DAD'S BIRTHDAY!

Today was my dad's birthday.

I made an Oreo Cheesecake for him. Haha. It's super delicious. My bro said that it tasted better than the previous time. I think it's because I changed the brand of cheese. Lol.

I will post the pictures up next time when I'm free.

My mom bought him a shirt and a pair of pants. She actually bought HIPSTER pants. Haha, Jasmine I bet you are laughing at this now. My dad tried it on and my bro and I were immediately like, "Nooo... Daddy! You can't wear that!"

Haha. My mom is gonna change the pants.

At night, we went to eat steamboat at Marina.

I haven't eaten steamboat for so long.

My bro recommended the place cos he went there with his church group to eat the other time. It's actually a steamboat and BBQ, 2-in-1 sorta thing. I thought it was pretty nice.

There was an area where we could go and take fresh food to cook. Correction. The food didn't really look very fresh.

My mom taught me the other time how to look out for fresh food.

For prawns, the head musn't be loose and hanging out from it's body, plus it must have some orange fluid in its head.

I think the orange fluid is kinda gross. It's like some sort of mushed up brain matter. If I eat prawns, I always request for the head to be detached first.

My mom and I went to go and take food while bro and Dad slacked at the table.

We came back with HORDES of food. For those of you who know, my family eats a lot.

We also tried BBQ-ing food and the oil kept splattering on us! I liked the BBQ-ed prawns and black pepper chicken.

Anyway, the food there was so-so but I've tried better at Koka steamboat, which I absolutely love. If you're looking for something cheap, you can visit there though.

After we finished the steamboat, we drove past Marina area and I saw this empty field.

I remember when I was young, my parents used to bring me there to fly kites. I was really small then and didn't know how to control the kite and stuff, and I remember watching my Dad steering the kite and being really amazed at how a small colourful flag could soar so high up into the sky.

Sigh. Wonderful childhood memories.

On our way home, my bro and I started singing songs in the car. We sang all the way home.

I had a wonderful day. Tired now. Gonna sleep!
