested Black Angus, the irony in this is that KL doesn't eat beef. It has a country feel to it and throughout the nite, country music was playing. Dixie Chicks, woohoo! I love their salt and pepper shakers. Umm, some strawberry drink? And .. I have no idea :P Guess who chose a beer instead? :D Our entree came with a salad. KL chose the soup. Huiyi and I shared a black pepper steak with garlic mashed potatoes, fried onion thingies and veggies. I absolutely loved this whole dish. Potatoes were garlicky, beef was tender, onions thingy were addictive and veggies were lightly seasoned. KL had the chicken teriyaki. Their mudpie with fudge .... wish they had poured the fudge over for us. Its hard to pour when it has cooled down. Chocolate cake with ice cream. Me, Huiyi and KL .... the 3 musketeers!
There weren't plans on what to do until the day itself. I really did not want to go to some countdown party that was packed and loud. I was lazy ... and feeling old :(
While "working" my half day on new year's eve, we decided that we would just meet for dinner, then a movie and come out just in time to ring in the new year.
It was a great meal but a tad expensive. Our bill was $132 .... haha, maybe we should have ordered 1 dessert.
After dinner, we made our way to Lido where we watched 7 Pounds starring Will Smith. The movie was slow in the beginning and quite sad ....
We came out of the cinema at about 11.20pm and made our way to Starbucks. Surprisingly it wasn't crowded at all.
It was there that we rang in the New Year. Nothing wild and crazy, just something simple with my close friends. Guess it beats being home alone and watching the second hand reach 12.
Hope that the new year would be a better one .....
P.S. Thanks to Huiyi for all the pics. My sis had the camera but in the end she did not take a single pic!
Some more stuff I bought recently :)
